great junk vegan - Edit
I ordered this as takeaway one lonely Friday evening and it really hit the spot. Normally don't like vegan cheese but their cheesy chips were great and the burger was very tasty. Will return here when I next need a junk hit!

I found jackfruit! - Edit
I've been wanting to try this place and it didn't let me down! Pulled jackfruit burger was exactly what I'd been looking for, Try it with caramelized onions! The chickpea bites were delightful too and tasted like mini, moist falafel bites.
Service was great. I'll definitely be back here.
OH and the market just a couple doors down actually sells jackfruit in cans, something else I haven't been able to find. Bonus!

Can't praise this place enough (not really a reviews person either) - Edit
I've been to Mooshies three times in the past few months: never disappointed by their inventive menu offerings (so much that it's honestly kind of hard to try everything, you really want to keep coming back and picking the same things). Notably their take on a fish fillet burger features a patty made out of aubergine: I was a little skeptical of that, but it honestly all works absolutely perfectly (it's super juicy), especially with the tartar sauce. The pulled pork burger is my second pick so far and also really wonderful, if a little messy (although honestly a lot of good food is, right?). The only thing I have close to a complaint would maybe be that I don't feel the type of cheese used on the cheesy fries works very well, though this could be personal preference, and on the other hand of this I do find the general selection of other toppings/sauces this place offers manages to be pretty plentiful. Customer service is super wonderful, the staff are really nice and usually take the time to ask how your meal is/was, so even if the place can be a little pricey (as are most vegan places in London) I'll always be willing to try and sell it to people :)

different and delightful if a bit decadent! - Edit
And I only say decadent because like almost everything new hip and vegan this place is not for those short of cash. But the burgers are made of different fillings to the usual and the "fish" one I had was excellent. Nice crispy sweet potato fries as an extra side ( but at £3.50 they aught to be!) I'll be back to try the other burgers. 😋
Pros: interesting imaginative menu., vegans on brick lane!, friendly and helpful staff
Cons: a tad pricey, not big selection to choose from

Nice little place, good burger - Edit
Nice informal place, and the burger tasted great (though it didn't have much of a "bite" to it).
Pros: Nice informal place, no b.s.

Picked up my burger and didnt put it down once - Edit
Fantastic, just amazingly awesome. I had the Brick Lane Biju burger and essentially cried w joy. Going to become a regular. Super chill vibe, good music. Local beers and cupcakes from right down the block! Cant recommend more highly.
Pros: Food, Vibes, Value
Cons: You have to stare at halal shops on all sides

Awesome vegan burgers! - Edit
So happy that this place is in walking distance from where I live. Went for the first time the other night, my brother and I had the 'Pulled Mooshie' and my mum had the 'What's Your Beef' black bean burger - everything was delicious and the chickpea bites were amazing! Will go back again and again. Also the staff as SO friendly :)
Pros: Very very tasty, Great value , Lovely staff

Disappointing - Edit
I was soooooo excited about this joint, having eaten amazing vegan burgers in other places in London, like Mildred's& Black Cat in Hackney. I went on a special mission to go to Mooshies, and was mega disappointed! I had the quinoa and black bean burger. It *looked* great, but unfortunately the burger was not flavoured or seasoned, meaning it was a large wodgy and flavourless lump- and the best bit of the whole burger was the gherkins. Without these gherkins providing a salt and flavour hit, I probably wouldn't have finished the burger. Overall, the burger filled a hole in my tummy, and I may have just got them on a bad day! But I am not sure I would recommend this as a place to eat to vegan friends- and based on this experience, I don't think I will be back :(

