Loved everything - Edit
I had the char kway teow and laksa Goreng. Both decent sized portions and super tasty. Has a bit of heat so be mindful and ask the staff to adjust if it's not your thing.

Much better than it looks! - Edit
From the outside Seva Cafe looks like a cheap, outdated restaurant. The pictures of the available food are desaturated and faded, as if they have been in the sun for years (which is odd, since Seva is located in a food centre). The ceiling is dirty and the open kitchen looks like a mess. Service doesn't come with a smile, but it is swift. Seva can't make change from a 50 dollar bill, so one either pays in small denominations or by card.
Read moreWhen the food arrives, it is much better than I'd ever expected from a shabby place like this. The fried rice I ordered is tasty, not oily or fatty. It is rich in ingredients and strongly spiced, as it should at an Indian restaurant. Judging by the taste and quality, I would have guessed this food came from a much classier restaurant.
Pros: food is rich in taste, generous portions, modest prices
Cons: shabby looking restaurant, dirty ceiling, messy kitchen

My favourite in the Fortune Centre - Edit
The food is fantastic here. My very favourite is the mutton curry, which comes with several of the roti options. It's a creamy version, I think Jaffna or Sri Lankan style? The roti is crispy and delicious, the curry is smooth and bursting with flavour. The vegan ginger tea and vegan Bandung drinks are also delicious, and it's so rare to find either of them without milk.
Read moreI have tried about half the menu now, over several visits with my partner. Everything has been excellent, except for one very late-ordered nasi lemak, which was a bit basic. But that's on us for getting there so late. Given so little is open in Singapore for vegans after 8:30, it was still good.

Coming for the Sweets - Edit
We only ever tried the sweets as they offer different vegan cupcakes, cakes, brownies, etc. The cupcakes are nice although their was texture isn't great. They fall apart rather quickly and the plastic is a bit too much.

Tasteless - Edit
The food here was really disappointing. Got a fried rice dish which was very bland. The noodle dish was not good, also bland and the texture of the noodles was way too soft. Much better places to visit in the fortune centre

Very good place and reasonably priced cafe - Edit
It was well after lunch, so we were hungry. Quite a few options if you are vegetarian or vegan in Fortune Centre. A small place with casual sitting.
Read moreVegan Laksa - The noodles cooked perfectly. The soup could have been a bit more spicy. The soup also had a grainy texture rather than a smoother consistency we expected. The veggies and protein was good.
The Vegan Chicken Rice - the quintessential Singaporean favourite. The rice was good, the pieces of vegan chicken was a bit dry. The pickle and green beans good. The hot sauce was again a bit mild. There was a bowl of broth/soup given which needed to be little more seasoning
The Satay Sticks - the meat part very good. Freshly fried and crispy. Well seasoned. The Satay sauce would have been nice if it was a bit more spicier and smoother.
The staff is friendly and service good. The inside is clean simple. Overall a bit more seasonings and spice and smoother textures in dips and soups would have been perfect for us.
Pros: All vegetarian menu, Most of the items are vegan
Cons: A little more smoother soups and sauces

Friendly staff - Edit
Friendly staff but I, unfortunately, did not enjoy the Laksa I ordered. I feel it didn’t really have much flavor which is a shame as laksa I’ve had in the past is very flavorful. I would certainly try other items on the menu as I’m sure other things are good.

Local Fare, Vegan Options for Bakes - Edit
Allium-free vegetarian eatery at Fortune Centre, brought to us by the team behind Hot Cakes Vegetarian! Their savoury menu is fully vegan and features tasty local fare, with some newly added dishes such as Kambing Soup. For their drinks, they have both vegan and non-vegan options, and for their desserts, the eggless cake slices contain dairy while the cupcakes are vegan (not my favourite though). Would be amazing if the eatery can be converted to being fully vegan! Few minutes' walk from Bencoolen MRT or Bugis MRT.

Fabulous Food, Cracking Coffee - Edit
I was more than pleasantly surprised by how good the food, and especially the coffee was here. Of the former, the nasi lamek provided a great range of favours and texture, the Paratha was flaky, the bee pisang was tasty and the vegan kaya toast was a wonderful bonus. I would certainly be happy to come back here a sample more from what was a varied menu.

Seva, Singapore - Edit
Server states their food is all vegan, drinks are not. While not 100%, food is mostly starch and sauce and contains little nutrition. Drinks regrettably are pre-mixed with sugar.

No worrys, the baby bovines only die when you eat their stolen milk, not when you drink it! 🤪 Vegan for the money, murder for the cows. Misusing the term seva, meaning service, not forced animal slavery.

Kaya toast wasn't for me - Edit
Admittedly I only came here to try the kaya toast and I'm not sure what I was expecting but I wasn't the biggest fan. It essentially just seemed like toast with an incredibly sweet spread inside. (Which might be what normal kaya toast is anyway) I didn't try any of their other dishes so can't say if they're good or not. Located on level 3 of fortune centre.
