4.5/5 - Tasty and cosy! - Edit
We came here with friends on a Thursday night and it was packed! It’s a small restaurant so I would recommend booking in advance. It has a cosy feel and dimmed lighting made it feel even more so.
Read moreThe menu has a range of appetisers, small and large plates. It had a good number of dishes although I feel it could have had a little more variety (although that’s being picky, it’s still a good selection). We went for the Broad Bean Croquettes and Sticky Cashew Tofu from the appetisers menu and then for our mains we went for the Truffle Barley Risotto (small plate) and Courgette & Pistachio Spaghetti (large plate).
The Sticky Cashew Tofu was my personal favourite - it had a great rich flavour and I really enjoyed it with the cashew carrot dip! The spaghetti was also really good - a nice big portion with lots of the sauce which had a really good flavour. The croquettes were also good, with a crispy coating and tasty butter bean cream. I thought the risotto was decent - it had a pretty good flavour although I felt it could have been more truffley and the texture was on the runnier side which personally wasn’t my cup of tea.
We also tried both of their desserts - Avocado Lime Cheesecake and Chocolate Fondant & Raspberry. Both were really good! The cheesecake was a nice dense texture and had a lovely zingy taste which I really enjoyed. The fondant was also very good with again a nice dense texture and a lovely rich flavour, which contrasted nicely with the sweet raspberry sorbet.
I also tried the Pomegranate Margarita which was great!
We also used the offer on this listing which as of the date of this review (29/3/25) says “Mention HappyCow for 25% off and free dessert”! They took 25% off our whole bill (including drinks) and gave us 2 of our 4 desserts for free which was generous and saved us a lot!

KIN - Edit
Everything was really wonderful! We couldn’t pick a favorite because it was all beautiful and tasty (see photos). Such a nice place for a date night.
Read morePS- I forgot to mention HC for the free dessert and discount they’re currently running, so be sure to take advantage of that while it lasts. They seemed to be working through some kinks given they’ve recently opened, so keep that in mind and be patient and kind.

Tasty interesting vegan food - Edit
A cosy restaurant with varied menu. Courgette croquettes for starter and 3 tomato gnocchi for main, both delicious. Meat-eater husband raved about the carrot hummus but found the creamy pistachio spaghetti was very rich and filling, although tasty.
Read morePros: Small and large plates, Varied menu, Friendly service
Cons: A bit tight for space, Rather dark for reading the menu

Already reviewed on the kin cafe page - Edit
I, and many others, already reviewed Kin restaurant on their cafe page before their listings were split (finally!!). But I’ll copy it across here for reference and delete it on the other page when I next visit the cafe.
Read moreReview: been twice now and the restaurant is amazing. It is pricey (though check out 50% off on the fork website!), but really delicious. The staff are very attentive and we loved every dish. Please make the cafe vegan too!

Good vegan restaurant in Fitzrovia - Edit
I was excited to find out there was a new vegan restaurant in Fitzrovia as there aren’t lots of vegan venues in that area of London. I organised a dinner a few days back and had a nice time. The venue is intimate and cosy and had a chilled-out atmosphere . The staff were very friendly and accommodating , especially as my friend who came was a wheel-chair user. The food was good, especially the starters. We had the sticky tofu and broad bean croquettes as starters (which were both delicious ) and the aubergine and roasted cauliflower as a main. The mains were good but not as impressive as I’d hoped. My friends had the pastas. I tried the pistachio one and it was very tasty , the tomato one less so. All in all a lovely evening though.
Read morePros: Nice atmosphere , Friendly-staff , Delicious starters
Cons: Not enough variety in menu , Mains weren’t exceptional

Terrific find - Edit
Loved the food which was exactly the right mix of refined and accessible. The food was original but not bizarre, filling but not stuffy, pretty but not overwrought.
Read moreDecor and ambience are nothing special and I feel like the drink list could have used some mocktails but otherwise an excellent experience.
NB: Happy cow classifies this restaurant as vegetarian but the menu is entirely vegan
Pros: High quality food without the pretentiousness

Kin Restaurant Lunch - Edit
Excellent lunch with innovative small plates. The carrot hummus was the star! We also enjoyed the sticky tofu and cauliflower steak. If you like elevated bites based around vegetables, definitely give this place a try.

The restaurant - not the cafe - Excellent food and lovely interior - Edit
A fantastic new addition to the London vegan scene. This is the fully vegan sister restaurant of the Kin Cafe which is vegetarian (and where I’ve never been). I’ve tried to add Kin Restaurant to Happy Cow specifying it’s new but the bots have denied it twice. So I’ll post it here
Read moreThe food at Kin Restaurant is vegetables focused in a lovely atmosphere. Nice lighting and sound dampening so you can have a great conversation without straining, you can hear and the noise level is manageable.
We had three small plates/starters and two mains. Had to go for dessert as it was our first time. Flavours were balanced and preparation was ace. Service was warm, friendly and efficient.
