Wish I'd Found it Sooner! - Edit
Found this place fairly close to leaving Samui, wish I'd found it sooner! The menu is extensive and there are more vegan options than non-vegan. I had the vegan strawberry pancakes and they were amazing! Four generous pancakes, light and fluffy and not too sweet with a really delicious strawberry sauce. Also tried the vegan chocolate mousse cake which was divine! They also have some wonderful drinks such as a turmeric latte which I really enjoyed.
Read moreThe place is also really cool and the prices are not too bad compared to other western places on Saumi. I hope I get to visit again before I leave and will definitely come back next time.
If only they were fully vegan!
Pros: Generous and delicious portions, Nice place to chill, work
Cons: Not completely vegan

Deliciously healthy food - Edit
We had dinner here one night and ended up coming back for breakfast the next day! I had the forest bowl with pumpkin, black rice, mushies, kale and sweet potato. It was so lovely and nourishing! The next day I chose the blueberry smoothie bowl and let me tell you it was the most amazing thing ever!! I will start making my own when I get home for sure!
Read morePros: Very clean whole foods and great taste
Cons: Slightly expensive, as with everything on samui

Nice and hip - Edit
The atmosphere at Wild Tribes is very pleasant and relaxing. I have tried pretty much the entire menu and clearly the ingredients they use are of high quality. My go-to is the Veg Burger, very "clean" but still tasty. Wrap, burritos, and various dips are all worth a try.
Read moreCompared to other vegan-friendly places Wild Tribes is on the pricey side but don't let that stop you from trying it out.

Thank you for the visit and taking the time to review our little restaurant. We are happy to hear that you had a positive experience and enjoyed our food.
Read moreConcerning the prices, we offer breakfast options from THB 120. Main courses (e.g. a Buddha Bowl) cost around THB 200. There's as well free unlimited lemon infused water and good Wi-Fi. We use only fresh products, everything is made from scratch, and we buy organic ingredients whenever possible. Hence we feel that our prices are very reasonable in comparison to other Western restaurants, but we acknowledge that we are more expensive than local Thai restaurants.
Thank you again for your visit Wild Wolf and we hope to see you soon again with your tribe in the Wild Tribe Cafe ;-)

Good place - Edit
Not the best place to learn vegan food on the island, but it is quite pleasant. Ordered a Burger and Panini, it was delicious, but not presentable. Who does not care about the appearance of food - welcom :)
Read morePros: Delicious, Fast Delivery, Lost of vegan options
Cons: Mismatch of the picture in the menu and food, The price is a little too high
VisitNaturalDetoxRes
Dear Sasha,
Read moreThank you for taking the time to write a review about our little restaurant. And thank you for pointing out the mismatch of the picture, we will definitely check that when printing new menus.
Concerning the price we offer meals from THB 120 (breakfast, pad thai...) to THB 320 (big burrito with lots of avocado), the average price for a meal will be around THB 200. As well we offer unlimited free lemon-infused water and herbal tea.
We look forward to seeing you soon again :-)

One of the best places for vegetarian in Thailand - Edit
Local vegan Thai food is very tasty, we've visited this place several times and tried all curries and sweet bowls. A lot of vegan options. Actually this place is primarily for vegans/vegetarians and it's a shame for HappyCow that they do not allow to give 5 stars for this place.

Thank you so much for the friendly review! It's not possible to give us 5 stars as we have the possibility to order chicken on the side. Happycow limits the stars to maximum 4 for that reason. That said, 90 % of our menu is vegan and we are doing our best in promoting the vegan lifestyle to meat eaters. Actually several of our clients had their first "vegan meal in a restaurant" at ours.

Not bad - Edit
We were excited to see some clearly labelled vegan Thai options and ordered the massaman and the red curry, and some rice paper rolls for entree. The rice paper rolls were nice and fresh but mostly flavourless except for a lot of pickled radish. The two curries were very generous servings, one would be enough for two people easily! But again lacked flavour. Nice enough, and good mix of tofu and vegetables but just not the flavour a Thai curry should have overall good to have clear vegan options but not the most amazing food.
Read morePros: Clear vegan options , Huge serves , Nice place
Cons: Flavour
VisitNaturalDetoxRes
Dear Fessther,
Read moreThank you for taking the time to write a review of our place. We take your advice very seriously. Our vegan Thai curries are our bestsellers as they pack a big healthy portion of veggies, cubed tofu and organic rice for only THB 180. We serve them not too spicy, as most of the guests prefer it like this. In a typical Thai restaurant curries will be served much spicier indeed.

