Simply Wonderful Food - Edit
Lovely restaurant, spacious, comfortable, light and friendly. The food - so much to choose from. It is a buffet style, pay by weight (the food not yours)approach, which is fantastic. It means that you can try lots of lovely dishes, and enjoy a really satisfying meal. Lots of vegan options, except deserts - few vegan options. We both tried lots of the dishes, had some wine, and were too full for desert . . . but bought some apple turnovers (vegan) for later. The staff were friendly, and the food was fresh, imaginative and delicious. Worth a trip to London.

Cons: Few vegan deserts

Great concept, great food! - Edit
My girlfriend and I had lunch here, and enjoyed everything: the food, the concept and the interior.
Read moreFirstly, the food. There was a choice of about forty dishes, all clearly labeled and marked as vegan, non-dairy, etc. The dishes were quite inventive, with not a lot of mock meat to be found. Not all dishes were equally good, but with such a wide selection, one's bound to find a few that are not to one's taste.
There was also a nice selection of drinks, with freshly made juice, hot drinks, and a choice of organic cow milk, soy milk and almond milk.
The price was quite reasonable: 1.8 pounds for 100g of food at lunch, 2 pounds at dinner. We ate for around 14 pounds, and had quite full plates.
The service was excellent: the cashiers were very friendly, the cooks who refilled the dishes looked clean and were very prompt, and there were a few people who explained the concept and did some general tidying.
Some final notes: Tibits is child-friendly, with a children's lounge and free drinks for small children. The interior is nice and vibrant, and the location is great: just off Regent's Street (in the main shopping area), but very quiet. And according to my girlfriend, it had the first clean toilets she found in all of London.
When you are in London, give this place a try. You'll love it!
Pros: great food, wide selection, great service, child friendly

Vegan Heaven - Edit
Just went there yesterday, guided by the Happy Cow review. Huge buffet, you get whatever you like and then weigh it. I loaded my plate pretty high and paid 9.50. Good value for money, considering it's London. There weren't that many non-vegan things on the buffet, and they were easy to identify. I'm not really a sweets person, so there may have been more milky/creamy things in that section. Lovely selection of drinks as well, and in nice weather you can sit outside in the Heddon St yard. Go there!

Better than Zurich Hiltl! - Edit
Which is saying a lot! We love Hiltl but think it's a little pricey-- Tibits has MORE vegan options (well over half of the buffet was vegan) even vegan rice pudding for dessert! Everything fresh-- chefs constantly refreshing dishes and offering more variety-- and LONG spoons so no fingers getting near to food... Really delicious-- we had 2 plates packed with food for under 20 pounds, which is pretty good for London. Delicious and great great great.
Read moreStaff is friendly (though on this night there were too few at the counter for weighing and paying) and even turned the hip-hop music down for us to have a more quiet conversation. Lots of nooks for small groups and re-arrangable tables for bigger ones (we had 5 at first and grew to 8 easily).

Good food and pleasant staff - Edit
Went there today for a late lunch. There was quite a good selection for vegans, and everything was clearly labelled. I had some great potato wedges, onion rings, apple, ginger, salad and the mushroom antipasti was very good too. This is a good place to stop after shopping, and I will be coming back again.
Read morePros: good drinks, open all day, easy to find
Cons: not enough vegan desserts

All Round Great Restaurant - Edit
London branch of this Swiss restaurant opened quite recently.
Read moreIt is quite a large space with an upstairs and downstairs. Decor is modern and quite slick. I went at Christmas time and there was a Christmas tree decorated with all different ornaments made from/ representing food. It was rather charming as opposed to Mr Twit beard style.
It is a buffet restaurant and after you have taken your food from the table on the left as you go in it is weighed at the counter on the right and you are charged accordingly.
I piled my plate with a bit of nearly everything. The plates are big so it all fit on.
It was largely Western food with a few ethnic items such as a couple of Indian appetizers. It is difficult to recall everything I had, it ranged from starters to salads to pasta and other cooked dishes. I took a bread roll too. It was good food. It tasted good and was mostly organic although they omitted labeling it organic strictly speaking as they have taken in to account ingredient's air miles in reaching organic/ sustainable status. There is an extensive drinks list too including juice, cocktails, wine and coffee and tea. They also have purified tap water. I had a mango lassi which was good. There are deserts, also on the buffet table, however I was definitely full after my effort with the starter/main.
There are sandwiches which you can take away on the right were you pay.
We were served by a very friendly, attentive person who explained everything to us thoroughly and tirelessly.
It is ₤2 for every 100grams from the buffet. They have had an upper limit on the maximum charge which is ₤9.5 I think. A full plate generally weighs more than 500grams, depending on how high you pile it, so it is quite a good deal, although I'm not sure how long it will last. Bread roll is free. Good value for good quality food.
Good food, service, space, location and it's gentle on the planet too! Excellent!
Pros: Food -a lot of organic -tastes good, service, location

Perfect lunch - Edit
My sister and I were soaking wet from a very rainy day in London. We enjoyed our lunches very much. A large buffet of freshly prepared cold and hot dishes. The 2 chefs were constantly replacing the dishes with fresh food. The coconut peanut balls made from tofu, the marinated green beans, and red salad were wonderful. I could have just eaten that, and been quite satisfied. You pile what you want on your plate, and it is weighed. Our 2 plates and bottled water were 28 pounds. Not cheap, but a typical price to pay in an expensive city. A free piece of bread is included with your meal. Lovely decor inside. Extremely friendly staff. Would definitely return to this restaurant. I've been to the one in Zurich, Switzerland as well.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere, Good food
Cons: Not enough regular sized tables, Hard to estimate what your food costs, You have to pay everything all at once
