Excellent find - Edit
We had the tofu fish and chips, cauliflower wings and hotdog. The food is delicious and a good variety to choose from. The buffet did look lovely too. Wish we could have gone back for a cocktail and apple pie!

Pricey but good burgers - Edit
We had the ultimate and natural burger, both came with a side of fries and the portions were generous. The only downside is that it is a little pricey for the dishes they offer. They also have a pay-by-weight buffet which we didn't try because there wasn't a lot left.

Excellent vegan food - Edit
I’ve been a few times and the quality of the food is excellent. Great menu with something for everyone. A little on the pricey side but you pay for the quality. You order at the counter. Food can sometimes appear within a few minutes which I find slightly disconcerting (i.e how fresh is it?) and it means you feel a bit rushed for a meal out!

Over priced - Edit
I tried to give this a one star but the app wouldn’t let me. My friend and I had the buffet. Each plate came to £10 and they were half empty, plus the food was just bland and a bit rubbish. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. The poorest food I’ve had for the money in a long, long time.

Incredible Food & Lovely Staff - Edit
The food here was absolutely incredible and insanely delicious! Me and my hubby went on a Saturday evening, it was busy but not overly so. The atmosphere is calm, friendly and the staff really know their stuff when it comes to the menu and options - they really went out of their way to make us feel at home. We both had cheezy garlic bread as a starter (which was the best cheezy garlic bread we have ever had!!!) . Then we had a hot dog with fries for a main and it was so tasty, what ever they are using in their hot dogs is perfect - even my New Yorker hubs said it was fantastic! This is must for anyone in the Birmingham area.
Read morePros: Creative and varied menu, Value for money with the quality & portion sizes, Staff are attentive, passionate & friendly
Cons: None at all!

Top quality food - Edit
We booked over the phone ( but we went on a Monday afternoon and was plenty of tables so I’m guessing you could just walk in.
Read moreSeems they only have 2 high chairs in the building so not sure what would happen if more children turned up.
We did have to ask where our sides orders were.
Staff very polite and interacted with my 9 month old who loves attention.. made to feel very welcome.
Pros: Nice range of meals on the menu. , Staff very knowledgeable about menu , Very clean
Cons: Only 2 baby chairs

A must visit, if your vegan - Edit
Been hearing about this place for a while now and my partner and I were very curious and had to check it out. One of the biggest things was that we had to try out the tofu fish and chips so that became our motive!! Now this is where the one star was lost. Everything about this place was spot on and amazing from staff, vibe, atmosphere. We were impressed by the menu and also that they sold alcoholic beverages. From the moment of ordering and waiting for our food (which wasn’t to long) it was a 5 stars from me!! But then our main attraction came out (the tofu fish and chips) and was let down and disappointed. It looked absolutely gorgeous but biting into the batterd tofu and tasting it was a different story! Literally was just bland piece of tofu and not even seasoned, yeah the batter was great and Everything on the dish stood out. except the star of the dish. Literally was just a piece of bland tofu taken out of the fridge dipped into batter and fried. We had very high expectations from all the talk and was disappointed. Not to brag but I make a better batterd to-fish at home and when I go out I expect better. Tofu is like a blank canvas and when not touched it is boring and bland and what you have done here is just wrapped it in nice wrapping paper (batter) just a tip, you could at least season the tofu or even marinate it!! Anyways after that I wanna say we were very impressed with everything else and is a must visit for all vegans or anyone who is in Birmingham. Highly recommend the burgers, they are well presented and taste even better!! Also they a buffet, cost by weight of plate and all looks delicious and fresh!!! Can’t fault anything else. And just the one star lost from disappointment from the overrated tofu fish and chips.

Full Vegan Breakfast was divine. - Edit
So lucky we were able to sneak in our breakfast order before 12.30pm on Sunday! One of the best vegan full breakfasts we’ve had. The tempeh was seasoned to perfection, sourdough toast was fresh and the hash browns were just delicious. Hats off to you Chef!

Fresh vegan food - Edit
The food is always fresh and tasty. There are raw, cooked, hot and cold options.
Read moreI like that the place is fully vegan and that they have added a set menu.
Unfortunately, I think the place is very expensive for what it is. Price wise it's cheaper than Iceland vegan eateries but more expensive than Norway!
Pros: Vegan , Fresh , Tasty
Cons: Very expensive

Thanks for the great evening! - Edit
My friend and I passed through Birmingham in early April, both on our way somewhere else. Used the Happy Cow (what a great service) to pair us up with this vegan restaurant. Enjoyed the food and treated ourselves to a very spacious meal. Complete with appetiser, drinks, dinner, desert and even after dinner drinks. Particularly enjoyed the friendly and helpful service from everyone (thanks for the menu recommendations).

Worth the hype - Edit
Wow! I have been wanting to pop by since moving to Brum and my first trip did not disappoint!! I must say, after hearing so much about the buffet I wasn’t expecting there to be such a ma-hoo-sive menu too!! Both myself and my visiting father ordered the natural burger and upgraded to spiced fries, the burger was amazing, the portion was very large so whilst it wasn’t cheap I believe it was fairly priced. I also got a kombucha (there were many flavours to choose from!). No pictures as I couldn’t wait to dig in!
Read moreedit: I've since returned to take advantage of the tea and cake offer. There is no 'English breakfast' style option but the chai was a big hit with my family. We all got the brownie (not all cakes included in the offer) and had it heated up- delicious!

Friendly and tasty - Edit
Staff were super friendly. I had the buffet option - every thing that I had was super tasty and the total cost was around £14 - not cheap but not bad given I had a plate full! My boyfriend had the Caribbean burger which he really liked along with “the best chips he’s ever had”. Coffees and cake slices are reasonably small. Will definitely go again as it’s great vegan food and I literally want to try everything on the menu.

Something for everybody - Edit
I like that this place offers a buffet option, where you pay for the wieght of your plate, this gives you more control on what you want to eat and how much of it! My partner and I opted for the menu instead though. Allergens are all marked clearly except for the hotdog which doesnt state it containing gluten, luckily thinking it too good to be to true I double checked only to be told it did contain gluten so this needs to be marked on their menu. Both our dishes- burger and the 'goats cheese' and tomato sandwich were good and the gluten free bread particulary good. Great CBD tea and lates also. Good spot. However with only two members of staff front of house service was a bit lacking.
Read morePros: Great choice of foods, Buffet paid for by weight, Good drink selection
Cons: Lack of staff, Not all allergens marked

Tofish - Edit
Loved the tofish very tasty! Bit expensive for frequent visits. A real gem to have a totally vegan eatery and takes the stress out of asking about the dishes and what’s in them. Homemade tartare sauce lush

Overrated - Edit
We visited early one Sunday and felt awkward being the first people to arrive. Not because it was quiet, but because the staff looked annoyed that we had arrived at the opening time.
Read moreThe food was nice, but I was really disappointed to see a bag of frozen chips being taken into the kitchen.
Before leaving this review I contacted NFC, and didn't get a reply. So I guess I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

Real Treat - Edit
I love visiting here! My favourite but is their cake as it’s refined sugar free, some are raw and they are all vegan! I couldn’t ask for a nicer treat! Their turmeric latte is nice too! The buffet can turn out expensive, yet it’s still a great place to go to fill up on vegan treats which are mostly organic (hence the prices) and they don’t add artificial bits!
Read morePros: Great cakes, Great cakes, Great cakes
Cons: Expensive buffet yet off the menu is cheaper
