Luncha nd dinner are both excellent, but as this place has gotten popular lately, expect a wait. As others have said, the seating is "intimate". The gyoza are great, the halloumi burger is excellent, and desserts are always fabulous so save room. Even my meat-easting friends love it here. read more

Honestly skip it... veggie pret across the street has better options. Slow service, cramped tables/seating, exorbitant prices... and the veggie burger wasn't even good!! First and last time at this place :/ read more

The food is really good but nothing amazing. Certainly not worth over an hour wait. Some of the people who work here are really snooty as are a bunch of the people hanging around the bar and entrance. My particular waitress was nice though. I would rather go to a salad or Asian place with vegan options than here. read more

Incredible food, best meal when I visited. Vegan

What a great vegan spot! Lots of salad options as well as comfort foods. The must get here is the polish beetroot burger. Sounds strange, but this thing packs a flavor punch. We got it with Vegan cheese and the sweet potato fries. This place does get quite crowded, so be there early or make a reservation. I would not say it's a great place for large groups. read more

Love, love, LOVE Mildred's! I can't speak highly enough about the place! My flatmate and I (both vegetarians) make it our go-to spot for girl nights and are never disappointed. The food is delicious and the service is stellar. The sweet potato fries are a staple -- heavenly! Definitely a great place to hit up in Soho for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike! read more

I am kind of torn between 3 and 4 stars here - on the one hand, I quite liked the busy and laid-back diner-style atmosphere, and I certainly left the place feeling very satisfied (if not to say stuffed). Yet, although the food was quite good, it didn't quite make the cut for saying "I'm a fan". I think I liked my appetizer best (artichoke crostini with vegan mayonaise), but the main (burger of the day) was rather average, and the sweet potato fries that I thought I had to try given that everyone seems to love them were good, but not outstanding. The dessert (chocolate truffle) was delicious again, but ultimately I was just a wee bit disappointed by the food (the main in particular). I also think that the service could definitely be better - our waiter was charming enough, but at the same time seemed distracted and not really interested in his job. The lacklustre service notwithstanding, they do make a point of adding an "optional" service charge of 12.5% to the bill (are we approaching American conditions here now?), which I definitely think is not cool. So all in all we had a pleasant evening, and the food was good, but it wasn't to fall in love with, and with the service being what it was I can't give more than 3 stars. read more

I don't know how Mildred's manages to make vegetarian/vegan food so tasty, but I absolutely adore their selection of fresh and meat-free dishes. The menu changes all the time to keep up with seasonal food trends. The wine is fantastic. My favorite dish was the butternut squash ravioli that I had one time. It's a teeny tiny place near Soho/Piccadilly and it's highly recommended!!! read more

The food is great, very tasty. The service was very bad. They ordered different plates and forgot drinks and ignored us many times. Later I heard that is quite common for places in London to have bad service... Order the icecream for dessert! read more

Went to Mildreds last night and was very excited as I've been going there for years. I've had birthdays there and had my sisters hen party dinner there before. Always had a great time... Yesterday however was a very different experience. member of staff who greeted us and gave us a table number was very aggressive when she was telling us that we had to stay outside. I waited at the bar to get a drink and the girl behind the bar took so long to serve me and my friend. Serving new people before us. I ordered a juice and asked was it supposed to be warm? (the glass was so warm, must have come out of the dishwasher straight away). Her reply - Yes!! Well, I've never had a warm juice. She asked would i like ice and slammed a cup of ice on the bar. We asked to pay on card for our drinks, and not put it on tab. (we've done this here before). She told us it had to go on our tab as if we were so stupid for asking. It was more her tone that bothered me. They were not accommodating when ordering. My friend wanted to swap her peas for broccoli and they said no. she needs to order them as a side. Our food came and portions were much smaller than i remember. looked very lack luster. My friend burger that came a a tiny place on its own and just looked pathetic. like something youd expect from a street food market, not a restaurant. My other friend had the mushroom and ale pie which was cold and had to be taken back to the kitchen. My food was just lukewarm. i couldnt even be bothered at this point to say anything. table service sucked. When we asked for a beer, the guy just walked away and didnt wait for the rest of us to request our drinks. on a positive note - kings cross and dalston staff have been lovely. Food looks great. portions look normal and are garnished lovely. Real pleasure to eat at those restaurants. Massive shame about Soho as its the original. Will not be going back. read more

