Perfect place for all your vegan needs

Great little store with a huge variety of vegan products... Including small vegan brands from other cities across India that you won't find in regular supermarket chains. I buy my weekly supply of soy yogurt, oat milk and tofu from here. They have everything from plant milks, cheeses, ice creams, Indian sweets, chocolates, dessert, packaged food such as noodles, biscuits, snacks, etc.; cosmetics, household products, eco-friendly personal hygiene products, wallets, etc.

Pros: The widest range of vegan products under one roof, Vegan cafe attached to the store, Home delivery available

Cons: Small space :D, Car parking isn't easy outside

Vegan Cafe, and an all vegan store right next to it

Amazing food. Any Non vegetarian would be stunned eating their mock meats. The ambience is cozy and calm.

Pros: All Vegan.

Yum. What a treat after traveling through India, coming to find out it was the first fully vegan restaurant in India. Owner was nice and expressed his love for veganism.
The mock meat stick: delicious, great value at only 50r, it literally tastes like char shrimp.
Seekha kabab (not spelled right): these were tasty, like crab cakes in a way.
Tandoori burger: delicious, the sourdough bun was amazing. Really yummy.
Chilli chicken or chilli spice something chicken: was really tasty, brings you back to American Chinese fast food. However, it's only the mock meat itself, it would have been amazing over a small bed of rice, maybe a couple small pieces of pineapple to set it off. Anyways it was really good. All around good stuff.

Pros: Very good.

Cons: On the + side for budget traveler but it's a must

Amazing food and friendly service

We have visited this place a couple of times now. Aside from the amazing shop next door which is packed full of difficult to get hold of vegan items, this cafe is well worth visiting in its own right.

The pizzas, which are topped with homemade cashew cheese, are incredibly good, as are the baked garlic mushrooms. The menu is extensive and we cannot wait to explore it a bit more.

The service is also extremely warm and friendly - there is a clear vegan ethos behind this place which is a must visit when in Mumbai.

Pros: Fantastic Food, Huge Menu, Friendly Service

the most amazing experience of my life

THIS PLACE WAS INSANE! The owner is amazing and I had the most beautiful time here. I had a vegan caesar salad and a few juices and my friend had some “chicken” nuggets. I cannot wait to go back 💗

Pros: all vegan, owner and staff are incredible, store attached with many homemade vegan yums

Impressive and Cheap

A small, cozy cafe, next to the organic store, with a kitten roaming around located near Khar station. I visited the place on a Sunday noon along with a non vegetarian friend and a friend who was a transitioning vegan. We ordered quite a few dishes.

The chicken nuggets were like those made by Wenky's, my non vegetarian friend said.

The chocolate milkshake was just like any other chocolate milkshake.

Personally I enjoyed the tofu sandwich, but my friends found the Sweet Lemon piece in it weird.

The Giardiniera pizza with Chicken was amazing. All of us loved it.

The best part was that they were accepting Zomato Gold. Irrespective of that, the bill was so low (it included 2 vegan protein bars my friend picked up from the organic store)

It was also pretty impressive to learn that they deliver the cafe food all across Mumbai and the store goods all across India!

The only thing that was a bit unsettling was the wait time. Not sure why it took so long to prepare the food. Perhaps they were making it from scratch.

Pros: Cheap, Lots of options

Cons: Long waiting time

Highly recommend, 100% vegan place

The owner is very nice, food is a little pricey but delicious. The café tries to raise awareness for a cruelty-free lifestyle in the Indian population. The shop next to the café sells a great variety of vegan items such as mock meats, cereal bars, supplements and plant-based milks. Highly recommend.

Pros: 100% vegan, Friendly and helpful staff

Super tasty Vegan burger, pizza, fries, shakes in Mumbai

Rare Earth - the Vegan cafe by Shammi is a nice cozy cafe and yet another 100% Vegan restaurant added to the growing list in Mumbai. It has a nice chilled out atmosphere, and the menu is pretty diverse with everything from smoothies, to shakes to salads to pasta to pizza to burgers to keema pav to chicken sticks to falooda - All Vegan ofcourse. But the winner is hands down the amazing Pizzas with finger licking cheese and freshly made pizza base, and the Tandoori patty burger was super tasty as well. And the best part is that the cafe is attached to a 100%Vegan store so one can club food with shopping! Highly recommended - do visit this place for the super awesome pizza.

Mumbai Favourite

Whether you are vegan yet or not, this cute little cafe tucked in the by-lanes of Khar is a must visit to try all the deliciousness lovingly curated by the owner, Mr. Shammi! What does being vegan mean? Simply put, vegans just don't use anything that comes from an animal- whether it is food, clothing, accessories, cosmetics, entertainment, none of that. Simple.

Vibe: 5/5
Such a lovely green corner with its own garden, bang in the centre of Mumbai is something you wouldn't come across easily. We had a brunch party here the other day and couldn't have gone any better watching the rain pouring down while sipping freshly pressed juice (chocolate shake for some)!

Food: 5/5
You'd think having items like cheese, milk shake, tandoori tikka, etc wouldn't be possible at a vegan place, but they come through with such carefully prepped recipes!
Some favourites:
Tessarosa Pizza
Cheese Omelette
Tofu Scramble
Masala Chai
Mock Sticks
Keema Pav
Kulfi- rose, pineapple, mocha wah!
(some items are not on zomato menu, ask for them!)

LFG Rating: 5/5
Everything is dairy, meat and egg free, many menu items are gluten free as well!
What is the LFG Rating? It is a measure of inclusivity that a restaurant is offering in its menu as well as ability to customise options for different health requirements.

Last Words: This cafe is an extension of India's First all vegan organic store and is a delight to be at for cheerful discussion with friends over a guilt-free meal!

Pros: Friendly, Food, Garden

Excellent One-stop Shop & Cafe

Shammi's place not only has a plethora of totally vegan and organic options which make a tangible difference to customers' health but they have also started a small outdoor cafe which I think is a good place to hangout and get some yummy food too!

Pros: Nice vibe, Multiple options, Friendly staff

Cons: Slightly expensive organic options

Lifesaver

Nice store with alot of the basic stuff you need if you want to eat healthy. Came down to mumbai and started eating the streetfoods and fruits and got quite sick. Read up a bit about the insane amount of pesticides and toxins used for the normal produce here in india and realized that was the reason i was getting sick. Decided i had to find a store with organic produce if i wanted to maintain my healthy lifestyle and went here.

Thanks Shammi. Keep up the good work

Definitely worth a visit!

Crazy ultra delicious ice cream!! Guy's i never tasted such a good coconut based ice cream before?? especially the butter scotch one.. I'm still in heaven. Its a little shop a bit hidden but uf you just follow the signs you will get there. You can also find a big selection of meat supplements and some healthy snacks. There are a lot of vegan nonfood items aswell. The Shop owner is very friendly, open, helpful and kind?you will sure not regret the visit!

Looking forward to Veganz in other cities too!

The title says it: I want to see vegan grocery stores like this in many more cities worldwide. Including North America someday.
Plenty of choice of prepared vegan foods, also fresh produce, body care products, even beer and wine. Fabulous.

Pros: choice - all vegan
