Eating anywhere is difficult when you have a vegan and gluten free filter to apply to menus, so you get used to having low expectations. This was gorgeous. The food was fresh, full of flavour, varied - just great. Had tater tots, tofu scramble and hot dogs with a choc brownie, while my meat eating boyfriend loved his plant burger and cheesecake. The menu was excellent. But it really was the feel of the place and the service that was standout for me. They are so warm, relaxed, welcoming, accommodating etc. Our Clumber loved it too - loads of cuddles. Thanks so much!

An extensive menu, reasonably priced with generous portions and best of all, totally vegan - how relaxing to choose without checking!

Friendly and vibrant cafe with amazing options - Edit
Always such a treat to be spoilt for choice in a fully vegan cafe.
Read moreBetween us we chose the falafel panini, chilli panini and the chicken style burger with some chicken style strips on the side - which were my favourite thing.
Staff were lovely and friendly, the venue is colourful and interesting and the price seemed almost unbelievably reasonably priced for the portion and quality.
Definitely would recommend.
Pros: Friendly vibes, Tasty quality food, Super reasonably priced
Cons: Felt spoilt for choice by the menu!

Lovely staff, great food, huge menu - Edit
Such a varied and inventive menu. My partner had a Parma Violet hot chocolate which was delicious. It was so nice to be offered paninis and genuinely good lunch options rather than just burgers - although the burgers look delicious too! There’s also gorgeous ice cream and desserts. The owners are such lovely people who have created something great. Highly recommended!

One of the best - Edit
Amazing food, amazing ambience! Incredible portions and 5/5 value for money! The staff is super friendly and the location is perfect, sitting right in the middle of town! It's become my go-to now! 💜
Read moreWith so many options every time, I always struggle to choose what I wanna have. This time I went for the Macho Nachos, Tofu Pesto Panini and Luxury Hot Chocolate (the last two were staff recommended).
Macho Nachos: I believe one can tell a lot about a restaurant by the way they make nachos. Shanti cafe did not disappoint! It favoured all my taste buds and was the perfect balance between salty, spicy, tangy, cheesy!
Tofu Pesto Panini: Don't let the looks fool you! It's so filling and scrumptious! It was perfect in every way and so so cheesy!! Paired with the nachos, it felt like a party in my mouth!
Luxury Hot Chocolate: It was so smooth and creamy! It wasn't too sweet, which made it perfect!! The vegan cream and marshmallows on top made it even better! I highly recommend!
It's a perfect place for those looking to try vegan food as well! 💜

Super friendly vegan cafe - Edit
Just had a delicious dinner at this cafe. Jo, Mel and the other staff were so friendly and it felt like coming over for a family dinner. We had the Banana Kormu curry which comes with rice, poppadoms, and naan bread and the chilli sin carne which also came with rice, guacamole and pickled red cabbage.
Read moreThis was washed down with their still lemonade
The portions were just perfect and we really wished we had had space for their desserts as they looked amazing.
What a wonderful experience
Pros: Vegan cafe with delicious food, Super colourful cafe, LGBTQ+ and dog friendly cafe

Amazing food! - Edit
Really lovely choice in Lincoln for vegans. Can be a bit pricey, but no more than you would pay at another restaurant these days. The menu is varied with plenty to tantalise the taste buds.
Read moreWe used to come here all the time under the previous management and the new owners have done an amazing job to carry on the legacy, as well as expanding the space and switching up the menu.
Pros: Food choice is outstanding, Decor is bohemian and quirky , Location is right in the centre of the city.
Cons: Kitchen is open which can lead to greasy smell

Nice food - Edit
The food was good, I was excited to try the banana korma because it's not something I've had before. I ordered takeaway and although the flavour was nice, it was a little cold even though I was only 7mins away from the restaurant. Also the rice was a little hard which suggested that it wasn't fresh but perhaps reheated.
Read morePros: Lots of options
Cons: Food wasn't hot and potentially reheated.
