My first trip to Vietnam earlier this year opened my eyes to the variety of delicious vegan food options available beyond the typical pho, bun, and banh mi dishes commonly found in Australian Vietnamese restaurants. When Karuna Vegie House opened in Canberra, I was thrilled to find a place where I could enjoy some of those amazing dishes. I highly recommend their crispy tofu, crispy pancake, and soups. The food is tasty and reasonably priced. The restaurant is run by residents of the Lyneham Buddhist Centre and has a beautiful setting that makes you feel like you're far from Canberra. My only complaint is that they are currently only open on Friday and Saturday nights, but hopefully that cha...
We had a wonderful experience at Karuna. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. To get to the restaurant, take a right at the street corner. It was a bit confusing, but we made it there and enjoyed walking through the gardens. The food was amazing and we left feeling full and satisfied. I highly recommend the soy salad. I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh pineapple, it was delicious. Make sure to make a reservation as they turn away walk-ins. It was great to see that they were so busy!
This vegan restaurant sits behind the emerging massive Vietnamese pagoda/temple complex. It's a bit daunting to walk down the long long driveway and to wend your way through very private footpaths. But then this restaurant emerges like a beacon. The food is vegan and the drinks are pretty basic. The menu is basic and simple, yet very tasty and filling. I recommend visiting this hidden gem. I also recommend the restaurant serve kombucha or other fermented drinks as their fizzy drink offerings are a let down.
This hidden restaurant provides a great atmosphere and tasty vegan dishes. The drink options are a bit limited, but you can bring your own. The service may be a bit unpredictable when it comes to ordering, but it doesn't affect the overall experience.

If you're a fan of vegan food, you will absolutely adore this charming little restaurant. The food is fantastic and the service is friendly. A definite must-try if you're looking for something unique.
Nice small restaurant with a small menu. Some mock meat, some dishes without though. Desserts are very nice. Service was quick and friendly. And it is very cheap. Will definitely be back.
If you're searching for delicious vegan cuisine at affordable prices, look no further than this restaurant run by volunteers. Plus, all proceeds go towards building the temple.
large atmosphere, on the back of the tempel. the eating is cheap and very filling (warned only because it cheap does not mean that the portions are small are very tasty.
