Maybe the BEST chocolate mousse in the entire world, everyone here is like always all smiles, customers and staff alike. This place is super mellow, super chill, laid back, and all relaxed.This is certainly gourmet-level dining accompanied by an affordable and for a easy on the wallet attitude.Parking is not bad, I've seen worse, like it's doable 4 sure. They always have various soups and desserts that change daily, Today I had the Mushroom, the hot cornbread goes nicely with the warm butter, this is the place my friend, and it will never end.FYI: Pay in Cash, 3.5% reduction in total bill...There's ur tip...LOLOLOLOL

This place is... interesting. Yes, that is my pick of word. Their dishes are healthy-leaning. Service was great. I believe they are serviced by a commune? If nearby, might stop by again. But not anywhere I would seek out.

I love this place SOOO MUCH! I'm not veg but sometimes I'm craving healthy plant based food & I'm not good at making it myself. Every other veg place I've tried so far is tasty but it's very processed because of all the faux meats. This place is hearty, fresh & makes me feel amazing after I eat. Not to mention the space is bright and inviting. I'm genuinely considering painting a room in my house the color of the restaurant because it just feels so good in there. & to top it off, the food is actually reasonably priced which isn't often the case for veg places. So far we've had a coconut lentil soup, a coconut veg curry, the Rama bowl & the neatloaf. I would get every single thing again. I also order the tropical sunrise smoothie everytime I go in. Tip: pay in cash!!

My friend and I decided to come here as neither us had been here for quite a few years as we don't generally go to this area. Besides, it's a very healthy alternative and jf you are looking for a vegetarian or vegan eatery this is a good place.It was inspired by the creative and spiritual leader Sri Chimoy. His purpose was for world peace including a lot of beautiful paintings thar are well known all over the world, given to charities and for sale. If you're not familiar with him check him out.We arrived around 12:30 and it was virtually empty which was nice and quiet. This is a very small restaurant and always clean. We decided to have real cheese and not vegan with our meal and sat a nice table by the window where it was warm. My friend ordered the chips, salsa, chili and corn bread. She enjoyed it and ordered the Nirvana tea and I had a delicious pineapple, banana, mango smoothie. I enjoyed my portobello quesadilla and a mild flavorful salsa. ($18.00 for mine)We were waited by a very nice woman who gave us very good service.This restaurant opened in 1986 and at that time good luck finding anything healthy to eat.The food is simple but, I guarantee you won't get any indigestion. ; )) It's really wonderful to see a restaurant that has survived over the years and is still here.Being staffed by disciples.

One of my favorite restaurants in all of San Diego. A completely different atmosphere from any restaurant in the area. AMAZING and quality food that makes you feel good after you eat it. Every time I go i order the special and it always is the best. If you're having a stressful week go and enjoy the comforting music and peaceful ambiance.

I believe this is a good Vegan place and I also need to try their other menu but I would not bring my kids here because they are not "nut-free". The place is a little chic and located at a good place to walk around. The ambiance inside is friendly and local. The service so far I cannot really say anything since when I visited I only ordered some desserts to go.

I am typing this review as I'm finishing my meal at this restaurant because I couldn't wait any longer to rave about the delicious food from Jyoti-Bihanga. First of all, the place is super cute and welcoming. I was seated immediately and I started my food experience with a hearty lentil soup that warmed my soul. I also ordered a Choco Chakra smoothie and for an entree I got the Rama Bowl (that coconut bacon is ). I loved every single bite! Hands down, best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in the area. I can't wait to return here and try other meals from their menu, which I'm sure will be equally exquisite.

First off, their Neatloaf is BOMB! Wish this place was full vegan, though. The vibe is kinda zen, kinda crunchy but not pretentious. I really like it here.

This place is a treasure. I often dream about their most delicious breakfast brunch. The food is always consistent. The service is great. It's a busy place so make sure you go early. This establishment honors Sri Chimnoy and you just feel that this food is Prasad. Holy food that feed the soul. Go here! Don't miss out. You'll regret it!
