slow delivery - Edit
Here is my own experience. I called them for ordering in take away. When a member of the staff realised i was speaking in english he hung up the phone. Then i tried 3 times more and i could not reach anyone.My lovely polish girlfriend called with her number 10 mn later and finally could made our order. An hour after, we got delivered. Surpringly because at that time we were living in Jana Pawla street too. Probably 1 km max from the restorant.

Comfort Food - Edit
While not listed on the ISKCON site (http://iskcon.org/) I'm fairly certain this is linked to the local Krishna movement. I've been to about 50 Krishna-linked restaurants (commonly "Govinda") around the world and the food is certainly what I would expect. It's a pick-your mains and sides place. There are posted plate combinations (main, soup, salad?) on the wall...in Polish. I just chose what I wanted and they quoted a reasonable price. Plant-based food. Comforting. I'm sure I'll go again.

Hearty and remarkably inexpensive - Edit
If we didn't know to be looking out for Vega, and saw a sign on the street, we would have walked right past the narrow alleyway that leads to a courtyard with Vega and a few other buildings. Vega is cafeteria style with a wide range of options, favoring Indian cuisine. The choice of cooked vegetables and salads is very wide. As an added bonus, they have brown rice, which was not something we saw a lot of in Poland, and buckwheat. The second time we were there, however, they were out of the buckwheat. The food is hearty, well-prepared and noticeably inexpensive. Vega is in an area with several other veg options, including the wonderful Vege Miasto, which is just a few blocks away and a Loving Hut, which is practically across the street. If I had to choose one, I'd go to Vege Miasto first, but, if you have time to take in several places, Vega is worth a trip.

Veggie quality milk bar - Edit
Vega is a very interesting canteen, featuring polish classics with an Indian twist.
Read moreThere's plenty to chose from, from potato and chickpea stews, different types of burgers/vegetable croquettes
and salads, which you are free to combine according to your cravings.
Most of the savoury items are vegan (not always marked but the friendly staff will inform you), some desserts are vegan too.
The portions are generous and the food is home-made style. Very healthy, tasty, quick and cheap option for both lunch and dinner.

Basically Impressive - Edit
A great place for a cheap but filling vegetarian / vegan fix. The food is ready to go, you just pick a main meal and decide what salad or side dishes you want to go with it and away you go to the cafeteria style seating area. Water is free and once you are finished please place the used dishes and cutlery in collection area. Can't really say much more than that. The food is Polish orientated with plenty of potatoes, beetroot and cabbage but it's tasty and fresh. Back in the early 2000's this was essentially the best Warsaw had to offer us vegetarians but now it's a totally different story as Poland has learned to embrace these strange people. I remember coming here and thinking, oh well if this is all that Warsaw can give us then that's fine, it will have to do. How things have changed since then! I wouldn't necessarily make a beeline for Vega again but it's reassuring that it's still there and doing well. It's a bit tricky to find the first time as it's actually behind the main street of Jana Pawla II on the block that you would expect to find it on.

Relaxed and new choices - Edit
This is a good place. I like the array of choices. The company does lots of chairty work. Does use some dairy. I like the combo of some indian and european food :) Sometimes hard to figure out price since its in buffet form but you pay for things sepretley sometimes but not too expensive at all.

A good lunch place - Edit
Only vegetarian choices of salads, soups or warm dishes. I liked it a lot and would recommend. Good portions, expect to pay around 17,5 for a whole plate.

Absolutely delish! * * * * * - Edit
Great food, friendly staff, huge variety of mostly vegan dishes. Very affordable. Warsaw is a desert veg*n-wise, but this place is a gem. Recommended by a local; look behind the 'Femina' cinema.
Read morePros: Good food, Inexpensive, Central location
Cons: Hard to think of any.

Great place for lunch - Edit
Vega is a really good value place to have lunch while in Warsaw. It has a canteen feel and is friendly and with a good variety of things to eat. It is vegetarian but the staff are happy to point out the many vegan options. I've been there several times while in Warsaw and recommend stopping by if you want a filling meal.

Cons: A little hard to find, Not open in the evenings

The Best we've found in Poland! - Edit
While staying in Warsaw for a week, we ate at Vega about 4 times after discovering it. The food is inexpensive and delicious, and fully vegetarian - which is not easy to find in Poland. The menu doesn't change much, but there is a good variety of dishes. On our second visit to Warsaw we tried a few other vegetarian places, but Vega still got our vote for the best.
Read morePros: great food, real, health, tasty vegetarian food, friendly staff who speak English

It's a good functional place but definitely not the best vegetarian food in Poland or even Warsaw for that matter
