Excellent vegan restaurant - Edit
We really enjoyed our meal at Anna Loka. The menu had plenty of choices, and all the food was really excellent - good quality, and presented well. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we recommend this restaurant to anyone living in or visiting Cardiff.

Cool place! - Edit
Sorry no photos 🤦🏼♀️
Read moreI had the veg and tofu parcels, and a Gingerella to drink.
B had the tofu and spinach curry with rice, and Karma Kola to drink.
Lovely food. On street parking. The toilet is right at the back of the cafe past the kitchen and long bar.

Amazing food! - Edit
My bf and I went to Cardiff for a week and this became the best restaurant we tried. The staff is super friendly and the food was just incredible.
Read moreWe had the dumplings as a starter and then my bf had the Peacemaker bow, and I the Arabian wrap with crispy tofu as a side. We enjoyed every bit of it. I would definitely recommend it!

Yum vegan food - Edit
We come here every year for a treat for my birthday. Can never resist the gherkin starter with amazing cheezy sauce (although look at the 2021 serving vs the 2023 serving of them in my pictures 🤔👎
Read moreThe bao buns were spectacular!
My main was the Buddha bowl. Yum! Partner went for the doner wrap which he really enjoyed. Glad they now have a liquor licence.
Def a place I’d recommend.

Brilliantly Tasty Food - Edit
We booked in advance for a group of 6 of us for lunch. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. I ordered the arancini starter, which was nice. Some ordered the crispy tofu which I tried and it was sooo good! I will definitely be ordering that next time. I then ordered the asian fusion tray as my main and this was delicious. For dessert I had the mango cake which was really good too. Overall a very good experience and brilliant food. Would return.

2 star hygiene rating - Edit
This place used to be my go to spot for vegan food growing up, since covid the management has changed resulting in a 2 STAR hygiene rating from 5 STAR - that alone is horrifying

Impressive! - Edit
I’m not from the area and didn’t make the reservation but what a great choice of restaurant!
Read moreI went for a big seitan burger which was delicious but the star of the show was definitely the crispy tofu in Peking sauce we ordered as a side. I’ll definitely go for the Asian set menu next time.
Service was a little slow but the staff were very friendly and we were in no rush so it wasn’t an issue.
Definitely on my list for a return visit.

First and best vegan in Cardiff - Edit
Really delicious food and some more interesting dishes than a lot of vegan places. One the pricer side but worth it.

Good but not mind-blowing - Edit
We shared a bunch of starters which ended up being a lot of deep fried stuff. Nonetheless, most tasted pretty good. The fried tofu in a sweet sauce was my favorite and the waffle for dessert which was loaded with yummy toppings. Not the most amazing food experience but not a bad one either.

Good food - Edit
The burger and mac and cheese here are really good. The burgers are quite hard to finish for me but still great. Non-vegans also tend to like it here so I think it’s good for everyone.

Not like it used to be - Edit
I visited Anna Loka a few years ago and the food was fantastic. It seems the ownership has changed hands. This time, it seems that the fried foods were fried in old oil. Leaves more to be desired for! I hope the owners take this as feedback for improvement.
Read morePros: Service, Decor, Nice staff
Cons: Food tastes okay at best

Not like it was - Edit
Been to Anna Loka’s many times and have noticed the decline but yesterday was very disappointing. We entered as the opened for the evening and the first things I saw was the lunchtimes tables had not been cleared and food was still on them ! The kitchen was a mess with clutter, packaging and paperwork all over. The whole place needed a good clean. My partner said the toilets were disgusting. We decided to stay never the less.
Read moreThe service was ok but definitely not worth the 10% service charge they automatically add to the bill. The food was again ok but nothing like the quality it used to be.
Half way through the meal the EHO entered and “ripped” into the owner because he had hidden the hygiene rating, we checked and it was a 2!!
Really sad to see one of the trailblazing vegan restaurants come to this. I hope the new owners (who aren’t vegan l) take note and get the place back to a quality establishment

Hit the spot - Edit
There was a bit of confusion about the hours as the website, Google and Facebook all said different! I rang up to make sure they were open - hours changing from next week!
Read moreWe got 20% off some items as it was an Easter special offer.
Between us we got the peacemaker bowl, the doner wrap, patatas bravas, the flame juice and Adonis smoothie to take away.
Quick service and enjoyable food.
