The Smile of the Beyond vegetarian diner will fill you
with great food and a smile

The Smile of the Beyond is a vegetarian diner opened in 1972. It is owned and operated by students of spiritual teacher, poet and philosopher Sri Chinmoy. He lived just half a mile away from the restaurant.

We hope you’ll stop by for breakfast, lunch or brunch. We’re all vegetarians ourselves, so we probably have a good idea of the kind of meal you’re looking for. We’d love the chance to welcome you with a smile and satisfy your hunger.