Pros: Good vibe , Vegan
Cons: Flavourless burger :(

MooshiesLondon 22 Dec 2016 - Hi BlondeVegan,
We are sorry to hear about your disappointment. We strive to make the best burgers and are always listening to good and bad feedback in order to make changes where possible. It's difficult to know why someone says a burger is tasteless and another thinks its fantastic? But we are working on improving the taste of the patty in order to make everyone happy!
We are only 7 weeks old and are running because of each person that comes through the door and when Vegans say they wish there were more options, it's maybe because some Vegans are quick to dismiss places based on one bad experience. We have 4 burgers plus sides which all deserve to be tried before making a judgement on the overall place. We ask that Vegans give us a chance before saying they would not recommend it to anyone.
We are slowly building a strong following but are always keen to understand the reasons behind such harsh criticism so we invite you back to try one of our other burgers and have a chat about your thoughts on the quinoa and black bean burger you were disappointed in.

great food and service - Edit
I had the qui so burger which was very delicious. What I really liked here was that they seemed to strike a really good balance between a relaxed atmosphere and good customer service. The two people who were working when we were there last night were super helpful without being overbearing and I thought that the lady working the tables was lovely and very quick to top up waters and clear tables. :) not too busy but enough people to give it a nice vibe

Awesome burgers and cupcake! - Edit
I had a 'Pulled Mooshie' (jackfruit burger) with cheesy sweet potato fries and they both tasted delicious, definitely better than the mock meat burgers. I also had their new cupcakes by Vida - the mocha one and it was really tasty too! The staff were so friendly too and I'll definitely have to come back and try the other burgers

Great addition to Brick Lane - Edit
I also had the signature Mooshie. Delicious. As another reviewer said, rather messy to eat so perhaps they should supply knives and forks. I also sampled a vegan pale ale which went really well with the burger. Very friendly and helpful staff who gave me a complementary cupcake.
Highly recommended.
Pros: Delicious burgers, Friendly staff, Welcoming atmosphere

Finally - an amazing vegan burger option - Edit
This has made it into my list for office lunches for sure. Tried the pull mooshie, i love jackfruit but wouldn't believe you could imitate a perfect pulled pork from it. It was a bit messy to eat, the fillings with coleslaw dripped from every angle but that just goes to show how much filling you get! Was admittedly a bit disappointed in the cheesey fries, the cheese wasnt melted though it was good vegan cheese.
Will be back to try the fish!
Pros: Excellent burgers

Amazing vegan junk food - Edit
Had the jackfruit pulled pork style burger and it was amazing. I think even meat eaters would be impressed by their burgers, fries and beer.
Pros: Beer, Burgers, Friend,y staff
Cons: I don't live in the kitchen

Fillet-om-Phish is Life! - Edit
Came here last week with my partner, I'm SO happy to see a place that does delicious plant-based burgers (so over soy and fake meat processed-junk). The fillet-om-phish was unbelievably good, can't believe they managed to get aubergine to taste like fish! It was so delicious we had to buy a second one.
I got the pulled jackfruit burger and I have to be honest, I think I prefer my own version of this, I use a lot more marinade (bbq sauce + spices and brown sugar) and dried out a little bit. It was a bit lacking in sauce and the fruit was too moist, I prefer it a bit chewier and more well-done. We met the owners and they were lovely (they also allow dogs in here, which is good to know and they made a big fuss over our boy), so am definitely looking forward to going back and trying the other burgers they have on the menu.
Pros: Most incredible fillet o'fish, Really nice atmosphere, decor and friendly owners, dogs allowed
Cons: jackfruit one could've been more well-done, Cheesy chips were a bit dry, couldve been chunkier

Never tried jackfruit? Do it here! - Edit
My partner and I were looking for a great vegan burger for lunch and happened to walk past Mooshie. Seeing their signature burger is a pulled jackfruit one, we wanted to give it a go. Cooked fresh in front of us by a lovely couple who gave us tips about sourcing jackfruit for ourselves, they added vegan cheese, homemade coleslaw all in a brioche bun with fresh sweet potato fries on the side. Oh my God, awesome! We're going back later to try the aubergine 'fish' burger for another new experience. Highly recommended.
