Amazing Vegan Buddha Bowls

A lovely menu with plenty of marked Vegan/Vegetarian options, we opted for the Tofu B.B. and it was the tastiest Vegan food we had here, a fusion of Mediterranean and Asian food ! I would definitely recommend it

Pros: Plenty of vegan options , Lovely service , Very friendly and good atmosphere

Cons: None

Really good

Really good food and really satisfying portion size (my boyfriend and I have a good appetite). Great choice of vegan and vegetarian food but also of vegan drinks such as vegan wine and prosecco. They also do happy hours so you have 2 cocktails for 1! I choose the tofu Buddha bowl and my boyfriend the avocado Buddha bowl. They also have vegan deserts such as raw Carrot cake which was absolutely delicious.
The staff is really friendly and smily.
I recommand it!

Pros: A lot of vegan options, Really satisfying portion size, Friendly staff

Lecker aber teuer

Wir hatten einen Chickpea-Burger und einen BB mit Soja. Der Chickpeak-Burger war vegetarisch. Der Patty war trocken, etwas mehr Soße wäre gut gewesen. Wer Burger-Buns erwartet, wird enttäuscht. Der Burger wird in Piadine-Brot serviert.
Die Bowl war gut, ihren stolzen Preis von 13,80€ aber nicht wert.
Fazit: lecker aber teuer.

Pros: Viele vegane Optionen

Cons: Teuer

Great place!

Awesome place to sit down and have some food. Staff is very friendly and happy to explain all the vegan options. My friend and I got the coconut, lentil and chickpea soup. When we asked for two spoons to share one serving of soup they very considerately brought out two separate tinier bowls with soul for each. Would love to go back here some day!

Nice food

Came here by chance as next door was shut. The Buddha bowls were great- very tasty. Only downside was the reluctance to let us have tap water to drink! We’d ordered other drinks as well! No water arrived sadly.

Pros: Vegan Buddha bowl great

Cons: Tap water seemed to be an impossible dream

Just Ok

Lovely outdoor seating and a lot of vegan options on the menu. The food was a bit bland and boring, I wish they were
a bit more creative with sauces, spices etc. We tried to order a cocktail bur it was TERRIBLE ...

Pros: Lots of vegan options, something for everybody, Chill vibe and outdoor seating

Cons: Terrible cocktails, Bland food

Ok, but not amazing (review for end february 2019)

It's a popular tourist restaurant and seems to constantly be overcrowded.
It was ok I guess, but we didn't feel super comfortable. The whole concept is very commercialized and hyped, with no time for actually engaging with the place and the staff, but rather finishing your food so somebody else can take your place. Might have just been the day, but our experience was mäh.

I had the Tofu Buddha Bowl (vegan, 13,80 €) with tofu marinated with soy sauce and ginger, sesame seeds, seasoned vegetables, asian coleslaw (raw salad), homemade vegan majo and piadina. Tasted alright, especially the tofu was nice, but otherwise the dish was not memorable.
My companion had a homemade vegetarian piadina, not sure which one any more.

Updated from previous review on 2019-08-15

Pros: food was alright, vegan options available

Cons: overcrowded, staff very busy and stressed, rather pricey

Delicious vegan food, price and service let it down

The food here is really nice - i actually came here twice while in Malta with my omni GF mum and there were options for both of us. The lentil burger Buddha bowl was particularly good - though mainly because of the variety of veggies and the flatbread, rather than the actual lentil burger!

I would say though that the food is overpriced: €13,80 for a Buddha bowl, €11,80 for vegan pasta and €9,80 for a piadina (essentially a glorified sandwich). Non vegan options were also cheaper than their vegan equivalent... and to replace bread with gluten free bread cost €2,50.

Most of the waiting staff are friendly, so I feel a bit mean saying service could be improved, but the man who I assume is the manager really needs a crash course in customer service. No more than 1 minute after ordering I wanted to alter my order but was just met with a borderline rude “no” rather than any polite explanation why. I didn’t see him smile once, say thank you/you’re welcome or any other general pleasantries to us or any other customers which just brought down the whole experience a notch. In general we also found them to be quite inflexible with regards to what could be made vegan or gluten free (e.g. by removing cheese or removing bread).

At the end we were also almost short changed €10 but my mum noticed, so make sure to check your change...

Pros: Several vegan options, Food is delicious

Cons: Expensive, Customer service

Excellent food & service with outdoor seating

We've been twice and tried different items. Everything was fresh and delicious. The outdoor seating under umbrellas in a breezy street is the ideal location for an outdoor lunch in Malta. Still too hot, head upstairs to the cool AC interior. The staff are very friendly and vegan savvy. 3 out of their 4 desserts were vegan.

Pros: Reasonably priced, friendly staff, outdoor seating

The best food in Malta

I went there 2 times because food was amazing and extremely tasty. I enjoyed every bite. They offer many options for vegetarians and vegans. Everyone will leave with the best taste in a mouth for sure. And service was excellent😉thank you Soul food for feeding me😉
