    I've eaten at well over a hundred vegan restaurants in more than twenty countries, and this is one of my top five spots in the world. When I first came to Prague five years ago Sandokan instantly became my favorite restaurant in the city. And every year since, the owner makes everything just a little bit better. The food is healthy and delicious, and if you believe it makes a difference when your lunch is cooked by a happy person with great energy, then this is the place you need to eat. One of the things I like best about Sandokan Vegan Bistro is that it only cooks six hot items a day. This means that everything is super fresh when the restaurant opens around 11:15 AM, and nothing is hastily being thrown together by an overworked and stressed out chef. If I had my way, 80 percent of restaurants would be set up like this. It just makes so much sense. There are usually a few Indian-style items served, and often a couple veganized Czech dishes too (like sour bread and goulash). A gorgeous and super-fresh salad is always available. This cooking format also means the entrees are tried-and-true, since they've all been perfected from years of being prepared multiple times each month. All in all, Sandokan Vegan Bistro is flawless, and a must-visit if you like vegan food and are visiting the Czech Republic. My summers in Prague have consistently been among the best and most productive times of my life, in large part because I was being fueled every day by such extraordinarily good meals.

    The food was delicious. Really good vegetarian food in Prague! The owner is friendly and has a nice story behind the name of the restaurant! Must eat here when in Prague!

    A perfect choice for a balanced and tasty vegan lunch. I like that their menu changes regularly, so I can always try something new. They have some dishes that are pretty innovative (to me). Portions are really generous, makes me really full, and taste wise it is well done so it makes me satisfied too!

    One of the best restaurants. The meal was amazing with authentic taste. I would love to visit everyday here. Feels like home food. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Really delicious vegan food. Huge variety of vegan food, soups, rice, stews, desserts, drinks in a form of buffet. It’s affordable, too. Very flavourful meals. Best plant based restaurant with a cute seating, clean food and fantastic meals. a must try while in Prague with kind owner and his stuff.

    Not tasty. I am so disappointed that I paid 350 for meals which were one of the worst food in my life. For this amount you could get a tasty meal. Is too expensive and not delicious. My stomach and my wallet feel so sad

    Tbh, the price which you pay for food too expensive and food was not good. Too much spicy for noodles, I could not eat it. Falafel bowl is dry. Really did not like it

    Food is good but they went up with prices. Expect to pay 175-250czk. It should be marked "$$" not "$". Drink options are free water and hipster pricey lemonades. Somehow I feel there's nothing about a plate of just basmati rice and chickpeas that costs 175czk.

    Their food blew my mind. I ordered the bigger of the two trays and every single dish I sampled was as good as it can possibly get. I’m only in Prague for a few days but if I lived here I would eat in Sandokan every day.

  • 5/5 Barbora M. 4 years ago on Google
    The best place all around Vinohrady in terms of everyday work lunch. The food is always great. The genius loci feels even better. The owner (Sandokan aka Strejda Uncle) is a guy with a sense of humour that I just love. He loves flowers and good music. This place is one of the local gems that make the capitol of this twisted country more habitable <3

    (Translated by Google) truly vegan food, always fresh, service fun, wide daily menu and varied menu throughout the year, eco-friendly - take your boxes with you or offer you a recyclable or soluble one :-) always in a funny way (Original) opravdu veganské jídlo, vždy čerstvé, obsluha zábavná, široká denní nabídka i rozmanitá nabídka v rámci roku, eko přístup - doneste si krabičky s sebou nebo vám nabídnou recyklovatelnou čili rozpustnou :-) výhodou je i aktivita na sociálních sítích - denně přehled o nabídce, vždy vtipnou formou

    Buffet was delicious and cheap!! Sandokan is a fairly cozy spot with a quaint indoor atmosphere filled with plants and plans. But the real story is the food. The buffet is hot and fresh, with options to satisfy all. The garlic sauce is savory, augmenting the delicious tastes of the freshly prepared vegetables and legumes.

    This cute little buffer is a great place for a weekday lunch. The food is tasty (I think it changes from day to day - when we were there we could choose from different curries and falafel bowls), prices are reasonable, service is quick and you don't even have to make too many decisions since an option 'a little bit of everything' is available. The owner is very friendly and happy to chat & recommend other nice spots in Prague.

