Weird but cool vibe. Good drinks but food really not impressive.

We had to wait rather long taking into account just 1 other couple present. The menu was maybe too long. What we finally ordered was dry and quite tasteless.

Service questionnable but we enjoyed the experience

We arrived early so got served fairly quickly but as dinner wore on, the service got frustrating for many who left. If you're ready to relax then accept the slow wait for drinks and food. They are one of a few places in Belgrade that do traditional food vegetarian and vegan.
We got the vegan cevapi with vegan tartare sauce and wedges. Could have done with a lot more sauce but was a nice effort at a traditional dish.
Got a burger as well which was really nice with saucy mushrooms.
The starter was recommended and was soup of the day which was a watery goulash type soup with potato, carrot, chickpeas and seitan inside and was incredible.
The decor inside is unique and quirky and would be great to have a drink there.
We paid about £40 for 2 starters, 2 breads, 2 mains, 1 beer and 2 rakia shots.

Weird vibe, unimpressive food

When we arrived, the waiter (owner?) didn’t greet us with a smile or any welcome gesture and throughout our visit he didn’t smile once, very weird dude. The restaurant is situated in a dark side street next to a place that serves meat, so you can smell meat when you sit outside. We ordered vegan cevapcici and it tasted nothing like cevapcici - very dry and almost without taste. Overall unpleasant experience.

Cons: Unfriendy waiter, Below average food

Good food, friendly staff

Good vegan food in Serbianis hard to find and Mayka is serving it. It is all cooked and prepared in the kitchen so not every meal will be served at the same time. But take your time, share your food with your friends and enjoy the people walking by or the interior.

Pros: Good vegan food, Friendly staff, Location in center Belgrade

Cons: Bit slow, but hey! Don’t hurry!

Good taste

The food was good, the place is nice. But I choose a cury and come with just a little rice and I ask more and they charge almost half price of the plate for extra rice.

Service à revoir

Service tellement antipathique que je soupçonne le patron d’être le frère de celui du resto végétarien se trouvant à Pariska 3 ;)
Le plat était bon.

Great food

Really good food, cosy place. The staff is nice. Had the raw special platter and a mint tea, highly recommend. If you order cooked food it takes a long time to wait though, around 35-40minutes.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Everything is homemade, Great food

worst food ever

I can't understand all of those good opinions. This restaurant was clearly my worst vegan experience so far. so called vegan meat is uneatable-without any taste and rubber-like. their hummus is also really bad, you can easily make better at home. moreover we bought still water, but it turned out it was faked bottle with tap water inside with chloride taste.

Cons: expensive, low quality, not tasty at all

And I don't understand bad reviews. It seems like we all went to two different places. We had the most welcoming experience today with amazing food. And I have been visiting vegan restaurants all over the globe so not my first one.

Unique restaurant with interesting food

I liked the decor of this cool restaurant, it has a very special vibe, very artsy and unique. About the food I can't say much as I ordered the vegan fish'n'chips and it was ok but merely a starter. I wanted to try some of my husband's curry but it was so spicy, I don't know how he could eat it!
Later i regretted not ordering a "steak" or a burger as I am sure it would be much more satisfying and tasty. I would definitely come back to this restaurant and try more of their food since it has such good reviews. (I would just make sure to ask about the spiciness of the dish beforehand!)

Pros: Nice decor, Interesting menu

Cons: Waiter could've warned us that it's is very spicy

Very delicious

We chose the "Belgrade Steak" and it was very good. I can absolutely recommend it, altough it could have been a bigger portion.

Pros: nearly every option is vegan

Cons: we waited for quite a while

An amazing vegan experience in Belgrade

I don't know why people in the comments say that the staff is rude. I've been here many times and every time it was such an amazing experience! There're so many options to choose from, and I was never disappointed with my choice. The owners are nice people, they even gave us recommendations about the city and were willing to answer all our questions. One of the things that I'll miss from Belgrade would definitely be Mayka!

Great food

Many vegan options, home-made drinks (lemonade with mint and elderflower is great), nice outdoor space with palm trees, and always nice warm welcome.

Great Vegan Food

A rather tasty restaurant where almost everything is vegan, although sadly a couple of dishes are not. Serving sizes are huge, and you can try a lot of traditional Serbian cuisine.

Best Vegan I Have Eaten

Truly, and this is not said lightly, I live in California so I know good vegan. This is inspired.
The uniqueness and creativity of flavor and presentation set this place as my new favorite vegan eatery. I had the simple soup and loved the nuance of the subtle ginger, the fish and chips the zucchini was cooked perfectly. The chickpea chic was the star of the meal and the seitan had a layer of flavor that rivaled its inhumane counterpart. In reading the reviews there are comments of a rude staff. I did not encounter this at all, true artists don’t need to overcompensate. Let the food speak for itself.

Pros: Unique Dishes, Flavorful, Location

Not satisfactory

The main problem with this venue is that the staff is so unpleasant. The older guy keeps yelling at everyone and he is even rude to guests. When we came in he was yelling at some girls to came in to take photos and he kicked them out (?)
The food is mediocre and not very good quality for the price, which is a shame since the location of the bar is very convenient. On the other hand, even if the price/quality ratio were any better, I'd still choose against coming back here, because of the weird atmosphere and the owner's attitude.

Cons: Rude staff and owner, Bad price/quality ratio, Smokey in the winter

Better than expected!

I tried a variety of dishes:

The miso ramen was decent but the Thai soup needed more salt

The paneer and masala samosas were amazing. The crust was bordering on delicious pie crust. Flaky and, dare I say, buttery

The steak wasn’t my jam but the goulash was among the better goulashes I’ve tried across Hungary, Czechia, Austria, and here, and was the first decent attempt by a vegan restaurant at the dish

Pros: Variety of options, authentic Eastern European and Balkan options, outdoor seating’s a plus during coronatime

Cons: Expensive, chairs could be comfier , Soups left much to be desired

Fake “meat” tastes the same in all dishes

Big vegan/vegetarian menu, but there was not something really interesting. Fake “meat“ tastes the same in all dishes. Prices are too high.

Pros: Big menu

Cons: High prices
