Vegan in Reykjavik

Absolutely delicious food! We had the Dhal ala mama, which was perfectly spiced and a great sized portion. We followed it with an Orgasm, the most sublime cheesecake I’ve ever tried, vegan or otherwise. If you ever find yourself in this city, eating here is a must!!!

Completely recommend

Amazing food and space. Adore the shop below as well. We had the Mama Jamaica and the cheesecake which were lovely, although cheesecake completely frozen so it was like an ice-cream cake but very nice all the same. Lemon ginger beer was fiery and gorgeous

Pros: Great food, Healthy, Views from high up on three angles

Cons: Pricey, Very quiet non engaging staff, Think disabled access not possible, steep stairs

Earthy and delicious!

We went here twice in our time in Reykjavik and it was simply amazing. They had many options and were impressed by all of them that we tried. You also have to get dessert!!

Pros: Great value , Fresh options, Convenient location

Dahl ala Mama and orgasm

I ordered a «  Dahl ala mama » it was tasty,there was enough food but not enough warm so I had to ask the waiter to warm it up. The dessert was very good except I found a hair on the dessert 😬

Pros: Tasty, Good portion , Good atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

Nice little place with awesome Dhal

Really nice little place in Reykjavik. It has a small card, but really nice options. I had the Dhal which was great. Expensive of course but really good

Sehr schönes Restaurant

Vom Ambiente und Lage her Top! Essen war lecker, hatte das Dal. Aber beim Inder ist es schon etwas besser. Desser war super! Personal war jedoch leider nicht sehr motiviert. Keine Kommunikation, kein Verabschieden. Fand ich schon schade. Aber das Restaurant würde ich dennoch weiter empfehlen, weil es sehr schön und gemütlich ist.

Pros: Gutes Essen, Ambiente und Lage, Sehr gemütlich

Cons: Personal, Sauberkeit

Changing menu

I had the dahl, and they're weekly special, which was a jamaican themed stew with rice. Both delicious. The orgasm cheesecake was amazing too, very rich but not overly sweet. Large portions. Their menu is small, so if you're looking for variety, you won't find it here.

Pros: Good value, Friendly staff, Excellent food

Cons: Small menu

Delicious!

Happened to wander in here to check it out for my last meal in Iceland. Had plans to go elsewhere but so glad I stopped here instead! A plant-based restaurant in the heart of the city with a really homey feel. Get a seat by the window and people watch while you enjoy your food. I had the dal which is the special recipe of one of the staff-super good flavors and very hearty. They have a small set menu and daily specials, as well as teas, smoothies, juices, and sweets including a cheesecake they call orgasm! I only wish I would have discovered this place earlier in my trip, especially to come warm up on one of the rainy/dreary days.

Big portions

We had a soup, a salad and some smoothies here, all of which were very nice. As we came late-ish, options were a bit limited, but what was available was good. Portions were so big that we ended up taking the smoothies to-go and had them for breakfast the next morning. Staff was friendly and accomodating, place very cute

Pros: All vegan, Big portions , Central location

Cons: Relatively expensive , Limited options for late dinner time

i agree with previous posts

super expensive for a very meh meal in my opinion. i got the daal and it was just like fine. there was some sort of sweet sauce that was in it that i didn’t love but it was fine but didn’t need to be that much!!! also i found a small hair in it 😖 i also got a chocolate ball thing which was way overpriced but it actually was REALLY GOOD. i would go back just to get more of the chocolate but nothing else. my only qualm with that is that the little container it was in had a little live bug in it. like a fly or something just buzzing around. they need to be more careful about bugs getting into food because that’s pretty bad!

Amazing!

Someone told us this was the hippie center of Iceland, and the vibe definitely echoed that! It was very cozy and the staff was incredibly friendly. There weren’t a ton of options, but our meals were all so filling, flavorful, and colorful. I loved the kombucha on tap, and everyone in my group (omnivores included) loved the cheesecake so much we came back later in our trip to have it again.

Pros: Cheesecake!!, All vegan, Super friendly and cozy vibe

High Price for Basic V Food

Mama is a convenient place to stop while in central Reykjavik if you are looking for an exclusively vegan restaurant, but be prepared to pay the price—like double of what you’d pay outside of Iceland.

I ordered the African peanut stew because I couldn’t justify paying €18 for a Dahl at a non-Indian run restaurant. The stew was flavorful (maybe a mix of a tomato and peanut butter base) and the portion size was generous, but because the texture was a bit thin, it was not as filling as I’d hoped.

If money isn’t an issue and you are into a yogic and new-agey space, this space may suit you. If not, there are a couple more budget friendly options elsewhere in town.

Great, lucky find!

Great little vegan “Mother Earth” feel in heart of the city. We had dal (very good, sweet and flavorful), sweet potato chili (tasty, sweet and spicy), a nice portobello sandwich and a great potato salad salad. We ate in top floor with nice lounge feel. Awesome location. Modest pricing. Beer and kombucha.

Loved it!

We tried 5 dishes and all were delicious. Their cheesecake is amazing! The food kept getting better the more we ate it. The service was great and the atmosphere was so welcoming.

A perfect vegan cafe in the centre of Reykjavik, with great food, friendly staff, and plenty of space. Good wifi too, and a choice of different kinds of place to sit. Soups and salads highly recommended!

Great atmosphere!

I thought this was a great little nook in Reykjavik. It is definitely a healthy option & seems like it would connect well with those on a spiritual path. The food was pretty good! It wasn't my favourite options we had in Iceland, but I think that's just the nature of what they are trying to achieve :)

Pros: Nice atmosphere
