We loved it! - Edit
This little vegan restaurant is in a beautiful square in the medina. The food was amazing, and we ate quite a lot! The service by the daughter of the owner was also great. Watching the cats while eating the delicious three course menu we ordered was just perfect!

Cheap food - Edit
The food at Shyadma’s was quite tasty and very cheap. It is also one of the two vegan restaurants in this city.
Read moreUnfortunately, the hygiene of the place was not up to standard. Had it been, I would have given Shyadma’s 5 stars. I found a hair in the soup and a hair in the bread, both of which were clearly not ours, and both of which had clearly not just fallen on top as they brought it out. They were cooked into the food.
We’re not really that fussy usually and won’t really complain if we find a hair on top, because mistakes can happen, but I have to deduct points for two hairs neither of which were on top. It also took like an hour and a bit for our food to come out, but we didnt really mind because it was nice to sit in the shade.
3 stars from niki_nine
Pros: Cheap, Tasty
Cons: Found hairs in food, Took a while to come out

Nice little restaurant offering typical food - Edit
It is a nice little restaurant which gives the perfect idea of moroccan food. Everything is homemade and despite the fact that we had to wait until they served us the food, it worthed it. They were nice and the price was beyond fair!

Amazing VEGAN in Essaouira!! - Edit
Amazing VEGAN food in the heart of Essaouira!!
Read moreMade fresh when ordered. Large menu. Super nice young man and a sweet lady that cooked for us.
Indoor and outdoor seating.
We had the lentil soup (2 bowls), one order of falafel-6 pieces with a small salad, two vegetable pastilla (THEY ARE LARGE!) which came with an avocado, cucumber & banana salad along with a 1L of sparking water all for 120MAD!! 12€ is simply amazing. This meal in California USA would be over $30USD!
Definitely go there. Vegan or not, you will love it!
Pros: Freshly made vegan food , Very inexpensive!!, Large quantities

Amazing vegan restaurant - Edit
Small family restaurant in the Medina. Lost of tajines but you can actually choose the veggies on it, many combinations. They also have falafel, pastas and salads. It's a no brainer if you are vegan. And the family running it is very cute.

All-vegan - Edit
Sweet little spot with all vegan food! The dishes are Moroccon traditional and it was fun eating couscous without thinking that it may have been cooked in meat broth! The look out onto the square is lovely. I paid only 60 MAD for a soup, couscous and a drink.

Excellent meal - Edit
Was thrilled to find a fully vegan restaurant that is Moroccan owned. The food is absolutely delicious- includes many tagine options (chickpeas, eggplant, cauliflower, etc), falafel, soups, cous cous and other traditional Moroccan dishes. The owner is a very nice woman who opened the restaurant as a tribute to her daughter who has been vegan since she was 2 years old. Menu is in French and English. Highly recommend.

Great vegan find in Morocco - Edit
I have found it pretty difficult to find good vegan food in Morocco as there is not a lot of awareness of it in this country which is why it was so nice to find this little restaurant! Nice location in a pretty square, food was cheap but very tasty, extensive menu and everything was vegan. The tajines were amazing and they make fresh juices that are divine. Ran by a few very friendly women (didn't speak english but just point to what you want and they will bring it for you). Complementary bread, olives and fresh fruit before the meal was a lovely touch.
Read morePros: 100% vegan (very rare in morocco), Friendly staff, Delicious food
