overpriced, but tasty

Vegan options cost the same as salmon or meat, not fair because you will get a very, very tiny amount of extra soft (not firm) tofu.. like 4 small cubes so it should be priced accordingly.
otherwise, the food was tasty.. the place was clean. The coffee was great too!

Pros: Clean , Friendly

Cons: Prices for vegan options, Not enough protein added

My favourite place with their unique taste. They make good foods

The place is very nice and clean. I like the colour tone and the plants make the venue very comfortable.
All the ingredients are very fresh which I can see from how they prepare the bowls.
My favourite place.

Very fresh and healthy

Great selection for vegans at Bowls. We tried the Falafel salad and the vegan poke, both very tasty.

Decent option

I stopped if for tofu udon which wasn’t quite warm enough but pretty warm with spice.
They have a good section to hold a bow and plenty of poke bowls to go

Nice and convenient (note it is not all vegan)

Obviously would prefer all vegan menu, but understand why it isn’t (unfortunately). Vegan dishes priced the same as those with salmon and king prawns seem unfair… I enjoyed the vegan bowl though, overall, not bad!

Pros: Friendly staff, A number of vegan options, Quite tasty (great smoothies menu too)

Cons: Not all vegan (as it was before?), Limited seating, Vegan priced the same as classic/ocean dishes??

Great lunch spot

UPDATE: this closed and reopened. Same name, but seems like new owners it now sells meat. Not clear on how good veggie/vegan options are now.

Really love this place. Healthy salads, lots of choice, friendly staff, reasonably priced. The sweet potato and green lentil ones are especially tasty.

Note that you get a discount if you bring your own bowl (and reduce waste!), so worth doing that if you can.

Good choice of vegan hot food

Had the chana dal which came with rice and poppadoms. Was lovely. £4.50 for the bowl. Good choice of drinks. There was also black bean and sweet potato chilli that sounded lovely, as well as a selection of nice-looking salad options.

Cons: Served in disposable bowls even if sitting in

Simple and perfect

Small deli with a simple offering. Perfect place to pop in and get some food before hopping on the train to London (if you live in south side!)

Wish it was open on a Sunday.

Pros: Simple - pick a bowl size, full it up with veg, Tasty options, Best brownie I’ve tasted in a while

Cheap and wholesome lunch

Lovely new salad bar on Forest Road. You pick a bowl size (medium: £4.50 or large: £6.50) and fill with up to four salads available on the day. I really liked the lemon and apricot bulgar wheat and the black bean quinoa. Perfect for a quick and healthy lunch.