this is a great place for veg and non-veg eaters alike. they serve accessible vegetarian food w/o too many meat substitutes, rather using whole ingredients to make the veg food appealing. on a thurs night, this place was hopping, and we had to wait for about 45 minutes at the bar. i already had too much to drink before i got here, so i just had a beet, carrot, ginger juice to cleanse my palette. the music in the bar was quite entertaining while we waited, too. i felt like i was in a late 80s, early 90s r&b club w/ prince, dreamgirls, and tina turner playing in the background. we started w/ the artichoke crostini, gyoza, and fig and blue cheese salad. i think my fave was the salad. the gyoza tasted like something i could buy in the trader joes freezer asle. for my entree, however, i had the burger of the day w/ a side of salad rather than fries. delish and completely filling! i could only imagine how stuffed i would be w/ fries. one friend got the risotto cakes, and the other friend got the nut roast, which was the special of the day. everything was yummy. if i could eat like this everyday, i suppose i could be a vegetarian. by then, we were too stuffed to have dessert, altho the sticky toffee pudding would have probably hit the spot. read more

See, now this is why I love Yelp so much! I read Alex S (OG) review of MIlreds the other day and have been dying to take my veggie mate there ever since. So today, I did. I also went for Alex's recommendation of the large basil and mozzarella cake which was pretty much the tastiest thing I've had in my mouth for some time. Even thinking about it again now is getting me a little restless. They also do fresh Mint tea which was amazing! It is safe to say...this is not the last time I will be at Mildreds. I want to try everything on the menu. All at once. read more

Im not a vegan but the food was amazing. It was my first experience eating vegan. A friend and I went at 6pm it was quite busy. We waited for 15 mins although they said it would be 30. We ordered the dumplings and avocado and the curry as a main dish. Oh wow! They were good. Quite cramped inside and little space left to move around. read more

Delish veggie/vegan food with generous portions. Everything we ate was so flavorful and savory, meat never crossed our minds. The staff were SUPER fun, attentive, and did a very cheery "happy birthday" song for my friend whose birthday we were celebrating. There is a wait even for weekdays so get there early! read more

We came on a Saturday and had to wait over an hour, but the cocktails at the bar were delicious, and the wait passed quickly. This is one of the few places I can go as a vegetarian and find too many menu options to choose from. I ate until I was stuffed, and everything was wonderful. read more

The food here was lovely. The service left a lot to be desired. We tried quite a few dishes and each one was a delight. The space is quite small and the place smelled of the cigarettes from outside ( not the restaurants fault, but still very annoying). If you want a vegetarian meal then Mildreds is a good bet. They also have gluten free and vegan options. read more

Amazing vegan food! Everything on the menu is vegan unless marked that it is not. The Soul Bowl was flavorful and fresh, and the service was quick. If you come at peak lunch time you may have a short wait because the space isn't huge. read more

Friend from London recommended this place. Good food, drinks and vibe! The place was packed when we got there (Friday night). We had to wait for a bit, about 30 mins. Totally worth it, you can wait at the bar having 5* cocktails or other non-alcoholic drinks. The food is awesome with pretty reasonable price. read more

Vegetarian or non vegetarian...you will love this place. They offer vast selection of dishes that will make everyone happy. And vast majority of them is glutten free. read more

