One plate, two sizes

We cook one set plate and you pick moderate or full. A hot soup comes first, and the menu is changed and posted twice a day.

Bottomless tea

Tea and water are self-serve and free, so pour yourself as much as you like. The walls have Tibetan Buddhist art, and there's spiritual music playing.

Gluten-free pies

We have key lime, chocolate and coconut milk pie, all gluten-free with no sugar added. They contain nuts, and the key lime has a pressed crust.

Bringing a big group?

We take reservations, the food comes out fast, and everyone can pay for their own plate at the counter in back.

The food here is always yummy and flavorful. You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy it. I actually kind of like the set menu - takes away decision fatigue. The menu rotates but the plates have similar flavors/components each time. Meals always come with a hot soup as an appetizer, and bottomless free self-serve tea! A good spot for solo diners too - one of those places you can feel comfortable. I usually get the “full” plate so I get some leftovers to take home. Also like to treat myself to some…

Gluten-free and vegan! I had a delicious meal here for the first time recently and loved it! They had water and tea available for self-serve off to the side. I ordered the full plate and was served a flavorful lentil soup beforehand. A delightful portion! For desert I had the pleasure of enjoying their key lime pie. I love how they did the pressed crust! It’s exactly what a key lime pie should taste like; not for the underdeveloped tongue. I will definitely be coming back if I am ever in…

Whether you're into veganism or not, this place is amazing. They serve generous portions and absolutely everything is super tasty, from the soup to dessert. Their coconut pie is to die for, it has the perfect balance, rich and creamy but not too sweet. Their staff is super friendly and they'll accommodate your every need.

I love love love Shangri La! If you are looking for take out that is clean, nutritious, and tasty, this is the place! I don't know what kind of magic spices they are using, but every time I order a full meal to go, I am blown away by how well they prepare such simple food. My belly is always happy! The restaurants (there are 2) are always super clean, and the service is wonderful. They eleven have great pie! Check out Shangri La, you won't be disappointed!

Wanted to gatekeep this spot but it deserves so much love. Always a peaceful environment, love the rotating menu. I’ve been quite a few times and they never miss. I’m not vegan and genuinely crave their food sometimes. Super kind owners/employees. 10/10!
