Great vegan diner food - Edit
I enjoyed this place! I thought the burger was great, and I'm usually very picky with burgers (either they're too eerily meaty or too grainy -- but this one was just right).
Read moreThe store, also despite being rather limited in size, also seemed to have a wide variety of options for plant-based proteins.
I arrived by myself around lunchtime and didn't have trouble finding a seat, but it might be harder for a larger group dining together.
Pros: Nice vibe, Good food, Staff were polite and friendly
Cons: Small space with limited seating

Decent vegan fast food - Edit
Huge portions of vegan fast food for good value. I haven't found the staff as rude as some other reviewers, but haven't found them overly friendly either. The lack of seating can make it tricky for some of the non hand held dishes.
Read morePros: Big portions, Tasty fast food

Incredible! - Edit
My husband and I were only in London for 2 days.... went both days! First we just split a side of the Mac N Cheese and BBQ ribs - SO GOOD. Possibly some of the best vegan Mac N Cheese I’ve ever had! The next day we came in for lunch... both got the cheeseburger and split nachos. The nachos were basically swimming in the cheese sauce which I’m not normally a fan of, but they tasted great still. Anytime I’m ever in London I’ll definitely go back!!

Poor service. Rude owner. Awful experience. - Edit
I traveled across London to this restaurant on our recent trip to and was appalled by the level of service we received. The person taking our order told us we could not order a vegan kebab without lettuce. At first, we were confused, believing he didn't hear us but soon found out how arrogant he was. We later found out he is one of the owners (Rudy). Perfect name because he is incredibly rude.
Read moreHe then began to tell us we HAD to order it with lettuce because it would look "flat" without it. I'm sorry, but if lettuce is what is holding your dish together, you have bigger problems. Also, he tried to tell us, ALL kebabs come with lettuce. Well, I can tell you that is not the case and has never been a problem in 20 years of eating kebabs across Britain. Plus, he had a chocolate eclair in his fridge with jam and sprinkles! Or the irony, when was the last time chocolate eclairs came like that? It is almost like he changed from traditional, huh?!
But it got worse, he then decided to tell ask if we were allergic to lettuce and how we should just order mac and cheese instead. You know, the mac and cheese without real cheese, again, the irony lost on him. Maybe, people do not want to discuss medical conditions with strangers in public?
This is not a Michelin star restaurant, where all ingredients are needed to make the dish, its a kebab! People should not be accosted for trying to order their food and for that, I give the lowest stars possible. It is bad for people that may have medical conditions, and it is bad for veganism.
Cons: Rude owner, Poor service

I love this place! - Edit
The food is amazing, and the desserts are to die for! The best chocolate brownies on Earth, and one of the best vegan cakes I've ever had!
Read moreOnly thing they could do is to try and get a bigger premises so more people can eat in. If this place were more of a cafe/restaurant, they would do amazingly well I reckon!
Oh and avoid the vegan nuggets!
Pros: excellent food, excellent cake and brownies, friendly staff
Cons: small premises , not enough seating, Horrible vegan nuggets!

Small and cozy - Edit
Got donuts there twice, both times they only had two different options, but the donuts were pretty good. They offer some glutenfree stuff. The prices were reasonable. Staff very friendly. They use plastic containers for the donuts to go.

Most edible products are soya based! - Edit
When I asked if they had anything soya free the staff member just said we are vegan everything has soya. I felt as if I’d asked for a bacon sandwich. I am vegan and I’m highly intolerant to soya as are a number of vegans.
Read morePros: All vegan, Great non soya Parmesan

Bon et pratique - Edit
Une bonne adresse Vegan à proximité des 2 gares, à emporter ou à déguster sur place si on a un peu plus de temps... J’ai pu tester le Donner Kebab version Supersize, très bon et pimenté à mon goût (3 sur 5), le simili-carné est goûteux et avec une bonne consistance.

Amazing breakfast - Edit
We came here for breakfast and stayed for much longer than we expected, overwhelmed by all the delicious food !! We had the all-day breakfast, a copious plate of british breakfast deliciousness including mac'n'cheese, beans, potato fritters, seitan nuggets and buttered toasts. Our sweet tooth was also fully satisfied by the donuts and whipped cream stuffed éclair... Our only regret was to be too full to try the rocky road ! They also sell a variety of vegan processed food and drinks, as well as some Tshirts and tote bags. The place itself is small but cozy, and the staff is very nice. Highly recommended !

Great little cafe. - Edit
Easy walking distance from Kings Cross. Extensive menu. I went for the donner kebab wrap. The spiciness rating of 3 on the Vx spicemeter, was just right for lunch. Fresh salad on the wrap complemented the seitan based protein.
