"This is my must eat at!"   My Rating
6 malloneek	Posted on: Tuesday, November 10, 2009
	Review: When ever I travel to San Diego I must eat here! I can't seem to move past the neat-loaf, but have tried a few other tihngs. The food is good, place is light and airy. The only downside is the staff is a little, um, stand-offish. They are cordial and polite but not overly friendly. Food is great!   Pros: NeatLoaf! * Reasonable price * Cons: * *

"YUM!"   My Rating
8 kristalinn	Posted on: Wednesday, June 03, 2009
	Review: I'm Vegan so I love a good salad... but I'm not exagerating in the slightest when I say that their house salad was THE most delicious salad I have EVER eaten! We had hummus, which was good. We ordered some sort of curry that was a special, which was good as well, and the Vegan meatloaf (good). But next time I visit, I'm just having a BIG HUGE salad! Seriously! They must put pure love into it! The dressing was some sort of lemon tahini... something.. mmmm! AND, I ordered an orange juice... I swear someone picked some oranges and squeezed them right then and there when I ordered it! FRESH!! On top of it all, everyone working there is so kind and there is a wonderful energy in this place. Downside, they close sometimes and I've shown up and the closed sign is up. I need to remember to call before I just show up.   Pros: SALAD!! * SALAD DRESSING! * Fresh squeezed OJ! Cons: Some odd hours * *

"Some winners"   My Rating
2 Vegan Vera	Posted on: Tuesday, July 29, 2008
	Review: For vegans, there are some bland dishes ("thai" stir-fry, PLB burger), but the hummous wrap and vegan neatloaf are terrific! I also like to try their vegan soup of the day and salad with the sesame herb salad dressing (and dessert if there is room). Viewing the the antics of Sri Chimroy himself on the TV screen used to be a source of amusement, but now I just chose to ignore it. Check out the Sunday buffet (intermittent days) with vegan options!   Pros: good choices for vegans and non-vegans * fairly healthy * good portions for price Cons: not open Sundays (call for brunch days) * tight seating areas * can get noisy/crowded

"Lovely food, peaceful surroundings."   My Rating
1 Soyarra	Posted on: Saturday, February 16, 2008
	Review: I had lunch alone here, and it was great. The beet-coconut soup was subtle and delicious, with a very startling deep purple color. The NeatLoaf (their signature dish) was tasty and filling (something a non-veg might like). The restaurant is quiet and quite restful - a perfect place to eat and read a book at one's leisure. It's a little hard to find (in the Uptown neighborhood far from downtown), but worth it. I can't wait to visit it again, this time with my husband.   Pros: great food * nice service * calm surroundings Cons: * *

"Truly awesome"   My Rating
8 Cheryl27	Posted on: Tuesday, February 12, 2008
	Review: This place was truly awesome. I took my whole family, all of them confirmed meat eaters and everyone loved it. The staff were friendly and the food was outstanding. My brother said it was the best quesadilla he'd ever had. The carrot cake was to die for and the soup was superlative. The restaurant follows the philosophy of Sri Chinmoy and peace and tranquility are found in abundance in the atmosphere, the staff and the food.   Pros: delicious food * Great atmosphere * friendly staff Cons: * *

"Excellent food; lovely atmosphere"   My Rating

	Review: If you can't find low-fat, raw food or are simply a vegetarian, Jyoti Bihanga is a wonderful option! The staff is very friendly, the restaurant is delightful, and the food is delicious! They have many vegan options and most of their other dishes can be made vegan upon request. The prices are also very reasonable. Jyoti Bihanga is now one of our favorite restaurants!   Pros: Vegan * Delicious food * Wonderful staff Cons: No raw entrees * *

	Review: the food was delicious, I especially loved the mashed potatoes. The service was a little slow and the restaurant was full but the food was definitely worth it. The waiters were also very helpful and friendly. I didn't enjoy the dessert, but I really liked the food.   Pros: food * * Cons: * *

"Wonderful Evening Meal"   My Rating
1 lwylie	Posted on: Monday, January 29, 2007
	Review: A family gathering lead us to try Jyoti-Bihanga on the recommendation of a vegan friend. I was a bit concerned that non-veg family members would find the food too weird or too spicey. What occured was truly wonderful. The tone of the menu and the helpful wait person put everyone at ease. The salads were fresh and the entrees were exceptionally good. I have been vegetarian since 1975 and this was near the best veg food I have ever been served. I highly recommend this as a place to take non-veg folk.   Pros: cleanliness * food * friendly staff Cons: not in my home town * *

"My Favorite Veg Place in San Diego!"   My Rating
3 vixyash	Posted on: Tuesday, September 05, 2006
	Review: Can't say enough great things about this place! Every dish I've tried is delicious, from the organic iced teas, to the excellent entrees, to the delectable desserts. The "Neatloaf" is a must-try and is served either as an entree or in sandwich form (also a vegan version available). Even the simplest dishes like the baked potato with tofu and vegetables are brimming with large portions of mouthwatering morsels.   Pros: Tasty * Variety * Affordable Cons: Staff appears standoffish * at first *
