Great vegan options!

Unfortunately there are no fully vegan restaurants in Chelmsford but Banana Tree in my opinion has the best options. Very good selection of curries, soups, stir fries etc as well as starters. I use regularly as a home delivery option and food always arrives hot.

Lots of flavour!

I'm often underwhelmed with the food at chain restaurants but not this time! The food here was really tasty and I was impressed with the large variety of vegan options on the menu. For starters we had the crispy vegan gyoza with sweet chilli dip and Vietnamese spring rolls with lettuce wraps. Both dishes were really tasty and I liked that the spring rolls came with lettuce to wrap them in – it was unusual and added a nice crunchy texture. For our mains we had the vegan katsu curry and the pad Thai with vegan bites. I enjoyed both of them although the pad Thai was definitely the winner for me – it was bursting with flavour and just so delicious! My favourite out of everything we had though was the side – sweet corn fritter balls with sweet chilli dip. They were absolutely delicious!

They also do two for one cocktails all day every day which brings the price down to a very reasonable £6 each. We had a [censored] star martini each and they were also really good!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very tasty, Two for one cocktails every day

Good Variety

Nice selection and the food was quality. Hardly any oil.

Only concern was the vegan crackers. They didn't have much taste but if they added a bit of miso or salt that would improve things

Would be 5 star if HappyCow allowed

We frequently order from here for delivery. Many vegan choices, consistently tasty, good quality, and so far, never late.

Pros: Tasty, Variety of vegan options, Quick

Cons: The soya bites / tofu are generally deep fried.

Amazing vegan choices.

Visited Banana Tree out of curiosity some months back due to looking for more places with vegan/vegetarian options and was not disappointed.
Their menu is about 40% vegan and most meat dishes have a vegan option and the portion sizes are huge. We try and visit at least once a month. The vegan satays are one of my absolute favourite things on the menu.

Pros: Lots of vegan options.

Cons: Expensive unless you use a TasteCard.
