So nice! - Edit
I was excited to finally find a vegan masala chai! Had to get the crepe that I saw posted by others and it was very good. The lady working was so kind as well.. also bought some muffins she had on the counter to take with me on a trek the next morning and they were perfect!

Simplistic yet satisfying - Edit
The food looks simplistic yet loaded with flavors feeling very satisfying afterwards. My big feast for takeout: grilled tofu ( less greasy), Thai tofu burger, vanilla ice cream and oat muffins. Just simply delicious! 🤤 The staff is very friendly and great location as well.

Vegan comfort food! - Edit
This is the original Kathmandu vegan restaurant.
Read moreThey have an extensive menu but I went for the vegan comfort food like seitan with mashed potato, and fried tofu with curry and rice (called Tofu Stairs).
To finish I had fried banana with vegan ice cream.
I loved all of it. The owner is very sweet and helps local vegan and animal rights causes.
Pros: The options like seitan and mashed potato! , The owner is a gem , Lots of space if you need to bring laptop and work
Cons: Nothing I didn’t like.

Vegan shakshuka and nice terrace - Edit
Really nice terrace and interior. Extensive menu. We both got vegan shakshuka which was fun and the ‘egg’ tasted really good. Also got choc brownie which was more like a cake but very nice.

Good food, nice ambiance - Edit
Menu with varied dishes. Today, for the fourth time, I had the ‘mo: mo: soup’ and for the first time the ‘soya fysh sticks’.
Read moreThe broth of the soup is tasty and full of flavors. The momos are fresh and delicious and have the perfect structure and softness.
The soy fysh sticks were tasty, but they don't live up to their name. They were actually cubes of fried tofu with very minimal seaweed flakes on top of it. Still, a good source of protein though and quite flavorful.
Overall, I think Loving Heart is a nice and cozy place to enjoy vegan food. If you sit upstairs on the terrace, it's advisable to ask them to turn on the ceiling fan because with the sun on the flat roof, it can get quite warm. Downstairs on the covered terrace, it's cooler anyway.
I really recommend Loving Heart. The ambiance is cozy, the food is good and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Lovely place - Edit
Probably our favorite place for vegan food in Kathmandu. We stopped by for lunch once so far and will definitely come back again. The restaurant is located in the top floor of a building on one of the main roads in Thamel with an amazing view from their rooftop. We got some delicious chai with soy milk, amazing momos, the roti curry set and spinach crepes. Everything was just so delicious and really filling.

Not bad, ok for the belly - Edit
The food was ok, maybe some other dishes I need to try. The burger was nice though not much flavour, fysh didn’t really taste nice. Pizza would’ve been good had they not forgotten to give it to me, so I had it cold and the seitan was hard on it.

Great food, very friendly - Edit
Super friendly people and great food options - I had the seitan chilly, soy masala tea, and an oreo shake. All of it was delicious and the seitan had perfect level of spice against my cold. Another table ordered a donut and that also looked amazing.
Read moreAlso seems like a good spot to work; during the afternoon there were a few people with laptops/working.
Update June 2024:
They changed locations since my last review and are now in a tall building with rooftop seating with a view. Good was the same though.

Best vegan in Kathmandu - Edit
We ate here about a dozen times during our few days in Kathmandu before and after a trekking tour.
Read moreTop quality vegan food including lots of flavourful curries. Large menu with lots of Asian and Western options. Friendly staff. It also hosts a local ethical vegan charity so happy to support the venue.
It's also amazing value. I think we paid about £6 for two main meals each time we went. Absolutely fantastic!
Pros: Great menu, Friendly staff , Cheap!
Cons: None
