Our
Comments:
Not a totally vegetarian restaurant but there is
only one non-vegetarian main option. Most dishes on the
inventive menu are vegan and of excellent quality. It is
very good value for this type of cuisine. You will
definitely need to book. Specify you are vegan on
ordering. The menu changes frequently but at the time of
research the following dishes were vegan, or in one
case, could be adapted to vegan.
Starters: Carrot & black cumin soup, ‘Not-duck’ rolls
with cucumber, spring onions & plum sauce, Beetroot
falafels with smoked chilli & lime dressing.
Mains: Butternut squash, mushroom, sage& lemon thyme
risotto, Haggis with braised red cabbage, neeps &
tatties and red wine & onion gravy, Thali plate.
Desserts: Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream & toffee
sauce, Coconut pannacotta with lime & kiwi salsa.

Chickpea Curry with tamarind and Mushroom, Nut & Sage Burgers.
Everything is vegetarian; it is approved by the Vegetarian
Society and is well worth supporting. |

Our Comments: Pizza and pasta
takeaway and home delivery. The pizza bases are vegan,
so you can have a margherita or vegetariana (oven
roasted aubergine, courgettes & peppers with
caramelised onions and tomato) pizza without cheese. The
bases are good and if you take your own vegan cheese
they will cook it on your pizza for you. When our
researchers did this they were also given money off
the order. The
garlic pizza bread and tomato & basil bread are
made with the same dough as the pizza bases and are
also vegan. If
you pick up any pizza before 6pm it is a very
reasonable £5. Free
delivery on orders over £10, the minimum order
is £8. |

Our
Comments: Excellent Asian restaurant and takeaway. There is
a wide range of vegan options. The staff are very helpful,
friendly and good at telling you if a menu item is vegan. Of
the vegetarian starters the mushroom pakora, samosas and
stuffed chillis are vegan but the onion bhajis contain egg.
If
you ask they will do animal-free fried rice. Of the breads
the roti are suitable, ask for them without butter. Students
get a 10% discount on meals or takeaways. Home delivery
service is available. No alcohol is served..

Our Comments:
They advertise the fact they cater
for vegans but it is best to inform them anyway. The veggie
Tacos, Burritos and Chilli are suitable. The Nachos and
veggie Enchiladas, Chimichangas & Fajita and the
Quesadilla Supreme are also ok if you order them without
cheese and/or sour cream. If you bring your own vegan cheese
they will use it in your dish. If
you are there in a large group for a booked party there will
be Tequilas and Sombreros and everything. Something
of a Cardiff institution. |
