Food was tasteless, juice was good - Edit
Love the concept of the store (low tables, no shoes). We ordered a mango juice and mango banana lassi and it was delicious.
Read moreWe ordered the tofu teriyaki and tofu/chickpea curry and it was bland and tasteless. I even found a strand of hair in my rice - which look, isn’t great but accidents happen. Still tasteless though, so can’t really recommend.
Pros: Tasty juices
Cons: Bland food

Such a nice lunch! - Edit
I love the vibe here, you take your shoes off and sit on cushions with tables low to the ground. I had a juice that was nice and large and delicious and the curry to eat. The food was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Loved the music and calming atmosphere. Would recommend!

Interesting menu - Edit
Hippy venue with the only seating being cushions on the floor. Ordered the gopal sandwich which was huge and full of flavour, although it was very garlicky. Pet friendly.

Beautiful music and tasty food - Edit
I had a super delicious lentil soup there. The atmosphere created by the music is beautiful. Also the place has mandalas to draw out. Really appreciated the place.

"Leave Your Expectations at the Door" - Edit
There are signs all over instructing you not to have any expectations of them, and you come to see why. You are not greeted or welcomed. Food is hit or miss. New Prasada main arrives in a massive bowl that is 1/8 full. Huge drinks are hugely overrated. Appreciate many gluten-free items. I used to love the originality and low seating and still love the woman who works there, but the old man in the back is a hot mess of anger, and that is going directly into your food in a place promising "love and light." I ordered three vegan Snickers to go from him, saying three times in both English and Spanish that I wanted the original, regular, caramel Snickers and not the choco fudge (which they shouldn't make at all because 1. Snickers contains caramel not hot fudge and 2. They mix them up with abandon). I go home the next day only to find two of three are dead wrong. I hike all the way back because I was sparklingly clear, and these things are about $4 U.S. each. Instead of apologizing, making things right, he starts yelling, and I mean YELLING, that they are flattened (in my backpack; already had been bitten into and were only brought to show incorrect filling). He starts pointing his finger at me screaming that he doesn't care what I paid for, he was only going to give me "ONE, ONE!" in English so loud in a fashion that can only be described as berserk-o. Just Nutcase City. When I said I expected to receive what I clearly asked and paid for in full measure when he was at fault, he let loose a torrent of vitriol and practically threw (ONE) Snickers back at me. This place also is selling disgusting vape pens and products at a purportedly "healthy" establishment. Cusco/San Blas is swimming in vegan gourmet food; don't go out of your way and really attempt to totally steer clear of this energy.

Go somewhere else - Edit
As other reviews stated. Food is meh- edible, but missing the mark, especially when compared to other places in town. It’s expensive for what they serve and the service itself is quite off putting. We didn’t feel welcomed, we were ignored for a while before I managed to flag down the guy to put our order in, and I heard other groups whispering about how uncomfortable the ambiance is. They didn’t feel like they could use their normal tones. I guess the restaurant feels more like a holistic massage parlor than a place to share a meal.

The best - Edit
We had a great surprise at the the Vegan Temple. The food and service were absolutely amazing. We felt like it was the most delicious food we've ever had. They have a vast menu and a dessert of the day, the day we went there it was a delicious cashew nuts and blueberries cheesecake.

Excellent food and juices/shakes - Edit
We went for lunch. Very relaxed vibes, shoes off and sitting on the floor with low tables.
Read moreFood was cooked fresh, ordered the tacu tacu which was very good. My partner ordered a sandwich which was on great bread, and he really enjoyed it.
We also ordered a juice and smoothie - both were fresh and very very tasty.
If you’re lucky, a cat and a kitten might make an appearance. Board games available.

Good vegan food - Edit
Fully vegan restaurant in Cusco that has a retreat feel to it. Tables are low to the ground so you’ll have to sit on pillows.
Read moreCompletely vegan menu with reasonable prices.
There aren’t too many tables so be prepared to share the table with other people.
Owner wasn’t too welcoming but there are cats that love to cuddle up with you (if you’re lucky).
Food was god but nothing special. Service is a bit slow because everything is prepared fresh.

