What customers say?

“ The Cardamom Pod is a charming little café type restaurant with great vibes and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The place was fairly clean, cozy, and had that homely feel you instantly connect with. I was served by Frank, who was an absolute delight , soft-spoken & friendly. I ordered the medium meal which includes 3 sides plus rice. I chose Basmati rice, veg curry, kofta with red chutney, and Lasagna (recommended by Frank).And wow ,the Lasagna was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had! All the other dishes were delicious too, though I couldn’t finish everything and ended up taking some home. The portion size was generous, and at $20, the price felt very fair. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in Byron Bay! ”

“ I’m not vegan, but the food here is incredibly tasty! I ordered the 3-choice plate with curry, kafta balls, rice, and avocado salad, and everything was delicious. My teacher recommended this place to me, and I’m so glad I took her advice. Highly recommended! ”

“ The Cardamom Pod – A Hidden Gem for Vegetarian Food in Byron Bay The Cardamom Pod in Byron Bay is a great place to have vegan and vegetarian dishes in Byron Bay. I’m not entirely sure, but the soft Hare Krishna music playing in the background makes me feel like the restaurant has some connection to ISKCON. The food itself reminds me of the sattvik food served at the temples. We ended up eating there two days in a row. After spending long hours under the sun and in the sea, we craved something light yet satisfying, and The Cardamom Pod delivered exactly that. Their menu offers a variety of wholesome vegan dishes. The prices are reasonable for the quality and portion. While I didn’t enjoy the samosa and found the broccoli curry a bit overwhelming due to excessive turmeric, the lentil dal and simple tomato and veggie curry were our absolute favorites on both days. Lasagna we had was another average dish. The slice of cake (not vegan) we tried was excellent. If you’re in Byron Bay and looking for vegetarian food that’s both light and fulfilling, The Cardamom Pod is definitely worth a visit. ”
