Super tasty! - Edit
The rainbow platter was perfect as I got to try a bit of everything which was delicious, my friend particularly loved the seaweed fritters and the tofu.

A fabulous local find - Edit
This wonderful little place serves 'rainbow platters' which are a delicious mix of dishes. My favourites were the chickpea curry and coconut rice, but it was all good. Freshly cooked and beautifully served. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Excellent Christmas dinner - Edit
Xmas Day 2020 and we had a takeaway meal from this cafe. The service was fantastic, the staff were so helpful and answered all our questions beforehand, came miles out of their way to deliver and the food was fantastic. There was plenty of it, there was a good variety in the platters. Great food, great people.

A disappointing second visit - Edit
I visited in the summer with friends and was blown away by the delicious vegan food. I couldn't wait to bring my whole family back so booked for the evening before my son went back to uni for a family meal. We were surprised that there was only one dish on offer - the Rainbow Platter but as my husband had eaten that in the summer we knew it was good. I had been really looking forward to the Caribbean breakfast but pushed my disappointment to one side and prepared myself for my platter. When our food came it was delicious but such tiny portions! We didn't have a plate each (large and small options, we ordered 2 large and 3 small) but rather tiny bowls with the various dishes in. Some of the dishes were to share with barely a spoonful each. There were only 2 dumplings between the 5 of us and our celebratory family meal was over in about 20 minutes! Some of us had cake and custard for pudding but we were still barely there for an hour and a lot of that time wasn't spent over food.

The best healthful comfort food - Edit
Love this place. I got sick last year and spent days in hospital and the only food I could even consider eating when I got out was from Lovegift Vegan, so we got a taxi straight there. It’s so delicious and vibrant. You must try it, it is worth going out of your way for.

Absolute gem - Edit
I have adored this place since it moved here - the food is SO tasty and the staff so friendly. I always have a large platter and it's such great variety of foods I would likely otherwise not eat. Now they have so many dessert options too I always have one of those.
Read moreI am so lucky to have this place within walking distance from home and work. Definitely worth the trip even if you are slightly further away.
With restaurants being closed from today I am crossing all my fingers and toes that they do a take-out service still so I can keep going.
Pros: Excellent, tasty food, Friendly staff

Amazing food and service - Edit
Discovered this place after visiting the Museum of Neoliberalism nearby. The staff were so friendly and put together a sharing platter for me and my partner. Most of the things on the plate I had never tried before but I loved everything. We finished the meal off with a slice of vanilla/chocolate cake and left very satisfied.
Read morePros: Lots of options - everything vegan, Sells other vegan health foods and toiletries, Lovely staff
