80% of the vegetarian menu can be made vegan! Got a great vegan burger, falafel, nachos and Singapore noodles over our two visits! It was delicious and the staff was super friendly 👏 would recommend!

In love with the food! 🌱 - Edit
What an experience!
Read moreWe came to Mui Ne especially for vegan food, I saw this restaurant on Happy Cow. When I saw the menu, I was confused at first and thought the dishes with cheese were vegetarian meals. We talked to the staff (I think this friendly man is the owner, he even called us a cab later the evening) and he told us that the whole menu is vegan - they even make their own plantbased cheese!
Everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious, well seasoned and fresh. I would love to come here again! #Veganuary
Pros: selection of food, friendly staff, taste and freshness of the food
Cons: maybe a bit pricey but absolutely worth it

5 star service! - Edit
Delicious food with so many vegan options and the best service of a lovely man. I ate here twice but I would’ve liked to come here more often! The restaurant is situated in a quiet foodcourt and has nice places to sit. They have a large almost 100% vegan menu and they even have vegan cheese.😍 I had the Tofu Manchurian and Palak Paneer Karma, both so tasty!!
Read moreThe only negative thing is that the food is more pricey in comparison with other food in the area.

unreal!!! - Edit
the food was amazing here, the portions are huge and the flavours were amazing! Also the guy that was working was so lovely and attentive! I had the buddha bowl which was so fresh and tasty and shared the samosas which were delicious - the vegan cheese added such an interesting texture! My friends had some curries and naan and said it was so delicious too! the food is a little more expensive than other options but so worth it for the portion size and freshness! They also had loads of games you could borrow which was a lovely touch! They also do some set menus which a friend had and loved and said was really good flavour and value for money! Will definitely be back during our stay!! Also a super cute puppy came and surprised us near the end of our meal.

Really good! - Edit
We ended up going here every day during our stay in Mui Ne as there’s so much choice on the menu. All their milkshakes and smoothies are made with soya milk/yoghurt as standard too! The head waiter is so friendly and kind and we really enjoyed the food. My favourite was the cauliflower which I had with Vietnamese rice but I also had tacos, nachos, falafel souvlaki and tomato and olive salad. All great! They even have vegan cheese 😄 forgot to take many photos though sorry!

Reduce the number of plates and make a choice which quisine you want to serve. Less is more!
Read moreCons: The tables were dirty 😭, The food tasted like fast food 😫, Several dishes on were not available …
KayjusSingh
We remember your visit. Sorry for dirty tables experience, we have 160 tables and 640 pax seating system. Sometimes few tables left uncleanness due to high traffic of walking customers. We really sorry for that.
Read moreWe are not boil rice vegetable common Vietnamese shack.
I hope you seen the description written in menu first page, we not became vegan or vegetarian, We BORN like that. That's why we know more than anyone in town about vegetarian food and how to turn any food vegan or vegetarian.
There was only one dish we which you ordered and unable to cook due to no power in town.
We wish this review you could calm down.

Want this everyday! - Edit
Honestly, do not miss this in Vietnam! The food is impeccable and the staff is incredible. They ask in advance if you are vegan and then make sure whatever you order either is vegan already or they customize it for you. We went there again after the first time and he remembered us and our preferences. I would love to have this restaurant back home!

Can't rate this highly enough! Amazing food, lovely atmosphere - Edit
It may be on the pricey side but it is sooo worth it! And in comparison to Europe is still very cheap for excellent food, service and atmosphere. Every dish can be made vegan. The staff are so lovely and accomodating, they want you to really enjoy your food.
Read moreWe came at midday, I got the tofu dish which was excellent so we came back for dinner. There are so many lovely options I went on recommendation from staff, who can personalise any dish for you. I didnt ask them to, its just how they work and the food was unreal! For dinner I had a paneer veg dish with garlic naan. Lush!
Highly highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
The place next door (they share seating) has a meat menu so great if you have non vegans I the group. Having said that, they would still love the veg menu!
Pros: Amazing flavour, cooked to your tastes, Loads of vegan options, Vegan paneer, cream, milk etc

Good food, many options - Edit
Nice open food court-style place. Space is shared with non-veg restaurant, but there's a separate veg menu. The menu has a lot of options, focusing on Indian but including Mediterranean, Indo-Chinese, and western fare. Many options contain cheese and/or yogurt, but the restaurant makes its own vegan cheese and yogurt and will use these if asked. Owners are fluent English speakers; rest of staff are not, but appear to understand vegan.
Read moreFood is tasty and consistently well cooked, if a little pricy for Vietnam. Portions may be a bit smaller than you'd expect. Service is timely and friendly.
Also offers a variety of drinks, including coffees, which can also be made with vegan milk. Coconut coffee is especially good.
Pros: Many options, Open until 10pm
Cons: Price is a little on the high side, Lots of flies, mosquitoes in the area

Quesadillas were okay, falafel and hummus was fine. Nice staff but a bit too pricey.

Ok vegan food - Edit
Buddha bowl was bland, no seasoning or dressing, basically some lettuce, corn and tomatoes mixed in. The samosa on the other hand was quite nice. Still not a great impression. Feels like the vegan revolution hasn't really hit this part of Vietnam yet compared to everywhere else we've been. Perhaps in a year or two?

Thank you so much for your review and rating.
Read moreHappy to hear that you enjoyed el cafe..
As we seen in the picture of your review. You had a great taco which comes in 3 tortilla with fillings. At the price of 85.000 vnd. About 3 dollars and 20 cent.
Usually, its cost 20$ or €,£ in western or any English country where it's also easy and cheap to get indigrident locally. But in Vietnam where its impossible to get all these indigrident? we are depend on the 100% overseas imported indigrident for dishes we serve.
Recently, we delete some dishes from our menu because its contains saffron and green sweet cardamom.
We cant afford saffron 25$ for one any more. The same with cardamom 113$ for one kg.
If we think of using local ingredients? We cant serve such popular mexican, indian, italian dishes.
Vietnam dosent have that climate for such indigridents.
I hope you can understand this.
Our food is unique and to make it upto perfection? We need to import such indigridents at very high price and custom duty.
Thank you so much for your review.
Hope to see you again
