    Good food and vegan vibe. Discovered Lovegift Vegan almost by accident. I strongly recommend their dal and vegetable curry. The staff were more than friendly and took time to walk me through the venue. They also do an excellent Pineapple Crumble. Would love to see them host events in the space which is a decent size. They already have a small selection of books on offer

    I walked past and picked up the large rainbow platter with quinoa and a sorrel & ginger drink. Lovely flavours and healthy vegan options. Maybe the portion size was a little smaller than expected as it was the large (Β£12). Other than that top marks and will return soon :)

    The rainbow platter was really tasty, such an interesting combination of flavours and the crumble was perfection. Wish we lived closer so that we could visit regularly.

    Lovely atmosphere, food and staff! The atmosphere is so calm and relaxing, perfect to catch up while grabbing some vegan munch The food is so tasty and filling - we loved it! There was a variety of dishes to choose from and it was difficult picking just one! The staff are very welcoming and friendly Overall a very good experience and looking forward to visiting again

    Amazing homecooked food with a carribbean twist, to eat-in in a tiny colorful space. Like at grandma's, but in tropics :) OR to order for delivery. The Main dish was a platter of 7 mixed foods (large Β£15 eat-in). The mushroom burger (Β£4) and sweet potato patty (Β£4) are an absolute must-try!! There's also a nice selection of cold drinks, we had Seamoss (Β£5 each), highly recommended Spirulina one. The staff was very lovely, welcoming and attending. Food was served quite quickly too. Definitely will be returning for more! 5*

    absolutely delicious vegan, homemade, plant based, food, with an ever changing menu, full of spicys and surprises, inspired to show the community that it's possible to have a healthy and cruelty free diet. you can get the small rainbow platter for Β£8 or the large one for Β£12. lots of fresh juices and green coconut (that you can drink the water and then eat the sweet coconut jelly inside that's even better than the water!!) the food is afro-caribbean like, and plant based and they hold a space with books to borrow, and have entertainment with some jam sessions and art exposed over the place highly recommend this hidden vegan jewel in south east london

    I recently visited lovegift for the first time on Sunday and have been back already today! The food is amazing, full of flavour and goodness, I got the mixed box and everything tasted great. The lady and guy who served me are super friendly and so hospitable, the restaurant had such a good vibe, look forward to visiting when it's fully open!

  • 5/5 Jimmy T. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible food and lovely atmosphere. Take my advice and go large on the rainbow bowl! Very satisfied. The ginger beer was incredible

  • 5/5 Noel S. 2 years ago on Google
    Iv been to a lot of vegan places around London and this is by far one of the best, real love and good flavors gone into the food, highly recommend a visit...

  • 5/5 Michael R. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a platter which is a bit of everything and everything was nice and very filling will definitely be going back

  • 3/5 Noa D. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is tasty and fresh, but last time I went ordered the large rainbow platter and it’s not what it used to be: half quinoa, half dhal with some noodles and 1/4 baked potato?? Can’t see much rainbow in here! Very pale (Also comes with half a wrap and tiny lettuce salad) I miss the days where you had proper options: kale, stews, curries, dumplings! Old menu back please!

    Good food, good people

  • 5/5 Justin W. 2 years ago on Google
    These people preach good food only. No politics just fill you up with a good meal and good vibes. Cooked with love.

  • 5/5 Sarah T. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing healthy tasty food. The ginger beer is also great. Bought some Joss sticks too. 10 out of 10

  • 5/5 Julie A. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited just over a week ago and had a fantastic meal. Loved the small or large plate set menu (You still get to slightly tailor your meal; quinoa/rice or and chickpea/lentil choice on the day we visited.) Plantain was lovely and my partner was converted to kale...it was so well done! Lovely service and great atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Antonio M. 2 years ago on Google
    Some of the tastiest vegan food I've ever had. Similar concept to Eat of Eden up the road with the platters, but this was tastier for me. Will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area.

  • 2/5 Dag J. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and very good vegan food! Very helpful staff! A simple place but because of the nice food it's really a place for vegans!

    This place is a gem! The staff is absolutely wonderful and welcoming and the food is delicious. There is loads to choose from and lovely desserts too! Very warm and kind atmosphere! Looking forward to more visits, thank you so much :)

  • 5/5 Rekha K. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly laid back cafe, but the food!!! We had the rainbow platter and everything on it was totally delish!!! The food had an integrity that is often missing from vegan meals which can sometimes taste like poor substitutes. At Lovegift vegan, the food tasted like it was always meant to be vegan and had a complexity and depth that was really unexpected. Excellent, healthy and delicious grub.

