I am not vegetarian but still decided to give this place a go. We had the linguine and the tofu kebabs which were absolutely delightful! Can't wait to go back there. On the down side, we went there for lunch and ended up being the only customers. Apparently they are always fully booked in evenings

Staying on Lygon streeet we were able to step out the door of our accommodation into a cornucopia of great eating places but this restaurant (about 300m from where we were staying) is worth a visit even if you are not a veterinarian. In addition the restaurant is currently directly across the road from a Melbourne cake legend Brunettis so... More

Really nice vegetarian restaurant. Fine dining veggie style! Had a delicious Indian curry and a lovely shiraz from the wine list. Great service too!

Have been here a number of times and have always been impressed by the quality of the food, and range of interesting flavours. I love the deep fried avocado (when I usually despise cooked avocado), as well as the many different options on the semi-regularly changing menu. Service is attentive and friendly, and they seem open to making variations where... More

As a vegan I was delighted to find Shakahari, it's so unusual at a restaurant to be able to order many dishes from the menu.

For main meal, we shared....not really set up for... More

Only issues are: serving size - they are on the small side; and value - a bit pricey for size of dish. Staff can be 'funny' sometimes too, which tends to give... More

Nice dumplings, and curries- tasty curries. Had to keep trying to grab waitresses attention as she kept forgetting to bring water, drinks. Food was very nice though - as nice vegetarian we have been to in Melbourne.

Great vegetarian food with a diverse menu. Tasty and pretty quick service - just what you need when you have just been at the MCG watching your team win another Grand Final. A great day all round.
