(How one can be Grumpy McGloom at Borough Market, the foodie market of joy and glee, is just beyond me, but whatevs. Their loss of free dollops.) So I told them that I was smiling because I was exceptionally excited to try all of their vegan goodness, beany gluttony and lacto-veggie lurv that I had read so many wonderful Yelp reviews of. They then told me they knew all about Yelp and religiously read their reviews. Which made me smile even more. Thus proving my point that Yelp is the circle of life, ultimately.

My espresso was good, but my açaí bowl had zero fruit in it, and basically looked like soup. I've had hundreds of açaí bowls it's one of my favorite foods ever, and this place was just very underwhelming. My açaí bowl had zero fruit toppings, and felt like soup with rocks of ice in it. Super clumpy yet soupy just plain wrong. I left the whole thing. My husband ordered salmon toast and it has a little strip of salmon the size of half a pinky finger. I'm a chef myself and I know that minimal presentation is cute and key but this was just a sad toast. I love the menu and decor but please work on your execution of recipes

This place is cute, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. I waver between 2 and 3 stars because…read moremy food was ok, but my friend's was nearly inedible. I had porridge with nuts and dried fruits on top, and it was exactly as it sounds. It was a huge portion, especially for the price/location, and it was so filling that I didn't even finish. My friend had waffles with a house-made hazelnut-chocolate spread. It might have been ok except that the waffles were not heated all the way through, so they were tough and chewy. The guy that made our order looked like he might have had a little too much fun the night before, so that might have been the issue, but he did put the waffles through the toaster, so it might also be a hardware issue. Whatever it was, my friend did her best but eventually gave up on the unappetizing waffles. The espressos were good, though.

The couple (not sure if they're actually a couple or just work together) were very kind and the service was excellent. I wish I wasn't leaving town because I'm told the porridge is awesome. Next time!

The moment I step in, one of the staff explained the concept of Tibit to me. Items are clearly labelled. Because I was there around breakfast time, I did not get a chance to see the lunch and dinner options. With that said, I really enjoyed the vegan "sausage" roll (1.60 pound). It was flakey on the outside and filled with delicious UFO (unidentified filling option). I commend Tibits for their plant-based ingenuity.

I went here for the first time about a month ago…read more LOCATION: This location is right off of Regent Street and fairly nearby Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus. 4/5 ATMOSPHERE: The atmosphere was pretty great. It was clean and roomy, and I liked the overall vibe. 4/5 SELECTION: It's all vegetarian (but they have labels for which are vegan, along with some other allergy notifications) and it's like a hot food bar, where you put whatever you want on a plate and then they weigh it, and you pay per 100g. There are 40 different dishes offered daily, including salads, hot dishes, and desserts. They also have drinks and cocktails. 3/5 WHAT I GOT: From what I remember/can see from my picture, I got white rice, mixed greens, bok choy, a grilled veggies mix, a green beans mix, a potatoes and peas mix and some of an artichoke dish. All of the stuff I got was vegan. It was all pretty good and tasted fresh and of good quality -- in fact, it was probably the best buffet/hot food type bar I've ever been to. None of it tasted like it'd been sitting out for a while, and none of it was undercooked or tasted too processed. The only complaint I have is that I wish they refrained from using oil, but it actually could've been much worse, so that's that. 3/5 SERVICE: The employees seemed friendly. I mean, we didn't really need to interact with them much, given the style of eatery, but they seemed nice lol. 4/5

We shared the kimchi gyoza and it's the perfect bite. The flavours are on point in addition, I ordered the Mexican enchiladas and my friend ordered the skewers and honestly? It deserves its own fan club. Rich, vibrant, and packed with flavours! They were so good! It's unbelievable that it's all vegan. For dessers, try the crème brûlée and the white chocolate tiramisu it's the best!! Mildreds is just awesome! That's it! You're not going to regret dining here. Loved it l. Our server was super helpful with recommendations. I think that Mildreds is a must whether you're vegan, veg-curious, or just someone who appreciates good food. Highly recommend

