2 entrances and 1 is accessible with a Lift: food amazing! - Edit
The food is delicious, my second visit in a couple of months and same high standard. I had masala dosa, detox juice then a mango lassi.
Read moreThere are actually 2 entrances, one is on Judd St and is stairs only. The other entrance is via the main YMCA entrance just around the corner on Cromer Street and at this entrance there is a wide access lift which opens very close to the cafe. This place is now my stop off place when I'm at King's Cross, love it.
Pros: Very friendly staff, Nice vibes and decor

Warm and welcoming - Edit
Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised at the nice vibes and relaxed energy of this place considering it’s attached to a yoga studio next door. The set-up is a low key canteen-style affair which helps to create the laidback but social atmosphere of the space.
Read moreAround us, a community group was meeting and friends were catching up, which makes a nice change from the typical London cafe of heads buried in laptop screens. The staff undoubtedly play a part in this, as we were treated to a genuinely warm welcome as well as great food.
Our wraps were nourishing, tasty but not too heavy. The homemade dal and chutney on the side is a lovely bonus. With all mains costing around £9, we can’t wait to come back and try the rest!

Star of India - Edit
Absolutely love this place. Such welcoming staff and excellent Indian food. I got the masala dosa, which was cooked and spiced to perfection. Portion size was great value for money too and the accompanying daal and homemade chutney were divine. Not only that, it's just a short walk from Kings Cross station. Highly recommend.

Very tasty and a great deal - Edit
I was catching a train out of King's Cross station and checked Happy Cow for something close.
Read moreThis is a green of a place. Simple and very good food.
I had the dosa wrap - gluten free.
All of the mains are 8.95.
This was one of the best meals I have had in the UK and easily the best cost for a great meal.
The spice level was perfect. Great mixture of spinach masala and veggies.
Several of the people frequenting the place has brought some of their own food to eat and the operator seemed quite cool with that. Very respectful.

Amazing! - Edit
This is what I didn’t know I needed. I was heading to a different restaurant when I decided to make a last second switch and come here based off of reviews. I’m glad I did. It was amazing! I cannot remember the name of what I ordered but it was fantastic. The sauces were fantastic too. I also ordered some pakoras.

Delicious, cheap vegan cafe - Edit
If you're wanting some food that's unpretentious and tasty and will fill you up for not much money, Thenga should definitely be on your radar!
Read moreAll mains are just under £8 and you get a decent amount of food for that. I had the dhal, rice, vegetable side and a paratha, all for a tenner. It wasn't spicy, but was warming which is perfect for this cold weather.
There's plenty of space in the cafe, and it's not really decorated at all. Service was friendly and he even served me early because I accidentally turned up before it opened. Cheap and cheerful. I would go here again in a heartbeat.

Affordable, good food near to Kingscross - Edit
Generous portions of dhal and various curries served with rice, puri or dhosa and more. Prices are excellent for the location and food is simple but high quality. Nice cafe atmosphere with friendly staff.

The cafe is such a nice place to visit.
Read moreGreat food at good prices. I had the daily lunch (rice, dahl and curry) and my son had the puri wrap.
Both were delicious and filling.
The atmosphere is so relaxed and the staff are lovely - so nice that I’d have started all afternoon drinking tea if I’d had the time.
Pros: Great food, Great prices, Nice people

Underwhelmed. - Edit
Visited on 25/10/22 hoping for an excellent lunchtime meal. Lentils, vegetables and rice were on the menu but the quality of food served was decidedly mediocre. Lentils were barely discernible in what appeared a ‘broth’ and vegetables amounted to a limited quantity of cubed pieces of sweet potato pieces in a light oil. For a vegan eatery described as ‘excellent’ I’d expect high quality food and especially for £8. This was neither that nor nutritionally satisfying. The absence of anything green was disappointing to say the least. A large portion of boiled rice doesn’t meet the standard. I will not be returning. #Veganuary

The food is really tasty and we really enjoyed every mouthful! You must visit this place if you are in London, and it’s really close to Kings Cross station if you want to eat something nourishing and super tasty before catching a train. The staff is really lovely too. We’ll definitely be back next time we are in London.

I had a work meeting in the King's Cross YMCA today. To my amazement this place just happens to have a vegan cafe on the ground floor! I Great value and so friendly; even my staunchly non vegan workmates were impressed.
