A paradise for Vegetarians and Vegans. My wife does not eat in restaurants where non veg is served alongside veg. So this place was a blessing for people like us. Now talking about taste of the food- It was one of the best food i have had in long time. Everything was superb...we were in Agonda for 4 days and we had our Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner only in Zest. Ambience of the place was also warm and inviting. All the staff were amazing and very warm. Special mention to RD for honouring of our request to cook yeast free pizza base. Really amazing...if you tell them you have some allergy...they will modify the same dish and present it to you. I am surely coming back to have some lip smacking pure veg food in goa. Enjoy the photos which I have clicked.

A huge highlight from my month in Agonda. Amazing food, staff, & vibe - I came here almost every day. Menu faves were the dark chocolate gelato (pic!), snickers nice cream (other pic!), & the summer rolls (3rd pic! great value - big enough for a meal). Special s/o to the hardworking guys who make this place so special. Joking around with them - and the warm welcome I felt every time I stepped inside - made Agonda feel like home. Don’t miss Zest while you’re here!

If you're craving some western-style vegan food, this is the place. It's not the cheapest, but great value for money when it comes to portion size and most of all, quality. You will not be disappointed. Even if you're just after an oat mylk latte (because soy milk is the work of the devil after all...!), you'll find a perfect one here. We rode scooters for an hour to get here and I'd do it all again, this place is a much-needed gem. Staff are great, the surroundings and the toilet too. Do yourself a flavour favour... EDIT: We've just returned for a second visit here, and it's been even better than the first! So we've booked to stay at a little place within two minutes walk (Joy Boutique Guest House, the Galaxy Room and it's really nice too so I'd recommend staying there!) for at least a month. Had the vegan thali this time and it was fantastic. There's lots of it, so value for money is right up there. Do it! 🤘

Beautiful restaurant in Agonda serving vegan and vegetarian food. Great variety. The food was fresh and tasted great! We ordered Vietnamese Summer Rolls, Jackfruit Katti Roll, Oat mylk Cappucino, Rainbow juice (apple, beetroot, carrot, pineapple, lime, ginger, mint), Soba Noodle bowl (with roasted eggplant, mango, tofu and fresh herbs), vegan Chocolate Walnut Brownie with one scoop of vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream and one scoop of vegan roasted Banana ice cream. The coffee was really well brewed. The juice was well balanced and super refreshing. The summer rolls were crunchy and tangy and came with 2 lovely dips. The Jackfruit Katti Roll had curried jackfruit that was absolutely fantastic - not too spicy but well spiced. The Soba noodle bowl was really good too but I felt it could have had a bit more eggplant in it and could have been a little less tangy. Was a little too sour for my palate. The brownie was dense with a super intense chocolate flavour that paired very nicely with the peanut butter icecream. The banana ice cream was fantastic on its own. The place is lovely and has lots of greenery to give it a very nice relaxed atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The chairs in the regular seating area could be a little more comfortable but it's not a big issue. If you feel like you want to lounge a bit more they have more comfortable low cushioned seating areas further inside. There were also a couple of friendly dogs which always makes any place better! :)

Awesome little pretentious, hippy, veggie/vegan place. Food was delicious and reasonably priced considering the quality of menu. Tonnes of breakfast options and smoothies were so great too. The setting is great too with the seats mixed into the garden. Take a book because you could settle down there for ages!

If there was a 10 out of 5, I would have gladly rated this place that! The food is just so amazing that you will keep going back. The place has the best vibe in Agonda with their seating, interior and the chill music. The staff is very friendly and food generally gets served fast. They are Pet-Friendly! We have come here some 10 times in the last two years and cannot have enough of it. If you are ready to spend a little extra on some REAL good food-this is your place in south Goa! Awesome job done, team zest!

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Great option for all vegan lovers in and around Agonda Goa. Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation and wonderful dessert. The food was always fantastic, no matter what I ordered I was always delighted with my meal. Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. I was fortunate as this was at a walking distance from my resort.

Beautiful restaurant, very friendly staff, good music. We had their mango cheesecake and chocolate cloud cake, which were really tasty. Their breakfast options are unique and they have real coffee. The lemon and ricotta pancake is tangy and fresh. The garlic and herb mushrooms with poached eggs are very filling and yummy. Nice place to relax for a few hours, have some drinks and nibble on their yummy food. It's a bit pricey but really worth it because of their unique take on vegan and vegetarian food.

