Porzioni abbondanti e gustose - Edit
Posto che consiglio al 100%, i falafel saporiti e croccantissimi, come da ricetta originale. Ho preso la soluzione da due scelte, in particolare ho provato il riso allo zafferano ed aneto e le verdure al curry, molto buoni entrambi i piatti!!
Read moreAnche la panna cotta vegana non era per niente male, molto delicata e rinfrescante.
Il cameriere è stato gentilissimo e il servizio veloce, nonostante il locale fosse al completo. A livello di costi, prezzi onestissimi per quantità e per posizione del locale!!

Middle-east taste with plenty vegan options - Edit
On the menu they offer many vegan options including appetizers, rice dishes, vegetables. I've tried rice with vegetables which was ok, lentil dhal which was amazing, hummus plate delicious. I've also had vegetables and lentils steamed ravioli and curry vegetables, very tasty. Prices are fair, atmosphere is nice and staff is friendly. They also have different hot teas. Recommended when in Venice.

Great late night find. - Edit
We found this place after the first restaurant we tried was closed. It was a great find. We each got the vegan appetizer platter. It was piping hot and very filling. I wish I could bottle their spicy chili sauce.

Tasty and affordable food close to the station - Edit
A Middle Eastern restaurant located near the Jewish Ghetto and Santa Lucia train station. The menu clearly marks vegan and vegetarian options. Everything we ordered was tasty and reasonably priced. We were happy with our meal.

Una valida scelta ed economica - Edit
Il menù vario e ben segnalate le pietanze vegane. Ci sono delle opzioni di combo dei piatti in base al prezzo. I piatti sono buoni, mi aspettavo forse solo un po’ più di sapore e gusto. Personale molto disponibile e comunque un bell’ambiente con molti altri commensali

Cons: Le pietanze potevano essere più saporite

Incredible Middle-Eastern Food - Edit
Having eaten pizza and pasta exclusively in Italy for a week, this place is a gold mine. If you’re vegetarian, Italian food quickly becomes quite monotonous.
Read moreThere are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available and it’s very reasonably priced. I had the dal and chickpea-spinach with couscous with curried vegetables, all of which were delicious.

Best vegan Food in Venice - Edit
Compared to the few other options in Venice, this one beats them all in taste, price, and amount of food. The service was very attentative and quick, and the vegan options are clearly labeled (except the sauces).

Exceeded expectations! - Edit
I still can't believe I got a huge plate of flavorful food for €12 in Venice. The menu has a lot of vegan options from around the Middle East as well as appetizers and a pannacotta! I enjoyed everything I ate. I was craving something that wasn't pizza or pasta and this hit the spot. Highly recommended!

I appreciated that this place was open later than most other places. Everything is clearly marked as vegan or vegetarian and everything we had was delicious!

Tasty food and nice staff - Edit
The restaurant was nice, the food was tasty, the staff friendly.
Read moreWe are vegetarians so we didn't focus on what was vegan, but I'd say they do have vegan options (for example, the falafel, which was great).
For dinner, at least, you have to choose options from a combined menu of 2 to 3 plates, but the 3rd is meat, so you can actually only choose 2 plates (it's cheaper, anyway). We were two people, got the falafel starter (you can choose the sauce, we chose hummus), 2 veggie samosa, each chose a "rice" and a legume, and that was it! We were full and happy.

Tasty food😄 - Edit
Loved that there were so many vegan options on the menu. The place was completely full so I had little interaction with the staff, but they seemed friendly enough. The server was very quiet though.

A food oasis for vegans in Venice - Edit
It's not 100% vegan, they also make some meat and some vegetarian but LOTS of tasty vegan choices.
Read morePay attention to the menu as V means vegan and VE means vegetarian.
They even have a vegan panna cotta for dessert.
We had the vegan antipasto with hummus and a fattoush salad. The falafel was delicious, whole grain and not oily, in fact nothing was oily.
The staff are polite and attentive and the service was very quick.
We have made a reservation to come back tonight. You must make a reservation for evening meals. They have 2 seatings 19:00 to 21:00 and 21:00-23:00. They have WiFi and you can sit inside or out.
If you are in a wheelchair there is one small step you would need help with to go inside but the ladies bathroom is actually wheelchair accessible.

Flavorless food with wrongly titled ethnicities - Edit
There were quite many vegan options, but it seems the owner went through a list and added countries randomly in front of the food. Because food didn't taste anywhere close to the original taste and I saw some dishes that are not from my country, listed as dishes from my country. I have never heard/seen these dishes. Probably chef should try how the food from these countries is actually supposed to taste like.

Not Just Falafel - Edit
A good place to try many dishes from all over middle East. The owner made it very sure right from the beginning that this is not an Indian restaurant. The dishes are from Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and similar countries pretty good portions and tasty food. I’m not sure how the original food in these countries are supposed to taste but I was hoping for a bit more flavor. Eclectic ambiance and good service.

Believe the hype - Edit
I didn’t think this place could possibly be as good as the reviews suggested, but it is. The flavours are a lot more subtle than my palate is used to (I over season everything!) but the food here was delicious. And very reasonably priced. The vegan panna cotta was well worth the visit on its own. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. If you’re in town, give it a whirl. Even my omni husband enjoyed it and is happy to go back again.

A nice experience - Edit
Our waiter was such a sweet guy, very attentive. There were many vegan options and clearly labelled. The owner seems to be an afghan refugee who set up the restaurant (if my Italian is good enough, reading the news article that was on the table). The aubergine dish was the absolute best and the dhal was great too. Unfortunately, the chef put yoghurt over a vegan spinach dish and when we checked, the waiter quickly rectified the situation. Just specify clearly that you want 100% vegan and you'll have a great dinner!

Vegan in Venice - Edit
Great atmosphere and delicious food. Must order two, three, or five selections from menu (no single menu item), all portions were generous and fresh. Definitely going back to try other vegan options as only had the vegetable samosas and dahl so far.

Amazing!! - Edit
EDIT: visited Feb 2023. Just as good if not better! They even do vegan panna cotta!! Service amazing and food delicious. ♡
Read more2019 review:
Highly highly recommend.
It makes a change from the usual pasta/pizza in Venice anyway, but even if you’re not hugely into Middle Eastern food this is definitely worth a visit.
The menu is very clearly marked, and I would say about 50% of dishes are vegan, mainly more. I had the 3 dishes option for €12. It was a bit small, but I think the size depends on which dish you choose. Either way will certainly be returning before the end of my stay!

Pros: Incredible aubergine and tomato dish , Great Hummus, Reasonably priced and huge choice
