Love the place as well as place. The food was quite good and healthy as well. The staff was trying to attend everyone with big smile on face. Do not visit this place if you are in hurry. The concept of paying as per your convenience is fabulous. The people should pay here instead of walking off after eating.

I love pancake 🥞 and vegan hamburger 🍔 with sweet chili sauce taste really yummy 😋 definitely will go back again soon.And hop I could find some day to be volunteer there

One of the most awesome places I visited. Super delicious vegan food cooked with great love & positive vibes. Would definitely visit again. Love it. Highly recommended!!!!

5 stars for food, service and concept.. Meal payment is a contribution to overall well-being of the restaurant and people in need.. it’s truly a business that values social responsibility.. the menu is vegan, and simple :) you will simply enjoy the experience !

Tasty food, reasonable portions. Pay what you can for your meal. Always had veg / vegan options. Meals change but one option almost always centres around South Asian ("Indian") cuisine like a curry or dhal.

The okminyaki (Japanese pancakes) at Lentil As Anything triggered what has now become a deep and passionate obsession of mine! When I lived in St Kilda I used to visit frequently and the food was spot on. It can get very busy - expect a wait, to be seated, and to be served - don't visit if you're in a rush. But totally worth it. And pay it forward! :)

Never had a better vegan burger!! The lentil patty was amazing. Such a nice restaurant with a fantastic concept

My favourite food place in St Kilda. Run by volunteers, Lentil As Anything is a non for profit vegetarian restaurant where you choose the amount you want to pay. Inside, around 40 people can sit with a couple more tables outside. Can highly recommend the lentil burger, the Japanese pancake dish and the curry dish. Do note thay it's get very busy and you might have to wait a bit before a table comes free.

Awesome staff, food and concept. We love this place. Being to all of them ease support places like this and make a generous donation

Tofu burger is my favorite!! You can choose the price that you get and then put your money into the wooden box. Like donation system. Staff was so kind. They are volunteers.

First time here was January 2016, first time to try vegan food and I was so surprised how the food taste good, of course different but still good. I’m coming back all the time I can. My favourite are the lentils burger and the okonomiyaki, I have tried also carrot soup and taste good too. Also the people working there they are nice kind and friendly. Keep going guys

Absolute must. Apart from the great vegan food, which was really delicious, the idea is the key. Pay as much as you can afford, so that food Is offered at low prices to those who are in need. We paid "full" price as thanks to the lovely volonteers who work there and keep this wonderful place going. So wish the idea would catch on elsewhere!

Great. For the people.

Loved the concept and food delicacies. Appreciate the efforts of food makers who dwell into making so much food and serve everyone with same compassion yet do not expect any monetary benefits in return but what we can contribute in our wish! Kudos to the everyone from the staff to the owner. Hope we all can contribute more and get to eat amazing delicious food.

What a wonderful restaurant! I had the risotto and my fiancèe had the curry plate. We both loved our meal and the service was outstanding. There is street parking as well as a small lot behind the restaurant.

If you are in Melbourne you MUST try "Lentils"😍😍 it's such a unique experience with a rotating seasonal menu and you pay why you feel you can contribute. I had the "Oko" and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever tried. Cute setting in a great location, highly recommend!

Good food, friendly service, and (obviously) affordable. First of all: the concept of pay-what-you-want is of course very creative and hipster-like. We got our food after a short waiting period and it was good but not over the top. All of the volunteer waiters were very friendly and kind. The restaurant itself has a retro style and is located on a frequently visited but not crowded street. Despite all the positive aspects I have to das that it was not as tasty as in similar restaurants, which, of course, is reasoned through the payment concept. I recommend coming here to try out the experience but not to have a filling and delicious dinner.

