Brilliant burgers

Mostly seitan based vegan burgers are extremely well seasoned and the texture is fab. Half glad we don’t live nearby because we’d be having take away much more often if we did

Loved the vegan chicken!

We ordered two vegan chicken burgers, fries and mac and cheese and everything was really good! The mac and cheese wasnt super cheesy and the bacon was more like döner meat but I didn't care. It was good regardless!

Yummy food, but too beige

Could have done with more veggies, the meat substitute was great but the cashew sauce is not cheese like

Incredible

Went for a seitan class. Food is always tasty. Tried the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and the salt and pepper fries. Their bbq ribs are my favourite!! Recommend!

Seitan wizards!!

This place has the best vegan mac and cheese I’ve ever tasted. Not to mention the burgers are amazing. It is always quiet when I’ve been in/walked past. I hope it never shuts ❤️❤️

Good but not cozy

Very tasty food, the starters were really good! Didn’t try the mains, the cafe was so cold and we were freezing… didn’t feel cozy at all.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Toilet wasn’t clean , Very cold in the restaurant , Not cozy

Delicious 😋

The burger here was amazing and the paprika fries with garlic dip were so good too. Was very full afterwards, definitely want to go back and try more.

I am moving here because of this place

I made a very long steamship journey from America to escape the insanity and get some proper vegan food. I
Ok I lied about the boat part. America is an insane place though and to be avoided if possible. I actually came here on a first date with a Welsh girl, but I digress. Our cabbie from the airport was REALLY hoping Boris Johnson gets back in as PM, and so, a day later, as I write this hilarious review, my thoughts go out to him🙏🏻. Namaste, amigo. ANYWAY, Herbivorous is AWESOME! located in a really cool part of Manchester called Withington, it is a small cafe, bright and pleasantly decorated. My date and I arrived early, so we read the very delicious-sounding menu and were hungrily licking the windows like a bunch of crazed lesbian zombies when the understandably worried wait-staff reluctantly granted us entrance at the opening bell. I had a Philly Cheese Steak, served on a bun which had no right to be THAT tasty, and my adorable Welsh date🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️💋 had some “chicken” over a bed of fries (chips, I think y’all call em here😉) and slathered in a spicy yummy sauce. I am saying SPICY YUMMY because I left my thesaurus on the boat and those are good adjectives in any case, what? The place is not open for breakfast, but that’s ok as there is another placed across the street called “fuel cafe” which has vegan breakfast and coffee on offer. In short, this place ROCKS, and I will likely move to Manchester based on the quality of their food. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to catch a train to Cardiff. 🚆. thank you for being vegan i love you for it🐷🐮🐣🐝🐟❤️

Pros: fair prices, drinks for those who imbibe, YUMMY

Cons: nothing comes to mind

Feeling the vibes

A sumptuous meal of a very generous size made filled us with not only delicious food but a sense of fulfillment at what a great place like this is doing right, from the ground up.

Pros: Almost all products made in house, Very friendly service from very diligent staff , Great vibe from music to media

Cons: Food was a little over salted but fine, The menu is not super extensive

Great place!!

I loved everything about Herbivorous; the staff, the plants, the decor and most importantly the food! I got the wings and fries which were so tasty! My boyfriend got the seitan Phillycheese steak sandwich, I also tried a bit of this which was equally as tasty - the seitan had so much flavour!

Pros: Amazing vegan options , Helpful staff

One of the BEST vegan restaurants in Manchester !!

This place is the bomb digggg.. we went here with my mum for her birthday and all loved it. Place is a whole vibe, really colourful and vibrant. The staff are super friendly & the food is amazing. We had the loaded Mac and Cheese, literally the best Mac and cheese ever !! The ribs on top were so so tasty. The big Kahuna burger which had pineapple and teriyaki on, the pretzel bun was unbelievable, patty cooked to perfection, with undeniably fresh salad and sauce which complimented to a T. Everything you would want in a burger that you didn’t know you wanted until you bit into it. Also had the philly loaded fried which were really good however a bit to many fries with not enough topping / sauce so the ratio was off, more topped as opposed to loaded. All food was piping hot and fresh to death. To finish we had the pecan pie & Mississippi mud pie, both good but it was the Mississippi that took the win, people need not leave without trying, wow !! Absolute 5 star.

Okay

Didn’t personally love the food but the location was cool and others seem to like the food so this place is still worth checking out. You can order food from a QR code to your table which is great

Delicious

Ordered loaded fries (cheesy and spicy) both really nice. Home made cashew cheese sauce was very tasty.
Minted ‘lamb’ burger was also very good. Tasted fresh and not too greasy as some burgers can.
Tasty succulent chicken burger too. Great addition to Withington.

Pros: Varied menu, Fresh food

Cons: None

Full of flavour healthy "fast food"

Loads of typical fast foods made vegan and healthy such as a range of burgers and chicken wings, even philly cheese steaks. I highly reccomend the Big Kahuna Burger and Crab Fritters, very flavourful and filling and the sauces are amazing, theres any sauce you could want. The plates and plant pot decor is so cool and you can't miss the brightly painted building. Also super great paprika fries 🥵😍🌶

Pros: Everything totally vegan, Main street of withington, Large portions

Cons: Small tables and chairs

great quality vegan food

The food was really good - well seasoned and wholesome. Stand out for me was definitely the paprika chips - super crispy and delicious. I also loved the crab fritters, all the sauces were incredible.

I also tried the lamb burger, kahuna burger, and the chicken noodles!! All were great - only thing i wasn’t a fan of was the white bread buns and inconsistencies in portion sizes (chicken burger was a lot bigger than lamb for example)

Great place, lovely waitress and would definitely recommend if in Manchester :)) 👍💛

Pros: Tasty, PAPRIKA FRIES !!, chilled atmosphere

Cons: Inconsistent portion sizes
