Lovely spot

Fab little market spot with some outside seating. Food always tastes super fresh and delicious. Who knew celeriac could taste so good? The Kebab is incredible too. The staff are always lovely too and very accommodating. Menu hasn’t changed since I’ve been going there (a good few years) so would be cool to see some more/new options at some point. Think I’ve tried everything off the menu at this point multiple times but it always goes down well.

Hidden away but worth finding

Had the 'vebab' (£7) which was very nice. Was told it would take ten minutes which isn't a problem and you'd rather wait for good food. Especially when you can see a lot of care is taken over it. A couple of benches just outside but not sure they were covered if it were to rain.

Best Vegan Burger Takeaway

Love this place! The nachos are so yummy! We have even done their ‘VBelly At Home’ takeaway.

Fantastic Shroom Balls

Went to Tooting especially for this place and it didn't disappoint. It was a little bit of a cold day so we sat inside which was a bit noisy (in terms of loud music) but quiet in terms of not many people at the time. It wasn't child friendly (only tall stools available for seating)

The owner was very friendly and I had a nice chat with him. The shroom balls were the absolute best and I had the moving mountains burger(great), one of my party had the kebab (good). The brownie and ice cream were also excellent

Pros: Very friendly owner, Great food

Cons: Communal area of the venue was a bit noisy, Not very child friendly

Great food!

Only tried the 'fish' burger made from nori battered celeriac, and it was great! Wasn't sure how celeriac would go down as I'm usually not a fan, but it worked really well. Saw a few people eating other stuff and it all looked really good too, will definitely be back to try.

It's tucked away but I would recommend travelling down to try this place. It's quite near to the station and has both indoor and outdoor seating. Owner was super nice too!

I went mid afternoon and food came super quick. I think it's also good value for money.

Pros: All vegan, Very tasty, Conveniently located

Cons: N/a

friendly but

the owner is super friendly and it's great to finally have a vegan option in tooting however, I have a problem with vegan places being over priced and inaccessible to everyone. I had a brownie a few days ago which was £5 and did not live up to the price at all, basically a slab of raw batter😡have had other food there in the past and it's usually pretty good, though it's definitely fast food and not very healthy.

Pros: all vegan menu, very friendly staff, good service

Cons: pricey, brownie disappointing , bit greasy :/

Tasty food, bit of a vegan oasis in Tooting

Had the wild mushroom arancini and seitan kebab, both were tasty and filling, the the kebab was full of salad, just the way I like it. All food wrapped in paper and cardboard boxes - good to see no plastic being used.

Pros: Tasty and filling, Fast food but options come with plenty of salad, Friendly service

Cons: None. You’ve just got to find it in the market!

Lovely food, lovely owner

Tried the mushroom croquettes which were delicious with the garlic cashew dip which was gorgeous! Also had the faux bab with skin on fries. My dad had the homemade burger and my mum had the stew! We all really enjoyed our food. Lovely owner. Would definitely recommend it.

Very tasty food.

We had a lovely experience at VBelly. We tried the Nuts Beans Squash dish as well as the Faux-Bab.

Pros: Only vegan options!

Cons: Portion sizes could be bigger for the price.

So pleasantly surprised!

What a delight to find this! After many years of not eating fish - its great to find a place that does a mock battered fish - and does it incredibly well.
The mushroom croquettes and fauxbab are also well worth having.
Will be going again for sure.

Pros: All vegan, Does takeaway/deliveroo, Super friendly staff

Cons: Not much indoor seating

Great place at the back of Tooting Market. The food I had was exceptional.

Nori wrapped celeriac in beer batter was probably the best vegan “fish” I’ve ever had, served with homemade chip shop curry sauce. I had a spicy bean stew to follow which doesn’t sound very promising but trust me it was excellent, rich with olive oil and a smokey paprika tomato based sauce, also containing well cooked veg including a smattering of kale. Topped off with some creamy cashew confection this dish was greater than the sum of it’s parts. Can’t wait to go back and sample the rest of the menu. If you’re vegan, or vegan curious, and anywhere south London this place is s must.

Pros: All vegan, Top nosh, Outdoor table and decent beer

Go to takeaway for the fauxbab, so good to have a local vegan restaurant. Food is fresh and not full of oil which is a mega bonus.

Vegan lunch stop

It’s great to find a place where the whole menu is vegan and you can choose what you fancy rather than settle for what you can eat. I had the daily special which was a mediterranean stew, delicious :)

Friendly Staff & Delish Food!

Have eaten at Herbies and also ordered takeaways. I absolutely adore their burger, as does my meat-eating husband, but all of the food is great! Really friendly owner & staff, beer & wine also available, a fantastic addition to the Tooting markets - and one you can definitely take your carnivorous friends to as well!

Nice Vegan Food Stand

This little vegan food stand is around the side of Tooting Market. It's got a good menu and the food is served pretty quickly.

I had the squash & green bean satay with cauliflower rice and heated it up for lunch the next day. It was delish.

I'd come here again, although I'd usually be more in the market for things like wraps and sandwiches at around the £5 mark from a food stand.

Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Tasty food, Handy location at Tooting Market, Friendly guy running it

Cons: More wrap/sandwich options would be good

Fantastic Food

I was lucky enough to be able to sample some of the small plates when Herbies provided nibbles for a little party. All of the food was amazing with the wild mushroom croquettes deserving a special mention.
A great addition to Tooting Market.