Thought about giving this place a 3 because of the rather young woman who was not very nice when…read moretrying to usher me out the door...she was snappy with some customers outside as well. Clearly feeling overwhelmed. Placed an online order that was projected to be ready at 8:10 pm. I got there at about 8:15pm and the woman that greeted me was pretty calm cool and collected even though the place was JAM PACKED- with several people waiting outside to pick up delivery orders or waiting to be seated. She was multitasking for sure- taking orders at tables, dealing with Uber Eats folks, as well as people coming in for a table, and me picking up my online order. It was a bit of chaos but she said to give her 2 mins. I said I'll give you 5 trying to be cool because she was working hard. About 13 mins later a young woman (20s or so) came over and asked me to step outside. I politely told her 'that woman' (pointed in the nice lady's direction) said I could wait here, so I'd rather stay here to get my order. Based on her facial expression and the fact that she went to another employee to obviously complain about me - I wasn't going to budge - and get sent outside to be forgotten about. My order was given to me by the nice woman about 8:45pm- 35 mins after the time stated online. A bit aggravating for sure but thanked the nice lady for being so nice. Speaking from my personal and professional experience people can generally forgive a lot of things if the person they are dealing with is nice. All that to let you know that my family and I thought the food was pretty darn good. I will definitely get the chicken wings again as they were cooked perfectly and with just the right amount of crispness to them.

The restaurant is set up very neat. I loved the decor of the place. The thai tea was not overly sweet or bitter. We also had veggie spring rolls that were so crispy!

We have been back in the US now for 2 weeks and we are still talking about this place! Can't wait for our next trip to London so we can visit again!

Fresh flavors that taste like home…read more While visiting London we stopped at 222 Veggie Vegan. This is a small cozy restaurant, with a menu that has something to satisfy everyone, from salads to stir-fries, to burgers. We tried a variety of dishes during our visit, and each dish was full of flavor with a homemade feeling. Additionally, portions are decent and dishes go for around 12 pounds. So if you are in London, and want a meal that is full of flavor, that feels like eating in the comfort of home, 222 Vegan is an excellent choice for the price. My Criteria 5 stars: The best food I have ever had, or an excellent option given the price. 4 stars: Good food, a restaurant I look forward to trying again. 3 stars: Good food, a restaurant that I am indifferent to. 2 stars: Below average experience, will not go again. 1 stars: This restaurant should be closed.

We had the hummus with harissa, baba ganoush, labneh with garlic confit (starting to drool), laffa bread, oyster mushroom skewer, halloumi with honey, smashed cucumber salad, falafel, and potato latkes with toum. Ironically, the one thing I wouldn't order again is the oyster mushroom skewer, and that's what they're most known for. Give me one of the dips and laffa bread for any breakfast/lunch/dinner and I'll be happy.

Least favorite was the chicory and watercress with pickled grapes. All 4 of the desserts were good and a bit unique with trying and sharing in a group.

They did let us know they had another reaervation coming in within the next 5 min but they still had two empty tables and we were just working on our desserts.

Wild food cafe is a place where you would want to go to relax unwind and honor the food you are eating. All of their food is organic and wild crafted. I was in a 5 star restaurant but for half the price. They are very creative with their dishes and it's also affordable. I ordered: from favorite to least fav. 1. Grilled butternut squash bruschetta- If you are crazy about butternut squash you have to get this. 2. Apricot spiced hummus - hummus done the right way, very tasty 3. Ayurvedic super salad - So many flavors in one dish and extremely healthy 4. Chickpea tofu salad - Not a fan of tofu, but I could eat this again Dessert 1. Wild banoffee pie - melts in your mouth and is so light and delicate, kind of like a toffee creamy flavor. Please see Instagram: @brandyespi for more food reviews all around the world.

The food is decent - I always seem to get something disappointing, but it's moderately good. It feels like it's getting more expensive though, as my husband and I spent £12 and 15 (respectively) the other night, and it wasn't exactly piled high (I was still slightly hungry afterwards), and that was without drinks, bread, or dessert. They also have changed dinner drinks ordering to where they give you a plastic card as your tab. You weigh your plates at the till as normal, but instead of ordering drinks there, you have to do so at your table. (They won't even let you order at the till - they instruct you to go back and order from the table.) It's needlessly complicated for something that should be a simple concept.

Finding Tibits was exciting since they had a huge selection of items we could both eat and the food was delicious! I was so thrilled to have so many options that I filled two plates and finished them both! My husband and I returned the following night for more! If you have food allergies you will be excited at the spread at this restaurant. If you don't have food allergies or restrictions, you will be surprised at the amazing flavors the restaurant has evoked from the food! My biggest revelation here was the "egg" salad. I have an egg allergy and haven't touched egg in about 10 years. Egg salad is one of those things that I really miss and Tibits nailed the flavor and texture. They used a spice I hadn't heard of prior (Kala Namak) to get the sulfurous flavor of the egg and it was spot on!
