Lovely service

Our first time at this restaurant. The waiter was friendly and helpful. There were loads of options for vegans and veggies and the food was delicious. We'll definitely come back and try the vegan buffet which they do once a month.

Pros: Loads of clearly labelled veggie and vegan choices, Very welcoming and friendly

Cons: A little slow

Delicious food & welcoming staff

This lovely, quirky restaurant had lots of clearly labelled vegan options on the menu. The jackfruit kothtu and kanda bhaji I ordered were both delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and on seeing my order the chef came out to ask if I was vegan and told me about how lots of Sri Lankan food is naturally vegan and they are very proud to have an extensive vegan offering on their menu. The food did take quite a long time to come although the restaurant was quiet, but we weren't in a rush so this wasn't an issue and perhaps an indication of everything being freshly made. Very much worth a try and great to have some vegan options that felt fresh and healthy and were a bit different from the standard vegan offerings.

Good range

Lovely large range of options, lots of different flavours! If you book ahead with at least 12 people there is a vegan buffet held on the last Sunday of every month, but I’ve not managed to make it to one yet! #Veganuary

Pros: Large range, Vegan buffet

Wide range, tastes great!

Ordered this for a takeaway. Had a wide range of vegan options available. The bhajis were phenomenal. All labelled clearly.
