Thai cuisine in the park

A kiosk that serves thai food, mostly curry and noodles. Located in a small park. The food is mostly take away, but you can have lunch in the park if the weather allows to you.

It seemes that it changed the cuisine, as it does not serves the food pictured (burgers).

Pros: fully vegan, cheap

Pros: Cheap, big portions

Cons: Only outdoor seating

Heerlijke junkfood!

We namen een combo voor 4 personen en die was geweldig. Lekkere worstjes, vöner, nuggets en balletjes. Met daarbij smaakvolle patat, zoete aardappel patat en sla.

amazing fast food place

I had their best seller sausage on sweet potato fries with a gerhkin pickle and a tartar white sauce. The mustard offended me so make sure you hold it if you don't like mustard as it's strong. The place was al fresco in a little sandy area next to a park. Good music playing and friendly staff. They only had pick a mix sweets when I visited but usually have donuts. They aren't open everyday so check. €12 for food and their own brand smoothy which was lovely. The foccacia kebab looks amazing too.

Pros: Cool place, very busy, lots to choose from, Very tasty and filling

Cons: not open everyday , didn't have desert when I went

delicious

Nice "foodtruck style" vegan food! The currywurst was amazing and a big portion - although a bit expensive for street food. 11 euros with a drink ❤

Fantastic fast food

I would run down to Jano if you can and have everything from the menu. Including the ice creams and the sweets. Great central location in a lovely area of the city. Food is amazing and well proportioned.

Tasty and very filling vegan burger

I dropped by Jänö for an afternoon snack — or so I thought: the generously-sized burger proved to be all I needed for the rest of the night. Good flavor, friendly service.

Enjoy!

Summer delights :)

I actually like this place a lot. The flavors are pretty strong, and I admire any vegan restaurant that strives to offer more than just the same old boring dishes. Plus, the service is quick and the employees are really friendly, which is a big deal in Finland. I probably associate it with the joy of summertime weather, which makes me think on the restaurant more favorably. Ah well! :)

Pros: Quick, Interesting flavors & presentation, Vegan ice cream!

Cons: Closed in Fall & Winter

it's OK

Girls are friendly, food is delicious but on the downside the venue lacks seating options. There's 1-2 tiny tables only, so more of a hot dog kiosk place really. Also we found the food to be really small. 3 bite burgers...

Pros: Friendly, Delicious

Cons: Tiny Portions, Limited / Almost No Seating

Pros: open till late

was closed

Went there friday at 8pm and it was closed. Couldn't find any sign on the kiosk, their facebook page or on their website telling me when they are open. Won't bother visiting again.

Jappe, on FB there are two status updates from 23rd of October clearly stating that date was the last day the kiosk is open until early next year.

vegan dog

They have the "proteins" in a case just inside the kiosk. Not sure if they make the patties/falafel/dogs at a central location and then package them and deliver out to the kiosk or if they buy pre-packaged ones. They remove the proteins from the package and then assemble the sandwiches at the kiosk with all the fixings. We ate the "hot dog", which was slightly spicy on a white loaf with lettuce/pickles/cucumbers(wish I had taken a picture). It was tasty. We don't typically eat packaged foods, so didn't try anything else. I can see how this would be popular when you want something fast and inexpensive. When we talked to another owner of another vegan shop, they indicated its been successful and the kiosk is continually re-stocked. It's so popular they are open until 4a. I would say it's good for what it's intended. Quick, easy, fast food.

The first vegan grill kiosk in Finland

A small vegan kiosk behind the National Museum of Finland. The kiosk was opened in August 2016 and will be fully functioning later this year, but is already offering something for everyone. The location is central, but not noisy and there is a nice small park to sit down and enjoy your food. Here you can try popular vegan food in Finland: Vihis (a vegan pie) and pulled oat, a new Finnish vegan "meat" made of oats.

Pros: Pulled oat! , Grill food and vegan sweets in one place, Friendly staff