  • 1/5 Olivia O. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    I am really sorry to ofer the lowest rate but I came here for the good rate it's on here. I've tried many other vegan places in Prague and this was so far the worst. I came around 15:00 but there was only 5 types you could choose from vegan buffet. One of them was extremely salty and I could not eat. All I could eat was the rice and potatoes with some vegan dressing, but still, nothing extraordinary. I did pay 200kc for the plate that was half of a normal plate one person would eat. In my opinion I don't recommend this place and I don't really get the hype of the place. Besides that, not really clean inside and the place itself needs maintenance.

    Helpful service and delicious healthy vegan buffet for little cost. Closed on weekends but my new weekday Go To for lunch!! No added sugars in any of the food! Yum!!

  • 5/5 Dominika N. 5 years ago on Google
    What a wonderful little spot. There is a buffet woth salads hit sides and I think 6 mains, you can test everything with alityle spoon before you fill your plate. All vegan. The plate is 130czk and you can losd it up as much as you like. Amazing mushroom goulash and spicy rice noodles. They do not accept card payments.

    (Translated by Google) Very tasty vegan food with a very nice owner who is always trying to accommodate! 10/10! It's a pity that it is not possible to give more stars and also that the food is soon sold out (which proves the uniqueness of this bistro) ♥ 🙂 We are really looking forward to the summer and sitting outside. (Original) Velmi chutné vegan jídlo s moc milým majitelem, který se vždy snaží vyjít vstříc! 10/10! Škoda že nejde dát víc hvězdiček a také, že jídlo je brzo vyprodáno (což dokazuje výjimečnost tohoto bistra) ♥🙂 Moc se těšíme na léto a posezení venku.

  • 4/5 Alice A. 2 years ago on Google
    Cute little vegan bistro. The options for food are much better than elsewhere in Prague, staff is lovely and menu is fresh. The platter tastes slightly bland in my opinion, however the Vietnamese baguette was a true winner and I'd come back for it any time 😊

  • 5/5 Hanna-Kaisa S. 2 years ago on Google
    A small, sympathetic place with only few seatings indoors. The food is lovely, very spicy and the portions are big. This place is worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Caroline M. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious. Prices were very good. The staff were friendly and genuinely cared that we enjoyed our meal. Speaking English was an added bonus for us. We enjoyed eating there so much we returned the next day. It is a bistro and the music was just at the right volume to listen to and still able to talk amongst ourselves (three adults).

  • 5/5 hman h. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to have veggie diner. Food tasted very good but it was a bit pricy (you pay based on the weight). Menu is said to change on daily base. Place was still being renovated so it looked a bit pale when I visited it.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent. I tried it. Great. The price is higher than I expected. According to the review, I expected a different concept. I don't know if I chose the wrong day, hour, or the change just caused the covid. (Original) Vynikajici.Sla jsem vyzkouset.Porce velka.Cena vyssi nez jsem ocekavala.Podle recenzi jsem ocekavala jiny koncept.Nevim,zda jsem zvolila spatny den,hodinu,nebo zmenu proste jen zapricinil covid.

    (Translated by Google) I can't give the full number of stars, but I came here with the idea that I will taste what white-eating eaters eat and I can say that it was quite possible, the gentleman saw that I was just going to try it, he said something about it, he was nice. I could even pay only after I dreamed it .. the price went ... I'm glad that I chose this place for the exam, where I liked it. (Original) Plný počet hvězdiček dát nemohu, ale zašel jsem sem s tím že ochutnám co jedí bíložravci a mohu říct že to celkem šlo, pán viděl že to jdu jen zkusit, neco o tom řekl, byl milí. mohl jsem dokonce platit až potom co to sním.. cena šla... Jsem rád že jsem si na zkoušku vybral zrovna toto místo, kde se mi líbilo.

    Food review - outstanding cheap vegetarian eats - Michelin this ain’t.... Just ate at Sandokan Vegan Bistro and really enjoyed the meal and the whole experience. Even if you are not a veggie, you should try this place. It’s waaay on the opposite side of fancy, (like cafeteria style and standing tables) but the food is good, cheap and has lots of different choices, all vegetarian. 130 kcs for a full plate. Where else can you have a full meal of fresh healthy food for 130 kcs in Prague? ...Herbal water all you can drink, is free! (Did I say it cheap?) Down side? Tiny place with standing room only tables and no coffee or deserts. But there’s plenty to be had nearby. Added bonus - Marek the owner and front man is a wonderfully pleasant individual.
