• Varied Service

I visited Lily Burger twice and the first time was incredible. I split a burger with a friend (the portions are HUGE) and shared two deep fried vegan candy bars for dessert. They tasted incredible and if this was the only time I visited I would have definitely given it as close to a five star rating as happycow allows. However, the second time I came was with my family and I wanted to show them how delicious vegan food could be. This time it was the evening and we were seated inside rather than the lovely outside seating I had the first time. The music is kinda loud inside and the lighting is very dark and dingy, which is a shame because in the daylight the food looked as amazing as it tasted. We had an ambivalent waiter who basically told my mum what kind of meat she wanted. I remember him doing that to my friends the first night I visited. Friends wanted 'rare', he told them it's too undercooked and to go for 'medium rare' very matter-of-factly with no room to tell him that they definitely wanted what they wanted and my mum wanted 'well done' and again, he told her it's to chewy and to go for 'medium rare'. I know it's not exactly relevant to happycow but she was disappointed with the medium rare and wished she hadn't taken his advice. Personally I found it quite rude service. So anyway, I was eating the burger (again, it tasted amazing but wayyyy too much to eat for one person) and remembered to leave room for those amazing deep fried candy bars. Unfortunately, when it came to ordering dessert they were all out of them. And the deep fried vegan ice cream, which was disappointing. Instead I tried the cake which was horrible compared to the rest of the menu. I was very disappointed and upset that my family hated their burgers because they weren't cooked the way they wanted and they were all out of vegan ice cream and the five variety of vegan candy bars (what are the chances?). So overall, I'd make sure to sit outside, ask if they have the vegan candy bars before ordering anything, share a burger with a friend (unless you're a beast and think you can handle a whole one) and stay away from the blonde male waiter because he's awful.
