Comfy and delicious - Edit
First night in Iceland and this was exactly the comfort meal we needed after a long and wet day! It was a Sunday evening so was very quiet and the restaurant is small and cozy with nice relaxed vibes. The curries we had were delicious and filling, and the homemade naan (although slightly too crispy for us) were also delicious. Very friendly staff too.

Cozy spot in Reykjavik - Edit
Mama is nestled in the attic of a building and couldn't be more charming. It was packed on a Tuesday night and we were happy to be seated. (Reservations advised!) The food, while decent, was not the most flavorful vegan food we've had, and it was super expensive for what it was, making the experience a little less than what we hoped for. We ordered the West African stew, Lentil chips and dips, and a side salad. All good, not great.

Great Vegan Restaurant - Edit
We had the Mama Curry and Chili Sin Carne, both excellent with lots of flavor and balanced ingredients. Great menu also had salads, desserts, and teas. Seating area was warm & welcoming, as was the service. A must try in Reykjavík.

Terrific and healthy meal - Edit
We shared the Chili Sin Carne and Rainbow salad. Both were generous in portion and delicious. Also enjoyed the homemade Kombucha and a pot of herbal tea that had a number of delicious flavors.

Very vegan vibes and mid food - Edit
This restaurant is exactly what you think of when you think of a vegan restaurant. A quaint attic space with cutesy furniture and cozy vibes. I had the West Africa stew with garlic naan. The naan is extra, but necessary. The stew on its own was kind of average, the sort of thing my vegan roommates and I would whip up together in the kitchen. My companion had the tomato soup appetizer which did come with bread. She didn't care for it and I found it overly coconut milk-y.
Read moreAs a North American, it's expensive (3990kr for the stew plus 990kr for the naan). But for downton Reykjavik, not so too bad.

Lovely lunch - Edit
We had a great lunch at this centrally located restaurant. We had Mama Curry and Dhal a la Mama (lentil stew). Both were good. The restaurant is upstairs in an airy and comfortable space. Service was good.

Plant based restaurant in the heart beat of the city - Edit
Absolutely delicious, comforting and welcoming little bistro. Completely plant based. Hearty servings. Delicious food. And there’s yoda, the beloved bulldog , greets you at the door (he does not go into the restaurant). The owners and employees are delightful. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Good hearty food perfect for a cold climate - Edit
After a long day flying what could be better than a hot, tasty and healthy meal at Mama on a rainy day ? Our first time here and it lives up to its reputation- the tasty soup of the day, an excellent red lentil stew titled Dhal à la Mama and a terrific vegan cheesecake dessert with a relaxing herbal tea. The food comes quickly and piping hot and service is all with a smile - highly recommended!

Nice but pricey - Edit
We had the West African stew and chili sin carne, both were nice and properly spiced. The cheesecake was also good, but served frozen so you have to wait for it to thaw. It’s great to see fully vegan restaurants in Reykjavik but this place didn’t quite meet my expectations.

Great atmosphere and food - Edit
We really enjoyed this restaurant. Good, tasty comfort food. Great service. A really comfy, nice place to eat.
Read moreThere is a choice of stew type dishes, chilli, curry, dhaal. We had the chilli which was excellent and very spicy, and the dhaal which was very tasty. They do a garlic naan to go with it which was also good. The cheesecake for dessert was excellent.

Nice atmosphere and wholesome food - Edit
Great that this place is 100% vegan and supporting vegan restaurants. The space is nice and staff laid back and friendly. Sadly they were sold out of the mama curry but we had the chili and the African stew instead with nan bread and cheese cake for desert. Very tasty. Came to approx £85 GBP total which is around average for the area from what I've understood.