The best place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Relaxed and cosy atmosphere, very delicious and tasty food and beverages. We ate here every day while we were in Goa!

Good vegan restaurant. A peaceful and pleasant atmosphere and kind service a wide range of dishes. Breakfast was delicious the coffee and cake at the end a little less.

My favorite place in agonda, we've been there so many times in our one week here. We tried 10 dishes and can say they're all amazing! The homemade vegan cheese is one of the best I've had anywhere, and the fresh spring rolls are better than many I had in Vietnam. They also serve really good IPA that is significantly cheaper than the other restaurants in town! Everything here is quality and the staff are great. Please open a location in Canada haha

Horrible deserts! The mains are completely tasteless! The only thing you can actually enjoy is the coconut water that too because it’s chilled. Please spare yourself the horror and don’t bother going to place to burn money. Ps- The chocolate cake tastes like shoving medicine down your throat.

Well, where do I start! The biggest compliment I can give to this place it that it’s one of the reasons I like to stay in Agonda so I can enjoy my meals here. This place has an amazing vibe and you can spend hours here, sitting with friends or reading a book or just scrolling through your phone. The staff is very friendly and quick and the food of course is AMAZING! It is Vegan and Vegetarian only place and has all sorts of options starting with Salads, Smoothies, Thin crust Pizza and my absolute favourite Smoothie Bowl...(I can feel my mouth watering)

Lovely place. Needs a big sign in the front section saying "more seating at the back" as almost sat in the front bit which isn't as nice.

Firstly - kudos to the amazing ambience, searing and space here!! Zest has an amazing menu full of textures and flavour. Many of their drinks come with hemp seeds, coconut chips, and dried rose petals as toppings. The soba noodles are a refreshing surprise. The thin crust pizza with feta, caramelized onions, and spinach is a must-try here. The Mediterranean salad bowl is another one not to be missed. We wanted to try this place only for dinner, but ended up having dinner & lunch - both here! Portion sizes are good 👍. Also, do try the cloud brownie and vegan chocolate ice cream - both are excellent!

Undoubtedly the best place to try out vegan in Goa. It's a road side hangout place, surrounded by vibey plants. The food is slurplicious here. I absolutely loved their portion, it was sufficiently fullfiling. Overall atmosphere is cozy with mild music to enjoy soothing vegan dishes. 🥰

At The Zest, you're immediately transported into a lush, green sanctuary the moment you step inside. Its jungle-like interior, complete with hanging plants creates a serene and invigorating atmosphere. Don’t miss their toasts. Our choice was the Kimchi Toast, a perfect blend of crispy, homemade bread topped with tangy kimchi and grilled cheese. Beyond the exquisite food, The Zest is a pet-friendly. It is a local paradise where everyone feels at home, making it a unique destination for those seeking a delightful culinary experience in a warm, welcoming environment.

Zest Vegan and Veg Cafe in south Goa is an absolute gem of a restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive energy and love that the staff put into every dish they create. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The menu at Zest Vegan and Veg Cafe is a delightful mix of vegan and vegetarian dishes that are healthy, delicious, and beautifully presented. Whether you are a vegan, vegetarian, or just looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, this is the perfect place for you. Every dish is made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and prepared with care and attention to detail. The standout dishes at Zest Vegan and Veg Cafe are the falafel wrap and zest Veg/vegan thali. Each of these dishes is packed with flavor and nutrition, and will leave you feeling energized and satisfied. The falafel wrap is a perfect balance of crunchy and soft textures, with the falafel itself being perfectly spiced. Zest thali is a work of art, with a variety of colorful veggies and proteins arranged beautifully on the plate. In addition to the amazing food, Zest Vegan and Veg Cafe also offers a variety of fresh juices, smoothies, and coffee. Overall, I would highly recommend Zest Vegan and Veg Cafe to anyone looking for a healthy and delicious meal in Goa. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Don't miss out on this amazing restaurant!

We liked the place a lot. The service was excellent and the staff was really attentive. The juices tasted very chloridic due to the used ice cubes, but as we flagged that, our waiter instantly had us prepared new ones that tasted really good. The drinks as well as the the variety of dishes we ordered were of very good quality, nicely served and tasted delicious. Overall we had a really pleasant time at the Zest.

Had lunch at Zest Agonda last week, spectacular food, service and ambience. Well worth it. Berry blast smoothie is very good.

The Vegan place near Agonda beach. Food is amazing. It's a pet friendly place. Ambience is real nice. we went there for breakfast. It was all worth it.

