I came to Plumeria on the 101 on Christmas evening with three friends, and am still in shock it has taken me this long to visit! Plumeria is beautifully decorated, and has a very tranquil feel upon walking in from the busy 101. They also have a wonderful outdoor section if you do want to dine outside. The menu was fantastic, we took ages to decide on what we all wanted as there were SO many great options. I ended up choosing the jackfruit pumpkin curry, and a week later I still can’t stop thinking about how delicious this was! My friends all loved their meals, and we all were so impressed with how fresh and high quality the food was. Pricing was extremely fair for the quality and area. Service was excellent, it was very busy on Christmas evening with many people dining in and many people with takeaway orders, and the staff did not miss a beat. Staff were all friendly, explained the menu clearly, and the food all came out in great timing. After having walked past this place so many times, I can now honestly say it is one of my new Encinitas favorites, and I absolutely cannot wait to be back! If you having been or are considering a stop in, I cannot recommend a visit enough!

I am not a vegetarian, I eat meat. This place is VERY good. I got the panang curry and the wife got the Tom Kah. Curry was super flavorful, rice was cooked really well and the spice was just enough to feel but not enough to stick around. Tom Kah was also very good, I don't usually like Tom Kah but the lemongrass flavor was actually perfectly mixed with coconut broth to be just right. Will come back!

What a wonderful lunch spot! We sat outside and received pleasant, prompt service. What a delight that two vegetarians, a vegan and a celiac could share entrees! Everything was gluten free and delicious. Recommend: Tangerine ‘Chicken’ Vegetable Fried rice with crispy tofu Pumpkin Curry with jackfruit
