Vegetarian platter is refreshing!

The vegetarian platter was good, but had quite a lot of items with dairy in it. Luckily I was sharing with a vegetarian who ate those bits — but be mindful if you’re vegan & having it on your own. The falafel were incredible but quite oily. Seating is all outside with nice ambience, but the servers took away all our cutlery before we finished eating for some reason. Would’ve gone back otherwise, but still a good option if you’re vegan😄

Correcto y agradable

Restaurante iraní con platos vegetarianos, alguna opción vegana no del todo bien identificada (adjunto carta en la fotografía, precios de 2023).

El plato vegetariano es una ración generosa y sabrosa, pero me resultó un poco seco en general, eché en falta más untables para los bocados y falafel. La masa de las empanadas buenísima, pero con poco contenido.

No había probado previamente comida iraní, es posible que mi valoración se vea influida por el desconocimiento.

Few vegan/vegetarian options

I had the vegetarian plate with lout the omelette and it was good. If you are on the mood for some vegan Middle Eastern food, this is the place for you! Delicious empanadas!

More than adequate choice

This was a nice break from the norm. The food was fresh and the owner understood our needs.

The Empanadas are good

This place is my first stop when I landed in Cuba, and honestly it was Ok, I give it a 3/5 …i liked that they have a 3 vegan options, the platter, the burger and the wrap, which I had all three of them, the empanadas to me was the best item. I do still appreciate them for having vegan options.

Pros: Couple of vegan, mostly vegetarian options, Nice staff, Somewhat affordable

Cons: Not very tasty, Small portions, Food a bit overcooked

Middle Eastern in Havana

We had 2 vegetarian platters which were fairly good. Although we realised one of them had tuna in the potato salad which wasn't great. The falafels and babaganoush were nice. Pretty surroundings. Not sure how much of it was vegan.

Middle eastern food of high standard

A refreshing change from the typical Cuban food. Not expensive by touristy Havana standard. Good quality and presentation. Good service. We had a feast.

Nice persian food

I liked this place. It has style and they offer quite a few vegetarian dishes. Some of those veggie dishes are or can be made vegan if you ask for no dairy. I've tried their naan filled with falafel and veggies. It was pretty good. They usually serve it with masto khiar which is a yoghurt based sauce but I asked for no dairy and they gave me some other sauce. Second time I went there I wanted to have their veggie burger but they were out of bread which reduced my options and I had falafel again but with lentil rice instead. They also have interesting persian inspired drinks.

Pros: tasty, more veggie options than in most places in Cuba, price is not bad either

Cons: they could have more dairy free options :)

Iranian food

They have a vegetarian section on the menu and found plenty of vegan food. The falafel was good (and I'm not usually a huge falafel fan). We were served on a patio overlooking a garden, so the atmosphere was very calming. It's also right next to a park.

Unexpected beauty and variety

It is not easy to cook Iranian dishes with Cuban ingredients, but this restaurant does a wonderful job. The variety plate included a delicious vegetable tart and well-made falafel.

Pros: Lovely setting, beautiful presentation, All dishes were delicious, Non-veg options for my non-veg partner

Cons: None

Poor Parrot

The food is okay-ish with more vegetarian options than in most Cuban restaurants. But they keep a parrot in a small cage as a decoration, so if you care about animal welfare, don't go there.

Good food but took some time

Nice staff and good food. Nothing crazy amazing but it was the best veggie friendly food I’ve been to in Havana so far. Drinks were good too I had the pina colada and my partner had a Mojito. My drink was good but his was very strong, be sure to mix it.

Pros: good food

Bon repas moyen oriental à La Havane

Super repas avec options véganes. Nous avons mangé un mezzé délicieux vegane, il faut le spécifier. En plus un bref spectacle de danse traditionnelle.

Lovely setting, several vegan options

We came here twice during our stay in Havana, as it has more vegan options than most. They have a full page of vegetarian options, most of which can be made vegan. We had the falafel wrap which was tasty but quite small. The highlight was the coconut dessert, cucurucho. It's not vegan, however, as it contains honey.

The make the nicest iced tea I had Havana, and their garden makes for a lovely place to spend some time on a hot afternoon.

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff

Cons: Small portions

loved this place

Really cute place, lovely decoration, friendly staff and delicious food!! We ordered two vegan plates (specify that you want the vegetarian plate as a vegan one, so without yoghurt and the herbal omelette that contains eggs). You can order everything that is on this plate separately as a bigger version. Definitely recommend this place, great vibes!

Nice atmosphere

Beautiful place with a nice atmosphere and cozy vibe in Vedado. They have a separate vegetarian menu which is mostly vegan. I had a mixed platter that was quite good, perhaps a bit bland. Though there were only tourists at the restaurant it didn't feel touristy.

A must visit in Cuba!

I visited this place twice while in Havana. The salads were good portions and fresh enough. The falafel were hot and crispy. The falafel wrap was a little weird, they cooked the lettuce into the wrap, but the lack of veg options in Havana make this place worth visiting. The staff is very nice.

Pros: It exists!, Friendly staff, Good Falafel

Cons: Weird loud buzzing sound

yummy takeout

My husband went out searching for food our first day in Havana and found this place. We had falafel and a sampler patter. All was delicious but on the pricier side.

Pros: Takeout, Falafel

Cons: pricey

Average food quality but good veggie options.

It's hard to find vegetarian food in Havana so this is a good option if you'e in the Vedado area. It has a vegetarian menu with some vegan options. The food quality is average but when you're in Havana there's not exactly a lot of choice on offer!

Unique gem in Havana

Topoly is an Iranian restaurant located in the Vedado area of town. It has both outdoor and indoor seating with friendly waiting staff.

There are a number of vegan options available (just ask for the dishes to come with the salsa de frutas (fruit sauce) instead of the mayonnaise. We particularly enjoyed the middle-eastern spring rolls, the veggie patty and the salad!

For vegetarians there are around 7 options available.

Pros: Variety of food available, Peaceful outdoor seating, Upmarket feel

Cons: Vegetarian menu could be bigger, Serves meat, Can be quiet during breakfast
