Potala Organic Café - Albany

Great food! I had the Jackfruit Burger and it was amazing This place is definitely worth a visit if you are looking for great food that is also based on plants.

As a bona fide meat eater I was skeptical. I was happily proven wrong. The veggie wrap was delicious. It was well seasoned and and everything worked well. The slaw was incredibly creamy and the Dijon mustard was a great touch. The Buffalo Cauliflower was amazing. The wait was indicative of the popularity the restaurant but we were still seated quickly. For parties of 6 or more they add gratuity but the service was fantastic so it was not a big deal.

A vegan type restaurant with some interesting dishes, it's something different and worth a try.

I have a dairy allergy, so it's rare for me to be able to fully relax at a restaurant. So a vegan restaurant, which is guaranteed to be free of dairy, is like a safe haven for me. It doesn't hurt that the food here is always good, and I don't ever find myself missing meat. (For other people who, like me, aren't always vegan, I would recommend steering away from the omelettes while tasty, the texture is a bit off). My favorite meal is brunch, since that's usually such a dairy heavy meal that I don't get to have brunch out very often.

100% would go again! I actually wish I lived there lol.. planning on going back for a brunch double date!
