The most amazing meals I've had in a long time!! The flavours were not overpowering but made the dishes really exciting.Best vegan restaurant we've been to in ages. Will have to come from Sydney again!!Service and atmosphere is great!!

Lotus Heart is our long time favourite and unquestionably best Vegan restaurant in the city. They only serve dinner Friday and Saturday evening and recommend to make a booking. There is a set a la carts menu, but I really recommend to try the special of the day. We have been there so many times but each time chef’s special is different and always amazing. Food is true art on the plate and overall amazing experience. I don’t know how they do it , but every time they can surprise. They do not serve alcohol but there are few alcohol free wine and beer options. It’s one of the most expensive restaurants in town, so only go there for special occasions.

Went here on a Friday for dinner. The restaurant is aesthetically designed and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was serene, thanks to the theme.The menu had interesting vegetarian/vegan dishes from different cuisines (mainly Indian). Staff were very courteous. Rarely have I seen a restaurant that went all out to ensure that customers were happy with the dishes served. When one of the customers was not satisfied with the dish, the chef from the kitchen personally came to the table and enquired about the problem. They even offered to not charge for the dish. Had nachos and found it to be really good.They also have a shop adjacent to the restaurant within their premises. Highly recommended if you are into vegetarian/vegan food!

A very pathetic experience.1. In no way close to Indian food, just inspired in the incomplete ways!2. Anti-Pesto Platter was very average, the only good thing about it was the dipping sauce.3. Plant Sausage pizza was an entire joke. No sauce on the base, meagre cheese, hard and dry dough base (though they claim it is fresh).I have had really amazing food in Christchurch at different places and can surely say it is just the ambience of this restaurant impressing people!

The Lotus heart was fantastic. I had some of the freshest most delicious food I’ve ever had. The service was fantastic as well. We were made to feel extremely welcome and everyone was extremely polite. The atmosphere inside was wonderful to absorb. Thanks again.

I’m very sad to put one star because I love the place, everything is beautiful and I had buy things on the mini market and instrument stores. But this weekend me and my boyfriend wanted to try the food so we stayed at the restaurant and we ordered a pizza and two drinks, we waited a lot but the menu said we have to allow at least 20 minutes because they do the pizza fresh, awesome ! But after one hour waiting we asked the waitress for the pizza and he said he never heard us ask for that pizza, that was so awkward and strange because was the first thing that we ordered and he repeat the order and mentioned the pizza and the two drinks. They offered to make us the pizza but we were already upset and we didn’t want to wait more :((Was a beautiful start but left feeling so sad and hungry.

Always love visiting here when on holiday from Dunedin. The widest variety of vegan and gluten free food which is the yummiest! Uniquely wonderful food pairings, amazingly friendly vibes, great atmosphere and just a general calming ambience. I also love shopping at the stores adjoining.. so many things on offer! Slightly steep price-wise, but worth it because they offer such a range and variety of imported stuff under one roof.

Amazing food, amazing ambience.Must recommended for vegetarians and vegans.The people serving will also speak very quietly which actually shows the core Indian values. You can also do shopping there as they have some products which are quite good. We got Mysore sandalwood which is really good you can try that if you are going there.
