Just what the doctor ordered

Lovely cosy place in a great location. Ordered a mezze board with 3 dips and the creamy courgette soup😄
The sundried tomato hummus was a favourite, but everything was so delicious and fresh.
It’s slightly more expensive here comparative to other restaurants due to the location, however still cheap compared with UK prices.
The staff were also very friendly and attentive, and the menu items were clearly marked vegan.

Pros: Fresh and tasty ingredients , Cosy outdoor seating , Good portions

Hummus heaven

Almost everything we tried was delicious except for one hummus flavor which was just ok. Also, I really recommend to order babaganoush and pear lemonade.

Pros: Interior and location, Hummus flavors variety

Cons: A bit pricey , No vegan desserts

Good

We had the small mezze set. It was nice to choose the mezzes yourself. There were maybe 6-7 vegan options. Remember to specify that you want the set dairy free/vegan etc, as they otherwise give a dairy based dip with the bread.
It was a bit more expensive, but I understood it was similar to the price range of the district.

Delish mezze menu

Great place for dining with non vegans as most of the mezze dips are vegan and delicious, but there aren’t any vegan mains other than adapting the shakshouka - which was very nice with tofu but perhaps missing some flavours that the vegetarian meal has.

Pros: Great flavour

Cons: limited vegan mains

Great shaksouhka!

Great hummus mezze and shakshouka! Friendly staff. We got our meals quite quickly despite the restaurant being full.

We were lucky to get a table in the evening without reservation. Still recommended to make a reservation beforehand!

Pros: Vegan options labelled , Quick service

Cons: Quite loud

Great tasting food!

Lots of food and very good flavor. We ordered an asparagus cream soup, a hummus, and shakshuka with tofu and no egg. One word of caution: You will want to make it very clear to them exactly what you are ordering before the waiter leaves the table. We asked a question about the bulghar stir fry, and we did not order it, but the waiter later insisted that we had done so. Since it looked great when they brought it, we figured we'd just take it. It had pomegranate, asparagus, and strawberries. All of the food was excellent and plentiful. My favorite was the shakshuka. I don't even know how to begin to describe the flavor. All I can say is that it was stupendous. The hummus we ordered was the one with something hot on top. In most places, we don't find the food that is supposed to be hot to be very hot. But here, it was hotter than my comfort level. But, you could avoid the hot part. They gave me two full bowls of fresh vegetables to eat with the hummus. It was so nice to have so many fresh vegetables. In most restaurants, you are lucky to get any vegetables, much less two bowlfuls.
The bulghurr stir-fry was excellent as well.

Heeeerlijk!! Delicious

Went there twice with colleagues during our few day trip to Poland. Almost all the mezzes were vegan and lots of dishes could be veganized. Very affordable food and wine.. what a treat! #Veganuary

Middle Eastern dinner in Kraków

This Middle Eastern restaurant is located in the Jewish quarter and has different dining rooms, each with its own particular interior design.
I tried their Baba Ghanoush and the Falafel, both nicely plated and served with soft pita bread 🥘
I would have appreciated more vegan options, apart from the typical dips.
The prices are a bit above average.

Great shakshouka

Good place with great ambience. Best hummus and bestest shakshouka. They could do with quicker service, but I get it cause it was packed.

Good vibe, tasty food

The garden area was very lovely and romantic! The hummus was tasty. I haven’t tried any main courses, because I was in a hurry but they looked good. For me, it was a bit pricey (around 40zł for main dish, 25zł side dish)

Pros: Tasty, Good vibe

Cons: A bit pricey

Great food & lovely staff

I had the shakshuka with tofu for breakfast and it was really good and well seasoned, the warm bread that comes with it was really soft and made it a filling meal. When it was brought out my waiter made sure I knew the bread and sauce were vegan too which was nice as I know sometimes I don't trust sauces even if the meal is marked as vegan on a menu. Have been several times in the past and really enjoy the mezze sharers too, they are beautifully presented.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options , Staff friendly and happy to discuss what is vegan, Plant milks available for drinka

Great find

Great find in the middle of the Jewish quarter square. Outdoor seating and good service. Most hummus dishes are labelled as suitable for vegans (see photo).
You might be able to tweak the vegetarian dishes to make them vegan but I’m not sure!
We had the tomato hummus to share between 2 of us and it was lovely. Completely authentic and a good portion size.
I also had the raspberry lemonade which was the best lemonade I’ve ever had!! 👏

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Authentic , Good location/views

Cons: Not 100% vegan eatery, Little bit expensive
