Delightful find! - Edit
100% vegan food menu with a huge selection of options. I went for the mango tango juice, lasagne and steamed broccoli, it was fantastic. The staff were so sweet and friendly and I will definitely return when next in the area!

Delicious - Edit
Very tasty food and friendly service. As a vegan, I always prefer to dine in a vegan restaurant if available. Found this one on HappyCow and we weren’t disappointed. We had a feast! Thank you.

Absolutely incredible - Edit
One of my all time favourite restaurants, if not my favourite. Been there so many times over the years with friends and family and I’ve never had a bad meal. Also the best vegan lasagna you’ll ever eat! Portions are large so I usually end up taking dessert home. Owners are caring and have a genuine interest
Read morePros: Owners are lovely and genuine people, Large portion, Tastes amazing!

Amazing food - Edit
The food was realy delisious! And the place was nice and cozy. But the only reason I gave just 4* it’s because of the waiters. The kept asking us if we are ok, if we need anything, but too often. They asked us about 5-7 times throughout the hour and a half we were there. And in one point it was realy disturbing us. And then another waitress was in a realy bad mood when we paid, and she was realy rude to her stuff. But anyway it was a very nice place.

Cons: Waiting stuff

Love this place! - Edit
You can see the food being cooked fresh to order from the kitchen, the portions are so generous and there is so much variety. There are also lots of yummy vegan cakes and desserts at the counter, which they will gladly pop in a box for you to take home with you.
Read moreThe owner of Karmana is a lovely lady, who came to chat with my mum and I as she took our orders, and was so knowledgable about the dishes and gave great recommendations based on our likes, dislikes and dietary preferences. The atmosphere is so relaxing and chilled out.
Make sure to try one of her authentic curries, and the vegan naan! :)
We were also told they do a vegan afternoon high tea! Will be back again to try that in the future for sure.
Pros: Generous portions and great variety, Lovely staff and owner, Fresh, healthy and organic ingredients

Excellent fresh food - Edit
I’ve been here many times and they can cater for gluten free and vegan easily. The food is the best I’ve tasted in the area. Spoilt for choice. They will also cater for children that are fussy eaters which is perfect for us. It’s always a big treat to come here and the owners are so wonderful and friendly. There’s a buffet on a Sunday too which I’d recommend booking in advance as it can get busy.
Read morePros: Mainly vegan restaurant, A few vegetarian options, Lots of gluten free options
Cons: All freshly cooked so not cheap (worth it though)

Love coming here - Edit
Relaxed but vibrant place with a spiritual vibe. When they open and close the restaurant, sage is burned to clear the air and smells lovely. The food is superb and there's always some worldly music playing. A place that really cares about more than just the taste of food, but also where it comes from and how it's prepared.

Cons: Nothing I can think of
