Lovely Food - Edit
A high end restaurant in this part of town, prices are a little high but the dishes are a good size and taste fantastic. Plus everything is 100% vegan which is always good to know. Great place to spend an evening.

Stunning food and service - Edit
A lovely little place with an imaginative menu which leaves you spoilt for choice. To top it off the staff are professional, friendly and helpful. A restaurant that is perfect if you want a break from hipster/alternative vegan places.
Pros: Full of flavour
Cons: Slightly more pricey

lunch review - Edit
I ordered the raw taco, the nachos, the baked potato, and the spaghetti and meatballs. The nachos, tacos, and baked potato are basically the same toppings. They come with a very bland cashew cream saúse and unseasoned beans. The guac is decent but there was a lack of taste on these 3 dishes. The last dish was the spaghetti, the sauce was alright, something you can buy at the supermarket. The meatballs were good.
The service was good but we were the only ones there.
I won't give them 2 stars because I can't say much about their dinner menu. All this with a bottle of water came out to £38 with service included.

Nice for an evening out - Edit
This is a bottle of wine type place. Food is nice and so is atmosphere.

Beautiful - Edit
A lovely, cosy yet lively restaurant with beautiful food. It seemed fairly expensive on the menu but when the meals came they were so large and perfectly cooked and presented you could see why. Staff were lovely and attentive. It was amazing to get such a range of options for a change.
Pros: Delicious Food, Large Vegan Choice, Attentive Staff
Cons: Not good if you're on a budget (but worth it!)

Good food, all vegan - Edit
I'm limited in what I can eat (practically no carbs). Therefore I appreciated that they have an option of making a main dish out of several starters or side dishes. I found things that I would eat. The portions were not skimpy. The quality of the food very good and the presentation quite nice, though not like a super-fancy chef type place. The service was very good. I'd recommend going.
Pros: nice selection, flexible menu, decent portions
Cons: on the expensive side

Vegan fine dining - Edit
The food was good quality in both taste and presentation on the plate. Staff were very polite and accommodating. An interesting array of food as we chose the build your own players but all in all very satisfied.

Very good - Edit
This place is good. It's 100% vegan, with a large varied menu, and the atmosphere is very comfortable. I had a very good meal. In fact, I way over indulged, it was so good. :)

WOW amazing!! a must - Edit
I came with my meat eater husband and we were both amazed! The food was so so good. The atmosphere is fancy but not a suite and a tie fancy. Prices aren't cheap, but definitely worthy for a special event. The service was kind as well.

Awesome location for restaurant - Edit
The location almost seems wrong when you approach it as it seems like a residential area. However, it is nicely tucked away from busy streets. It's a bit tricky to get to as it's not on any of the main train/tube lines but it's right near Primrose Hill so makes a lovely excuse to walk via that for a great view.
Pros: Location (next to Primrose Hill), Lovely food choices
Cons: Bit difficult to get to via tube/train

so much choice - Edit
Not what I expected and exceeded expectations. Portion sizes were huge, really enjoyed the raw tacos to start which would probably have satisfied me as a main. Pecan cheesecake with berries on the side for dessert were delicious, as was vegan wine. Very close to primrose hill to walk our lovely dinner off and look over London :)

The Best!!! - Edit
The most amazing place to eat so far. We didn't have reservations but they found us a table even though it was Mothers Day. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly presented. Everything we saw coming from the kitchen looked wonderful. They even gave us two mothers a bag of delicious homemade cookies when we left!! I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Even the non vegan members of our party were blown away. I will definitely visit again and wish I lived closer so I could go every week
Pros: Excellent Food, Excellent Presentation, Excellent Staff

My favourite vegan restaurant in London! - Edit
I am not sure why it took me so long to try Manna but I will certainly be back. It is the perfect place for a special meal - lovely food and vibe. We ate the arancini, courgette and corn fritters, nachos and green curry. Save room for dessert - the semifreddo was spectacular.

Delicious but pricey - Edit
Can't fault the venue or how tasty the food was. I had the spaghetti and veatballs, with the houmous and pita bread on the side. The houmous was delicious. And the veatballs were very tasty.
I was only disappointed with the portion sizes, especially considering the price. My meal came to £18 (very pricey for lunch) and it didn't fill me up as the portions were tiny. As a one-off treat it was lovely, but too expensive for me to go back again.
Pros: Delicious food, lovely venue, great service
Cons: Expensive, small portions

Lovely little restaurant - Edit
I went for lunch and had a great salad, big portion, nice mix of very fresh raw and cooked veggies, very tasty. It is off a lovely street in Primrose hill, full of nice little shops. Easy to get there from Chalk Farm Tube Station. Definitely want to go back for a bigger meal!

a not so lonely lunch - Edit
Went here for lunch on my own and immediately fell in love with the menu. I chose the nachos as I was wanting to try their vegan cashew cheese. It was great and super filling. Everything was ordered and came to me with in about 5 minutes which was awesome. Certainly going back
Pros: service , fast, tastes amazing

lovely New Year's Eve dinner - Edit
Went with my vegan husband and vegetarian friend on NYE before seeing the fireworks from primrose hill . Set menu for only £54 which included 7 courses, a cocktail and a glass of house wine. Really nice atmosphere and good service.
Pros: delicious celeriac soup
Cons: main course a bit disappointing

I want to love this place but I don't - Edit
There are so few vegan restaurants in London that I wish I could be more positive about this one. I have been here probably 6 or 7 times over the past few years, and every time I feel that the food is OK but nothing special. I keep hoping it will improve. We could really use an amazing vegan restaurant in London.
Pros: vegan, Thanksgiving dinner
Cons: food is just OK, difficult to get to, usually requires reservations

Manna mia (sorry) - Edit
Me and my partner visited Manna while staying in Camden Town... easily one of the food highlights of our trip to London. We heard that it was the oldest veggie restaurant in London and it seemed quite prestigious so we had high exceptions, which I'd say were met.
We decided to book and good thing we did, as it was busy even on a Tuesday evening. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.
We both had the lasagne which was gorgeous although they may have gone a bit overboard with the tomato sauce, which overpowered the other flavours until you cleared it a bit.
For dessert my partner had the cheesecake of the day (coffee and chocolate) which really tempted me but in the end I went for the semi-freddo... three different flavours of vegan ice cream layered with cookie dough topped with fresh berries and coulis anyone? Gosh, I loved it, tasted so good. Very photogenic also.
Sung my praises in the little message book on the way out, great experience.
Pros: Great service, Fantastic food, Chalk farm looks like a nice area
Cons: I've had better bloody marys but still, Expensive for small town Welsh folk

incredible food!! - Edit
My sister and I went last night. We were dressed really casually, on the verge of 'will they let us in?' And they were so welcoming. Then we got to the food- great options, and oh my days the pumpkin soup was divine. Divine.

great for a posh meal - Edit
Lovely upmarket restaurant for the posher vegan dining experience, lovely food but pricey. I went for my birthday with my Omni mum, she loves trying vegan food but didn't enjoy the menu as much as I did, so not best place to take non-vegans.
Pros: posh vegan food
Cons: I didn't like the layout, looks like a house, but , exotic menu may scare Omni friends

Best Sunday roast ever! - Edit
This is my boyfriend and I's favourite vegan restaurant in London, we always visit for special occasions and events. There is always a great atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. Everything on the menu is delicious, but we always go for the special Sunday roasts! The puddings too are unbelievable - the best vegan cheesecake ever. Go with an empty stomach and have three courses!!
