bit sad - Edit
I’ve had global veg quite a few times and they weren’t that bad, the quality and quantity was good. But i am so disappointed at the recent change. The quantity has decreased SO much. I had it literally 2 weeks ago when I ordered sweet and sour chicken where I got the chicken, rice and sauce separately in a great amount for the price and now after buying it today was so disappointed at what i got.

Amazing! - Edit
Great value and tasty, healthy food. Most dishes are vegan and can otherwise be made vegan. Kung Po mock beef is good, the Indian curry, combination fried rice & the Mee Goreng.

So good - Edit
When you have cravings for unhealthy fried rice variations and other dishes, this it the place. Fast service, huge servings, great prices, and so delicious. The mixed mock meat fried rice is an absolute favourite, wouldn't recommend the noodle dishes as much, still good though.
Read morePros: cheap, big servings, delicious

Not bad for vegan food - Edit
I got the dumplings and while they were nice, they were just cabbage so would be nice to see a more complex menu. I ordered from UberEats so can't make too many comments on the pricing but it's convenient to have delivery.

Nice staff, mediocre food - Edit
We just moved in nearby and were excited to find this restaurant. Unfortunately it seems as if they haven't changed anything in 20 years. The best thing is that you can get a lot of vegetables in each dish, so it's worth going if you need your vegie fix. But every dish has exactly the same mix of very chunky veggies in a different and very ordinary sauce. We call it "90's veg", because it's exactly what we would have been eating back then before anyone thought to bring a slightly gourmet touch to vegetarian and vegan food. I sincerely wish that the owners would consider doing something radical like maybe making some dishes from their home country, because at the moment it really doesn't matter what you order, it is pretty much the same. I recommend noodles. Avoid curries, they are extremely bland.
Read moreOn the plus side they've brought in fake meat options to add to dishes. They just don't drop the giant tofu cubes when you order fake meat so there are piles of food.
Pros: Lightly cooked healthy veggies, Really nice staff, MASSIVE serves
Cons: Still in the 90's, Poor quality sauces - jar?, Not much flavour

Healthy eating, friendly staff - Edit
Been invited by friends to this place. Found it interesting with the fusion of east-west cooking styles, with a focus on healthy eating.
Read moreRecently, I have been informed that some dishes may have elements of onion or/and garlic. So, strict veg friends please be aware and let them know of your requirements.
I do hope that they will consider re-adjusting their ingredients :-)
Pros: Fusion, Wide variety of choices
Cons: Not all GOF [garlic, onion free]

Yummy and Reliable - Edit
I cannot say how many times I have eaten at Global but it is at least 20. The food is always delicious and very cheap. It's a cafe style place where most people just come, eat their food and go but they also do take away. The food is healthy, the service is quick and the menu varied. Highly recommended.
Read morePros: Delicious, Cheap, Reliable
Cons: Can be a bit noisy

affordable meals - Edit
It isn't gourmet, but it also is fresh, huge portions and tasty.
Read moreMost of the menu is vegan except for dairy available in some meals and also a non-vegan pudding/drinks.
They do a (vegan) set meal for i think $18 which was 3 courses including dumplings and black rice coconut pudding.... what's not to like about that?!
Staff were so lovely as well, if we can we will visit again!

Cheap, basic but alright food. - Edit
Look, it's not amazing food. However it is cheap, the staff are nice, they almost always chuck in something free.
Read moreIt's a good take-away option for the family, especially because they have a wide variety of food including desserts. They will direct you to the vegan options without any trouble.
I particularly like it because it reminds me of Al's Pancake World in Gilmore Girls: a confusing place where they haven't quite figured out what cuisine they're going for haha.

My New Favourite Restaurant - Edit
My partner and I arrived 15 minutes before closing time and we were greeted with a smile and A-Class service. We placed our order and it was a shock to realise how cheap our order was. We bought 2 mains and a vegan miso udon which we thought would be small but was also a main. For side dishes we ordered wantons, spring rolls and a were delighted with a FREE serving of fried dumplings.
Read moreEverything has been delicious and prepared with lots of thought and care.
I will be recommending Global Vegetarian to my friends. #happyfatvegan
Pros: Majority of the menu is vegan., After 5pm kids under 10 years old can eat for free, Literally a 1 minute walk from Ormond train statio
Cons: When driving to GV the resturant is situated close

A sizable menu with a wide range of great value Vegan options. If you're on a budget, you can fill up with very little cash.
Read moreStandouts include the large bowls of soups for under $6, the best samosa in Melbourne and the roti with curry sauce.

Good wholesome fare - Edit
Very happy when we arrived to see many GF and Vegan options.
Read moreThe Polenta chips where definately the highlight and everyone enjoyed the Nasi Goreng also. The Polenta in Tomato and Bean stew was very nice. The curry dish was a bit bland. Overall, our feelings where very positive with huge servings of wholesome,nutritious food served by friendly people who really kwn what Gluten Free and Vegan mean.
Pros: Huge Servings, Good Value

Excellent Variety on the menu - Edit
Whatever you feel like, when you go there, there's something on the menu to suit- Italian, Mexican, Indian, small, sweet, soup, noodles.. It's good value for money, & always fresh food. Cafe style seating, go up and order at the counter and expect a bit of a wait if it's busy- which it usually is.
Read morePros: Wholesome good food, Staff helpful
Cons: can get noisy