Good smoothies and authentic vegan food options available. The service is prompt and the staff is courteous. We ordered Quesadilla, strawberry nice-cream and Chocolate ganache cake. Quesadilla - flavoursome and was served with 4 dips out of which I liked the Guacamole and my friend liked Cashew sour cream the most. Strawberry nice-cream: Tasted almost like partly frozen strawberry yogurt. Neither too sweet nor too sour, Just perfect! The Cacao seeds gave it a bitter punch. You might want to exclude the Cacao seeds if you don’t want the bitterness in your dessert. Chocolate Ganache cake: Since it was vegan, they use soy milk in it due to which it tasted a little chalky. I didn’t quite liked it but I think that’s how it tastes if soy milk is used (How about using almond milk?)

Highly recommended. The best place to have good vegetarian food in Agonda Beach, Goa. Visited twice last week. Absolutely love the food here. Ordered: Berry boost smoothie, Chatpata panner roll, Veg Thali, Nourish Salad, Pizza. Loved having them all. The quantity, quality and taste is amazing. Would definitely visit this place again on my next visit to Goa.

Good food

Absolutely awesome food. They are specialized in Italian cuisine. We enjoyed the thin crust pizzas just like how you get in Italy. Well maintained and nice seating arrangements to relax. Note that it’s not a sea side restaurant but a wonderful place to fulfill your cravings.

Amazing good, great ambience and polite service. Must try if you like fancy but healthy food 👍🏻

Good food enjoyed

Super cool place, I was in Agonda for 7 days and came here 3 days, they have a to die for coconut chia pudding. I also had the miso ramen and okra fries, a pizza with caramelised onion and goat cheese. All were really good. The portion sizes are huge, so make sure you go on an empty stomach.

The place is beyond amazing and a paradise for vegans. Went in with a friend to try on their breakfast and boy they stuffed us. Their salads and food is just scrumptious. DO TRY THEM WHEN AROUND.

Easy on the belly after hard night 🥺🍻

(Translated by Google) The most delicious veggie food I've ever had! Staf is just a miracle! (Original) Самая вкусная вегетерианская еда в моей жизни! Стаф просто чудо!

Amazing place for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They got it all right: service, menu, quality, atmosphere and pricing. Loved granola smoothy, coffee, burritos, falafel and humus dishes. All the menu seems to be great! It's one of the places that you dream of returning to once you come back home. For me the best place in Agonda.

Highly recommended place to visit, we've been several times! Good ambience and tasty food. Friendly service.

I would rate this as one of the best restaurants I have ever visited. Food was amazingly fresh, healthy and tasty. Would love to come here again.

This cozy and earthy cafe has comfortable seating with natural ambience. Loads of plants, wood and bamboo has been used which give it a earthy feel. The Food is out of this world. We visited this place twice, for breakfast and lunch and we were delighted. Avocado on toast, Lebanese Plate, Pizza and Thai curry are highly suggested. The taste, presentation and quality of ingredients all top notch. You may laze around in its comfortable seating and spend an afternoon here as they have cool atmosphere and great wifi. Top cafe in South Goa.

One of the best vegan cafes I have ever been to. Such a cool vibe and greenery all around. I had a beetroot Quinoa burger, loved it. The patty was fresh and filling. Also they had nice variety of Kombuchas and smoothie bowls.

Amazing vegetarian and vegan restaurant. Staff is very friendly, and they always suggest you the best dishes you could try. If you are working remotely you could spend hours here and keep trying out all the smoothies. Must try chia pudding , summer roll, pizza, pasta and don't forget the smoothies.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting ZEST and was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The ambience of the cafe is beautiful with tasteful decor, good music playing and an abundance of plants creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. I started off with a kombucha (spicy ginger) and I must say it was one of the best I've had in a long time - it is hard to find good kombuchas in Goa. But I didn’t like their other flavors that much. I ordered the Zest Thali and I was impressed by how tasteful it was. Good combination of items in the dish and the portion size was generous, leaving me feeling super satisfied. The service was quick and efficient, with the staff being very attentive - unlike some other reviews here. The dessert options were tempting and it was difficult to choose just one. I will definitely be back to try some of the smoothies, as they are often recommended by others. Overall, I highly recommend ZEST for anyone looking for a great dining experience 👌🏾

It was amazing calm and delicious experience. After a long drive and a very humid weather getting to stop here for a fresh, raw and healthy food was just the thing we needed that moment. The smoothie was just on point to cool is down and my girls just got better with this experience. I would definitely suggest ppl to stop by if you are vegetarian and need a healthy meal.

