Good value middle-eastern food, but not the best

We went here for dinner on a recent trip to Warsaw to eat at a vegan friendly place that is relatively close to the main station and the Palace of Culture and Science/PKiN (about 5 blocks).

The atmosphere was really nice and the decoration quite homely. We managed to get a table and were served by a really helpful waitress.

The dishes that were suitable for vegans were clearly marked in the menu, which was also in English. We went for a dish with hummus, falafel, salad and sauces in bread. The quality of the food wasn't spectacular - not much more than we would expect from our local falafel takeaway in Berlin (although perhaps we're spoilt!). There were also soups on offer, along with various other dishes and the option to simply order bread and salad and a mix of your favourite dips (e.g. hummus, baba ganoush etc.).

Unfortunately none of the desserts were suitable for vegans, leaving us a little disappointed, although the did offer to make us a strawberry 'crush' when we asked.

There was also a small selection of spreads, pickles and oil for sale in the small 'deli' section by the front.

The price we paid wasn't a lot so we were happy with the value, but I wouldn't describe the food as fantastic. This place is worth checking out if your on a budget or just fancy a light lunch, but I wouldn't recommend it for a big dinner (especially if you're vegan), and would instead recommend VEG (http://www.happycow.net/reviews.php?id=35882)

Pros: Inexpensive, Nice middle-eastern food and vibe

Cons: Not the best quality food, No vegan desserts on offer when we went

delicious, not that gf friendly

the food was really good, the place is nice and they have a good lunch offer as well!
edit: they mark glutenfree dishes in the menu and state there's an alternative. the alternative is, however, switiching out the bread with veggie sticks which is not really a good alternative to create a full meal. very sad since they advertise the place as gf friendly as well ..

Alright middle eastern food

It was our last meal before getting on the train and it was fairly close to the station. The food itself was ok but nothing special. It was lacking a bit of oomph. The staff was nice.

This was a treat!

The food was so good there! We treated ourselves to some starters and a main dish. During the week they have a menu which sounded great and it is very cheap as well! Unfortunately we went there at the weekend so full price for us

Urban atmosphere with great Israeli food

A clever menu with a real Tel Aviv feel A big wine list of Israeli wine, and an innovative menu. Loved the decor inside and the desserts looked super tempting

Very delicious, but not vegan

The food was very delicious and the service was very good (everybody was very friendly), but please note that the menu is only vegetarian, not vegan. But they have some vegan options and everything was at least vegetarian. We recommend this restaurant! 👍

I remember ordering a great vegan shakshuka here in 2016

Been to Warsaw a couple times, last time was years ago. I ordered a vegan shakshuka to take away as I was leaving the city by bus to go to another Polish city (Krakow). Delicious food!

Not just falafels

I was expecting to find mostly falafels and hummus in this place but to my surprise they had a wider variety of dishes. I had a vegan gyros and some tea. It tasted great but I expected the food to be a bit warmer. However, overall good experience.

Updated from previous review on 2022-10-05

Pros: Fully vegan, Cozy place, Good prices

Cons: Food was not very warm

Good food, but dishonest in claiming to be 100% vegan, when it is not

It is quite tasty here. I had the babaganoush, and besides perhaps being a little too garlicky, it was very nice. I felt like leaving though, because it is written that it is 100% vegan, and I even asked if everything was vegan, to which the reply was "yes", although when I asked what the eggs on the breakfast menu were, I was told they were chicken eggs. At this point I challenged the hypothesis that it was "100% vegan", and the server conceded. It's very sad that Warsaw has lost a great vegan restaurant.

Pros: Very tasty

Cons: Not a vegan restaurant, Dishonest in claiming to be vegan, breakfast menu dominated with eggs

Not very good

Food is very much based around pieces of white bread, and the place is not vegan. They serve products with egg in it.

Good vegan junk food

The soya gyros wrap was nice, especially the tofufeta and the vegan tzatziki sauce. The soya meat itself could be tastier. Really good spicy chips. Definitely worth a visit for a quick bite.

Very basic

Super basic food, your everyday kebab shop does it better. Maybe this place should come up with a new menu or just offer a bit more developed flavour combination.

Could be better

Very good food but we got it quite cold. Nice restaurant design but very messy toilets with extra full bin, no toilet paper and no paper towels. Generally good but not menaged well (maybe only this day was difficult for the staff - dunno).
Few weeks ago I visited Tel Aviv in Gdynia and it was lovely and everything was perfect - so if you can, try go to Gdynia instead! In Warsaw there is much more interesting places;)

Should have tried a pita

This cafe was very close to our hostel so I thought it would be a great place for dinner. I was craving something comforting after a long day so I tried their coconut curry with a glass of house red. The meal was quite nice though not mind blowing, especially vegetable pickles as they seemed quite bland. I loved the atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. However I wish I had ordered one of their pita or falafel dishes as they are definitely best sellers. I still hope to visit again to give them another chance :)

Przykład dla innych!

Miejsce warte polecenia. Duży wybór w menu - jest różnorodnie, obsługa miła, jedzenie przepyszne, nie trzeba długo czekać. Osobiście dodaje jako punkt do odhaczenia przy następnej wizycie w Warszawie.
