Good selection of food, but a bit pricey - Edit
Tibits has an interesting concept - you help yourself at the buffet, and then pay by weight. I have to admit it all worked out more expensive than I was expecting, and if the pricing were simpler I'd probably have eaten more, and felt more relaxed overall. The service is friendly, and the wide selection of food is appealing.

Although it is nice and fancy, I do think this restaurant is too pricey for what it is. Maybe visit once or twice a year.

Great location and atmosphere - Edit
Buffet style restaurant where you pay by weight. Almost too many dishes to choose from but I'm not complaining. It's in a fantastic location just off Regent Street, tucked away in a cute lane bursting with plants. Its not the cheapest but one of the best restaurants in London

My Fave Place to Eat At in England - Edit
We went on a road trip and drove all through England. This place was my favorite place to eat at in whole of England! They had an extensive buffet with all lot of great vegetarian varieties. There were salads, entrees, appetizers, desserts, breads. Name it and they had it. Everything was well prepared and truly delicious. The food was charged by weight - so they weighed your plate and that was how much you paid. My only gripe was that the plate was pretty heavy and it did come out to be an expensive meal - but a really delicious, wholesome and variety-filled meal indeed! Would love it if they had one in my hometown here! Also the decor is nice and it's a cute, cozy place.

Yummy food, ideal for a day out in London - Edit
Been to Tibits several times as it's centrally located and there's always been plenty of tables. Love the buffet concept - ideal if you're going to the theatre or a concert, as you don't have to wait around to get served or pay the bill. Everything is labelled well and it's always tasty, although sometimes you end up with some weird flavour combinations (might just be me trying to get a bit of everything though). Loads of vegan options, including hot and cold food. The juices and smoothies are overpriced and not very nice - I usually just get tap water from the fountain opposite the tills. The vegan sticky toffee pudding is delicious and they always have it! The atmosphere is very chilled and the staff are nice. Reasonably priced for London, although the desserts can get a tad pricey.
Read morePros: Yummy food - lots of vegan options, No waiting around, Nice atmosphere

lovely veggie food! - Edit
Lots of variety with the food and all very tasty. I'm pescetarian so don't eat dairy which meant other then fruit there was no dessert option for me :( that's my only complaint. Juices and smoothies are lovely. Defo recommend!
Read morePros: lots of variety, buffet style so you can try many dishes
Cons: limited dairy free dessert

Pescatarian means you eat fish but not meat, it has nothing to do with dairy lol. And every time I’ve been to Tibits they have dairy free cake and brownies on offer.

Best in London! - Edit
We visited a lot of fantastic vegetarian restaurants in England, and most of them were excellent! Tibits is in some very good company here, but what sets them apart for me is the variety. The quality of the food is comparable to the best places, but their pay-by-weight system allows you to try literally every single thing they have. I attempted to do this, but I fell well short of getting to everything. Along the way, I was able to try two salads, four entrees, three sides, and four desserts. Every bite was delicious!

I like to visit this restaurant for breakfast or early lunch. It is quiet here before midday, you can eat delicious food in peace and enjoy beautiful interior design. In the afternoon is getting very busy and noisy.

Good but not great - Edit
I have only been once. The place looks great, really nice decor and seating and very spacious. The food tasted good. However it is extremely over priced for mainly just salads. I feel that they are not catering for vegans/vegetarians at all, but just over charging for basic food. There is a weighing system in place, which is quite common in salad bars in London these days. I just think it's very unreasonable to sell basic foods at such a high cost.

Cons: Very expensive , Just salads, nothing special

Trendy and sophisticated self-serve restaurant - Edit
The food at this self-serve restaurant is very good! Lots of vegan options! My non-veg friend really liked it too. However I eat A LOT, so paying for the weight of my chosen items isn't really my thing.

Too expensive for what you get - Edit
the food tasted quite nice... But it was far too expensive for what I got. I'd recommend going to 222. The lunch buffet is tastier, cheaper, and an all you can eat buffet.
Read moreYou go up to weigh your food and the staff didn't say even hello. All they said was put your food on the scale. They should improve their service for those prices.
Pros: Nice layout, Nice food
Cons: Expensive, Not the best food, Not fantastic service

Review of Tibits, London - Edit
The decor of Tibits is quite eclectic but with an easy-going atmosphere, it is good for anytime of the day and I've even been on a date there. It is a buffet style and you pay for what you eat. It is a bit odd weighing your plate at the till but it makes you more conscious not to waste food! It does serve alcohol in addition to lots of healthy smoothies and teas so there is lots of variety. The food is amazing, lots of salads, curries, cous cous, falafels and pastas. Everything is labelled because there are vegetarian options and they have recently introduced Vegan Tuesdays. You can also takeaway and if I worked closer, I would definitely go there more!
Read moreDecor - 8/10
Food - 9/10 - could change it a bit more, I have been a few times and had the same.
Atmosphere - 9/10 - very chilled and no one rushes you to go. It has been packed every time I've been.
Cleanliness - 8/10
Toilets - 5/10
Website- 10/10 - Lots of recipes and information
Overall
Tibits is a great place for vegans, the atmosphere is great and the food is varied and always well-stocked. It isn't pretentious but nice enough for a date in heels! Once you get over weighing your plate and the obvious jokes/embarassment of how much more it weighs than your friends, it is actually a good idea as you don't waste as much!
Only downside is that you can't book a table and as it will no doubt get even more popular, that may be a problem on Thursdays/Fridays. Maybe it's time the three Swiss brothers opened another location!
Pros: Variety of food, Decor, Atmosphere
Cons: Toilets

Vegetarian food with stylish interior - Edit
For some reason, a lot of the well established vegetarian restaurants in the past, has gone for the low budget, simple interior and bohemian interior. But Tibits made a splash in the market with stylish interior, hip music, to match the Regent street stylish surroundings.
Read moreIf I were to say to a friend where to have a drink, and have some vegetarian nibbles, I'll pick this no doubt. The buffet is standard vegetarian food, with both hot and cold dishes, a well selected salad sections, desserts, and a lovely selection of teas, wines, and drinks.
This is the place for you, if you don't fit in the hippy shabby category, and lux, colourful and stylish interior is more of your thing.
Pros: Buffet style, many choices, Stylish interior, Child/baby friendly section basement
Cons: A bit pricey, Menu should change seasonally, Wish they have more than 1 location!

Let down by the concept - Edit
Having just returned from Europe where I ate in many all you can eat vegan buffets Tibit seems quite disappointing. The place is certainly nice inside and well located but the pay by weight is just loathsome and smacks of trying to get every penny out of the diner rather than give them a pleasant experience.
Read moreAs you don't know how much it will be until after you put food on your plate, you are engaged in a game to try and get as much as you can without going bankrupt (which is very possible in this place) in the process. It's like a very expensive version of pick and mix.
The other flaw is that the pricing doesn't take into account the relative value or weight of the ingredients. How many green beans could you get for one potato? How much cous cous weighs the same as a plate of curry?
When I go out to eat I want it to be a nice, relaxing experience, not a mensa test before I have even lifed my fork. They would do better by just whacking the price up to 20 quid a head and allowing all you can eat.
Pros: Good location
Cons: Stupid pricing model, Dick Turpin prices
