Amrita Garden

I ate the burger with cheese and the tempeh. Both tasted flat, nothing special. My wife ate the lasagna which tasted superb. The staff was more interested in her smartphone than her customers.

We shared the vegan burger and soba noodle salad with my sister, and they were okay. Burger had too much sauces in it and was quite small to my opinion but the noodle salad was nice surprise even though there was too much dressing in it too. The atmosphere is perfect and the owner is sweet. Many healthy options. Maybe still would not go there again because the food wasn't so good.

Great place! The food is made wit love. Be prepared to wait for your order. A good place with fresh food but a little bit tasteless sometimes.

A quiet place to relax and enjoy the good food. They have a great range of food on offer. Also some really healthy options. Service was goody but didn't speak English well. Free WiFi and water. Good prices, I paid about 100 bath for a meal. It's organic food, so I think it's cheap.

Came here at 10:00am for some breakfast, couldn't find anyone, after a couple minutes we heard someone and shouted to ask if they were open, to which they said yes. We waited around for a few minutes for someone to come and give a menu, or say something while we could here the staff making noise at the back. One staff member came out just as we were leaving.

The staff here seem to think it's more important to stock the glasses for their empty restaurant rather than tend to their first customers.

I'm not fussy or hard to please, but this is common courtesy to make your customers feel welcome. I sure as hell wouldn't want my food made by people here, I wouldn't enjoy it coming from someone who has no interested invested in their work.

First impressions are everything. Maybe if we came on a different day we would have loved it, but unfortunately not impressed.

I have a vegan cafe myself, and would never allow myself or my staff to lower their standards like I was shown today. Disappointing.

It had such a good atmosphere and was so tasty! I had the biggest vegan burger I've ever seen and it was only 150 bath, so $5 Canadian

A small space with an outdoor veranda and indoor living room style setting. All open air, no a/c that I could see. Food was simple but delicious and nutritious. Staff were warm and welcoming. The owner's toddler boy came round to play with everyone. The overall experience was reminiscent of similar places in CM like Bodhi Tree or Pink House - relaxed and peaceful, like being in some local familiy's living room. Would go again.

Don't look any further: Amrita is the place to be! Organic vegan food, lot's of fermented foods and a nice little shop.

The food was good, nothing too special, and the portions were quite small.
I did enjoy the tempeh though!
My friend had the burger but was quite underwhelmed :)
Their asian style dishes are the best!

We were pleasantly surprised how fresh the ingredients tastes! It's a mix between western and Thai food, definitely would recommend it.

Amrita Garden used to be one of my favourite places, I was there at least once or twice a week. But oh gosh it changed so much. Staff is so rude and inattentive. They let me pay before receiving food and drink, so therefore I only gave a small tip and she got so mad at me. Staff in general speaks really little English, so make sure evything you get is really vegan (like drinks that are also made with milk).
Food that used to be great is now below average and was also cold! Not worth the high price!

I LOVED the food there! We ordered the soba noodles, vegan pasta, tempeh ribs, and Thai green soy milk tea. Everything was amazing! We went there twice when we were in Chiang Mai.

One thing that I think can be improve is that the banner outside of the restaurant says "vegan" but some desserts actually contain milk or honey. It would be great if the banner said "vegetarian" so people wouldn't walk in there thinking it was vegan.

I had lunch special for 99 B but the portion is way too small.

The best soba noodles I've ever had! Thank you so much! We'll be coming back!

Il locale mi e' piaciuto moltissimo, l'atmosfera e' incredibile. Il menu e' così ricco di scelta, che si vorrebbe provare davvero tutto. Io ho preso un lunch set con riso al Ginger, un caffè di fagioli rossi, un trancio di torta vegana alle carote e semi. Assolutamente fantastico!

An absolutely lovely little gem. Good food, mostly vegan, great service and to little dogs. The main attraction of this place is the feeling it exudes: relaxed, friendly, humble and kind. Def check it out.

Sorry to not agree with everyone's gushing reviews, but three of us are there last night and we all thought the food was completely lacking in flavour. Sure it might be healthy, but healthy does not need to be boring.
They didn't have the vegan burger, so perhaps that's why we lucked out.

Burgers with vegan cheese are verry tasty :)

My wife and I have been there numerous times and will continue to return for their vegan foods. Price is moderate, service is good and friendly.

Visiting many times, good food, nice owners, clean place. Family friendly.

What a nice place! It's so cosy in the little wooden house and the food we had was very good. The Burger with the selfmade cheese was nice and the rice pasta with the bolognese sauce and the extra parmesan (get it!) was very good. The staff was also very friendly. Hach. I like!