I've been to Mildred's a few times - the first being 6 years ago - and it is still the best vegan food in London. It's gotten hugely more popular (and crowded), but for good reason. You can't make reservations so if you show up on a weekend night expect to wait at least an hour. You can have a drink at the bar while you wait; my aperol spritz was refreshing after a full day of sight-seeing. I ordered the mushroom and ale pie with chips and mushy peas. As an American, I just can't understand mushy peas. But if one must eat them, these are a fine representation. The chips were perfect and the pie was very good. It's not the best dish I've had at Mildred's, but very good nonetheless. Dessert stole the show. It was a mixed berry polenta crumble. It tasted nothing like the polenta I know, and complemented the berries wonderfully. The creme anglaise served in a tiny pitcher to be poured in was a slight miss. It didn't have the richness of a traditional creme anglaise, and it being vegan is no excuse. There are plenty of rich dairy substitutes; the recipe just needs to be tweaked. I'm really splitting hairs, though, as this is still the best vegan restaurant in London despite several new additions to the vegan scene. Hopefully they take it as an opportunity to up their game and make just a few minor tweaks to make this restaurant a solid 10/10. read more

Very tasty, interesting vegetarian food. I went at 3 PM, and the place was empty. No waiting equals a happy me.

This was such a fun treat! I didn't know where to grab a quick bite to eat but my friend had just the spot for us. Vegetarian was the theme but you wouldn't have known there wasn't any meat on the menu with how great the menu was! We sat outside and I actually didn't make it inside at all. Outside was cute and the service was excellent. I ordered the detox salad and beet juice :) Happy happy. I heard they do great dinners, and I will be sure to stop by here again when I'm back in town! read more

Bustling and cute atmosphere. Service is friendly but not so quick or attentive. The food menu is extensive and creative, but it didn't quite do it for me. Perhaps we just chose the wrong things but the sausage and mash was just ok, and the Ethiopian stew was alright. I did enjoy the homemade bread and olives (hard to go wrong there!). I feel like they could do the food better, with more flavor. read more

Absolutely amazing vegetarian food. I have been searching for a place like this! I personally hate all the fake meat dishes that seem to becoming so popular in vegetarian food. Mildred's focuses on bold flavors through its sauces and spices and doesn't feel the need to include the fake meat, because its vegetables and pastas can stand alone. DELICIOUS. I wish there were one in NYC or LA.... read more

Very busy but sooo worth it! Yes you have to wait at the bar - no hardship if you know in advance or you could even pop out and check out the local shops. Amazing food best Vegan place I have been to. Nice table calm and spacious upstairs after the crowd at the bar. There were four of us. We all loved the food and the desserts were to die for! Definitely recommend! read more

Mildred's hardly need another excellent review, but it certainly deserves it! Delicious inventive Veggie/vegan food, I've been several times for lunch and it's always great food, great service and a buzzy atmosphere. read more

I'm a Vegan and gluten intolerant, so in most restaurants it's easy to make a choice because there's usually only one option! But at Mildred's I actually had to give quite a lot of thought to the construction of my meal, as there's quite a few possibilities for someone like me. Been there twice - first time thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the meal - food, wine and cheerful, attentive service. Second time the service was dreadful - snappy, impatient waitresses who banged things down on the table. It's a shame when a place builds a good reputation but then lets itself down through poor customer service. Won't be going back for more! read more

Agree with the other reviewers about the rude staff. We went on a Monday night expecting it to be quiet, waited for about half an hour in what is essentially a hallway with about 15 other people. Staff couldn't care less, ignored us and constantly pushed past, then when we enquired how much longer we'd have to wait were told they had no idea and suggested we could wait outside in the cold! And when I asked why they didn't take reservations was brusquely told "that's the way we've done it for 25 years so why would we change?". How innovative... So we voted with our wallets and went elsewhere to get a seat, meal and drink immediately. read more

Was rather impressed with this place! Been hearing loads about it and went for the first time just last week. I had the tostada and ravioli to start and then we shared a veggie burger with top sweet potato fries. I also had a yummy soy/maple syrup shake which hit the spot! Slight improvement points could be made for the burger (slightly bland) esp considering how pricey it is, but that's a small niggle. Happily would return x read more

Awesome place for Vegetarian food. Wide range on the menu. The tortellini was fantastic.