Dear Fao,
Read moreThank you very much for the kind review.
We believe our restaurant offers quality food options for quite reasonable prices: from THB 120 for breakfast (water & tea are free) to around THB 200 for several 'main course' dishes (Buddha bowls, smoothie bowls, Thai food,...).
Health shots, cold-pressed juices and XL smoothies range from THB 80 (Kombucha Pro Biotic soft drink) to maximum THB 140 (XL Superfood Smoothie).
We hope to see you again one day on the island and wish you all the best Fao!

Nice setting - Edit
The set up is nice with plants around it, free ginger tea and water. They have several vegan options. We went for the vegan curries. The panang curry was quite decent and the red one was ok but unusally sweet as it had a lot of pineapple in it, which I had not expected as was not specified on the menu (I'm slightly allergic to pineapple so left all the pinapple for my husband to eat which left me with only a few veggies). Green curry lacked in flavor and the massaman curry frankly was just bland with hardly any spices at all. We had ordered spicy chickpeas as a side, but those were not really spicy either. We have had really good thai curries on our trip so these ones just could not compete. Maybe the Western food options would have been a better choice at this restaurant. Also tried two smoothies, the masala one and one with basil in it - unfortunately the blender did not blend it fine enough so there were quit big pieces of basil in there which I really did not like, the masala one also was not my cup of tea. Best stick to the free ginger tea which is actually tasty.

Thank you for your kind review.
Read moreOur curries are for some guests too spicy, for others not spicy at all. We try to make the curries medium spicy, as most of our guests prefer that.

Nice little find - Edit
We visited this place once, it was a lovely find and the restaurant itself was great, but the area was a little dodgy.
Read moreWhen we arrived, we weren’t too sure what to do and no one was around to ask so, we just sat down, and someone finally came out from the back, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The hummus was good although I didn’t like the celery or peppers there were still enough of the other sticks to enjoy all the hummus. My wife enjoyed the avocado dip which she orders as well as tucking into mine for a try!
For main I had one of the special curries which was delicious, full of fresh flavour and my wife had the Viva burrito which was good but not as good as the curry in my opinion which I think was mainly due to a harder to chew green piece of vegetable in the wrap causing it to become very messy.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed this place and would have visited again if it was in a better location to everything else in the little town.
If you are in the area I would highly suggest you give this place a go if you fancy something healthy and a bonus is you get free water and a flavoured healthy tea!
Would have been 5 star if fully vegan!
Pros: vegan alternatives for most
Cons: location

Why??? - Edit
Why they started serving meet and left just a few options for vegans for lunch. And even veggie burher is not vegan - bun isnt vegan. They do have smoothies and juices, but so few real vegan options. Just a shame Moreover, I never had so bad service so far. They just dont come to you. And when you are asking the waitress to come shr just comes for a sec.and when you starting to ask something just going #facepalm. Really bad and not caring. Food has almist no taste. No salt. No spices. Very small amount of sauce comes aside. But looking good for photos. And tastes good after adding lots of stuff.
Read moreVisitNaturalDetoxRes
It's always interesting to read comments from a local competitor. It is well know on the island that Olesya has a prejudice against restaurants that serve a mixture of vegan and vegetarian items.
Read moreOur menu is 90 % vegan, and 10 % vegetarian.
We offer the choice of a vegan burger and a vegetarian burger (the bun has been made with whey - a milk protein, but the rest of the dish is 100% vegan). The distinction is clearly mentioned in the menu with symbols.
Complaining about 'no service' is unfair, as it is clearly mentioned on table stands and on every page of the menu one should place its order at the counter (just like in Starbucks). Once ready the order will be brought to the table.
We are grateful for Olesya's comment that our food looks great: we use only the freshest ingredients and try to get locally sourced vegetables, that' s why the colours are so vibrant. We work hard to make sure the presentation of every dish is on point.
This improves the guests' tasting experience and appreciation of used ingredients, but unfortunately not in this case.
We do hope that Olesya will give us another chance and that her future visit will better meet our standards of excellence.
