Don't get the burger

We were quite disappointed with the burger. It's SO small and was really nothing special. Very basic veg burger you can find anywhere for a high price. The sprouts they added as a side where old and a bit moldy and weren't seasoned. Just not worth the price

Pros: Seating

Cons: Burger wasn't good

Love the vibe

Such a cute restaurant with many vegan options and good food! Unfortunately they are out of papaya salad rn but hopefully it’s coming back soon!! I love the vibe and atmosphere of the cafe! It is (for Indian prices) a little pricey but obviously still very affordable.

Pros: Nice vibe, good view, Good vegan options, Nice staff

Cons: More money than usual, Out of a few things I liked

Loved their upstairs seating, having dinner while watching the sunset.
Try the vegan snickers and carrot cake :)

Be aware they do have cow‘s milk! So order with soy milk instead!

Pros: Atmosphere, Staff, Cakes

Cons: Cow‘s milk

Great selectio

Really good food - loved the poke bowl with tempeh, kimchi etc and smoothie bowls in particular. Great views and chilled vibe. Service a bit hit and miss at times - friendly but sometimes had to wait a long time and dishes came out at different times.

Lovely cafe with an excellent sunset view!

This is a lovely little cafe serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We went at the end of December and were informed that all the food was vegan. They just offer dairy milk for drinks. The tofu bolognaise was very nice and the steak tempeh sandwich was alright. The best thing about this place was the sunset view. The staff were super friendly as well.

Love this place☀️

Super friendly service, delicious food, extensive menu, amazing view and comfortable seating.

Do note that the menu differs slightly from Lumuma café at their resort (5 minute walk). Some food can be a little salty at times, but I loved most dishes on their menu.

Superb!

It’s rare to find tofu and tempeh in India, but this place has both and just the most delicious food in general with spectacular views as well. Also great service, really nice people!

מסעדה צמחונית עם פוטנציאל גבוה וביצוע נורא

אוכל לא הודי, בריא ומגוון. שירותיות גבוהה.
אני לא יודעת, אולי זה פשוט לא היום של הטבח, אבל האוכל פשוט לא היה טעים ובמחיר הזה אתה מצפה להנות מהארוחה.
הזמנו שלוש מנות: ארוחת בוקר הודית, שהיתה מבאסת וקטנה. ביקשנו תוספת מהשעועית והם פינקו.
בנוסף הזמנו תרד וטופו מגולגל, המנה הראשונה שהגישו לנו היתה טעימה אבל מלוחה בצורה בלתי אכילה. ביקשנו שיחליפו. המנה השנייה שהגיעה היתה תפלה ולא טעימה ובטעם חרדל.
המנה השלישית שהזמנו זה טמפה סטייק מגולגל, היה בו חרדל בהגזמה, פשוט מנה בטעם חרדל, הוא היה יבש ופשוט לא טעים. הצלחנו לאכול חצי מהמנה, כי היינו ממש ממש רעבים, את החצי השנה שיפצנו, ניסינו לגרש את החרדל, מילאנו את הטורטייה בסלסלה והשעועית של ארוחת הבוקר ויצא בסדר.
לא נחזור לפה זה בטוח.
מחיר יקר מוגזם ואוכל פשוט לא טעים.

Food for the soul

The type of food and the ingredients used in this place is very very unique, i don't think any one have it in varkala or even in kerela if i am not wrong.

Pros: Good waiters, Shanti music, Colour of the place

Cons: Gluten free pancakes , Berry beauty smoothie , Temphe steak wraps

Veg eatery with many vegan options

Vegetarian restaurant with nice menu. Burgers, smoothies, bowls and some Indian food. Most on the menu is vegan. It's also shown if food is satvik.

I only drank a soy latte hot coffee and a Vitamin C blast smoothie. The coffee tasted not that good (bitter) and the milk wasn't steamed very well. The smoothie was really good though. Very creamy and with a good taste.

healthy and tasty

wonderful food with plenty of real, nutritious veggies packed in. staff is super friendly and the prices are reasonable for the size and quality! my only wish would be that they were a bit more vocal about what ingredients they happen to be out of on any given day✨

Updated from previous review on 2023-02-06

Cons: often out of ingredients/items and they don't, tell you until you order. ask what is available, before looking at menu

Good vegan options

The warm glass noodle salad was really good. The tofu salad was not so good as they don’t know how to marinate tofu.

Pros: Many vegan options., Warm glass noodle salad

Cons: Tofu not really marinated
