Me and my boyfriend (not vegan) tried this place tonight it was so good and the owner is so lovely. I had the tight tacos which were amazing and he had the sizzler which he really liked.

Disappointing experience - Edit
We travelled a fair way for the Sunday roast, sadly the vegetables were stone cold, when I complained the manager said it’s because it’s salad! The portion sizes were also very small for the price we paid. My son had a tofu and vegetable curry but it tasted like a bought vegetable curry from a supermarket. The tofu was missing. Customer service was also missing as no real apology or anything offered to us to make amends. Wong be going back.
Read morePros: Nice room
Cons: Cold vegetables , Portion size , Lack of customer care

Very good - Edit
Spoiled for choice with the menu, there is a bit of everything so you can be sure to find something if you are a bit picky like me. The food was fantastic as was the host, we will definitely visit again if we're in the area

Great fresh food! - Edit
I convinced my non vegan friends to try Karmana and we were all very happy with this place! We got the seitan burger, onion rings (some of the best I have ever had), vegan sizzler and between us we had all the desserts. Everything was lovely, delicious and the staff were so incredible! I want to go back to try their vegan afternoon tea!

Very tasty food and friendly service. As a vegan, I always prefer to dine in a vegan restaurant if available. Found this one on HappyCow and we weren’t disappointed. We had a feast! Thank you.

Absolutely incredible - Edit
One of my all time favourite restaurants, if not my favourite. Been there so many times over the years with friends and family and I’ve never had a bad meal. Also the best vegan lasagna you’ll ever eat! Portions are large so I usually end up taking dessert home. Owners are caring and have a genuine interest
Read morePros: Owners are lovely and genuine people, Large portion, Tastes amazing!

Amazing food - Edit
The food was realy delisious! And the place was nice and cozy. But the only reason I gave just 4* it’s because of the waiters. The kept asking us if we are ok, if we need anything, but too often. They asked us about 5-7 times throughout the hour and a half we were there. And in one point it was realy disturbing us. And then another waitress was in a realy bad mood when we paid, and she was realy rude to her stuff. But anyway it was a very nice place.

Cons: Waiting stuff

Love this place! - Edit
You can see the food being cooked fresh to order from the kitchen, the portions are so generous and there is so much variety. There are also lots of yummy vegan cakes and desserts at the counter, which they will gladly pop in a box for you to take home with you.
Read moreThe owner of Karmana is a lovely lady, who came to chat with my mum and I as she took our orders, and was so knowledgable about the dishes and gave great recommendations based on our likes, dislikes and dietary preferences. The atmosphere is so relaxing and chilled out.
Make sure to try one of her authentic curries, and the vegan naan! :)
We were also told they do a vegan afternoon high tea! Will be back again to try that in the future for sure.
Pros: Generous portions and great variety, Lovely staff and owner, Fresh, healthy and organic ingredients
