ShangriLa vegan on Telegraph — Restaurant in Oakland

The menu was thoughtful, well balanced, delicious, and accommodated not only a vegan lifestyle but also diets with other specifications by offering a simple menu option with no added spices/etc. By the way- The menu does change twice a day which is amazing for multiple reasons. Let me paint a picture: I walked in ...cute comfortable dining, friendly attentive staff... I picked the moderate sized meal (vs. large option)... my understanding is that there is a full plate created for you when you come in.... very well thought out meals with multiple things in it to enjoy and then you just come in and pick what portion size you’d like. Mine came with a bowl of soup- followed by a full meal which had many things and ALL were DELICIOUS🤤😻. I posted a picture of all of the things that were in my meal today, as you’ll see the moderate size has plenty of food. Only thing I didn’t love was the raw pie..which I ordered as an extra. I got the coconut and my sister got the mango.... Neither had the depth/flavor that i prefer but everything else was fantastic. I’d come back again and again. Kid friendly, easy street parking, great price for amount of food and quality. Also has to be said: tea was included in price and was self serve... good thing too because it was amazing !! Definitely enjoyed a few...

I drove back to SF, the meal tempting me with its aroma the whole way. I got home and split everything onto two dishes (and bowls for the soup) one for me and one for my partner. Finally, I sat down to eat and every part of it was fantastic! It reminded me of eating at the Yogaville Ashram in Virginia; vegan, healthy,...

I visited this afternoon for lunch and had a horrible experience. The man serving the restaurant was extremely rude. I had to walk to the counter to put in my order and as I was ordering, he was SCROLLING THROUGH HIS PHONE WHILE TAKING MY ORDER - the entire time! After we have finished the meal, I asked for a to-go box. When I kindly asked for a container for the soup as well, he SIGHTED in exasperation! When he returned he THREW the container on my table and walked away. I felt horrible and lunch with my family that was supposed to be a calm experience turned into a horrible time that made me feel like trash. I was excited about this vegan restaurant, but do not see a point in returning to be...
