WOOOOWW

this is a small place, great looking menu, and even better looking food. I ordered the smoke Gouda (I think it’s called, or smoke house?) burger and wow. One of the best vegan burgers I’ve ever had - seriously, and I’ve had a lot of vegan burgers in my life. I really recommend eating from this place. I had a burger, fries and a sparkling water and it came to around £12. I saw cake on the counter too which looked delicious.

Real home-cooked feel 💚

Lovely funky modern little diner with a real contemporary feel. The food is simple, substantial and a bit naughty! It is also made fresh to order so don't go if you're in a hurry - the chips can certainly take a while! Nice range as well to suit most tastes, ranging from burgers to tacos. The owners and staff and friendly and obviously passionate about what they do.
Perfect for a sit-down fast-food lunch or simple dinner.

Pros: Creative home cooked fare, Freshly made to order, Nice atmosphere with friendly staff

Cons: Can take time to be prepared, Not fancy or complicated (for special occasions)

Best vegan burger in Notts

Hands down best vegan burgers in Nottingham, also great tacos and cake! The food is spot on, with a bit more experience on the service front and maybe a second pair of hands in the kitchen this place has potential to be the best vegan place around! Will definitely visit again.

Pros: Taste , Fair price

Can't decide

Living in city centre I have eaten here the most and can never decide if I like it or not.

Some items on the menu are great (chicken burger, kebab) and others are either bland (mac and cheese) or literally 8 fries dipped in coating (loaded ?!?! fries).

The prices went up recently which makes it a bit more expensive as well and the staff don't always seem approachable and like i'm a hassle by being there.

Like i said sometimes I leave thinking it was good and others I feel the need to complain that the service was meh and the food lacking.

Pros: Good location, Some good items

Cons: The loaded ?! fries, Staff hit and miss, Price

We love you

We love you prickly pear! Thank you for the delicious food😄highly recommend this place - the burgers are amazing. The only negative is that the chips are a bit underwhelming as takeout but the burgers more than make up for that. Definitely try the Mac n cheese it will change your life.

Pros: Delicious, Home delivery

Overpriced mini burgers

Went on a double date to get some burgers, had to wait 1h to get the food which I can't understand as the place sits only 15 people max and wasn't packed. Quality was good, but quantity definitely disappointing as I was still hungry after eating my burger with fries. About £20 for two burgers (mine and mrs') which is definitely overpriced for the quantity on the plate. Maybe I'll go back to try something else, but from a small business I'd expect to be cuddled and well fed if they want to compete with bigger restaurants.

Pros: Full vegan menu!

Cons: Expensive, small portions, long wait to get served

Portion smaller than what it looks like, but tasted really nice at Prickly Pear at The Golden Fleece - Maybe closed in Nottingham

Best in Nottingham

We enjoyed the food here so much that we came twice during our mini stay in Nottingham. Everything we had was delicious but the chicken kebab and the tacos were our favourites! The restaurant is very casual and you can watch your food being prepared for you. Would 100% recommend! 😋

Fab indie business

Called in yesterday for dinner, had trouble deciding what to have, lots of lovely choices! We had fishish tacos, cheesy chips, and bannana blossom fish and chips, which was on special. The food was all freshly prepared, really tasty, and looked beautiful! Well worth a visit. Lovely staff too.

AMAZING

I cannot recommend this place enough! Every thing on the menu is to die for. The attack of the mac burger is insane and so tasty, and you have to try the biscoff milkshake if you can as it’s the best milkshake I’ve had in my entire life. The owners are incredibly kind and nice too and it’s always good to eat local if you are able. Another thing I like is they make the food within sight rather than the kitchen being hidden away which is something I like personally.

Pros: So many options at good price , Lovely staff , Amazing biscoff milkshake

Cons: Quite High up Mansfield road but worth it I swear

I had a great lunch here enjoying the tacos I tried with tofu fish and others with jackfruit in. Really tasty, fresh flavours. The cauliflower wings were also a hit.

Really liked the casual, upbeat atmosphere of this cafe too.

We had the nut roast for the Sunday lunch menu. The food was amazing, but there were no other vegetarian/vegan options.
