Padmanadi Vegetarian Restaurant

Description

Padmanadi Vegetarian Restaurant in Edmonton, Alberta, opened in 2002. Kasim Kasim originally moved from Jakarta, Indonesia, where the original Padmanadi was founded in the late 70's. Back in Jakarta Padmanadi was the most popular vegetarian restaurant. The same appears to be happening in Edmonton as well!
Padmanadi means "Lotus Waterspring". The restaurant was dedicated to Kasim's mother. The vision behind Padmanadi is to promote the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle to all. The staff at Padmanadi treat all customers like family. The focus is on making friends, not money. Padmanadi regularly contributes both time, money and food to charity, such as the local homeless shelter. Recently, Padmanadi held a charitable event where they raised money for Indonesian tsunami victims. The food at Padmanadi is a blend of Indonesian, Chinese, Thai, and Indian cuisine. The restaurant is regularly featured in newspapers and consistently receives rave reviews. Many of the customers like the restaurant and staff so much they volunteer on a regular basis! All items on the menu at Padmanadi are vegan. If you want to learn more about vegetarianism or veganism, please visit the Vegetarians of Alberta site.
