Excellent

Nearly everything on the menu could be made vegan and the food was amazing. Everything was so flavourful and cooked really well. It’s in a great location and can be quite busy so go a little earlier or you might have a long wait for a table

Pros: Great location , Really adaptable menu

Nice place

Nice staff here and it's a swish place. Had the green curry which was sadly bland. Maybe avoid that. My buddy had Pad Thai and liked it. I wish the curry was tasty. Sad now.

Pros: Good options, Nice dumplings, Nice place

Cons: Bland

Staff were great. Nice decor. Sat in bar and waited for a table as it was busy Monday night pouring with rain.
Had massaman curry with added tofu and shared dessert of coconut, mango, pineapple.

Pros: Different vegan options, Staff great

Great Vegan Options!!

This lovely restaurant, situated in the main town, has some fantastic vegan options.
A bit on the expensive side compared to other food restaurants in Lagos but the portion sizes definitely match the price.
Great and Lovely Staff!
Give it a go!

Good vegan options

Multiple vegan options and very tasty dumplings and Pad Thai. The restaurant was cosy and the staff was friendly! Would highly recommend to go there if you like Asian food.

Super nice staff but average food

We found the taste (tried 2 dishes) quite boring but I have to say that we are from Berlin where we have the most amazing vegan Vietnamese places so we are quite spoiled
Options were generally good though

Asiático en Lagos!

Restaurante con varias opciones vegetarianas y veganas en el centro de Lagos. Probé el pad thai vegetariano y fue un acierto!!

Aunque por los aspectos comentados en 'en contra', no lo recomiendo. El camarero dijo: me cuesta más encender el datáfono que tú ir al cajero.

Cons: No aceptan pago con tarjeta, Lentitud en el servicio, Personal poco simpático

Delicious!

All the vegan options are clearly marked in the menu, and there were quite a lot. The food was so good - the use of spices is really out of the ordinary. Staff was extremely friendly and attentive. It is not exactly cheap but it‘s definitively worth the money. The quality of the food, the dishes, the interior, the lightning - very nice, tasteful, and definitively worth it!

Pros: Many vegan options, all clearly marked , Friendly and attentive staff , Food is delicious

Yummi

It‘s really delicious! The Stuff is really nice and there are a many vegan dishes! But it‘s rather two $$. A dish starts with about 10€.

Tasty!

They have several vegan options, and others can be made vegan upon request. We had the dumplings, the stir fry and the pad Thai and it was all pretty good.

Pros: Fair amount of vegan options, Jackfruit on the stir fry was crunchy and delish

Cons: Slow service but worth it

Food was excellent

Cannot fault the food, the pad thai portion was huge and tasty! Great to have vegan tampura too.

But honestly, the slowest service. The team were clearly understaffed and not anticipating a busy Tuesday evening.

We were there for 2.5 hrs, only served 2 drinks during this time- the second we had to flag down whilst a waiter rushed past. They could have made a lot more out of us as it was our first night in Lagos and we were in holiday mode!

I will say, there was a huge party seated next to us so I was feeling for the staff. They could have done with a other 4 people on shift. The team that were on were really friendly, the busyness did effect their communication though.

I would recommend it, just don’t wait until your starving hungry!

Pros: Clear vegan options, Cocktail menu, Beer on draft

Cons: Slow service

Would rate it a five star if the app allowed it!

I got the stir fry jackfruit dish (I asked them to add some red curry spice) and I ate until I exploded. Worth it though

Pros: Lovely staff, Get to watch the cook make the food, Decently priced

Few vegan options, no dessert. Good food

There’s only a few vegan options, and no vegan dessert. The food was very good, but the vegan ramen was too hot (a lot of hot pepper), even though the waiter said it was only a little bit.

Pros: Good food

Cons: Not many vegan options, No vegan dessert

Quite good asian

I was pretty glad I could eat something different from other restaurants I did during my stay in Portugal : Asian taste, and i found it globally good. First advice : start by saying that you are vegan and that you wanna to know which options are vegan (they well know this as it's clearly mentioned on the menu).
I was craving for the jack fruit "meat-like" but I was a bit disappointed, not tasty enough for me : the texture was interesting (pork like) but not so much the flavor (spices missing). If you want to try it vegan, have the wrap (not bad but not the best for me) or the noodles (not tried), not the bao which is vegetarian (milk inside).

I really liked the Asian salad with tofu and the vegetables tempura : very nice starters, fresh and fried, perfect mix during summer.

All the desserts (3) were vegan but I didn't try them, they looked great.

Pros: Vegan starters, mains and desserts. Asian taste

Cons: No clear vg labels, jackfruit tasteless
