Food is good, sraff isn't the best

I had the vegan cheese pizza and it was super delicious! The food takes some time to be prepared. (it says also on the menu)
I've been here last year, too and although the food was always good, the ambience and the personal is not the best. They are very busy, playing games on their phones and don't seem really intrested in their guests.

Pros: Very tasty

Cons: Staff is busy with other things

Inedible Vegan Brownie

We rushed here as soon as we arrived to Pokhara as we loved Pumpernickel Bakery In Rishikesh and went a couple of times most days during our stay. We cannot recommended the Rishikesh branch (which is fully vegetarian) enough.
Sadly this place lacked the charm and atmosphere of the other cafe. The coffee was good, but the vegan brownies were inedible - I am unsure if they were old or just bad. The guy serving seemed disinterested when we told him and charged us full price. Disappointing.
Judging by past reviews the savoury food may be better, but with so many great looking places In Pokhara we won’t be rushing back to try it.
I am giving two stars rather than one based on the fact that I don’t usually review a place after just one visit - and we only tried the brownies.

Pros: Good Coffee, Lots of vegan options

Cons: Inedible Vegan Brownie, Serves meat , Disinterested service

Quirky place with decent food

Went here a bunch of times in the last few months. The menu is huge and a bit overwhelming, and some items sound pretty strange. Loads of vegan options though, some were great and some not so much. It’s pretty expensive by local standards (mains 300-600rs) and they add 10% service charge, but the portions are massive which somewhat makes up for it. Our favourite dishes were the cashew cheese pizza, enchilada and greek salad. They don’t seem to dry the salad when they wash it, so usually when there’s a salad component it’s really soggy and leaves a pool of liquid on the plate. But the fresh crusty bread that comes with the salads was really nice.
The restaurant is pretty big, spread over two floors so there’s always plenty of room and would be good for larger groups as well.
3.5 / 5

Pros: Unique menu, Cashew cheese, Huge portions

Cons: Expensive by local prices

Plenty of vegan options

For a place that serves meat, it probably has the most vegan options available in Pokhara. An option of soy or coconut milk for teas, coffee, etc, and a wide variety of food choice, from different breakfast sets, juices and smoothies, to health foods and salads, to Israeli, Mexican, Thai and other culture's foods. They even have vegan cashew cheese for their vegan pizza. I really rate this place. The 'Tofu Scramble Breakfast' from the vegan breakfast section, and the 'Falafel' (including 2x rotis, humus, salad, chips and 5x falafels) from the Israeli section were my favourites, and the vegan enchilada is pretty good too! The portion sizes are large/very large. Good value for money.

Pros: A wife variety of vegan food. Good value for money

Nice vegan pizza

We had the vegan pizza and the vegan enchilada. Both were nice and the staff was really friendly. The vegetable on the vegan pizza were not fully cooked (especially the green peas that were still hard which was a pity). But otherwise a really nice place to eat for vegans.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Affordable

Cons: They have meat products

Fabulous!! pizza and cake and coffee

We actually ended up visiting 4 times during our stay 😂😂 This place is so good 👏🏼👏🏼 We had the vegan cheese pizza the night before our 8 day trek. It was so delicious that we came straight back for it the day we got back from our trek. We also called in twice for coffee (soy milk woo hoo 👏🏼👏🏼😌😌) and the vegan Resses ball dessert which was so delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Pros: Vegan , Vegan pizza, Vegan cake and soy milk and good coffee

Must-try!

This place is a must when visiting Pokhara- the menu has an extensive vegan range for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Food is healthy, tasty, and fairly large portions.

Worst place for vegans/vegetarians

WORST PLACE FOR VEGANS! Restaurant is using non vegan ingredients for their vegan drinks probably food as well. When I told the manager about he reacted absolutely unprofessional. He were rude no eye contact no apology.
If this is happening in a local restaurant it's [censored] no cool but what to do, but if you go in this kind of fency restaurant where u pay more then 3 times the amount of money for your food bad really bad. Their are lot of lovely and good vegan/vegetarian restaurants in pokhara Lakeside rather support them where u know what u eat instead of this fake place where everything is just about money so they lie to their customers. Hope this place will close soon. shame on you!!

Huge range!

Very extensive menu, most items vegan or vegetarian. I enjoyed the vegan cheese pizza and all of the happy belly breakfasts. Vegan options clearly marked, but just be a little careful - I ordered a vegan soup that ended up having a side of garlic bread with butter.
