Miso eggplant was sweet & piping hot. The tortillas were tasty and the vegan Eton mess had great taste/textures. The drinks orders were really slow but the cocktails were great and service v friendly
From the top and go clockwise, cous cous aubergine (must try), wild mushroom polenta (best main out of the three, great truffle aroma) and finally asparagus rotolo (it's okay, I'll say 6/10)
The courgette flowers and mushroom gnocchi were excellent. The cocktails were also a highlight. Menu changing to Autumn/Winter soon, so look forward to trying a new set of dishes.
The bunch of meat eaters sharing this meal with me loved it - especially the aubergine Schnitzel . The starters were okay, but the mains are so much better. Really creative kitchen. Have a rosemary G&T
Wild mushroom risotto cake is vegan , gluten-free and outrageously tasty. Vegan (and gf) Eton mess was a welcome surprise. Great wine selection . Nothing but love ❤️
I'm a hardcore carnivore & was a veggie restaurant skeptic until The Gate made me a believer. The Miso Glazed Aubergine is delicious, melt in your mouth goodness. The wild mushroom main is also tasty.
Get the courgette flower , aubergine and polenta chips . The summer pudding was very good, and the peanut butter brownie was alright but could have been more chocolately .
The food is so nice and the staff lovely. They have a great selection of wines and beers . I ordered Carciofini as a starter which was delicious and Cauliflower Rotolo I would recommend it.
Great vegetarian food in a lovely high ceilinged room. The brunch menu on weekends is good value – I had the shakshuka which was delicious. The potato chat starter is great too.
Desserts , from top and clockwise: orange sponge cake (too hard, not that great), Panna cotta was lovely with rosewater flavour and pear tart tartin was 6.5/10. I don't suggest desserts here.
This place has amazing vegetarian food ! Every dish we had was just great. The restaurant itself is just ok but it worth a try for its amazing food.
Great food and the options are amazing. Who would've thought you could be so creative with vegetarian dishes ? Really impressed and food just as tasty. Would definitely recommend.
the service was great& I wantd 2like the food but I didn't.I won't go bak.beetroot ravioli was not pasta but 3slices of beetroot with soft cheese inside?the mains were ok,but I could make a better. :(
Beautiful food. We had the shared mezzo platter, the aubergine main and the risotto cakes and all were lovely. Service great.
4/5 stars: Much of the food has an Asian/Middle Eastern flavour, probably because the original owners, brothers Michael and Adrian Daniel, are Indo-Iraqi-Jewish, which means lots of spicing Read more
As the quintessential carnivore, I was a bit skeptical, but the involtini starter was really yummy and tasted meaty! I did not leave hungry :)
The Halloumi Kibi is a perfect summer dish, while the Huevos Rancheros (Mexican breakfast of fried eggs on salsa and tortillas ) make a hearty brunch . Read more
Insanely delicious even for meat eaters (I'm told) lovely vegetarian restaurant , great for brunch or dinner .
Was a bit sceptical about this at first, however it was really delish! Lots of different options you wouldn’t realise are veggie .
The chipotle polenta was delicious and everything else looked good too. Lovely service as well .
Great cocktails . A classier vegetarian place , for those tired of going to only veggie cafes . Lovely food.
Finally a vegetarian restaurant that just feel like a 'regular' restaurant . Good service , nice place, great dishes.
Vegetarian restaurants always try harder. Great service, beautiful venue very flavourful food
Beetroot tart was yummo, and the ginger beer drink also great, herb polenta chips yummo!
Great entry. Flavour explosion Courgette Flower .
Great for weekend brunch - the shakshuka or huevos rancheros particularly tasty.
Loads of vegan and vegan optional food. Absolutely delicious, gonna eat the menu.
I'll chime in with the rest. The polenta chips were great and so were the Huevos Rancheros
Superb restaurant ! You don't even notice you're eating vegetarian
Always nice to be able to have everything on the menu ????
Stunning vegetarian and vegan starters and mains. Dessert good but not special, service a bit mixed.
The best cheesecake of my entire life (with caramelised pineapple and coconut ).
What a find! Incredible food. Try the carrot and ginger smoothie . Amazing!!!!!
We had the two appetizers , burger , sweet potato and pomegranate salad , polenta chips , peach with ice cream , and cheesecake ... it was all terrible. It took us 2 hours start to finish. Won’t be back.
Beautifully presented and delicious veggie and vegan food
Amazing vegetarian food . Lovely wine . Knowledgable staff .
Amazing vegetarian . Try the biodynamic wines !
Ignore the fascist meat-obsessives. Have a great veggie meal here free from the smell if cooked horse.
Polenta fries are a must have when you go!
Gourmet veggie food at affordable prices with good ambience
Delicious upmarket unusual vegetarian food , great value .
The food is good enough to satisfy a meat eater easily. Amazing.
Onion tart starter is incredibly flavourful
You can see they put a lot of thought in the menu and the food but the portions are not big
Delicious vegetarian dishes in the heart of Angel.
Delicious vegetarian dishes , portions are a quite small though.
The teriyaki aubergine was surprisingly good :D
Great quality vegetarian food
Mediterranean frittata is amazing
Average food, sloppy service. Waiter leaning behind the counter to eat his lunch and just turning his back at the end without notice wasn’t very fitting for the location. Out of place and tune . Avoid.
The Halloumi is a great starter, and the risotto cake is amazing - even for a meat eater! - James Gill
Everything's amazing but the Vegan 'chicken' wraps keep me coming back! ???????? - Mick McLoghlin
Massive portions, super reasonable prices (£7.50 for curry, £4 for soup), and delicious food ???? I’m not even vegetarian, but I love this place. - Christine Røde
One of my favourite venues for fantastic dance shows. The theatre is beautiful and comfortable, easy to book tkts with very helpful staff. - Nuvola Bianca Tivoli
A little gem in the Angel area. Staff are very professional and cocktails delicious. Booking advised as it really is tiny! - Charlotte Maguier
Nice pub with great live music downstairs and the upstairs a great little theater. Tomorrow May Be My last was wonderful - S Helms
