definitely worth a visit - Edit
As other reviews say, it's a bit hard to find because the entrance is off a courtyard. Look for a small sign at the entrance to the courtyard, or just try every courtyard in that street segment!
Read moreThe restaurant doesn't have a particularly fancy vibe. But it makes up for it in its very pleasant staff and nice menu.
I had the recommended veggie burger, which was made of peas (though their taste didn't exactly jump out of the final product). It's served as a platter with potatoes and greens, and is definitely a whole meal in itself.
The burger isn't "meaty", so those (like me) who like their veg burgers to be veg and not try to fake meat, it's just what you want. I'd rate it on the higher end of veg burgers I've had: no so stunning that I have to come back and eat it again the next day, but good enough that I'd happily eat another one if someone else suggested it and it was the only thing on the menu.
In keeping with the character of the place, they have a sort of "garbage plate": lunch leftovers served as dinner. They do this to reduce waste, so it's a nice concept. I'm just surprised that it isn't priced lower than it is: only two euros less than the other, regular dishes. Anyway, I suppose that has a nice element of surprise while also doing something good.
Pros: tasty and generous meal, friendly staff
Cons: could be a bit more upbeat

such a good lunch place - Edit
We had lunch quite late that day, and it was super good. We had a burger that was delicious, and the buffé. The staff is friendly and the place is very nice.
Read morePros: you pay by weight at the buffé.

Generous lunch portions! - Edit
Lunch options are either a salad bar (you pay by weight), soup or the plate of the day. Hot drinks are also included for lunch.
Read moreAs the salad bar didn't seem too exciting, we had the plate of the day (a lasagna).
Portions were very generous, and the dish was yummy!
The dinner menu looked more interesting, so perhaps next time I'll try that instead.
The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was also nice.
Pros: yummy, location, friendly staff

Lunch in Helsinki - Edit
Before leaving Helsinki for St. Petersburg we decided to have lunch at OmNam. We were not disappointed. I chose the salad bar option whereas my companion decided to try the soup + cooked dish. We were both happy with our choices.

Easter brunch - Edit
Really good buffet option. Lots of variety on offer and desserts, tea/coffee, smoothies all included. Was wholesome food. The only think was we had a short period to eat before the next seating plus they rationed the buns so I didn’t get one as they were saving for the next seating

First visit, good impression - update - Edit
I visited again now after the restaurant switched to completely vegan food. I went with my daughter who took a black bean hamburger while I took the salad buffet. We were both very pleased, hamburger was tasty and salads were fresh and fulfilling. We ate also "mokkapala" with a coffee and felt all warm and happy. :)
Read moreThere are three options available: salad buffet, salad buffet and soup, and then a warm dish in addition to these two. I took the option of salad buffet with soup. There were several different salads, all very tasty and fresh and all vegan dishes (as was every dish the day I visited) clearly marked. The soup was also very nice. There was also freshly baked bread and coffee/tea included. In a city where salad options are usually quite poor and expensive, I warmly recommend OmNam to people who appreciate fresh food.

Long wait but pretty good food - Edit
We had to wait almost 50 minutes for our food on a Friday night although it was not completely full. But the food was pretty good! I will go back if I get the chance.

Raw-vegan style food - Edit
The food is in the style of raw-vegan cooking, so it's a bit expensive and can be starchy/oily/sparse depending on what you're use to. It may be to your taste, but I found Date & Kale a bit easier to get into, while still raw vegan.
Read morePros: Salad bar and fully vegan dishes, Food wth variety, not just seitan and vegan cheese
Cons: Not the cheapest, A bit raw-vegan tasting (not creamy etc.)

Organic, vegan restaurant - Edit
The dinner and cake were ok. A bit too oily/greasy for my stomach. But just my opinion. I prefer sauces and vegetables separate and not vegetables already mixed with mayo.

Perfect for vegan lunch - Edit
I've been here three times, twice for lunch and once in the evening à-la-carte. I recommend the lunch over the pricier à-la-carte, which doesn't offer too much options, especially for vegans (and even less if you are GF vegan like me). The lunch offers soup, salad, and two main dish options. Soup and salad are always vegan I believe, and the salad is very big and always delicious, well balanced with carbs, proteins, and fats. The food is top quality.
Read morePros: Fresh high-quality food.
Cons: À la carte not as good as lunch for vegans.

Hello,
Read moreThanks a lot for the review! We do use a lot of organic stuff simply due to better taste. At the moment the evening menu is all vegan as well as mostly the lunch options. However, we do like to use sometimes good cheese but you can always trust that non-vegan dishes are labelled or can often easily be prepared as vegan, if possible. Helsinki is a small town and "all vegan" dinner restaurants with nice wine or beer do not really exist yet. At OmNam you can however enjoy a full vegan dinner with organic beverages. Or a nice tasty lunch =)

A nice, fresh lunch - Edit
An alright lunch buffet from the pricier end. Food is good, some of it with indian vibes. Food seems to be made from fresh quality ingredients unlike in so many places around. I wish they just went vegan, since it's not far from it, but now you need to check with the staff. The place is very popular, so go early enough in order to fit in!
Read morePros: Quality ingredients, Service, Mostly vegan
Cons: Not 100% vegan, Pricey, Crowded

Hello and thanks for the review!
Read moreWe do use fresh and mostly organic stuff, therefore we are not competing with lowest prices. We do "peel&slice" veggies ourselves which is not the case unfortunately in every Finnish restaurant. BTW, on lunchtime we have a theme- so Indian vibes are about once a week, other wibes other days =)
Hope to see you again,
Mirka
