    A newcomer to the Camden scene and housed in the trendy new co-working space and hotel Selina. On a Tuesday night the atmosphere was buzzy and casual. The staff are friendly and service is quick and efficient. An electric mix of carb heaven vegan fusion tapas style dishes are perfecting for sharing. Be sure to leave room for desert as the peanut butter blondie with ice cream is absolutely delicious and the best vegan desert i’ve ever eaten! Powerplant is also open of breakfast and has some tasty things on the menu such as waffles and maple syrup! During the week and at the weekends you can attend one of their concept nights such as movie and jazz nights.

    Friendly staff service and food was very quick! We ordered the steak and burger, both tasted amazing. Both our first time trying Redefine Meat, I was impressed with the flavours and texture of how it breaks apart like slow cooked brisket.

    This place is amazing!! Great atmosphere with live music during the week. Had 3 starters and all were very delicious. I highly recommend the smoky Aubergine and get a fresh pita with it 😍. Made my day.

    Decent place with a pretty relaxing atmosphere & food arrived quickly. Was served by a really nice guy can’t remember his name but he was pretty tall and had a french accent, think he was from Belgium, was such a nice guy

    very small portions, 13Β£ for 10 raviolis has to be a joke, 15Β£ for 3 slices of aubergine IS a joke, waited 20min for drinks and another 20min for food, not good value for the price. we paid 63Β£ for this amount of food with a single cocktail. servers looked like they were doing their best but obviously understaffed. not a vibe.

    Nice atmosphere but wow service was so bad. Insanely slow, waiting staff didn't seem bothered. Felt sorry for the guys at the bar as they were just making drinks full pelt, whilst also trying to deal with people ordering and paying when the 2 servers were just kinda chilling out and chatting with random people. Went on a Tuesday and it felt like it couldn't decide if it was a bar or restaurant so rating it more for the food / restaurant side of things. Food was fine. Burger a bit on the burnt side but passable. Too pricey to justify it though. Clearly might be a great place some of the time, would like to check out the open mic and the downstairs space, but if you just want food probably swerve this, especially if you don't have an hour to hang round waiting for it.

    Second time here for dinner. The atmosphere is great, I love the venue! There was a live DJ when we arrived. The staff are super friendly but when I got there, it was not clear where to go to get seated. Everyone at the bar was busy and not paying attention. Other people arrived and were just standing around too! I called a waiter who was running around with drinks after a few minutes of this. They were super friendly after that, it would be great if someone could keep an eye on that to make sure customers don't feel lost or get the sense that staff are rude which is not then case. We took a while to order, and sadly 2 of the 3 items they had ran out of. Telling us about the items unavailable would have been a great place to start! The food that arrived was really good! We had the Jerusalem mixed grill, best dish, the "lamb" was great, the vegetables and pitta were delicious, well seasoned 5/5. The mushroom pate was very tasty, good texture and flavours. The apricot jam was pleasant and mild, good combination as well with the pickled mushrooms on top. Could have come with more bread, we literally had to spoon the pate into our mouths (which I'm not too bothered about). The last dish, the smoked aubergine was average. Very smokey, the best were the sauces with it. It would probably taste better on some bread too! Overall, pleasant experience, there are definitely some dishes id like to come back for (hopefully they have them !)

    Excellent food. I've been trying a lot more vegan restaurants recently and this place does it really really well. I went here with my partner and it was very quiet at 6pm on a Friday, which was really nice. The staff were lovely and very attentive. To start we had the seasoned edamame beans, and the gyoza dumplings which were delicious. For the main I had the cauliflower katsu curry (pictured) and my partner has the risotto. The flavours were excellent and portions very generous! For dessert we both had the Malabi (pictured), which was absolutely incredible and really refreshing. Highly recommended for some great vegan food!

    Food is delicious, reasonably priced, and service fast and friendly. We visited on a Friday night around 8pm and had an excellent experience. This will become a regular destination for our dining. It was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night - a bit of a hidden gem, at least outside of nights when there are events at the nearby Roundhouse venue, and I would highly recommend.

    A real gem in Chalk Farm. Plant based menu, with an afternoon-evening cocktail happy hour. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Some easy and laid-back live music really added to the experience, without dominating the space at all. Recommend the pΓͺche highball! Pet friendly too, so will be going back during the day to work. There’s an upstairs and downstairs with plenty of plug sockets, and social working is facilitated and encouraged. Don’t forget the community and events board before you go!

