Best restaurant we’ve been to in a while

I had the vegan fried shrimps and the vegan ravioli, and it was delicious. Restaurant is a wonderful mix of a romantic environment but still presents modern an busy with an open kitchen. New London-favourite! Also, food arrived fast!
Also has fancy offers for meat-eaters, so I had no problem bringing my in-laws! 10/10 #Veganuary

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Not your standard “boring” vegan food, Absolutely delicious

trrible

tribble place, the vegan shrimps has nothing to do with shrimps - its just tufo, the food (curry and shrimps) was just ok, the waiter was awful. the first dish took 1h to arrive and the second 2h. if it wasn't pre-paid we would get up.

Jolly at the Folly

A business lunch for a carnivore, veggie and vegan can be a bit hit and miss, even in London, so the place of choice was The Folly.

Having eaten and enjoyed the vegan food here a couple of years back, it was time to see if they’re consistent and in a word … Yes

With a beer some table water and a menu each chose pretty quickly as it’s not a crammed menu but a very good selection meaning you can narrow it down to a couple of choices quickly.

I’ll focus only on the vegan options.

Of the 9 ‘nibbles’ and ‘to share’ options there was only 1 vegan option … until we asked for the ‘Napoli Flatbread’ with vegan cheese. It was a great nibble for 3 of us. The flatbread was loaded with fresh rocket, red onion, sun-dried tomatoes and vegan cheese. So mush so that what fell off the top needed a fork. Fresh, tasty and worth it.

Of the 9 starters 3 are vegan and while we didn’t have any this visit I have tried 2 of them before - the tempura samphire was a delicious chimichurri with alioli, the vegan shrimp lollipops with a sweet chilli and soy really played with your mind as they’re like the real thing.

2 of the 3 salads, 3 of the 11 mains and 1 of the 5 burgers was vegan

Opting for a main of ‘Malai Kofta Curry’ it wasn’t impressive to look at and could have been a “Wetherspoons Curry” and to a degree the rice and naan were the same, but that’s where any similarity ends. The curry tasted really good. It was creamy and the vegan kofta gave it a great texture.

There is also 1 vegan dessert.

With a couple of beers it was as good as before.

Would I go again. Yes and I will.

Would I recommend. Yes.

Pros: Good food, Nice vibe, Pretty place

Cons: Expensive
