The next time you’re hungry you can duck out of the fast-lane and eat food that’s good for the soul at Vajra at 711 Le Hong Phong in HCMC’s District 10. The name in Sanskrit means thunderbolts and diamonds.

The ground floor has books, CDs and vegetarian food, while the next two floors are for dining. The décor features red, white, and black, and yellow, all colors that have important symbolism in Tibet. The red color symbolizes wisdom, white - compassion, black - protection, and yellow for diligence.

On the first floor the walls and ceiling are decorated with paintings and pictures taken in Tibet, along with a Tibetan prayer wheel, conch, shell horn and drums.

There’s a variety of dishes to suit the tastes of foreigners and Vietnamese. When you sit down the waiter serves a traditional free cup of milk tea. There is also Wifi and Tibetan music.

The restaurant opens between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. everyday. Vegetarian dishes range from VND5,000 to VND40,000 each or hot pots from VNDVND50,000 to VND80,000. For example, some soups cost VND10,000 such as seaweed soup and mushroom soup. Some main courses such as steamed rice in lotus leaf are only VND40,000, sautéed dice beef and French-fries, cheese roasted mushroom, steamed tofu with ginger range between VND25,000 and VND35,000.  Soft drinks cost VND12,000 to VND35,000.