An amazing place with good ambience, tasteful food , melodious music and to top it all courteous staff. The service is quick and up to the mark. All those looking out for a fulfilling meal with vegan options must try out this place. A must visit for all Italian / Mexican / Thai food lover. The best part is the satisfaction after relishing your taste buds.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Agonda, Goa. The variety in the menu is big and all of the things I tried were really good. I'd give this place a 20/10. I kept going back to this restaurant for all of my meals when I stayed there. The staff were friendly and the food was amazing. My favourite thing on the menu was Pesto Pasta and The Big Brunch.

Love everything about this cafe! The decor and ambiance is perfect. Food is delicious. We came for breakfast and got fresh juices, smoothie bowl, egg toasts.

The food was really nice, I had a garlic mushroom pizza which was of a high standard. For dessert I had the mango cheesecake and it was tasty, but frozen in the middle so either not fresh or not stored correctly. The ambience is nice, if not a little dark inside, however the service was very slow and despite having many waiters there and not being very busy, each time I had to try and get their attention to get served. They were friendly however. Prices were ok, a little on the high side for the area.

Simply Beautiful!! We always wanted to visit here but We were staying far away from it and finally we made it to this place on one fine day. Awesome ambiance and lovely Menu, to be honest, We have not seen a great verity like this in vegetarian cuisine anywhere else. Amazing staff and great music. We Highly recommend this place.

We loved this place the minute we walked in. It looks so cool and the service is so prompt. We ordered breakfast it was all delicious. And the menu is awesome, there are so many things more we'd love to try. Also they own a puppy who's really adorable. I asked and pet him too. It is a really nice place.

Amazing food! They have vegan and gluten-free options. Portions are normal size, staff are friendly and helpful. It can get busy, but because the place is full of plants you can't see others really. It's like a hidden mini paradise.

Located in the Southern most part of Goa, this quaint little place is a gem and a ‘not to be missed’ eating joint for vegans. The ambience is nice and earthy. The service quick and the food awesome in taste, presentation and appeal. There’s a bit of an issue for parking four wheelers, however the team there is really helpful for resolutions. Highly recommended for vegans.

Relaxed place, good food, they do serve eggs and thali. The ambiance is very beautiful, cosy and you can sit for hours. Service is great. Do drop in if you have time to kill and want to just sit back and chill.

This restaurant is so good! Scape from beach restaurant and get an amazing culinary experience. Taste de beetroot ravioli and the chia seeds breakfast 😋

It was amazing calm and delicious experience. After a long drive and a very humid weather getting to stop here for a fresh, raw and healthy food was just the thing we needed that moment. The smoothie was just on point to cool is down and my girls just got better with this experience. I would definitely suggest ppl to stop by if you are vegetarian and need a healthy meal

Great food, lot's of vegan choices! However it is on the more expensive side.

Great food,fresh,tasty worth the money

Great food, good service, super chill.

Phenomenal food ambience and service... I have been in goa for last 2 months, i have experienced a lot of places by now. ZEST handsdown was the best dining and chilling experience in goa ever !!! Amazing high quality ingredients, extremely flavourful and good looking food to die for !!! Its just simply WORTH IT !!!

Great food and excellent service

Superb variety of vegan dishes. Every dish we ordered was fabulous. The service was great and the restaurant is very close to Agonda beach.

Wonderful green atmosphere, lovely staff, great coffee and amazing pizza.

Love the food... Wish there were more Vegan options!

Absolutely loved everything about this place! The ambience, the food and the very friendly waiters! It's a must visit not just for vegans, but everyone!

Vegan place with amazing food, it is not so happening in the day time but really good at night, a good crowd % of Agonda hangs out here , the food is really good and slightly on the pricey side but it is worth your bucks, you can try and decide

Nice vibes, good coffee, excellent food! Staff is quick and friendly, the toilet is clean and the wifi is good :)

Class vegan breakfast .mus go ..

My wife love this place & food well made.me too

Excellent food, great ambience and fantastic service. My favourite part about Zest is the consistency. I first visited them 3 years ago and now quite recently and I saw that not only had they retained the authenticity and quality of food but actually enhanced the experience in the last 3 years. Highly recommended

Excellent variety and very very tasty, if you go to Agonda beach, do not pass by this place! Wonderful ambience and great friendly staff! Ten out of ten!!! ?

