CLOSED: Buddha Burgers

UPDATING 12/2015: Different owners from last year. The guy taking my order didn't understand Hebrew or English. The sandwiches were fine, but the creamy cauliflower was a mess. It was sort of cold, so I sent it back. A very long time later, it came back very hot. But the cauliflower was just mushy and there was a huge pool of water at the bottom of the bowl. I didn't even finish it. There is NO salad bar anymore to dress your burger. We got a cake for 30nis and it was so dry, no one wanted to eat it. Definitely not as good as before.
(FROM 2014)
Took my non-veg son and daughter in law here. They've been before and really like it. I ordered a large pizza just to try it, sort of as a starter. It was very good, the cheese was gooey and melted. The seitan sausage was not up to US standards of such things, but overall it was a hit. We also got a large eggplant lasagne which was great even though it seemed more like moussaka than lasagne. My shawarma seitan sandwich was really good too. Shakes were delicious. Tried the chocolate torte cake with cherry bottom, served with coconut ice cream. It was absolutely amazing!! Will definitely be eating here my next time in Haifa.

We ate there this evening two different burgers, chips and hot dog and ice cream The food was tasty but not as good as the food we had at their Jerusalem branch.

The staff was very nice.
I ate spinach lasagna, which was fine.
There is a very large choice of dishes and prices are cheap.
I would go back to try other things.
all vegan.

Buddha Burgers in Haifa is a great definition of tasty vegan food.
Owned by Druze, Buddha Burgers has its own dishes spesific to this one and all of them are great, I like the cauliflower in cream the best.

Enjoyed every time I went there, great food and lovely feeling there

Another store of the Buddha Burgers chain. The same great salad bar like in TLV. Unfortunately i visited the restaurant too late to get something warm and had only some brownies and truffle which were SO good! So i can`t tell you how the main dishes are in this store, but the desserts are highly recommended.

A cute place to stop in when you're up in the Carmel Center. Normally we eat falafel all the time, but once in a while it's nice to have a good veggie burger, especially with so many options, air conditioning, and the prospect of dessert. Plus, I think the Haifa Buddha Burgers is the cleanest one!

This is not a burger place -- the menu has great variety and everything we had was fabulous. My only regret is that we waited until the 6th evening of an 8-day stay in Haifa. We came back for the 7th evening too. On the 8th day we found their lunch place in Tel Aviv. The whole menu is VEGAN! And the food is delicious. I wish we had this chain in Minnesota. I wish I had all their recipes.

The best vegan rest in town
Lots of dishes and desserts
