Wonderful. Food

With a tour group (16) so they gave us a preplanned menu. Couldn’t have been more blown away by the incredibly varied and amazing tastes of the 4 different “stews” we were given: African (my absolute favorite), Dahl, green curry, and “Chilly sin Carne”. They were accompanied by rice, and numerous fresh toppings. Then came dessert, with three offerings for each of us: a chocolate dipped bon bon with a nut paste center, a fruit topped peanut butter pie, and the “orgasm” (I kid you not), a berry topped cheesecake to die for!

Pros: Food, Ambience, Staff

Looks nicer than it tastes

We were here for a late lunch. I'm general the food looks very nice but itbtastes quite bland.
I ordered the rainbow sallad, they forgot the strawberries on it. When asking the staff, they seem confused whether there actually should be any on it. They came back with some chopped up in a tiny bowl. The soup of the day was also served in various sizes, so a bit uneven.

Delicious

We tried the west African and the chili bowls, and the naan. Both soups were delicious. The bread was also good but not really naan.

A Reykjavik must!

I went here a while back, and loved the soup and juices that I had! (I couldn't decide, so I ordered 2!) Get cake for dessert, any of their cakes!!

Decent food, not the best experience

When I got there, the lower level was mostly taken up by a large group. There were a couple of empty tables but I was told I couldn't sit there and taken upstairs. The upper level only has small tables that are knee height, meaning you're expected to eat a saucy curry dish while hunched over the table trying not to drip on your clothes. I found this extremely uncomfortable and asked the waitress if I could move to a slightly higher table that was empty, at which point she became cold and unfriendly.

TBH this place is quite expensive even by Reykjavik standards, and I would have expected a much better dining experience.

That said, the food was pretty good. I had the African stew which was delicious. The garlic naan was good but a little burnt. The "Orgasm" cheesecake was okay... served half frozen, so not quite orgasmic.

Probably wouldn't go back.

Just go and eat!

This laid back and friendly place is perfect to hang especially after a long flight and no sleep, OR walking around town and looking for great food that will please the entire gang.
Loved the salad, soup… everything. Portions were good. The flavors are tasty and fresh. They have hot sauce and other condiments to spice it up how you like. They have different coffees, drinks and beer and wine.
The smoothies are awesome.
Being in the middle of the tourist area, you can get public transportation nearby. Our rental apartment was a 15 minute walk. WE WILL EAT HERE EVERY DAY WE’RE IN REYKJAVIK!!

Amazing food and a wonderful atmosphere

My 11-year-old daughter and I absolutely loved this place! The food was not only delicious but also healthy and uplifting. We had Dhal à la Mama, West Africa, and Hummus & Friends - each dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully prepared. Hummus & Friends was our favourite. We could truly taste the quality and care that went into every bite.

The atmosphere was so calming, and the staff were incredibly kind and peaceful, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It was such a relief to step into this space and just relax. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great vegan restaurant!

Pros: Atmosphere, Kind staff, Healthy & tasty

This restaurant needs to be a mandatory stop when in Reykjavik

Oh my this was a tasty experience. After dithering for what seemed hours, I decided on the Africa Stew, naan bread and a take home cheesecake. Go every day if you can and try something different #Veganuary

Wellness with every mouthful

Loved our curry and stew in Mama in their wellness loft space in downtown Reykjavik. Such a beautiful space. The food was sensational exactly what we needed after a day at sea whale watching.

Pros: Mama Curry was our favourite , Beautiful atmosphere

Buoni piatti vegani

Abbiamo cenato qui la prima sera e siamo rimasti soddisfatti. Le scelte non sono tantissime (motivo per cui non siamo tornati successivamente), ma i piatti sono abbondanti e gustosi. Il costo per un piatto principale (dahl, curry, etc) era di 3390 isk che corrisponde a circa 23 euro. Può sembrare tanto, ma in realtà non lo è perché innanzi tutto la porzione è enorme, inoltre il costo include già coperto e acqua.

Buonissimo il loro Golden milk.
Accoglienza educata, ma molto distaccata, cosa che di solito non succede nei locali vegani.

Pros: Piatti gustosi , Porzioni abbondanti, Location molto carina

Cons: Accoglienza molto distaccata, Poca scelta

Comfort food

The curries all sounded good; I eventually opted for the dal and my partner had the mama curry. Portion sizes were great and the extras on top were nice (chutney, nuts and tomatoes on mine). I would have preferred a sandwich but unfortunately they were all crossed off the menu.

Pros: Fully vegan

Cons: Expensive for Reykjavík standards, Full menu not available

Best vegan spot in Reykjavik

We ended up eating here every day on our trip, because nowhere else came close to providing a healthy vegan meal with a largely gluten free menu. Literally tried everything on the menu by the end. Ambience was also great. Highly recommend.

Rico pero pequeño

El menú es chico y hay poco para elegir pero están muy bien. El sazón es delicioso y el servicio muy bueno, solo lo sentí pequeño para el precio

Pros: El lugar, El sazón

Cons: Las porciones

So. Good.

Everything, even if it doesn't sound appetizing, is so good. So. Good. Get the garlic naan no matter what you order.

All vegan, warm comfort foods

Delicious food. They were out of the garlic naan, but they fried up some sourdough bread with garlic for us and it was delicious. Excellent hot drinks too. A little tricky to find -- the restaurant is on the second floor at the end of a courtyard. Cozy space with lots of natural light and soothing music. Casual, laid-back atmosphere. There is a community gathering space next door (also upstairs), White Lotus Venue, that hosts interesting events.

Pros: All vegan!!, Stews are hearty and delicious , Cozy space with lots of natural light

Cons: Expensive, but normal prices for Iceland, Service can be a bit slow

Everything was perfect!

Service is personal. Venue is quaint. Cool vibe. Food was excellent. Rainbow salad. Mama Curry. West Africa. Hummus & Friends. Each was just right. Enjoy!

P.S. They have a few dishes which are SOS free as well.

A good option in Reykjavik

Given the small size of the menu I was a little disappointed when two items (it would be the two we came in for) were not available (including one of the 4 mains), however the curry I did have was excellent so we still enjoyed our dinner. Place has a nice chill vibe and a central location.

Fwiw to others they said it was due to independence day on Monday affecting supply
