Food was great, but the team were run off their feet as there were only 3 waiters and the restaurant was really busy with people going to the Roundhouse gig (sat night). They had run out of some food and wine and the team were so busy that we had to wait a long time to get our food and drinks order in and we gave up on dessert as our order had obviously been forgotten! Go, but not on a Saturday night pre-gig!!

Great cocktails, reduced menu on the night but the chef had kindly rung in advance to inform us. Had a couple of light bites which were very tasty. Good meeting point prior to going to a gig at The Roundhouse.

Lovely place, very quiet Wednesday evening. They had not received open table reservation!!! So we could sit anywhere. Possibly there would have been a problem Friday or Saturday. The kitchen closed at 9 pm we were not told so no dessert. Also had run out of fresh orange juice, excuse we are open for breakfast! Having said that I’d definitely go again and look forward to live music (none on Wednesday’s). Definitely double check everything before going.

I’m a regular here, tried Bao Buns for first time and were great and if you fancy teas, they have some great, unusual speciality teas so do ask for the waiter to tell you what they have!

My previous visit was amazing, however sadly this time the food wasn't as good. Maybe due to it being a Monday and not busy at all but the standard and quality of the food just wasn't the same as the previous visits. Service was excellent as always and the team are super friendly and helpful.

Went for a late dinner, and even if the kitchen was closing soon, everything was delicious and was served very quickly. Service was impeccable and would recommend to anyone who would like to have a nice plant powered meal.

Lovely restaurant, a good choice of starters(loved oyster mushroom skewers!) , mains and drinks, staff were friendly. However risotto I had was average, there was a lack of dessert options and also staff could have been more attentive (restaurant wasn't busy, but nobody came to ask if we need any more drinks /dessert etc). Overall experience was good, but not sure if I'd come back again.

First time visit and very pleasantly surprised. The venue was quiet - but it was a very early supper around 3.45pm - the service quick, the food tasty and the price very reasonable. If in the area again will revisit. Thank you

This is not a restaurant, we went with the idea of a vegetarian meal. Instead found a club with loud music and ranges of cocktails with plenty of people drinking (a lot!) but no one eating. The attitude of the bar person was arrogant and the place was deafening, not my idea of a restaurant at all! We left and definitely won't return, can't review the food as we wouldn't stay to eat, although the barman said when I remarked on the fact that no one was eating " The food is good here" it was aggressively stated! I do not expect DJ's and mixing desks at a place advertised as a restaurant!

I love the food there but this evening we booked a table for 20:30, got there on time and they told me the kitchen was closing. I stated I had a reservation and they said there was nothing in their system- I showed them the confirmation email but they said there was nothing they can do. I asked at what time the kitchen closes and got an answer “between 20:30 and 21”, which doesn’t make its either one or the other! And if you commit to booking a table you can’t just send your customers away. They did offer a discount at a dinner at another time but there were no big apologies, like it wasn’t their fault. Really disappointing.

Very impressed that there is a vegan restaurant in the heart of Camden that focuses on good food you can eat (as opposed to constant junk food). The atmosphere was good but the minimal front-of-house staff meant constantly waiting and chasing between courses. The food made up for it though - really good! Will definitely go back.

Starters were good, (gyoza and arancini) but the main (lasagna) was bland and overcooked, definitely could do with seasoning and a crisper top, tasted like it had come out of the microwave (which I hope it didn't!). I waited for the server to ask how the food was to pass on the feedback but that never happened, infact the only interaction with the staff was the order and ask for the bill. Not a great experience.

The food was great and the service good for a dinner reservation. The only negative was the loud music being played out of the multiple speakers and downstairs was an open mic session and also very loud, making for a noisy experience overall. There should only be one music set being played at any one time.

Overall decent experience. The food was relatively inexpensive and the bottomless brunch was a pretty good deal. The service was a little inconsistent and the waiter was not knowledgeable about the menu or pricing. Additionally all of the plants in the restaurant attracted a lot of flies which we frequently found in our drinks. Would not recommend if you have serious seasonal allergies as the plants were really setting off some members of our party.

- Great, friendly service with plenty of checking back on our table - Food was good and plentiful (large portions!) - Lots of great flavours and variety on the menu - Nice laid-back setting which wasn't too busy - nice jazzy ambient music - My only gripe was the texture of the vegan "schwarma chicken" in the burrito was a little soft

Went for my mum’s birthday as it’s one of my favourite places and keen to share great vegan food. As usual, I wasn’t disappointed. Service was a bit slower than usual as think was a bit busier but food very good. Burger and huevos rancheros still my favourites!

Incredible vegan food in a beautiful place with greenery everywhere! Went on a Wednesday as they have a jazz band playing, who were incredible but meant it was a little hard to talk. Didn’t have any of the cocktails which looked amazing, so will have to come back soon!!

Nice food but nothing amazing. I had the burrito and it was all just fake chicken, no veggies or any other flavours in it. The other guests enjoyed their food too but none of us were blown away. I would go again because I like supporting new vegan restaurants but maybe better for cocktails and a catch up rather than really amazing food.
