Good food but terrible delivery

Update;
Ordered via Uber eats. Too expensive and the food came messy with no cutlery. Called and the manager blamed it on the waiter.
The beet falafel was burned.
The gnocchi tasted like plastic.

Most of the menu is vegan. The food is a solid 7.
The app says they are not open on Sundays, but they are.

Pros: Lots of options, Some food is good, Location is good

Cons: Terrible for delivery , Burned falafel, Not consistent quality

Do not order via Uber Eats. The food comes messy and they don’t send cutlery.

Not worth your cash

I get the impression THEY are doing YOU a favour by allowing you to dine in their pokey restaurant.
The owners are arrogant and simply rude. No wonder they are shutting down faster than the post office.

Pros: Ummmm, Er……, Well actually the…..oh no sorry that wasnt here

Cons: Expensive, Everything is cold, Tasted like pick n pay ready made meals

Au revoir falafel petit.

So sad to see what’s happened to this brand. All shops but one are closed and bizarrely it’s the worst one that remains.
Lexis fell asleep and the competition blew them away.

Pros: Next door to tashas

Cons: Overpriced , Overrated, Over

Delicious and many options

Went out to lunch with a vegetarian friend. So many vegan options and a couple of gluten free too! I had the protein waffles with vegan cheese and pesto. The coffee was also great. Pretty patrons and staff helped to boost the experience 😉 Friendly service! Allergens clearly marked on the menu and questions very welcome.

Great find

Happy this place exists! A great find while I was in Joburg. Located in the Rosebank Mall and reasonably priced, they have a lovely selection of casual dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as nice smoothies. The tofu burger I had was a little light on the tofu and the banana bread was slightly burnt so there was room for improvement. But the main dishes were wonderful and I’d highly recommend a visit.

Should have 5*

We had an AMAZING meal here. So good we tried to back again the next day, but as it was Sunday it was unfortunately closed. Gutted as I wanted to try the “eggs”.

The menu is almost entirely vegan, other than a couple of options for our non-vegan pals! My husband is a meat eater but ordered the tofu & veg curry and said it was one of the best he’d ever had. I had the Mexican hot bowl - also super yummy.

We shared the beetroot falafel, had “pancake batter” protein shakes and shared a HUGE slice of lemon cake to finish.

Hard to describe just how lovely the food was. The service was also great.

Pros: Almost entirely vegan, Lovely atmosphere , Great service

Cons: None!

Would give the vegan food 5 stars if I could

I’ve been travelling to Sandton now for over a year and could not believe my luck that Lexi’s was in such close proximity to where I was working. I eat here most days when I am in Jo’burg.

Whilst they take an approach that caters for carnists, so they can’t be called vegan, it is refreshing to see that the “caters for” mentality has been reversed!

The range of dishes they offer for vegans is second to none. Whether that’s breakfast, warm or cold bowls, sandwiches, burgers, big mains, deserts, smoothies - the list is amazing.

Then there is the quality. Fresh ingredients, beautifully presented and so tasty. I am surprised there are not more of these places in the world.

The venue is also great - really well presented, comfortable and friendly. The staff are fab and the whole experience is really great value.

Please come set one up in Kingston upon Thames!!!

Pros: Incredible vegan food and drinks, Extensive vegan food and drinks menu, Friendly staff and great vibe

Cons: Caters for carnists

Amazing breakfast

I usually get the Farmer's Breakfast Bowl with tofu scramble instead of egg, it's delicious. If I'm really hungry, I get it with a slice of toast as well. The staff are friendly and the service is great. Best vegan waffle I've ever had, and worth it to spend extra and get the additional ice cream with it - the rose and cardamom flavor is just insane in the best way possible. Monday nights are two for one special on burgers.

Pros: Breakfast, Waffles, Everything

Delicious, well prepared food!

I’ve been wanting to try this place and finally had the chance. It was well worth he wait. I had one of their bowls that was heavy on greens, and really enjoyed the chickpeas, sweet potatoes, and mixed vegetables that filled the plate and made it quite a hearty meal. Large drink selection and some great desserts too. Lots of seating and a gear environment. Nearly all vegan except two or three things on the menu. I’ll definitely be returning here whenever I’m in Joburg!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great environment , Friendly staff and owner

Cons: Not exclusively plant-based

Delicious Healthy Food

I love this place! It is mainly plant based. 3 options are not. I loved their farmers breakfast, the falafel wrap, red velvet cappuccino and vegan Horlicks. Their juices are served with a metal straw instead of plastic :) word of advice that if you order the sandwiches or salads the portions are quite small. The wraps are nice and filling though! The vegan cheesecake is also yum! My favourite was the passion fruit and then the blueberry. I can’t wait to try all of their other vegan dishes :)

Pros: Mostly plant based and delicious, Great location, Nice decor

Cons: Some dishes are far too small for price paid, Service can be slow especially when busy, Not fully vegan

So YUM! at Lexi's Healthy Eatery in Rosebank
