Incredible experience - Edit
An incredible experience at Shlen! It's undoubtedly an excellent vegan restaurant in Madrid. We came with a friend who usually eats meat, and he was blown away; the Peking duck and the Shlen bao buns are spectacular and have a perfect flavor and texture.
Read moreWhat really sets it apart is its selection of craft beers. It's not common to find a vegan place with such a carefully curated selection. We tried the Doskiwis, Garage, and Espiga beers, and they were all delicious. If you're looking for delicious food and great craft beer, this is the place. Highly recommended!

What a hidden blast! - Edit
What an amazing concept - the interior is beautfiul and the music was mostly great. Our waiter/Manager/Chef de pastry was just such a sweetheart and talented person. The food was great, and even unforgettable, how they veganized Dishes and balanced tastes just amazed us all. Some of the tastes are still lingering in my mouth. It was auch a pleasure, especially the "taste Bomb", the "Bao bun", "gyoza with leaks and szechuan oil" and finally the Dessert made by the master an amazing Tiramisu and "gyoza de manzanas" which reminds you of German Apfelstrudel. What a blast IT was!!!!

Fabulous vegan restaurant in Madrid - Edit
Our fifth visit. Every time is a new surprise. Just FABULOUS food and impeccable service. Dishes to not miss? The flavor bombs, the no butter no chicken, pato pekin, boa Shlen, the sushi… never had a dish we didn’t like. Really spectacular food made with love and care. One of the best in Madrid, hands down!

Amazing vegan restaurant - Edit
This was my favorite vegan experience in Madrid. I loved the Pato Pekin, Shlen Baos, Potato Dosa and the Truffle Gyoza. The service was top notch and it felt like I was in a Michelin star restaurant. We also had a cocktail each which was catered to our palate. We shall definitely be back.

Fuimos a Shlen de manera totalmente improvisada y nos enamoramos de la comida y del lugar.
Read moreComimos las bombas, el sushi y los baos, y de postre las gyozas de manzana. Nos sorprendió mucho la combinación de sabores.
Además, la atención por parte de Simone fue espectacular.
Es verdad que el precio es alto pero merece la pena.

Good but there are better options in Madrid - Edit
It's a nice concept, and the service was absolutely stellar, but the food fell a tiny bit short of my high expectations, since this is Madrid with so many top places for vegans. I had the tasting menu plata which has gyozas, bao, rice ball and creamy ramen. The gyozas were nice and lightly spicy "Spanish spicy" as the server called it.
Read moreThe fried rice ball was a bit bland despite having the same sesame topping as everything, good, but 'sin más'. The bao was the highlight in my opinion. Finally the creamy noodles were good with a simple cocunut curry sauce, but also just normal and the same sesame topping didn't really do much to distinguish it when all the other plates had it also. For the desert I had tiramisu which was quite good but came out frozen. I must highlight the absolutely excellent service. Very friendly waitress.
Pros: Amazing service, All vegan
Cons: Just average flavors despite a cool concept

Really good and pleasant place - Edit
We booked a table with WhatsApp and they answered very quickly. Although we were alone in the restaurant, the service was a little bit slow (for the drinks), but all was served with smile, so it was a pleasure for us to eat there. The food was amazing, so delicious and original. Staff was friendly, welcoming and smiling. Place to recommend.

Una auténtica delicia - Edit
Quedé gratamente sorprendido con este restaurante, para empezar tanto la camarera Geraldine como el dueño Lennon son muy amables, te sonríen sinceramente y te hablan con esmero de sus platos y sus sabores, además de cómo te recomiendan comerlo (con las manos, de un bocado, etc...)
Read moreLas bombas de sabor tienen el nombre que les corresponde, una mezcla dulce de especias tan exótica que pareces estar frente al Taj Mahal
Las samosas, esas empanadillas triangulares tan generosamente rellenas, con su puntito de picante e intensidad de sabor, totalmente recomendables, como se nota que no usan aceites, están super ligeras
También tomé un dao! una especie de crep hecha enteramente por ellos, con una mezcla de lentejas y algo más que no recuerdo, rellena de patata y una crema que le daba una suavidad tremenda, unos bocados exquisitos
Y llegó el pato! ya sabemos, "pato", unas tiras de proteína de guisante, con verduras , envueltas en una hoja de arroz, jope, no sé cómo lo hacen pero ese crujiente así como de caramelo y la combinación con las verduras y la hoja, quedaba sabrosísimo
Una pena que no me quedara hueco para los postres, la próxima vez será porque el tiramisú tenía una pinta...
Resumiendo, me chupé los dedos con cada bocado y terminas con ese sabor intenso recordándote cada plato. No dejen de ir porque es una experiencia gastronómica de esas que dices: carne, quesos, ... ¿qué necesidad hay?
Pros: Pato

Delicious food even non vegans rave about - Edit
Lennon, the owner/chef is passionate about his food which comes across in his cooking and the flavours he develops in each of his dishes. There was so much choice and our non-vegan friends also raved about the food. Everything we ate was simply delicious, the service was great and we had a wonderful evening. I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough.

A must visit in Madrid - Edit
We visited with twelve people to celebrate a 60th birthday and they treated us like royalty! The food is absolutely sublime, ranging from Gol Guppa (Flavour Bombs) to Peking Duck. Wonderful textures and flavour combinations.
