Simply great

We loved this spot! A mix of various cuisines, from which my husband chose a moussaka with ayran, while I had baba ganoush and mango lassi. Really good portions and very satisfying meals. Thank you, Gaia!

Pros: Quick, Portion size, Taste

Tasty food in a cute place

I went there for the kebab sandwich and was not dissapointed at all, great food in a very reasonable place! The place seems very welcoming as well, since there was a rainbowflag painted on the wall, which I think is awesome. I totally recommend it!

Pros: Tasty food - seitan meat tasted very real, Nice outdoor seating, Friendly staff

Cons: Nope, can't complain

Schlechter Service, durchschnittliches Essen bei hohen Preisen

Wegen der guten Bewertungen bei Happy Cow haben wir die Gaia Kitchen fürs Abendessen gewählt. Leider eine enttäuschende Erfahrung.
Das Essen war aus unserer Sicht ok (Döner Kebab Teller und ein Auflauf), aber deutlich zu teuer für die kleine Menge und den nicht überzeugenden Geschmack. Der hausgemachte Eistee schmeckte nach fast nichts und wurde im Bierglas gereicht (für 5,80€).

Wir haben uns sehr unwohl gefühlt, da der Gästebereich recht dreckig war und der bedienende Inhaber nicht nur eine dreckige Schürze trug, sondern auch in der (offenen) Küche immer wieder am Handy war. Er war durchgängig sehr kurz angebunden und unfreundlich. Auf meine Rückmeldung reagierte er mit Gegenangriff, wurde ungehalten und laut. Immerhin hat er einen kleinen Preisnachlass gegeben.

Weird service, food ok but not brilliant

Even though it was almost empty, the staff were very dismissive towards me. Eg I was waiting for someone so didn’t order food yet but I said I would like to order sth to drink (meaning, as one would, from the menu). The guy sent me to my table and I thought he’d come to take my order but he handed me a glass of water and turned back without checking with me if i needed anything 🤷‍♀️ he would never come to the table so we had to call him to place the order, he tried to make the conversation as brisk as possible. We had spanakopita, a plate of pickles, babagsnoush el kurdi and sish barak. Of those, only spanakopita was really good. Babaganoush was very much like a tomato sauce with tahini, not even reduced properly, and sish barak was overcooked and partly disintegrated. To be honest, with all the fantastic vegan options in the area, I wouldn’t care to come back.

Amazing food and friendly staff

Such a variety of choices, it was like living back in Greece with the spanakopita.
I wish I lived closer, as this would be my regular… another reason to come back to Vienna.

Pros: Fresh flavourful food , Friendly staff, Outside seating

Must go place in Vienna

This restaurant is a total standout. I loved it even before stepping in, for writing "Go Vegan" on their street sign. The inside deco is sweet and powerful. And then.. the food!! I was in need of a comforting, warm, wholesome meal after indulging in too much Viennese vegan street food. I chose Sish Barak: tortellini with seitan filling in a creamy yoghurt sauce. Wow, it was incredible! I never had handmade tortellini in my life and it is out of this world delicious. Already feeling happy and relaxed, I could not skip dessert! I wenr for a sweet semolino Harisa Reweni, and loved that, too. Also, the owner or manager is so kind!

Absolute favee

Oh my goodness. I loved it here. It’s small but cosy and so beautifully decorated with the walls and ceilings all hand painted. Lots of pride flags around and the owner (sweetest man in the whole of Vienna) has won local hero awards for the activism he does. And then the food!! Sensational, so delicious. And the wine!! All local, all vegan, all recommended by the owner. It felt like going to an old friend’s for dinner. It was the best dining experience x

Pros: The owner , The food, The wine

Authentic tasty food

Loved all of it! The ambient was special, the food was amazing and something else in comparison to all the other vegan restaurants.

It is a bit more pricey but in my opinion justified.

Pros: Tasty food, Ambient

Best Seitan in Vienna

I’ve been going to this place regularly since it opened, and I love it. They’re constantly working on new recipes while delivering with reliable favorites. The seitan they make and use for their Döner is the best in Vienna. You won’t find better! Honestly, I also love their attention to detail. They plate the food beautifully. This year they had vegan “goose” which is traditional in Vienna in November, and it was truly excellent. The owner is incredibly friendly. I’m a regular and can’t recommend the place highly enough.

Pros: Best Seitan in Vienna, Constant improvements , Beautiful plating

Great, cosy and relaxing restaurant, OK with children

Gaia Kitchen is a great restaurant, quiet and on great location. We had no problems with our 3 years old daughter being a bit more noisy.
We recommend the bowl with seitand and excellent mango lassi.

Pros: Cozy, Good food, Quiet

Cons: Not enough vegetables-oriented food, The food was more in a fatty side

Great Find

Really exceptionally good meals. I already look forward to revisiting it on my next stay in Vienna. The people are extremely nice too, and a pleasant, cozy atmosphere. Baklava didn't quite compete with the best non-vegan I've had but was delicious nonetheless. Foul Lebanon is highly recommended, though I'm sure none of the dishes disappoint!

Good food

Lovely platters. I ate there twice. The first time especially, whe I had the Lebanon Foul, was wonderful.
I would, though, in general, go lighter on the carbs and include more vegetables, instead.
Still, delicious, nutritious and good value.

The young man working there Saturday evening, on my first visit, was exceptional: kind and generous, with excellent English. Now this is good service!

Good food but pricy

We came here for the first time and enjoyed some good vegan oriental food. We had the lentil soup and a falafel hummus plate with some bread. It was all very tasty :)
Only downside is that it's pretty pricy in my opinion. But still worth checking out and we will be back.

Pros: All vegan, Tasty

Cons: Expensive , Staff was not really friendly

Great Food with Large Portions

I really enjoyed the food and the portions were a bit large for my appetite, but the location is a bit out of the way for tourists (worth the trip). It is a bit expensive, but that may just be a sign of the times. I would eat here again.

Pros: Very flavorful food, Generous portions

Cons: A bit expensive, A bit far (for tourists)

Veganer Imbiss in Prater Nähe

Wir hatten einen Döner und eine Linsensuppe. Das Brot wird selbst gebacken und ist recht lecker, was mich sehr gefreut hat, sehe ich nur noch selten. Die Linsensuppe war geschmacklich sehr gut, der Döner hat mir aber leider nur mittelmäßig geschmeckt, ich fand den Fleischersatz auch etwas komisch. Aber für einen schnellen Snack total okay, Inhaber war auch freundlich😄

Pros: Brot wird selbst gebacken , Linsensuppe sehr lecker , Freundlich

Yummy, friendly

Happy owner/waiter - and friendly. Good food. I couldn’t eat it all, because the portion-size was large (nothing else amiss). About €45 for two people = ok for us.

Pros: Just nice

Cons: Nothing bad

Not good food

The food was really not good. The humus was fade, the taboulé and dressing seemed industrial. It was very disappointing

Pros: The kimchi was good
