A delicious Vegan meal to feed our starving bellies

It is not easy to get a vegan dinner in Sevilla we have found. So Mediterranean is often suggested. We came here and sat inside to be out of the heat. We were starving as we had not eaten since breakfast and our eyes were bigger than our bellies.
Contrary to what someone wrote below the pita bread was unbelievably fluffy and while they don't have the hummus marked properly, it is Vegan.
We got the rice, kibbi vegano (veg. Croquettes), falafel, and Parrillada de verduras (charcoal grilled vegetables). We laughed at the fact that the grilled vegetables said twice on the menu that it had fries and it came with none but at that point we were already so full that we didn't even ask .

Worth it for a snack

My husband and I weren't hungry for a full meal, but knew we needed something to hold us over until dinner. This place was perfect in that respect. Clearly marked vegan options on the menu, mostly in appetizer portions. Unfortunately, their hummus isn't vegan (we asked what they put in it that makes it not vegan, but the server didn't seem to know).

We had the baba ganoush, the vegan kibbi w/ Muhamara, and then once we tasted the Muhamara on the kibbi plate we ordered an appetizer portion of that (Muhamara was a new discovery for us, and we'll be seeking it out at more places in the future!) Everything was delicious, although the pita bread wasn't as soft/fluffy as we had hoped/expected.

Worth your time for a snack/small meal.

Pros: Clearly marked vegan items, Delicious appetizers, Friendly staff

Cons: Not a huge selection if you want a full vegan meal

Didn't know what was vegan - was served cheese and yoghurt

Explicitly ordered only vegan items but was given cheese, yoghurt, etc as the waiter genuinely didn't know the difference between vegan and vegetarian. They rectified with replacement dishes but made ordering very challenging and weren't apologetic in the slightest.

The food we did have was fine but portion sizes were small for the price, small falafel balls too. Nice outdoor seating in the sun though.

Pros: Central, Nice dips

Cons: Small portions, Expensive , Didn't know what was vegan

Great food

Their vegan dips were delicious but I cannot recommend their tabbouleh highly enough. Beautiful and fresh!

It deserves 5 stars for sure

Excellent food! Absolutely loved the vegan sampler. Had some fries too. Really amazing. The falafel, the croquettes. We basically ate everything that was vegan on the menu. And then went back the next day for lunch. I could not recommend it more.

Incontournable à Séville

Délicieuse offre vegane à Séville ! Plutôt déçus jusqu'à présent par les options veganes de la ville nous avons fini par découvrir ce sympathique restaurant. La nourriture est excellente, le personnel sympa, la décoration intérieure vaut aussi le détour. Que demander de plus ?

Pros: Beaucoup d'options veganes, Serveurs très sympas , Délicieux

A journey to the orient, fine spicy food, pleasant service

In the middle of the food mile, pleasant outdoors, little choice for vegans, but what is there tastes very good and is real Arabic.
The portions are rather small, but the falafel and the arroz blanco con frutos taste very good.

Ok, nothing amazing

It's an OK option if you are in that part of town. There are a few vegetarian and vegan options, mainly as starters, and the quality of the food is ok, nothing exceptional. Tourists are the target, that's obvious, and there's nothing wrong woth that, of course. Prices are also OK.

Just snacks for vegans

Beautiful decoration and excellent service, but lack on vegan dishes, just snacks like hummus, tabbouleh, falafel and salads.
It is fine if you are not hungry, but in that case you do not go to restaurant. Hopefully they add more vegan plates. In that situation I will go back.

Pros: Beautiful decoration, Excellent service

Cons: Not main choices for vegans, A little pricey

Muy bueno, pero algo caro

Si te apetece comida árabe, lo recomiendo desde luego. El lugar es precioso y la atención es genial, aparte de que la comida está muy buena, pero hay sitios relativamente cerca como abok2 que por 9 euros tienes un menú entero y se come igual.

Pros: La comida está realmente buena., El hummus de berenjenas es excepcional, La presentación

Cons: Caro, Los miércoles graban un programa de radio alli

Maybe it was the jetlag...

Maybe it was the jetlag leaving me to give 3 stars only or that there was no falafel sandwich... but they did have several vegan options. I got the hummus (vegan without the tziki) and falafels. Pretty good. Yousef our server was fantastic and the wine was good, too.

Pros: Good prices , Vegan options, Outdoor and indoor seating

Not bad, could be better

Stopped by here for an early dinner by myself and in order to try various things I ordered their mezze tasting platter for two and asked for it to be made vegan. At first the waiter said that was not possible, but he thought about it and acceded.
I got a mezze platter with tabouleh, babaganoush, hummus, muhammara, falafel, olives, preserved green beans, and a salad with black olives. It was accompanied by warm pita bread.
This is the second Middle Eastern spot I try in Seville and I came here specifically because it had such high ratings. However, they are not fully deserved. The food was tasty, but nothing special. The olives in their mezze menu are quite literally just cut up olives floating in olive oil and the green beans are canned green beans floating in olive oil. Those two were very disappointing. Everything else was tasty, but again, pretty run-of-the-mill. Portions in the platter were small. The pita bread was not great. Overall, this seems more like a tourist trap given its location than delicious and authentic Lebanese food.
The interior of the place is gorgeous and service was very cordial. In that regard, it’s a nice place. However, if you’re looking for the best Middle Eastern food in town, this isn’t it.

Pros: Tasty, Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive , Touristy

Great food!

Vegan soup, salad, dips, and more fun Middle Eastern food. This was a lovely way to end our day in Seville! They have a vegan menu and a beautifully decorated venue.

Great for vegan meze

We shared several starters, mix of hot and cold, between two. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented... The staff were very friendly and helpful too. The location is great in the evening, no cars allowed on this road. I don’t think there were any vegan main dishes but the meze of starters was great!

Pros: Great location , Excellent food

Cons: No vegan main dishes

Fantastic food luxurious setting

This place was extremely delicious! We had the fattoush salad, babaganoush, muhajara dip, hummus, eve’s creme (avocado and lemon), and lentil soup. Also had the green tea with mint. Was extremely high quality and we loved the decor, music, and ambiance. Would definitely return again.

Pros: High quality food, Lots of veg options , Lovely decor and ambiance

Cons: Serves meat

All around nice place

Based on reviews of the vegan options in Seville, we decided to try this place knowing that there weren’t many vegan options (maybe about 6-8 including the salads). We really enjoyed the appetizers and ended up going 3 times over two days. All the of vegan items we had were very good and it’s very reasonable price-wise too. They have a few tables outside but inside is really nice too.

Pros: Great service, Nice atmosphere , Great value

Cons: Limited vegan choices
