Decent food with lovely staff

Been here on a couple of occasions now - had vegan tapas on first trip & one of the vegan curries on second. Enjoyed the food both times as did the non veggies I was with. Staff were very friendly & the setting is lovely. All in all a good option if you’re looking for somewhere to eat out in Sunderland

Pros: Selection of vegan tapas & curries, Friendly staff, Lovely surroundings

Cons: Menu bit confusing as VE is vegetarian & V vegan , No tofu option for curries

Nice 👌

Lovely interior, staff were very attentive. They have a vegan tapas menu which has good options, but the mains are limited and there’s only the choice of two veg curries, the curry sauces weren’t to our taste so we stuck with the tapas. We enjoyed the tapas options, but the banana blossom was far too thin it was just a single leaf in tempura batter so it was just all batter really. The desserts were nice, we were confused by the V and VE signs - they are just using a V for vegan food rather than the usual VE.

Pros: Choices , Specials if you get there early enough , Desserts 🍨

Cons: Mains are limited , No tofu is offered as a main only veg , Banana blossom is far too thin.

A Fabulous Evening

We went with friends to celebrate a couple of landmark birthdays and had a fabulous time enjoying the great vegan food, wine and atmosphere of this lovely new place. My curry, rice and chips combo was delicious and nicely presented. I’m already looking forward to coming back

Pros: Vegan tapas menu , Vegan curries , Good wine list

Open your eyes, open your imagination

An outstanding place serving excellent Asian themed tapas and curries in a lovely spacious basement setting. We had a couple of 2 for £9 cocktails whilst admiring the menu. To start we went for a portion of ultra crispy banana blossom tempura, fennel bhaji’s and a couple of Chinese style tofu tacos all between four to share. For the mains a beautiful Thai red curry with mushrooms, veg and tofu and a Cambodian nutty curry. The other two in our group went for meat curries (disappointing I know). We also shared a couple of bottles of quite exceptional Italian wines. The white was stunning and the red robust and earthy. I should really have taken a note of the labels. The culinary scene in Sunderland is certainly picking up.

Pros: Fully labelled vegan options , Fabulous food , Excellent vibes