Congrats, You've found your vegan restaurant here in Chiang Mai! The atmosphere is very peaceful. Reminds me of my yoga shala back in the states. They have Vegan cheese plate, rice dishes, burgers, salads, stir fry, soup, soba noodle dishes, and spaghetti. They have coffee, tea, smoothies and kombucha as well. The list goes on. Yummy treats to take to go:)))

A sweet, relaxing place with a nice selection of food. An oasis in the old town.

We finished our lunch set menu (daily 10.00-15.00), super full filing and delicious. Great place if you are tired of thai food and looking for a healthy choice. A big plus is that you are sitting in a garden.

I really enjoyed my afternoon at Amrita Garden as it is a truly peaceful and quiet place with a relaxed atmosphere. The service was friendly and helpful, the food was alright. I had the daily lunch set and it felt like the veggies had been sitting on the plate for quiet a while, the soup was reheated and a little tasteless. But maybe my expectations were a little too high considering the price, which was a bit above average. They also offer some take-away desserts (some of which are declared as vegan) like different sorts of brownies, which are superb and absolutely made up for the disappointment!
Overall it's probably the healthiest food in the most beautiful place you'll find in Chiang Mai.

Beautiful place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the busy city that Chiang Mai is. The food is simple and beautifully presented.

I just had the tempeh, which was good, though no sauce was provided which seemed a bit odd. The food seemed good, but definitely pricey with small portions (which is not atypical for a macro-oriented place).

Service was... well, it was some effort to get their attention, but in fairness they had a note about some of the family being on vacation.

I guess the place didn't really capture my heart the way it has others', but it is has a nice small garden, and I can imagine on the right evening, with the service a bit better, and one in the mood to spend a little, that it could be delightful!

Amrita Garden is a wonderful little establishment in the old city of Chiang Mai. Please note, it must be the only western style restaurant in Chiang Mai that is almost entirely vegan. I say almost, as they do offer some non vegan desserts, but they also offer vegan and even raw vegan desserts, so who can complain! All of their main dishes are entirely vegan and they really do offer something quite different from what you are normally offered around here. Try this place out you will not be disappointed it is one of the best newer establishments around.

Old Thai house with beautiful quaint restaurant below. Serves delicious salads and lunch specials also good. They now have Raw 100% vegan sugar free treats & chocolates. Try them all. Also 100% vegan carrot cake. Lovely owners and atmosphere. Closed Mondays...

kind of an adventure to find, but well worth the trip .. call ahead for directions if you can .. first of all, they make their own homemade kombucha which is excellent (make sure you ask for no ice) but the daily special changes everyday and is quite tasty, the vegan burger is fabulous and the traditional thai house setting is great .. the only grip i have about this place is though the staff is super friendly, the service can be a little hit and miss. overall make the journey, it is well worth it.

Very quiet atmosphere! It is very comfortable and I spent there about 2 hours... I ordered the Detox Lunch Set (99THB) which I really liked! It came with a small bowl of vegetable soup, a plate with mixed vegetables (steamed), rice balls wrapped in seaweed and mustard leaves and a papaya leaves tea. Everything was very light, clean and refreshing. Since I saw a tray with freshly baked vegan gluten-free muffins I had to try one! I ordered the banana muffin which was good, maybe a bit dry, but perfect with a tea or a coffee.

Really enjoyed being at this place; what a beutiful little restaurant.

Enjoyed the food but was a little surprised (and dissappointed) that the desserts are all dairy.

Amrita Garden is a beautiful place. It is nice just to come and spend a few hours there, reading a book or starting a conversation with people.
The food is accurate. What do I mean by that: you can see how much thought was invested in every serving. It is simple but detailed, wonderfully served and surprisingly filling.
The food itself is very interesting, has it's own agenda and does not surrender to trends or outside influence. This is one of the things I really appreciate about this modest serene place.
Try the Tempe.

We came here somehow thinking this was a vegan restaurant/café because on the sign it said vegan love and there was a lot of soy in the menu. So we tried the carrot cake and thai coffee, both was very good. The second time we came here we asked if all the cakes are vegan and found out that in fact none of then are, except the gluten free vegan muffins which were sold out. Turns out the Thai coffee last time was also not vegan, although when asked for it they will make it with soy milk, which is very tasty.
I don't know if assuming this was a pure vegan place was completely our fault...
Still, the atmosphere is amazing, the people here are very friendly and I all the vegan food and drinks we had was lovely!
