Tea Shrine - Alice Springs

Came here for lunch as I heard good things. I'm not a vegetarian but do enjoy the vegetarian/vegan cuisines.Bf ordered fried rice - very sad looking plate of moist rice with very little veggies. I ordered the Buddha bowl with the mock roast duck. Not that much protein in there, they could have been a bit more generous with the mock duck portions. But better than the fried rice. Also had a Korean iced tea - bad choice, it was just the Korean marmalade thing in water and ice for 4.50. Not worth it.Good thing is that they have the option to upgrade your dish to brown rice for 50c extra which we both did. For a local? Yeah this would be good to have. For a tourist? You can do better elsewhere. Nothing all that special here.

You don't have to be Vegan to eat here. It is delicious and food for the biggest carnivores. Most would never know they are eating vegan. Great people, big selection of tea and Asian tea sets. Enjoy.

Best place in Alice for good vegetarian lunch! Huge assortment of teas and delicious menu with fast service. Indoor and outdoor dining. Healthy

Absolutely love how delicious and mouth watering the Chai Sew Buns are and how sweet and refreshing the bubble tea is. 10/10 would visit again

Wonderful little place with great vegetarian, & vegan options. Soy chicken kebabs and vegan fish were both very delicious & we were very impressed by the bubble tea menu which includes soy/almond/Coconut milk substitution.
