Great Vegan Options - Edit
Mostly vegan restaurant with some vegetarian options that can usually be made vegan if you ask. A lot of the menu changes throughout the year, but everything is always tasty. If you're like me, and your favorite dishes always come out crispy or crunchy, then you can't go wrong with the gyoza or the banh mi. Dessert options are always fantastic as well.
Read moreNothing is cheap, but it's not too unreasonable for London. Try to arrive early because the place is packed from 6 to 8 every evening. You can usually take a seat at the bar while you wait, or order food to go if you're in a hurry.

A lovely meal - Edit
Great food and fabulous service! We were well looked after and food came quickly. My tofu and noodles tasted divine and my spouse's mock duck burger was just as tasty. We arrived just before 6 and were seated immediately but there were a few people waiting when we left.

Very tasty! - Edit
The place is cosy and the service is very quick. My salad was very good, the vegan cheese sauce was very convincing. I also tried the vegan teriyaki chicken burger and it was delicious. The bravas were a little bit too spicy but we liked them nonetheless. Expect a slightly expensive dinner so maybe you should save it for a special occasion.

Always tasty but overpriced - Edit
The food here never disappoints - they have a range of different cuisines from around the world and there is always something new (I only visit every few months though!) Staff are friendly and the place is always packed. Only problem is that it is overpriced, but this is London...

One of the best veg places around - Edit
We had the pumpkin gnocchi, harissa patatas brava a and the levant chick’n kebabs. It was all delicious and full of flavour. The kebabs had such a good texture: I had a hard time believing it wasn’t really chicken! Not too expensive as well

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.

Very disappointed - Edit
I'm not usually fussy and I like supporting vegan places but this was awful.
Read moreWent for Sunday brunch with my partner. We waited 15 mins to order and the staff didn't make us feel welcome.
We ordered the blt. It was a tiny sandwich with a pile of undressed radishes and kale (What must have been left in the fridge). The side salad wasn't described on the menu which would have made a difference as my partner doesn't enjoy radishes.
My partner's sandwich had no aubergine bacon on one half and was essentially a salad sandwich. My sandwich was hastily assembled and fell apart.
Very poor service from the (perhaps rushed) staff.
It was 24 quid for 2 tiny sandwiches and 2 coffees and although I usually give places the benefit of the doubt it was a rip off.
We will not be coming back.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Overpriced, Bad service, Tiny portions

Not easy to choose from the menu as everything looks delicious. We were 4 at the table and all had a great dinner (soul bowl, black rice, eggplant, Lebanese Chick'n, curry...).

I was staying nearby and went for dinner, I had the artichoke starter and Sri Lankan curry, both were so nice, that service was good, very quick even though it was busy. I’d definitely recommend

Mildreds - Edit
By all means, I want to love all vegan places, but I just can't seem to get excited about this place. I ate here during my last business trip and nothing really looked good on the menu. I decided to eat light during my visit and went with the artichoke dish. It was OK. The artichokes tasted like they were from a can, as I could taste the preservative. I just expected more from Mildreds since they're supposed to be a bit more fancy.

It’s alright - Edit
The food’s quite nice, but overpriced for what it is. Both times I’ve been I’ve had to go up to staff to tell them my order because they’ve been just talking to each other by the kitchen. Waited 15 minutes before getting up to order last time (it’s supposed to be table service)

Tasty veggie food - Edit
The majority of the menu is vegan and they also have a separate allergen menu.
Read moreI had a jerk tofu dish which was full of flavour and not something you’d find everyday.
We came around 2pm on a Friday and were able to get a table easily.

