Vegan restaurant with motto, 'spoil yourself without spoiling yourself.' One of a few branches in London offering a fully gluten-free and alcohol-free menu, with choices like sweetcorn & red pepper pancakes with guacamole, seasonal risottos with pea or mushroom, build-your-own buddha bowls, maki rolls, raw desserts and vegan cheesecakes. Has grab and go deli. Moved here from 13-15 Golborne Rd. Permanently closed due to covid Sept 2020.

Good for brunch - Edit
Mouthwatering and creative menu with good choice of breakfast/brunch/lunch. Execution somewhat lacking in delivering the flavour. The drinks and juices were excellent. I would visit again but with moderated expectations
Read morePros: Good menu & variety , Great juices
Cons: More flavour punch needed

Dreadful food & snooty attitude - Edit
Such a disappointment!!! Had been here in the past but only for starters and had high expectations for a proper meal here. But the attitude from staff was rather cool and snooty (although our actual waiter was perfectly nice) and the food was not good. The starter of cheeses was fine although very stingy on the crackers. But the mains were so bad we left most of it. The bill was very high for what we had - definitely would not return. I’ve eaten in the Covent Garden branch and found it overpriced but at least decent food. This was just a rip off.

maybe for raw vegans, poor value - Edit
value for money seems rather poor, the name of the dishes seems a bit deceiving, they have several raw vegan options, maybe it's good for that, I didn't mind the lunch but I wouldn't go back

Good but not great - Edit
The buckwheat pancakes were stale and tasteless, the corn pancakes were tasty but oily but the jackfruit tacos were tasty (no complaints) . Overall, not a super experience. It could have been better. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed.

I wouldn’t rush back here - Edit
The food was overrated and they tried too hard to make the foods healthy, so much so that the meals we had just didn’t taste great at all.
Read moreImprovements could be made here.
The staff however were lovely and very friendly and helpful.

U.S.A. Vegan Family in town prior to a vegan Baltic cruise with Vegan-Travel, Germany - Edit
HappyCow never lets us down when we travel domestically and internationally. We had a delicious dinner here at Redemption during our short two-night stay in London last month. I ordered the Turmeric Latte and it was AMAZING!!! It was so good that I almost ordered a second one. My husband and I both ordered the Bolognese Penne Pasta which was so delicious. Our daughter order the Spicy Pad Thai and although it was SPICY, it was very good. For dessert we ordered the Key Lime Cheesecake to share and are still raving about it.
Read moreWe were so happy to find Redemption on our HappyCow search for London restaurants. If you haven't been there yet, please give them a try. You won't be disappointed.
Pros: Excellent Food, Ample Sized Serving, Creative Menu Selection
Cons: Patio was smokey , Friendly Staff, Great Non-Alcoholic Drinks

Wonderful Brunch - Edit
Went here for brunch and was so pleased with everything here. Beautiful place, loads of seating inside and outside, breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner options and smoothie, shake and soft drink options. I had the tropical smoothie bowl which was so so nice and the service was really great too. My partner had the bircher bowl and a superhero shake which were great too. Very filling ^_^

Worth a detour - Edit
This is a marvellous place. We visited in the early evening midweek and the restaurant was already doing a ade and no wonder. The food was imaginative and tasty. No alcohol is served - nor did we want any - but there is a fine selection of other drinks, including fizzy grape juice. Staff were friendly and informative and the taste of the food lingered pleasantly after the meal. All vegan and all delicious. We cannot wait to visit Redemption again.

Nice wee place - Edit
Relaxed & friendly atmosphere. Starter of humous/guac and tortilla chips was great. Had the buff burger too - was okay - could’ve done with a bit more flavour/seasoning or sauce, and the bun and black bean patty broke apart too easily which made it tricky to eat without cutlery (and who wants to eat their burger with cutlery?!)

Lots to love but... - Edit
Nice to have an all-vegan place that’s not health foody looking. However, we make all the dishes on the menu at home and, to be honest, ours are a bit tastier. If you’re not a keen cook, then I’m sure you’ll find something new. Avoid the burgers, though. The gluten-free sourdough buns are lovely but the rest is much better at Mooshie’s.
Read morePros: Nice busy and smart atmosphere, Lovely staff, No alcohol to tempt you
Cons: Expensive, Burgers not a patch on other vegan burgers, Cooking a bit inconsistent

A little dissapointed - Edit
My sister and I seem to be the only ones that weren't the greatest fans of this place. We felt that for the price and the taste of the food, it wasn't that great. I have had much better vegan burgers elsewhere, had we paid less it probably wouldn't have been so bad.
Read morePros: Good atmosphere
Cons: Average burgers
