About Padmanadi - Calgary
Padmanadi's Calgary location opened on August 22, 2023, in the Haysboro neighbourhood at 8835 Macleod Trail SW, unit 110, as the third restaurant under a family name that began in Edmonton more than two decades earlier. The Edmonton original was founded by Kasim Kasim, who had worked in a family restaurant in Jakarta before immigrating to Canada at a time when, according to his daughter and current co-operator Maya Richmond, Edmonton had little or no Indonesian food on offer; after twelve years that single restaurant grew into a second Edmonton location, and Richmond herself now runs the Calgary branch. The Calgary restaurant seats about 60 people in a bright, modern dining room decorated with Indonesian memorabilia, and like its Edmonton counterparts it is entirely plant-based and follows Buddhist dietary practice, meaning onion and garlic are left out of dishes along with any meat, a stricter standard than vegan cooking alone would require. The menu draws on Indonesian staples such as nasi goreng fried rice alongside soy- and tofu-based reworkings of dishes more often associated with Chinese, Thai or Indian kitchens, including a soy-based ginger beef that reviewers repeatedly single out, plant-based kung pao chicken, deep-fried wontons and tom yum soup; sauces are made in house, and most dishes can be adapted to be gluten-free and dairy-free on request. At its opening, the restaurant gave the first 100 attendees a complimentary vegan tart. The Calgary location is open daily from 11:30am to 9pm and can be reached at 403-300-2270; both Padmanadi restaurants post updates through the shared Instagram account @padmanadi, and the Edmonton original was named to a Canada's Top 100 Places to Eat list in 2023. This listing gives Calgary its own entry alongside the existing Edmonton record in this directory's Canadian coverage, which has so far concentrated on Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton.
