Nice small vegetarian place with loads of vegan options

We went to this place with 3 persons. The menu is all vegetarian and most of it is even vegan. The three of us shared some plates. We had the Jackfruit burger, the CHKN burger and the Kapsalon. It was all very nice.
Nice and friendly staff too.

Every bite (and sip!) was tasty

We had the California Falafel and the Vegan Shawarma, along with the very fun Sun-Kissed non-alcoholic cocktail. What's so nice about vegetarian shawarma is that every bite is a good one. You don't get any gross fatty pieces or hard pieces of unknown origin. The portion of avocado on the California falafel was generous, but then again, the price reflects that. For extra freshness and texture, I put the tomatoes and most of the lettuce from the small side salad into the pita bread. The non-alcoholic cocktail was full of flavor from the pineapple and lime juices. It tasted (and looked) like a real cocktail, not just a fancy orange juice. A real festive treat for those who cannot or choose not to drink alcohol.

Great food, location and friendly staff

The staff were really friendly and helpful - happy to take time to translate bits of the menu for us despite being busy. Have the falafel - it’s one of the best we’ve had. Also the kapsalon fries. The vegan cheesecakes were gorgeous - they had a choice of 3. Lovely location overlooking main square

Best Vegan/Vegetarian spot in Leiden

I loved this place. It's a great place to hang out with a group, and you don't feel limited by the menu (whatever your diet is). It's also such a nice vibe. The prices are great for what you receive, but I wouldnt go there if I'm on a strict budget. It's too good!

Pros: The menu was vegetarian and at least half vegan!, The staff were super nice, helpful, and knowledgea, Great Drinks ;)

Tasty

A very nice restaurant. The staff is super friendly and know what they’re doing. Food is very tasty. Many drinks and cocktails to choose from (about 4 pages in the menu).

I had one of the vegan pita’s and my friend had a vegetarian dish. Both delicious.

And close to central station!

Delicious and huge portions!

We went in thinking it would be another overpriced “hip” restaurant, but we were pleasantly surprised! Yes, the food is instaproof, but it also tasted delicious. We ordered a borrelplank to share and a side of nachos. It was plenty, we couldn’t finish although we wanted to - everything tasted great and was original. Staff was also friendly and the location is great. Prices are fair for what you get. Will definitely come here again to try all the other yummy food.

Pros: Good price, Great taste, Amazing location

Decent place with vegan options

Nice place with quite a lot of vegan options. I would eat here more often if the food wasn't so expensive and the place would expand their opening hours. I ordered food at home a couple of times but this was always very disappointing. Only the burger came over without any damage to its taste.

Pros: Good location, Nice food, Different vegan options

Cons: Very limited opening hours, Expensive, Food tastes not as good when delivered

Tasty and colourful

Lots of standard veggie fare, e.g. pulled jackfruit, vegan burger, falafel and halloumi. We went for the pitas instead, with some very nice middle-eastern/levantine flavours. Big portions and just really well made. Also, I don't normally like shrimps, but the vegan versions served up here (made of tofu?) are great!

Mijn bekeerplek voor omnivoren

Dit eten is zo heerlijk gemaakt, hier geniet iedereen van! Een hippe plek met heerlijke burgers, grote schalen nachos of lekkere kapsalon. Vroeger hadden ze ook zeewiersnacks en buddha bowls. Ik hoop dat die terugkomen na de pandemie, maar ook met de opties die ze nu hebben zijn ze top!

Good food in a good location

We ordered three different dishes and they were all very good. In the summer you can sit outside, which makes it a nice experience.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, outside terrace

Cons: Not the cheapest streetfood; the price is still ok

Nice place

I was at Aloha with a friend yesterday to have some dinner. The food is delicious and not very expensive (about €12 per dish). Unfortunately one of the staff members wasn’t that nice, to be honest. When we asked some questions about coffees she kind of gave the feeling like she didn’t want to help us and reacted a bit strange. However, we still had a great time!

Pros: Delicious food , Many vegan options , Not too expensive

Cons: Not all staff was very friendly

It's ok but a bit too expensive for what you get.

I did like their take on the kapsalon, was more healthy with lots of salad. Overall it didn't taste very wow though and for what we got I did feel like it was too pricey. In general I do think it is a nice place to try if you're in Leiden though. I liked the atmosphere there and the cocktails were great.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Tasty cocktails

Cons: Too expensive for what you get

Happy Aloha is here in Leiden

Have eaten here multiple times already.
Half of the menu is vegan. The snack section does not disappoint and we (husband and me) love to pair some of them with a beer or mocktail.
The Aloha burger is made from beets (I think) but kinda tastes like raw meatloaf. So not my favourite. I do love the vegan kapsalon. It's a vegan version of a snack that is mostly eaten when late+drunk. So it is supposed to look messy and they have done a good job :)
Staff is really nice, but I'd prefer a more pro-active attitude towards the empty glassess....

Pros: Good snacks, Variety to choose from as vegan, You can sit outside in summer

Cons: Tastes too much like meat burger

Underwhelmed

Checked out reviews and was really looking forward to some vegan street food in a nice location. What we got was tasteless overpriced generic food that was a far away from street food as you could get. The staff were friendly and accommodating but I feel the staff were let down by the mediocre food they had to serve

Would only recommend for maybe a drink/cocktail and maybe a snack to share like the nachos but would not recommend as a meal choice, menu states main course with an amazing side dish, however the side dish is at an extra cost.

Meal of 1 starter and a falafel wrap and a mezzo bowl with two alcohol free lagers came to nearly 50 euros, most expensive street food which was tasteless.

Not for me

Pros: Nice staff, Good location , Nice atmosphere

Cons: Underwhelming , Rather tasteless , Expensive for small portions

Great new addition

We had the Kapsalon and the Aloha burger. Great food, nice sized portions and friendly atmosphere. I’ll be there again on my next trip that would bring me to Leiden!
