Amazing food, good wine, good service everything you want out of a good meal 10/10 will comeback again!
Completely vegan restaurant great place to bring friends and family!
Friendly staff and delicious buffet worth waiting for the table as the restaurant is so busy during lunch time. We’ll coming back again to try a la cart dishes next time. Food is very tasty 😋. I can highly recommend it to my friends and family. Thumbs up!
Though I am not a great fan of vegan food in general, but the food served here was amazing. Seitan Strahanoff and Vegan Roast, both of them were delicious.Would surely come back..
I read about Chef Ben's story and decided to give this vegan restaurant a try. Not that I am vegan, but I really enjoyed the food. The restaurant is cosy but booking on a weekend is a must. You might have to wait even of you have booked as vegan food does take time to be served. We had the fresh carrot juice with ginger which was refreshing. Then we had the soup of the day which was fresh pumpkin cream soup which came with the letters 'enjoy' on it, little coffee style gesture which I liked. The pita with three different dips was also fresh and tasty. For the mains, we had the vegan roast which had the most deliciously seasoned veggies, potato and parsnip mash, seintal and a nice gravy. I had seintal for the first time and found it rubbery and hard to chew but maybe that's how it is. The stroganoff was rich and creamy. Desserts looked really nice, but I didn't have any space left in my stomach after the starters a d mains. Plus I was also guilty that people who had made reservations were still waiting for a table. Arrive early is what I would say. Good concept and really lovely vegan food.
The Vegan food was pretty good. Its not very cheap though. For some reason service for us was quite slow. Plan enough time to order and eat.
I have frequented this establishment on many occasions. I very rarely give such a high rating but this is the best place for veggies in London. The evening al la carte menu is great and offers good selection of healthy veggie/vegan fodder. However the lunchtime buffet is the showpiece. A selection of hot, cold and raw foods that are healthy and delicious. I see some reviews have said a small selection, well how much food do you want a place to put out just to meet what you call a selection? There is plenty of food and the staff are friendly and helpful. Give in a visit you will not go hungry, disappointed or feeling you have been shop- robbed.
My friend and I were at a seminar over the weekend, just down the road from this beauty. One night, we got 1.20 minutes for dinner. We didn't know where to go, just as I was about to whip out Zomato- a health fellow from the seminar walked past us looking satisfied. "Where did you eat?" "Amazing food, do you like vegan?" "YES!" I screamed in the middle of the road, "no!" she said craving non-rabbit food. "Well there's this great vegan place called 22..." "I KNOW IT, I'VE WANTED TO TRY IT FOR AGES!" So off we went, I dragged her to 222 Veggie Vegan.
It was full. As in, there was a flood of people queuing and at that moment I felt an abundance of pride. Wow. All of these people are looking after their health.
But, we had no more time to queue and wait. So we literally went and had pizza (great pizza).
Then came the next day... lunch, we get 1.20 minutes. She looks at me, and drags me to 222 Veggie Vegan. I felt nothing but pride in that moment. We get there before anyone else and grab a table. Then floods and floods of people came not five minutes later. Wow! Amazing!
Oh yeah, the food! Really lovely, filling and creative. I cannot wait to go there for dinner with Deema.ac . I had everything that was on offer in the lunch buffet. And so did everyone else.
Do you want to know the funny thing?
This was on World Vegan Day. Without our prior knowledge.
My friend and her husband took us to this place for lunch. Table reservation is highly recommended. The place is super crowded on weekends.
The buffet is great. The spread is a combination of various cuisines. The chole is the best from Indian cuisine. I had English Breakfast tea which tastes very good. My friend had Strawberry Smoothie which she said is yum.
One of my favourite places in London, without any doubt. In fact, couple of times we had to go back disappointed because we didn't reserve the seats and the place was full, but instead of getting angry, we felt happy for them that they are doing well :-)
They serve buffet for lunch and A La Carte for dinner, we have tried both and liked equally. For regular visits, buffet seems more attractive as the cost is less, but we really liked their A La Carte also. There are very limited vegan all-you-can-eat buffets in London, and this is the only one we found where the spread is quite healthy as well.
The place is bit small, and menu options could seem a bit limited, but hey, we would still rate this as one of the best places.
This review is only for Buffet-100% vegan restaurant.
Ambience - Most importantly don't get misguided by their fancy website. Keep your expectations low since a high ceiling and pretty lanterns are the only features to a cramped dining area.