By far the best place to grab a bite to eat and drink. Came here on several occasions and was not disappointed. Felt like I was back in Australia. The service is pretty quick and there is ample seating. Prices are reasonable. They accept credit card which is a bonus!

Great vegan food. Lovely ambiance. Recommended.

Amazing service and incredible vegan food. We are here for almost every meal 4 days in a row! Will miss the place a lot - thanks Zest :)

Nice and elegant place for a meal. The menu is quite varied, with everything from Indian thali (quite good, very filling) to raw lasagna, beet ravioli, and much more. Good desserts. The prices are fairly high compared to other places nearby.

Excellent pizza. Chunky monkey smoothie very filling. Large portion on scrambled egg for breakfast, enough for 2 to share. Very nice surroundings. Good carrot cake. Not so keen on the vegan ice cream, more like a sorbet.

Best place to dine in south goa. We visited nearby agonda beach. We tried Zest Thali which was tasty and delicious. Ambience is awesome and you may find more foreigners over there.

Best place for vegan/vegetarians in South Goa , amazing food and good quantity for the cost. Worth visiting. The guy suggested us not to take 3 dishes as it would be good enough for 2+1 kid and it was accurate... These kinda suggestions from restaurants are rare to find and it shows their confidence in the quantity they serve. We visited the place twice in consecutive two days when we were in Goa, would love to try again.

High quality food and service as well. As per other reviews, i can confirm that the smoothie bowls are amazing. I counted 11 different kinds of fresh fruit in my bowl this morning plus many different kinds of tasty nuts and seeds. Highly recommended.

This place is not for everyone, you need to understand the vegan ways to love the dishes

Nice food quality. Recommended.

Amazing ambience...Spectacular Food...friendly staff...if you are looking for authentic Italian pizzas in Goa, you must not miss out on this place. Do try the mushroom/ Fungi pizza...totally worth it! ?

Nice pizza lots of veggies and generous cheese

Veggie/vegan spot, really central location and beautiful green and decorated. Pizza was great, nice and crispy and they had a pretty good homemade vegan cheese. Would recommend using coconut cheese rather than nut for pizzas as it tends to melt better. Raw pad Thai was delish and the sushi bowl had great flavours but think it could have been presented a bit better. Quite expensive but a nice treat. Would definitely recommend.

The food was good. The ambience was great. It was very suprising to have a veg restaurant in South Goa.

Awesome vegan options and nice staff

Best vegetarian food in agonda beach. As a food concern special when you travel in places where maximum amount of non vegetarian food was served so it was difficult for find a good vegetarian meal so thank to zest that they served a amazing meal and we had best meal in goa that day.

Great vegan/veggie menu, a beautiful and tastefully decorated place and amazingly friendly staff. If you are in need of something “more familiar” the pizza is excellent. The smoothies are now part of our daily routine :-)

THE place for Vegans/Vegetarians! Very beautifull and comfortable place with constantly good and fast service and the food is made with love! For over 2 month we came here again and again! Thx to the stuff!

The best vegan restaurant n I've ever eaten in, and it's in India. Highly impressed. Try the raw lasagne - absolutely too die for.

Highly recommend to eat here. Food is great and delicious, staff is very nice and quick.

Good food. Crowded. On expensive side

(Translated by Google) Really excellent food and unique atmosphere (Original) Nourriture vraiment excellente et ambiance unique

Usually crowded. Good food but a little expensive.

One of my favorite places to hang in South Goa , both agonda n palolim

Awesome healthy food. Very chill place with amazing staff !

One of the best vegan places ever

The food is just out of this WORLD MENU assortment is jus tropically delicious ? The service is quick and friendly Free Wifi Must try the dessert and tofu dishes Coconut with Chia Seeds is a delight Close proximity to all yoga ?‍♀️ institution Great place to network and meet travels Thonged by mostly yogic students No sunset view though (negative) But the place has a super super positive vibe

This place is not 100% vegan they have organic eggs ? as well as goat cheese ? . If you ask them it's veg they will say.. Ya sure pure veg ?

Unique, healthy and exotic food. Vale for money. Must visit

Only dropped in for a couple of smoothies. Both were really tasty and well thought out. Berry Boost and Chunky Monkey I can recommend! Guys working here are friendly too. Also ordered a coffee as it smelt good. You'll be pleased to know it also tasted great.