  • 5/5 L M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous food! My husband is vegan, I'm not but we both love the food here. The service is great and everyone is very friendly. I live quite far from here but will make the journey. I highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Mike H. 2 years ago on Google
    If like me you are new to Vegan food you are in for a very pleasant surprise. I am not vegan not even vegetarian and couldn’t understand how anyone could cook and produce meals without using basic animal proteins. But this wonderful Restaurant has completely changed my mind. Apart from the tastiest food there is a wonderful atmosphere as you enter. The staff were informative and most obliging. Asking questions about the huge menu they suggested we have a plate that included samples of all the menu. We agreed and enjoyed every item which will make choosing from the Menu in future easy. They also do take away menus. I fully recommend them, why don’t you try them.

  • 5/5 Marina F. 2 years ago on Google
    Discovered this little gem today, so so glad we went. Not only do they have delicious and nutritious vegan food drinks and deserts, the staff are some of the lovliest people You could meet. My 6 yo daughter was made to feel so welcome and really enjoyed her visit. Ended up having an impromptu jam with some musicians who are apparently there every Sunday. Amazing vibes and community spirit. Will defo return

  • 5/5 nadia b. 3 years ago on Google
    You can really taste the love infused in the food. All the dishes prepared, cooked, and served with a great deal of care. The ambience and happy welcoming vibes were potent. This is more than just a restaurant it's like a healing space/sanctuary. I feel like I'm giving myself a gift when I go there.

  • 5/5 Marta G. 3 years ago on Google
    What a beautiful gem! There's plenty of food not only for your stomach but also for your heart. The food is fantastic and the staff make you feel welcome and at home.

  • 5/5 Olga 3 years ago on Google
    Came with friends less than an hour before Lovegift Vegan closed. Because of that there wasn't much left but They made us amazing plates with what they had. Delicious food, homey vibes and people that give this place a soul. We finish the meal with my friend singing to the drums played by one of people working there. What a magical end of the day... Definitely coming back!

  • 5/5 Rob A. 3 years ago on Google

    Went for a Bornday celebration....and was not disappointed. As you enter you feel the oh so relaxing ambience. The tables are close so you best go with someone you want to converse withπŸ˜„....it all adds to the atmosphere. I had the mixed food platter... Simply Delicious! my only tiny gripe.....please please can there be a bit more PLANTAINSπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ My drink of choice was coconut water from an actual coconut....none of the fake stuff you buy from the supermarkets - Kudos!!! Staff are very attentive and Earth Mother Maya Matanah welcomes you with open arms....you don't want to leave.... Highly Recommended!

  • 5/5 Morenike O. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been eating here before the restaurant moved to this location and I would follow Love gift to Mars if they went there. Eating here is an experience, the food is made with love definitely great energy and a bonus is the events they do for the community / wellness

  • 3/5 Jennifer S. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent enough vegan food, great value for the portions, especially the savory biscuits. I could have a few more of those. Also very good mix of types of vegan food. But not dog friendly which is ridiculous. So won’t be returning and would advise my fellow veggies to also turn away.

    One of the best vegan restaurants in london. I've been following the owner for years. I highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Karen R. 4 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and a lovely vibe.Owner was there and two members of staff.Vibes was cool because when I entered shop a male member of staff was playing guitar along to music playing in background whilst the other male staff greeted me and my friend with a smile as a matter of fact they all did as we entered the restaurant.We took a seat food ordered.when we was served our food the other staff joined the staff playing his guitar and he played little drum beating to the rhyme of background music and guiter and even sang a little song quietly about the rain which was falling outside.It made me feel like I was somewhere else other than lewisham borough like shoreditch or cosmopolitan Brixton where they have a fusion of different restaurants around the world and hearing smooth ,Chilled vibe music like in New York or Atlanta...it was such a lovely atmosphere and a pleasure to hear them jamming.Tuesday they do this usually in the week. My friend was very impressed with the whole experience. Its a simple place ,friendly and warm staff greeting with a big smile.Its been my 3rd time and each visit my experience has been really lovely and I think it is a cool place.felt so relaxed coming out of there .This little Diamond is tucked away albeit on Lee high road top end near sainsbury's its away from hustle and bustle. This is my place to go for sure and look forward to hearing guitar quietly strumming away and a little hand held drum..The staff are mixed from different cultures and they have a beautiful energy,rapor with the owner who is a very friendly gentle natured ,warm lady, she really is! LOVE this place...πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½β€

    Love gift exceeds my expectations every time! Not only my taste buds were satisfied but so was my soul , as soon as you enter the doors of love gift you are hit with a wave of positive energy and vibes. being welcomed with live music smiles and the smell of food made with love is the best feeling ever. It’s such a safe environment to be yourself and surround yourself with good people , I just wish the macaroni cheese was an everyday thing 😩 I’ve gotta get that recipe πŸ˜‚ . Thank-you for calming my soul’s once again love gift.
