Amazing vegan food in Kandy

I 100% recommend this place for anyone stopping in Kandy. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind and set up a last minute room for us for 8 people! Amazing.
Everybody loved their dishes, especially the jackfruit wrap. The place itself is also very cute.

Good if a little pricey

Mushroom wrap and sweet potato fries were really nice. Also serve beer which is a bonus as many places don’t sell alcohol. Pricey as many restaurants which serve western are but that is to be expected. No toilet is inconvenient.

Underwhelming vegan food but nice to have option

Nice to have the option of vegan food in central Kandy. This place is on the pricier side but unfortunately the flavour of the food and drinks didn't match with the price. The noodle bowl was lacking in seasoning and was soggy. The mushroom wrap was nice but the sweet potato fries were soggy, cold and thin. A person who seemed to be half working there/half
friend of the owners was trying to sell us a Tuk Tuk tour which felt pushy in what should have been a calm restaurant setting. They also didn't have several items on the menu unfortunately. There is not a toilet at the restaurant, you have to walk to the one in the mall nearby.

Pros: Mushroom wrap tasty and good texture, Location, Ingredients seemed fresh

Cons: Too expensive for quality, Pushy staff, Some items need more flavour

they confuse orders - a lot

the food itself is alright, and the place nice, but they mix up so. many. orders. forget things , or bring something else etc, not only several things of ours but also other people's we observed while being there. so just make sure they dont bring you cows milk or something

Nice western style food

Nice if you want a break from the local food. Ordered Coco smoothie bowl and avocado toast, both were nice. But they were not delivered simultaneously, which I would have preferred. The seating area had a lot of flies and insects so that was not super nice.

Cosy place with decent fare and friendly staff

As far as I could see mainly western/fusion plates. The burger was very nice and filling. Nearly all dishes can be veganised. The highlight are super friendly and helpful staff. The place caters to tourists and travellers.

Great spot!

Nice vegetarian food spot with many vegan options. Smoothie bowl hasn’t the best consistency but tasted good. Also the pumpkin soup was nice.

Nice and tasty

Several vegan options of smoothie bowls, wraps and more. Has coconut milk for coffee (they prepared later homemade soy milk but didn't try it). Choco smoothie bowl was really good. There's a nice sitting area upstairs. Staff very friendly.

Refreshing smoothie bowls

We went here for brunch and really enjoyed the smoothie bowls. Lots of vegan options for breakfast and lunch. They have a good range of smoothies and juices too and iced coffee with vegan milk. They also have a branch in Sigriya.

Pros: Loads of vegan options, Smoothies, Plugs at the tables

Great food here

We had mushroom and jackfruit wraps served with sweet potato fries.
I love the mushroom/soy meat wrap so much. It’s packed with favors; sweet n’ salty.

Although the price was quite high for Sri Lanka but understandable since it is probably for tourists.

The place is clean and friendly.

Good choice of food

There is a good choice of vegan food, it was tasty. But located in a very busy and noisy place.

Good Dessert

Went for a quick dessert and was not disappointed! Had a coconut chocolate bar (cold, yay!) which was a great pick-me-up. Paid 900 LKR for it, which is pretty pricey tbh. Haven’t tried their other (savoury) dishes and the bar could have tasted fresher (felt like there was some veryyy slight curry taste to it, but maybe that’s just me haha). Overall fair and would go again, staff were amazing!

Amazing mushroom pasta

I had the mushroom pasta and it was truly delicious! The meals were clearly labbeled with vegan or vegan option possible. I wanted a milkshake but they told me there‘s no vegan option, so the staff is well informed and helpful! The only thing I didn‘t like is that you had to wait quite long for your food (but that was mentioned on the menu) and apparently if you order a burger it‘s faster.

So muss es sein!

Krach von Vögeln, Tuk Tuks und Bussen… so ist Street Food. Wenn das auch noch so lecker daherkommt, dann macht das die Seele happy. Und es gibt Bier! 🥰
Ich fand alles top: Service, Ambiente, Essen. Nicht zögern! Hingehen!

nice food nice people (staff)

I’ve got the jackfruit burger with sweet potato fries and as a dessert the whole day breakfast option smoothie bowl coco choco. accompanied by a fresh mixed pineapple juice.
Food was good and the people working there are friendly and do their best.
The restaurant is small so at primetime it’s stuffed with people and can be quite loud.

Pros: Burger , nice staff / owner , a few clearly labeled vegan options

Cons: not so much space but still ok

Just great!

We had takeaway food. Lots of flavour and very colourful. Clean and well presented. Nice vib and very kind and caring people work there. 50% of what they make in profits goes towards feeding and caring for the stray dogs, 15 in total.

Pros: Tasty food, Lovely people, Lots of options

Good burger

We were there for dinner and it was really crowded, but we had a nice little place upstairs. The burger I had was very good.

Only negative thing was that we had to wait quite long for our food and a staff member of the restaurant was a little too pushy in my opinion with asking us to come back as many times as possible and show us possibilities to get a city tour...