    Vegan burger & chips were really nice, the beer was fine, service good. I could only find one ladies loo and I thought I was stuck in it because the lock was really odd. Also it was only 7.30 or so and the floor of the lavatory was awash with water, mostly because the taps stick out too far over tha basin. It seems a bit quibbly because the food, drink & service were fine.

    Could this be one of the top entirely vegan restaurants in London based solely on taste alone?! In summary: yes! Surreptitiously exposed on a block corner facing a main road to Camden Town, Power Plant is a surprising eatery. It's a classic mix of bar and restaurant, with a little more emphasis on the former than the latter. You'll have the choice of eating al fresco in front of the aforementioned main road, or within the dive bar-like dark ambience of the interior which is punctuated by the occasional plant suited to the establishment's name. As noted with other reviewers it's difficult to know what to do when you arrive: there's no obvious 'please wait here to be seated' signage, and if you're really unlucky the few staff that are available will be busy serving existing customers. But be patient if you can because as already hinted, the food makes up for the shortcoming in experience. Sitting at the table, everything seemed clean. If you're visually sensitive, in the late afternoon and early evening of the summer, sunlight can shine very brightly through the west-facing windows. Without any blinds to block these, choosing where to sit becomes a strategic affair. Nevertheless, when you manage to get the friendly and apologetic waiter's rare attention, you can order. We chose a hummus dish with various sauces and bread to kick off our meal (a fantastic opener with a wide variety of taste experiences), followed by the Jerusalem mixed grill and skinny fries (the mince will blow you away if you're a (former) meat eater). All very well cooked and tantalising on the tastebuds! The savoury dishes were so good in fact, we wanted to see if dessert held up to the same standard - currently this is very limited to a single option: a filo pie with fruit, but it's a very worthy and unique dish that meets the exceptional standard found earlier - not overly sweet but very satisfying with a range of textures. What soon becomes clear is that Power Plant has a really talented chef - he even came out of the kitchen to gauge our opinion of the food - always a good sign of a chef that cares. We returned our opinions with big smiles. Overall, a fantastic food experience despite the minor hiccups with the earlier part of the customer journey. I'll be sure to return to try their brunch. Nevertheless, I can already see this restaurant launching into the top three vegan restaurant experiences in London thanks to its stellar fare. A credit to the culinary potential of vegan food everywhere, Power Plant comes highly recommended! ⭐

    The food was exceptionally tasty ! Vegan but as tasty as any meat dish could get. We had the bao buns, the arayes and grilled pita bread. However, the portions are small, without the pita breads we wouldn't be satiated. What I didn't like about the atmosphere is that the place was full of people with laptops. I want to escape work during lunch, not be drowned in it !

    Great Vegan restaurant, we all had the Kimchi Toastie with the Chili Jam which was exquisite - sell that jam please! Cute atmosphere and fast service. Great for a quieter lunch just outside the crazy markets.

    Lovely place and very delicious vegan food. Loved the Bananabread and the Couscoussalad.

    Not a vegan person but their plant based food was amazing. It felt fresh and handmade. The selection of drinks was really good with nice range of cocktails and craft beers.

    Great food and very nice atmosphere . This is a restaurant that I wanted to try for a little while and I m not disappointed.

  • 5/5 K C. 1 year ago on Google
    OMG I'm still salivating after our dinner yesterday evening. The food here is amazing! So delicious and really special. There were four in our party and we all rated this place 12 out of 10 for the food. Would definitely recommend it.

  • 2/5 Nigel S. 4 months ago on Google
    Tiny portions and terrible service. They lost our booking. We ordered 3 mains, 2 came and those people had finished before the 3rd arrived. We had to ask where it was. They'd clearly forgotten because it turned up more than 10 minutes after we'd reminded them. Waiter didn't bring cutlery for the 3rd person so having been made to wait for their food they then had to get.his attention again to get some cutelry. And the portions are tiny (we all chose the ravioli). We left hungry and annoyed. It's a shame because the quality of the food is great and the atmosphere is nice. This was 6pm on a Wednesday so not exactly a busy time. It was maybe a little over half full.

    It is one of my best vegan restaurant in Camden. We ate BBQ king oyster skewers, sweetcorn ribs, three cheese arancini and Malabi. All the food was tasty and pleasurable. Definitely visit again.