Price - the niche food is an attraction, however all you can eat for 7.50£ in Central London is truly a miracle. Only the cost alone is enough to entice a crowd of young people like us and food enthusiasts.
Food - Not a lot of options to choose from but everything was delicious. African cuisine at its best. Chickpeas, rice, stuffed tomato, roasted potato, salad to name a few. Would have been great if the food had name tags for people to recall and recommend.
Staff- Friendly staff. I have been twice here and on both occasion I was given a time check. This must be due to the shortage of seating area and long queue over the weekends.
This place is worth a visit or two. The platter is repeated every day makes one feel the niche is no longer niche
Like all buffet restaurants, make an early to queue.
I love this place! Great food, great service. My only gripe is that they no longer do the lunchtime buffet. That buffet was amazing 🤩 now it's all a la carte. Shame 😔
Food was great, as was the dessert we had. Great little vegan hideaway in London.
Since opening in 2004, 222 Vegan Cuisine has aimed to provide west London with a welcoming atmosphere and "satisfying, delicious food which is also very good for you". All dishes are prepared to order by Ben and his kitchen using fresh natural ingredients, and techniques which preserve taste and nutritional value. This means that any special requests can be make just for you and you can trust your needs will be met.
222 strives to offer dishes that are as delicious as they are healthy. The menu is low-fat, low-salt, non-GM and organic where possible.
As someone who follows a vegan lifestyle, I appreciate a diverse and delicious menu that is a delightful celebration of plant-based cuisine, and it's clear that the chefs are passionate about creating dishes that are not only good for us but also incredibly tasty. There were dishes inspired by African cuisine, the Caribbean, Mediterranean, different areas of Asia, etc.
One aspect that sets 222 apart is their commitment to accommodating various dietary preferences and restrictions. Their excellent gluten-free options are a game-changer for individuals with gluten sensitivities or allergies. It's rare to find a vegan restaurant that offers such a wide array of gluten-free choices that are both safe and scrumptious. From gluten-free pasta dishes to mouth-watering desserts, they've got it all covered.
My Celiac dining partner and I found the entire dining experience outstanding. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for everything from intimate dinners to group gatherings. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions about their menu.
The legendary 222 Vegan Cuisine is a true treasure for the local vegan community and anyone looking for exceptional gluten-free options. The value it brings to the community, its dedication to plant-based excellence, and its commitment to catering to diverse dietary needs make it a must-visit restaurant.
If you're in the area and want to savour delicious vegan and gluten-free dishes in a warm and welcoming setting, 222 Vegan Cuisine is the place to be. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delectable offerings! Afterall you can only try so many dishes in one visit.

Pretty quiet on a Tuesday lunch but the food is high end and beautifully presented.
Disappointed in the switch from buffet to A La Carte, since I don't get to sample such a wide variety of dishes anymore.
Great place to have vegan healthy comfort food. I loved everything we ordered. The burger was super tasty and I normally do not like vegan burgers. The curry was also delicious. The cheesecake is one of the best vegan cheesecakes I tried. The atmosphere is very quite and peaceful, the service is great too!
Very tasty and fresh food. They have an open kitchen where you can see them preparing your order, hot and fresh..The service was nice. Quite many options and variety to choose from.
Beautiful food.
The Egusi is unique and exotic. Beautiful presented.
Perfect service. ❤️😊
Highly recommended. ❤️😊

Ben was very attentive and helpful when I last came in on May 9th.
They no longer carry my favorite meal, but the Ben’s Special was quite delicious and they STILL carry my favorite dessert on the planet, the 222 pancake!! The appetizer pictured was the artichoke heart appetizer. 👍🏼 Everything was delicious!! 😋
4 of us had lunch & all loved our meals. Such a lovely, truly vegan place to visit on our short trip to London! Thank you Ben & staff 😊
One of my favorite choices in London. The patty was remarkably juicy and succulent. It was accompanied by a medley of fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and avocado, all served on a perfectly toasted vegan bun. The combination of flavors and textures was absolutely delightful, making it a top-notch choice for those seeking a vegan alternative to the classic burger experience.
What a wonderful little place the staff are very friendly,the food is form the other world all the flavour where there the price are very reasonable I highly recommend the oysters mushroom raclette 🤤🤤🤤🤤
