Can't believe I've only just discovered this little gem of a place, today. Received a warm welcome on my arrival and was delighted to find that as a vegetarian, following a gluten free diet, I was spoiled for choice. I eventually decided to have The 'Buddha Bowl' and struggled to decide between the 'Mellow Melon' or 'Orange Fiesta' fresh fruit juices so decided to try the melon...followed by the orange a few minutes later because I'd enjoyed the first drink so much. It's so nice to be spoiled for choice and I loved my choices - it was all so tasty and fresh, not to mention beautifully presented. Now I'm facing another separate dilemma. Instead of cooking, I am going to treat myself and take another meal home for my evening meal but can't decide whether to have another delicious Buddha bowl or try the risotto. I'm just not used to being this spoiled for choice! �
Visited for the first time today with my daughter. We had a lovely lunch. Great food, very friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. We loved it so much we came back for tea and the best chocolate cake ever! We will definitely be back and would recommend
The food was very tasty and well-presented, and I especially enjoyed the dhal with rice and one of the smoothies. However I really miss the fish tank that they used to have in the cafe a few months ago, and the little white doggy, which I didn't see this time 😢
I had the vegan breakfast which exceeded my expectations, although I felt the placement of a spring roll and falafel was quite random. It was the first time I tried tofu and it was extremely nice. Even the toast was spot on! For £6, it was good value for money, especially knowing I could eat everything in the cafe without having to worry. The smoothies were nice too, but were a bit more like juice since they weren’t as thick as a smoothie. I really enjoyed the vibe of the cafe as everyone was so friendly there, it really reminded me of a cafe I used to work at with its chill atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back.
They’re also on this fantastic app called ‘Too Good To Go’ which gives you the food a place has leftover at the end of the day at a reduced price so that it doesn’t go to waste! Definitely check it out if you want to save food from being wasted, or just fancy a surprise for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
I visited to pick up the 'Magic Bag' from the Too Good To Go App (Buy a portion of random leftover food). I got to sample the spicy Falafel, a portion of Daal and boiled rice, couscous with red beans, carrot, brown lentils, cabbage and beetroot and a spring roll. The Falafels were really tasty and the food good value and very hearty. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the vicinity of Afflecks Palace (It is on the ground floor Oldham Street entrance).
Vegan review:
Ordered a ‘too-good-to-go’, I got soup which was tasty plus a box of rice, falafel, spring roll and salad.
Good value for money!
Amazing! Really good food for really good prices. Would eat here again.
very friendly staff and good, super cheap food. i had the all day breakfast and a banana strawberry smoothie.
The food is gorgeous, quick and excellent value for money. The owner is lovely and always makes sure you're happy with your food. The atmosphere is relaxed and calm, not pretentious, and you never feel rushed. Love this spot and come here every time I'm in town :)
Delicious food and excellent customer service. Really friendly staff. I was breastfeeding my baby at the table, and got brought a glass of water 😊 Makes a change to the funny looks we sometimes get in places. Will definitely be going again when we are next in the city.
Lovely! My friends and I stumbled across this place and enjoyed every plate and smoothie we ordered. The food was extremely filling, had an All Day English Breakfast at around 1 and was still full when dinner time came. The staff were very friendly and one of them even took a photo with us in their grand mirror, explained the origins of his paintings on the wall etc :)
One of the best vegan meals that I have eaten. Customer service is very good and you are well looked after. Atmosphere in the place is really tranquil and almost feels like you are in a different part of the world. Amazing brownie and mango and strawberry smoothie. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Manchester.
