First Review by Stevie

Cool place with locals - Edit

My friend and I ended up here on accident since the other vegetarian place was closed already. It is a very cosy place with seatings in the basement. The food was nice and very cheap. Also, there are several beers on draft. There is a football table available.
We had to order at the bar which was a bit of a con for us.

Pros: Late opening hours, Cozy, Cheap

Cons: Order at the bar

Simple, but tasty food - Edit

During my several visits to this place I ate macaroni with tofu, falafels and vegetable soup and carrot salad. All dishes were really tasty. This place is nice to hang out in with friends in summer, because they have inside open yard

Cosy cellar - Edit

I only had beer when I was there since I had already eaten. Nice staff and crowd, nice atmosphere, great beer (Vilnius unfiltered), I liked the music.

Pros: superb beer, nice atmosphere, good music

Cons: steep stairs to climb when leaving

Not recommended - Edit

Worst falafels i have ever tasted in my life.
Wait time for potato pancake was 2.5h.
Wouldn't recommend.
The only good thing about this place is a nice outside seating area during summer.

Cons: Bad food, Wait time

Great atmosphere... - Edit

Really nice atmosphere - the cellaris really cosy, in summer they have outdoor seating, which is also great.

Food is not that amazing, you should know what to order. I usually get falafels or parata with vegetables, or both ;)

Service is generally slow, so if you are starving - better go some place else. This is more of a place where you just sit and chill over some tea or beer.

Pros: cosy atmosphere, good prices, outdoor seating

Cons: food is average, service is slow

Huge portions - Edit

They have a large patio but unfortunately only 4 tables are for non-smokers. I was surprised that there are many smokers among the visitors of vegetarian cafe.
The food was quite good, but not exceptional. We've ordered 2 main dishes and one appetizer for two. The taste wasn't bland, and the portions were so huge that we couldn't finish our meals.
The prices are very reasonable.

Bland and Boring - Edit

It's good that the vegan options are marked clearly, but it had almost no taste. Falafels were hard and almost not eatable, the rest had no real taste. Service is extremely slow. The garden is nice and cozy for having a drink.

Pros: Garden

Cons: Bland Food, Slow Service

Pretty good place to eat in Vilnius - Edit

This place is quite good. It has a big courtyard where it's nice to sit.
We had a totally nice, fast and very obliging waitress.
The food was also pretty good. Very tasty cold borscht, momo (dumblings), and a tasty zucchini curry and afterwards a HUGE apple pie....
Go there and have a great diner :)

Pros: good price, very good service, tasty food

Really nice atmosphere, ok food - Edit

My sister and I stumbled upon this place recently while walking around Vilnius. What an interesting find! It has a wonderful cozy atmosphere, perfect for the rainy gray day we'd just come out of. The service was very prompt and friendly and there was a good selection of food. However, the dishes we chose, the curry of the day and the soup of the day, were, well, bland and rather uninspired. Not awful, just not great. However, the food came quickly, it was hot and fresh, and the wine was cheap. A pleasant meal, overall.

Pros: great atmosphere, inexpensive, friendly service

Cons: food was not anything special

Great place: concerts, good food, not expensive - Edit

It's the ONE place I always go to in Vilnius, when I can, after four years of traveling there.
It's unexpensive, people are nice, the beer is great, there is a greeat variety of dishes on the go, with many choices for vegans.
The place is in a cave, with different rooms, some more noisy, some calmer. And outside is terrace isolated from the street, really great at summer or mid-season.
Enjoy!

Pros: Unexpensive, Many choices for vegans, Several atmospheres, always good

Average food, but good atmoshere - Edit

Balti Drambliai is probably the most known vegetarians place in town, and one of the oldest. It has been known for attracting creative folks, new age hippies, and just people who wanted to meditate at their veg meal under the vibes of relaxing music.
The food is not bad, but not extraordinary. I have been there many times, and I think they did better in their early years, but now they lost some kind of quality and genuine feeling of the preparation of their meals.
Vegan options marked separately, but check for honey, last time I was there it was included in one or two vegan options.
I also think they the portions are too small, and too pricy for their size.

Pros: location, vegan options marked, relaxing atmosphere

Cons: small portions, more flavours needed, slow staff

Good food, cool setting - Edit

The location and atmosphere of this restaurant is great. The food is OK, and the service is good. I'd go back, but I'd order something different. The samosas were just "OK", nothing great. I still had a good meal, though, and the price was good.

Pros: All-veg, Friendly, Aesthetically-pleasing inside