It’s fine - Edit
Mildred’s is fine. There is vegetarian food and it is tasty. It is a solid 3 star restaurant (meaning “quite nice”, “acceptable”) that has some how gained an incredible reputation. When I went to King’s Cross Mildred’s, I had some small starters and then a veggie burger. It was fine.
Read morePros: Cocktails are nice
Cons: Food not great, Meat eaters think it’s amazing so suggest it, Queue invariably hours long

Nice but a bit expensive - Edit
There was a huge wait, but we were offered a seat a the bar to wait. It wasn’t a long wait and the food came very quickly.
Read moreWe got the curry which was lovely and Bowl. Both were really nice but it’s quite expensive. A tip is automatically added to your bill and we had to ask to take it off, as we were already splurging on our travel budget to eat there, which was awkward. I feel like tips should be voluntary.
Pros: Nice, Quick service
Cons: Bit expensive, tip is automatically added to bill

Disappointing - Edit
I find it really difficult to find vegetarian as opposed to vegan restaurants so was happy to find Mildred’. However the entire dessert menu is vegan and there were limited vegetarian options on the menu.
Read moreIn addition the menu is uninspiring. Instead of thinking up good vegetarian and vegan recipes there’s just large amounts of tofu on the menu. Why is it at home I can think of hundreds of recipes using veg and pulses but restaurants cannot!
My food itself was disappointing I ordered the stir fry. There was hardly any veg in it at all two pieces of baby corn and two pieces of broccoli a few bits of tofu and then mostly noodles. When you’re charging the prices Mildred’s do for a dish you expect to find the ingredients promised in the dish.
Food is unhealthy and not suitable for children and apparently nothing other than eggs is prepared on site. I took my under one and the only dishes I could get that didn’t include salt were avocado and egg. Everything else is made outside the restaurant. I told the waitress three times I didn’t want avocado as my son didn’t like it but she kept telling me to get the avocado for him. In the end they reluctantly agreed to do scrambled egg without salt.
Pros: There are some veggie dishes
Cons: Overpriced , Lack of veggie over vegan, Poor food quality

Didn't quite hit the spot... - Edit
WHAT I HAD: Mock Chicken and Waffles with Mushroom Bourbon Gravy; Ginger Pink Juice of grapefruit, pear, apple and ginger
Read moreMildreds – a well-known Vegetarian/Vegan establishment that has a few branches in London. Their menu isn’t extensive, they offer starters, sides, burgers, curries, noodles, rice, desserts etc. inspired by various cuisines (Korean, Middle-Eastern etc.).
One thing caught my eye months ago was the Mock Chicken and Waffles with Mushroom Bourbon Gravy. So, my first visit ever to a Mildreds, I had that for brunch. It was satisfying but didn’t quite hit the sweet spot for me. The mock chicken was juicy and crunchy from the breading, but the waffles was a let-down – it tasted good but I didn’t care for the texture, it was quite soggy and the edges weren’t crisps as a waffle should be. The Mushroom Bourbon Gravy though, WOW. It has nice depth of flavour – sweet, earthy and slightly bitter and smoky. I wish I could have a bowl to drink it! I liked how they didn’t puree the mushrooms and left it a bit chunky. Overall, the Mock Chicken and waffles were pretty could but left a lot to be desired. I did think the portion could be bigger (or they could’ve added some other sides/toppings?) for the price as it definitely wasn’t enough for me.
I liked the bright décor and spacious seating here. It had a fun, casual and clean vibe. Although it’s near Kings Cross, it’s not at a terribly busy area, and was relatively quiet (or could be because I was there in the morning on a weekend). The staff were really friendly and helpful too, checking in with me to make sure I had a good dining experience.
With many other Vegetarian and Vegan places in London, I think Mildreds is probably a safe and comfortable place for many. I only had one dish there so I can’t really make a fair assessment in comparison to other Veg/Vegan places. From my visit and view of the menu, I do think they probably could step their game up. Also, I’ve passed their Soho branch a few times before and there was always a queue! So yeah, I probably need to give Mildreds another try sometime.

Exquisite flavours - Edit
Mildreds is always the right place if you’re looking for a nice dining experience. Take the omnis in your life to show them what great things the veggie/vegan cuisine has to offer.
Read moreThis time, I went for the “Chicken” Raita and loved every bit of it. I’m already looking forward to the my next opportunity to try a different dish from their menu.

Mildred’s is expensive but it’s incredibly high quality and unique food. Their vegan chicken is the best substitute I’ve ever had! Menu changes seasonally and always has a wide variety of options. Really fresh flavours.