Delicious! - Edit
Gorgeous little place with super friendly staff. The food was amazing - I had lentil and tofu burger and my fella had dahl. Both absolutely delicious! There seemed to be a couple of resident kittens, which liked to snuggle up with us so this place is great if you're a cat fan!

Would die for their vegan snickers! - Edit
I have been Here three times and always really enjoyed it. I love their ideas with the mandalas and almost sitting on the ground. It makes a very comfy atmosphere. The food I definitely loved the most are their vegan snickers and the sandwiches too! They even have little kittens playing around.

Local MUITO sujo! Passamos mal depois de comer no The Vegan Temple by Prasada
Read moreAlém gatos e cachorro (molhado e se coçando de pulgas sem parar) andando pela cozinha. Sim! Os animais passeiam na cozinha em cima de tudo.
Eu não sei se existe vigilância sanitária em Cusco. Acredito que não deva existir. Pois, esse lugar é muito fora das normas.
É cheio de pernilongos que picaram nossas pernas e braços.
Pedem para tirarmos os sapatos na entrada. Mas, os funcionários chegam da rua, com sapatos sujos e entram na cozinha.
Péssimo atendimento! Ninguém vem te atender e quando atendem apenas pegam o pedido e somem. Entregam os pratos e somem novamente.
Não se importam se a comida está boa e gostamos do serviço.
Comida ruim, totalmente sem sal, sem tempero e sem gosto.
Sentimento de arrependimento por não ter saído assim que entrei.
Preço MUITO caro.
Pros: S.O.S vigilância sanitária 🤢, Animais sujos andando pela cozinha 🕸️, Cheio de pernilongos 🦟
Cons: MUITO Sujo 🤢, Péssimo atendimento , Comida ruim. Passamos mal depois 🤮

Nourishing and Delicious - Edit
Phenomenally nourishing vegan food and atmosphere. Really amazingly tasty food, great ingredients and freshly made at the time of ordering. I had the Coconut Red curry and it was delicious, a big portion and very reasonably priced. Owner was very friendly and I loved sitting at the low tables with the peaceful vibrations of the place. Heading there again today. Simple, unassuming, peaceful and wholesome.

Fresh greens, too much oil - Edit
Sign says to leave your shoes outside. Two menus on each table - one in Spanish, one in English. You pretty much seat yourself and wait for someone to come. I didn't find that very welcoming...sitting, waiting, not really knowing what to do next. A bit more greeting and instruction would have better. Space is quaint and tranquil, but be prepared to sit on low cushions. Thankfully, my long legs fit under the low table, but my friend's did not. I purposely chose a sit against the wall, or I think I would have been very uncomfortable. You could hear the food being freshly prepared. I ordered the Green Bowl and Super Vegan lentil burger. The salad portion is large, filling, and definitely enough on its own. I took my burger "To-Go" (they dont use containers, but the host will put your food in a brown bag for you). The salad greens were incredibly fresh and tasty, but too much olive oil ruined it for me (maybe i missed on the menu where it included olive oil?). The burger came with a few small potatoes, but again, too much oil. The burger had a nice, unique presentation. My friend ordered Tacu Tacu, which was delicious, but the side patty was fried too hard (he didn't eat it). Overall, more communication from the host (and less oil in the dishes) would have increased the rating.
Read morePros: Ambience, Fresh ingredients , Many, many juice/beverage choices
Cons: Minimal communication felt unwelcoming, Too much oil in dishes, Nothing special in taste

Peaceful vegan oasis - Edit
This place is a jewel! It was my favorite place to eat in Cusco. It feels like you are at a spiritual retreat. Peaceful energy, welcoming, delicious food, kind owner.

My only regret is that I only went to it on my last day, otherwise I would have gone back many times!