What a lovely concept. Such lovely food, and lovely volunteers. Well done guys!! Pumpkin salad, japenese pancakes and the curry were my favourite!!! But the tofu burger looked incredible!! 😍

Amazing. Beautiful. The most inspiring charitable organisation I know. Please google Lentil as Anything and then come and feel your soul be uplifted and your taste buds enchanted. 3 Melbourne locations to choose from, visit them all.

Such a lovely little place with great food and a great cause

very good vegan restaurant !

I love this place! Its sooo good. It upsets me that I find it so hard to get a table because broke backpackers come here for a free feed. I would hate to see this gem go under because people take advantage of their payment system.

Fantastic people and delicious food! Curry platter and risotto are my favourites.

Great place. Excellent idea. The food was good and I really like their ethos.

the pancakehere is my favourite thing atm.

Great food and from this community focused cafe

Much better now that they've changed the menue to just a few items we had the tofu burger was good nothing special but filled the need the chia pudding was runny like a drink so wouldn't bother again but overall for the fact you paid what you think its worth so that works

great vegan restaurant which also feeds the poor based on a business model of volunteers. i feel pure love for this kind of businesses. pay as you wish concept, not for free! worked there as a volunteer for a few times so I got some insights and it's just a great place ?

One of the best places in Melbourne!

Vegetarian and vegan friendly. A must see of Melbourne and the first lentil as anything. It is smaller than the others and gets busy on the weekends.

Lovely chai and the best lentil patty sandwich, you guys rock

Lentil patty made here goes well in their sandwiches. The chai is almost good but not the best I had though.

Food is very delicious, and you can pay up to your ability to help this store.

One of the Lentil As Anything branches. Its a small place but had covered outdoor seating as well. Three items were on the menu for dinner (soup and bread, wrap, indian thali) Other locations have better food and atmosphere. Still a good concept though. Maybe better for lunch than for dinner if going to this branch.

Loving their concept. I never come to vegan restaurant before, so I dont expect much about their food. Surprisingly, it was delicious.

Every visit to this place is soulfully enriching. Unbelievably delicious vegan food, made with love and togetherness. Makes my vegan journey easier having them nearby. Thank you!

Food taste is very light. Suitable for people who are looking for healthy food.

Can't live up to the original one in abbotsford. Very crammed, usually a line up to get seated, table service. I prefer that in abbotsford you can walk in, help yourself to whatever looks good to you, and there's plenty of seating in and outdoors. Food: portions are OK but what they describe as "curry" is thin as a soup. Some dishes are quite spicy (like the lentil curry).

Fried Tofu is delish and chai is spicy like it should be. Go here and pay the recommended price and equalise some Karma.

Awesome concept. Donate after eating. But please be fair and don't cheat if you can afford it!

It's nice vegetarian restaurant.

AMAZING restaurant, yummy and tasty vegan food

I'm not vegan, but really liked this place, small, warm and friendly environment. There is no certain price for a meal, pay as much as you can.

Great food.

Friendly place, volunteers always welcoming and smilly. The best Lentil As Anything! ?

One of the best places to enjoy vegan food

It’s very cozy here

Delicious !!!

(Translated by Google) Good food is paid for with a donation, they also support poor people. (Original) Gutes Essen, bezahlt wird gegen Spende, sie unterstützen auch ärmere Personen.

Good food with less price.

Great food!

(Translated by Google) Best restaurant on Earth. I have been there 3 times already. It's just incredibly good and the employees are lovely (Original) Meilleur restaurant de la Terre. J'y suis allé 3 fois déjà. C'est juste incroyablement bon et les employés sont adorables

Dirty fly's everywhere. Food by donation

(Translated by Google) I don't want to eat while donating (Original) 기부 하면서 먹는곳 맛은 그냥저냥

Not bad but it’s a smaller Lentils than other ones. Food is fine.

LOVE THE CONCEPT!!

Small place. But the meals are tasty. It's only vegan, but I do enjoy even I like meat.

The food is always delicious, it's a shame they don't have a bigger space.

Donation only no meat dishes..
