Potala Organic Cafe

A great place to get healthy vegan dishes. Small, medium or large and received a variety of homemade delicious meals made from the heart! Great staff!

They have 2 meal options. Regular (rice+entrees+soup combo plate that comes in large and medium sizes) and simple, which means cooked with no oil or seasonings. Organic, vegan, and still impressively delicious! Unique experience worth a try.

Shockingly Poor Service and OK Vegan Food. Zero stars for the service and 1.5 starts for the food. I am a strict vegetarian, and I found the food to be so unsatisfying that I had to go home afterward make a decent meal. The server had an accent so thick that I literally could not understand what they were saying.

We met with friends at this restaurant for lunch. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, we were not disappointed. the staff members were so friendly and we felt very good. The meal was delicious. We had a great time and we will visit this place again. We recommend this place to all.

Unique and delicious dining experience.

Didn't know what to expect, but the simplicity and quality is what makes this place stand out. Each of the "side dishes" that make up the main lunch item could be their own separate price point -- and I would've paid for them each. I'll be going back again, then again after that.

Each item on the plate has it's own delicate flavor and/or gravy. The items may vary but usually there will be a green salad, a green cooked vegetable, a rice, beans or lentils and another mixed vegetable. Once there was a creamy mushroom sauce which was especially delicious. The generous bowl of soup is so good and nourishing and it, and a mug of tea comes with the meal. While you are eating you know you're doing a good thing for yourself. We will be back often!

The best organic, vegan, cozy, home cooked meal in the East Bay. No long menus, simple choice of plate size and you're good to go.

Only one item on the menu. Technically they change it each day but in my seven visits (My friends take often) I have never been able to tell the difference. If you like their one dish, then great; if not....

Delicious vegan food. We visited with our whole family including children (mind you, they can be picky) and everyone enjoyed the whole meal. We liked the cozy, quiet and calm atmosphere. The kindness of the servers did not go unnoticed. Thank you!!!

Nice meal with lot's of food, you think it's small but it's not...

Easy, great tasting good for you food. Only one choice, medium or large. My prefix meal came with soup, beans, rice, salad, collard greens, and pumpkin. Tea, and water were free, but self-service. Tasty wholesome and filling.

Such a relaxing experience! The food is absolutely delicious and healthful. The twig tea warms the soul. I love places that specialize in one amazing thing and serve it. The medium plate is plenty unless you actually want leftovers choose large and remember to bring your own tupperware! The owners are wonderful and welcoming. A great place to eat well and healthfully at the same time. Exotic flavors will keep you coming back for more!

A friend and I ate an early lunch a couple of weeks ago at Potala and were very delighted. Delicious, fresh and wholesome foods presented in a large plate or medium plate selection, also with other foods you could buy separately. Our medium plates were satisfying and filling. Brown Rice, beans, kale, salad, and chopped vegetables with sauces and a dressing for the salad were delicious. Tea was delicious. We could talk easily and really enjoy our lunch.

Very delicious food! Great atmosphere!
