Very interesting restaurant..!! it was my first time to have meat substitues... I came here with my friends who are vegetarian .. So, i joined them to have lunch together ... I was surprise.. the food was delicious.. i had the chicken claypot and buttered prawn.. Highly recommended..

I had a noodle vegetable dish that was refreshing and had great flavours. Nice coffee and tea here too. Comforting, relaxed environment. Quality cuisine and special dietary needs catered for. Polite and helpful staff. Some organic, fair-trade engredients used. I enjoyed the food and experience.

I went to this restaurant yesterday and the food was delicious. The sweet and sour pork is the best, I think it is even better than those real dish. I will definitely go back to them... I love it!!!

It is such a novelty to have an entire Chinese menu to choose from but everything on it is vegetarian! Attended with meat-eaters who were probably always going to be more critical than me. But the overall group consensus was that the sesame prawns for entree were awesome, sweet & sour pork, lemon chicken and beef & black bean classics were good, the plum sauce dark was frighteningly meat-like and the fried rice was excellent. Will definitely be back for great food and service, but most of all - for the all you can eat vegetarian in all those meat-eater Chinese favorite dishes!!

Expensive for chinese food but definitely makes for a special night out. The food is always a win and the staff are lovely to a T. Although last time we were there the manager was yelling angrily at the staff in mandarin, which was a little awkward. Still an excellent, classy restaurant.

stingy for rice refill, vegan cooking with using lots of mock meat and the way of cooking vegetarian food too meaty style...
environment is still alright and food can be said is quite nice.. can be said the one of the best vegetarian food in melbourne

Enlightened does eat-in or take-away. The restaurant is clean and has a lovely ambiance. There is a good choice of food, I am particularly fond of their soups which are delicious and plentiful servings too!

Approximate cost: $10-15

becoming a vegetarian at age 9 in a family of meat eaters meant that going out for Chinese food was always disappointing. The family would have 4 dishes to choose between and they'd be going crazy. I'd have one lame 1/2 baked attempt at a veg friendly dish.
So going here was so fantastic - i went with my partner & the in-laws and we all loved it. It was the first time being able to share dishes which doesn't sound like much but its a huge deal to me. The food was sensational, flavour, style, substance. It has it all!
Great service too.

The food at enlightened cuisine is tops. Their ability to cook mock meat is superb. All the food is fresh, hot & reasonably priced. I always opt for the banquet meals but I make sure that there is a sweet and sour "pork" involved. This place is great.

Approximate cost: $12.00

Some very good meals - the mock satay chicken is exceptional, but other meals can be a little hit and miss. Once you find a good dish (which isn't too hard!) stick to it and you'll come back for more!