Best Vegan food experienced in London! First time eating at Mildred's and highly recommend for vegans and non vegans. Atmosphere noisy and friendly. Full of energy and worth the wait. Service was great and the food was mouth watering! I ate the sweet potato curry dish after a customer recommended. Will return before leaving London! read more

I love Mildred's, if it was a bigger that would be great as it is always so busy when I go. The food is fantastic and great variety (Not just burgers) Service is ok, and the seating isn't the best but when you get such great food you can't really complain. This is definitely a restaurant I regularly attend and would highly suggest going to. read more

Delicious food with friendly service. The one downside is how popular this place is. It was packed on a Tuesday night. I had the veggie burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was magnificent and really satisfied my craving. The sweet potato fries were good, but not crispy like in the US. I can't wait to go back here and try more of their tasty offer! read more

Pretty good vegan option! Cool crowd. Very crowded in the evening so better to arrive early.

I'm definitely not a vegetarian, but I had to try out Mildred's after hearing so much good stuff about it (plus, they do takeaway and I used to live 'round the block). I was very pleasantly surprised. First, it's got a great, buzzing atmosphere due to its popularity (be prepared to wait). Secondly, the menu is extensive and includes interesting dishes that would appeal to veggies and meaties alike (risotto cake? chickpea tagine? sweet potato curry? yes, please). Third, I really liked my burger - and never even tried to compare it to a beef burger because it's just a different food altogether (it was creative, crunchy and fresh). Finally, feeling virtuous, I happily enjoyed many glasses of organic white wine. read more

i'm still thinking about the green curry i had to leave in my friend's fridge because we had to come back to the states. mmm...sure would love to finish it now! this adorable little place was something a dear friend of ours mentioned often during our stay in london, so it was fitting that our last meal was here. lucky enough they were open until 11, or we wouldn't have been able to make it. the menu was plentiful and i had a difficult time deciding, everything looked great. we got a bottle of wine and we all enjoyed our dishes. i got the dessert to go because it was past closing time. we never felt rushed though. i can't remember what i ordered for dessert, but when we got it back to our friend's place and opened up another bottle of wine, i dove into it. some sort of chocolate shell with soft chocolate inside...amazing! vegan! london is cool and i have always liked it, but the food options just may inspire us to figure out a way to live there! mildred's is definitely on that list. read more

This restaurant is a real gem in London for vegans/vegetarians. The food here is really good, and has multiple options for vegans, gluten free, wheat free, or just regular vegetarians. The veggie burger was killer, and the sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had. read more

Delightful restaurant in the heart of Soho. Great menu with rotating specials, excellent service staff. The free wifi is a nice bonus. Always one of my favorites in London. The restaurant can get a bit crowded, cramped, and noisy, but hey, you're in Soho! [Note: this place is fully vegetarian with several vegan offerings.] read more

Well I don't know if the food is any good because I did not get served having been shown to a table that was the last I saw of anybody. Nobody ever came back to take an order. I've read reviews of bad service at this place but no service is a new low And we made an effort to find this place won't bother again, shame because I was looking for a decent vegan restaurant in the area but I guess this isn't it read more

Yet another review of Mildred's is surely testament to it's popularity. Heaving most days of the week and so frustrating that you can't book. Time it right in your arrival you must otherwise it's 'a half hour to 45 minute wait' and left to stand with drinks in hand in the bar/entrance that doubles as the holding pen you will be. Lucky little me I know three of the staff that work here so I'm often through the door to take the weight off my feet and have a cup of coffee mid afternoon when things aren't quite as crazy: between services. So biased I may be but I do think this is a great little place. The atmosphere is friendly and energetic while still allowing for a relaxing meal, the restaurant area is flooded with light during daylight hours from the glazed panels in the roof and the food never takes long to arrive. And and and, thank goodness they understand about decent sized portions for your bucks. Long gone are the days of worthy vegetarian restaurants where the menu was uninspiring and limited to nutroast or nutroast. Mildred's menu has dishes inspired from all corners of the globe but best in my opinion is still the mushroom and porchini pie. Where's the gravy? Inside. It's good. read more
