Top notch meal - Edit
For our first meal out in a restaurant after lockdown we decided to make a trip to London. Mildreds ,the original Soho one, helped me on my original vegan journey. We were keen to see what expansion of the group had done. Very impressed by the Dalston Mildreds. Managed to park for free about 50 yards away, which is always a bonus. Covid 19 precautions in the restaurant were good. Food was fantastically flavoursome. The Arancini were the best I can remember having. The donburi tofu was excellent as was the chickin burger and desserts were just right not too much sweetness. Friendly staff.
Read morePros: Mostly vegan, Spacious restaurant , Friendly staff
Cons: Parking may be awkward. It is London.

Amazing brunch!! - Edit
Not only is Mildred’s incredible for dinner and lunch but their breakfast/ brunch menu is also fantastic! Even though We went shortly after lockdown meaning their menu was limited, there was still so much to choose from. The highlights included a ‘mezze brunch’ with vegan feta and the banana bread which were incredible

I do love a Mildred's - Edit
This is my local. I've always got love for Mildred's food and I like the fact they switch up the menu once in a while. A new menu almost every 5 months. I find 8/10 times the food is bang on, tasty, yummy and you want more. But it's not consistent. There has bee the odd occasion where the fries were overdone or they slapped the pieces of the burger together that it doesn't look like a burger, or saturated some things with sauces. Sometimes that can be annoying as is not cheap here either. But I would still come back.

Always amazing - Edit
I have been to Mildreds many times in London and it never fails to impress me and my companion! The menu has its invariable corner stones yet interesting tweaks come regularly and the drinks menu is diverse. Strong recommendation for vegans and non-vegans alike – will convince the latter with a great certainty.

What a gem! - Edit
Was lucky enough to be taken here by relatives for a meal out with my partner. It was busy but the staff helped get us a table as quick as they could whilst we had drinks at the bar. The mocktails were really good and there's a great selection of drinks available. Shared the vegan risotto and the dumplings. Then shared the Chick'n burger and vegan tofu jerk for mains. Really filling and amazing flavours. If I'm back down in this area of London I would make sure to have a trip back. The staff were really great with us and we had a great time. Really nice modern decor great for a casual meal or a night out.

So much choices - Edit
Went there twice for a 3 days holiday in London. Tried a burger and sausages. So nice having more choices than just a vegan burger on the menu. Only pro : too many people, quite small
Read morePros: good, many choices
Cons: a bit small

Fantastic - Edit
The food was amazing. I was so happy to be faced with so much choice. Green falafel was very tasty, as was everything else we ordered. Best sweet potato fries I've had. Would definitely go back again.

Fab - Edit
So nice to be i a Mildreds where you can get a table right away - unlike the one in soho! Waitress was lovely. Can recommend the gyoza, chicken burger and chicken waffles. Raw raspberry mousse cake a bit coconut-y for me but my companions loved it.

Favourite restaurant - Edit
Mildreds is one of my favourite restaurants in London so was super happy when they opened this branch. The food is always so good and good portions too. I’m not a huge fan of the setting of this branch and much prefer Kings cross as it’s a little cosier but still a great place to eat! We love to bring our omnivore friends and family here to show that “normal food” (I.e pie/burgers/curry etc) can all be veganised and still taste amazing.

My first time - Edit
First time i had been to Mildred's although i was told about this restaurant last year albeit the Soho one. Visited here last Sunday. Was really please. The decor was nice and trendy, which i guess you would expect now for Dalston. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Sooo disappointing......... unlikely to return! - Edit
Mildred’s in Soho was a new venue in London when I started eating out in London 25 years ago. It was mainly vegetarian but it was smart and the food really good. It should therefore be a cause of celebration that they have opened a further 3 restaurants in London recently. Sadly it is not. Mildreds appear to have the same level of imagination as slaughterhouses have of animal compassion.
Read moreI went with an enthusiastic vegan friend - Anja- to try the new Dalston outlet, my fingers crossed in fervent hope that this place would have a new menu or at least some more variation.
Thankfully Anja had not had tried Mildreds before so their classic burger and Mushroom and Ale pie were ordered. I have had all their vegan options before. I realise that some sad economic models would say that if a formula makes money then do not change it… but this is food! it is an art! - or should be! Yes I know some people go back to a restaurant and have the same comfort food every time, thats not me. I crave new tastes, new sensations and if I am to pay serious money in a restaurant I expect something new. I feel sorry for the chefs at Mildreds, like the burger bar automaton having to knock out the same dishes day in day out. What a waste of such a well equipped big kitchen! Having said that the Ale pie we got was badly burnt on the inside, the filo pastry inedible (see photo) we ate the inners spiced though they were with charcoal - something different at least! Maybe the chefs are already fed up?
My irritation with the same menu is in part because I have a special diet. I have been vegan for over 30 years and so am delighted that Mildreds has so many vegan options. I have also been Sugar Free for 3 years, like many other health conscious folk I realised how bad the sugar fix is in our diets. Mildreds offer only one miserable sugar free dessert .. “Balls”! Given how great the cakes are at So Vegan or Vantra it is seriously short sighted of Mildreds to stick with the refined sugar addiction.
The building is new, spacious and light. The furniture and decor is pleasant (looks like they did major raid on IKEA) and unlike the other branches there is plenty of space between the tables. The music volume is nice and low so conversation was easy. The staff were all friendly and helpful- checking the ingredients etc.
Comrade Anja had the apple crumble and enjoyed it, I had the rest of my very agreeable Earl Grey tea - though it could be argued that a pot that small hardly counts as a pot!
Pros: Nice comfortable light and airy building, Lots of railings to lock your bicycles to outside, Some good food
Cons: Same menu as other outlets, Only one "token" sugar free dessert option, Not inexpensive

Anja's review;
Read moreToday my friend and I went to try out the new Mildreds restaurant in Dalston. The ambience and decor of the place is pleasant and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We ordered the Ale and Mushroom pie and their Classic - sweet potato and lentil - burger. the burger was ok, not the best I’ve ever had but a good healthy option. We choose sweet potato chips and herb mayo with the burger which were great. The pie is not a “real “ pie but a filo pastry affair with leek and mushroom filling. The pastry was burnt rather badly and tasted bad enough that we didn’t eat it, that was rather disappointing. We then had a dessert, only the one for me as my friend doesn’t eat refined sugar and the only Sugar Free option Mildreds offer is Fuzzy Green Raw Balls which are a bit boring. I had the Peach, Strawberry and Bramley Apple Polenta Crumble with Vanilla Ice cream which was nice. Given my experience today I am not really tempted to go back again but hope to take my friend somewhere better next time.

I've not been to the other branches for quite a while, so didn't realise the menu is the same in all of them - that is pretty disappointing! I went when it was 50% off and the food was generally fine but I'd not hurry back at full price as it didn't blow me away

Impressed as always - Edit
Having been to other Mildreds locations I had to try this one when it opened (especially as there was 50% off for the 1st 2 weeks!) There are lots of vegan dishes or ones that can be made vegan. I had the Vietnamese Mock duck noodles and the pandan panna cotta and both were fabulous. The service was really good and you would never have been able to tell they'd only opened the day before!
