    I absolutely adore this place. The menu is fully vegan and Gluten free. The service was incredibly kind and helpful. I tried the curry and it was so delicious, the best I've had in a long time. Everything was fresh and the quality of the food amazing. We didn't want to order any desert at first because the plate was quite big, but then my friends convinced me and I'm so glad they did. Best Donut/vanilla ice sweet combination ever. I attached some pictures and I can only recommend this place.

    Absolutely scrumptious vegan menu. Note that they no longer do a buffet - a la cart menu only. Fresh high quality ingredients, thoughtfully put together in a fusion of Thai, Indian, and other Asian flavours. The Thai raw bowl was absolutely incredible, with fresh mango and seaweed noodles. I’m so glad I found this place - it is definitely going to be a pre-theatre regular for me!

    Great food, amazing atmosphere and nice staff. I founded this place by chance when I was passing by and I loved it! When you see it from outside you really don’t know what to expect.

    An absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We were looked after so well. I would recommend this place to anyone, not just vegans (I'm not vegan). The tea selection was incredible, as were the juices, smoothies and shakes. Great for those who are health conscious. Looking forward to going back :)

    I went for dinner with a friend here. You pick a table and then can help yourself to the buffet before weighing the plate. To give you an idea of price each of our plates cost around £10. They do really lovely vegan milkshakes for £5 and the desserts are worth trying too. The atmosphere is really chilled, you would have no idea that you are just off the hustle and bustle of central London and the staff are super friendly. I will definitely be back 😊

    This was my first stop upon arriving in London for my vacation - I was jet-lagged and starving, and Vantra ended up being an amazing first meal! And then I came back a few days later and had another amazing dinner. Everything is vegan - as well as gluten-free, paleo-friendly, Halal- and Kosher-compliant, sugar-free, garlic-free, oil-free, peanut-free and cashew-free (but note they DO use almonds), non-GMO, and no fried foods. Everything is steamed or raw, and prepared with lots of herbs and spices so that salt is not really used in cooking. They do have salt, pepper, oils, and various other condiments for those who wish to add it to their food. But really, everything is so carefully seasoned that I didn't feel a need to add any additional seasonings to the food. It's served buffet-style and you pay for the food by weight. Both times, I got huge plates of food because I hadn't had much food since lunch, so I was starving - and my huge plates didn't come out to be terribly expensive! No more than 9-10 GBP! Their food offerings change, so you can pretty much get different meals every time you come here. Lots of beans and tofu options, many different veggies, so you are certain to feel full after eating here. They have some healthy desserts, too! I got their hot adzuki beans in what I think was almond milk (?), which reminded me of a red bean dessert soup I've had in Chinese restaurants. Delicious! Definitely coming back next time I am in London!

    Absolutely incredible food, amazing interior design and wonderful atmosphere. The best food and 'Vocktail' I've ever tasted. My non-vegan boyfriend was so impressed by the food too! Everyone should try Vantra 🙌 Such a lovely family business. We will definitely be back soon!

    Everything about this cute little tucked away Vegan restaurant is Gorgeous! From the ambience, to the service, to the tastebud dancing food 😋 a broad selection of food on the menu, that is free from all the nasties of the world. I dare you not to like anything on the menu 😉

    Vantra is so good !! My husband and I stopped in here tonight for dinner and it had the coziest little atmosphere. Service was great and the raw food was amazing! We will definitely be back soon 🥰 although I was disappointed there wasn’t any raw dessert offered tonight

    This place is beautiful- the atmosphere of the space, mixed with the beauty of the food, it’s perfect. Vantra has the most delicious food I have ever eaten. From the Vchicken creamy curry to the Rainbow Salads, there is something for everyone to love. I have especially enjoyed that VChicken which had a perfect consistency mixed with the creamiest curry I have ever had. I had to get more than one plate.. two days in a row. Vantra made my visit to London the most delicious destination I have visited yet and I hope you give them a try.

    Lovely restaurant with awesome taste, here you can find something for everyone. Most importantly for celiacs like myself, it’s 100% gluten-free and vegan. One of the few real restaurants with a lot of menu options for vegans and celiacs. If you’re in London, you should give it a try.

    The atmosphere, food and staff was amazing. We found the restaurant by chance and with one person being gluten free and one vegan it’s difficult to find suitable places. For the first time we were able to share a dish! I highly recommend stopping by even for just a drink. It’s worth it!

  • 5/5 Angela L. 4 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    The food was flavorful and absolutely delicious every time I have visited. They are completely gluten free and refined sugar free which is great. I also liked that you could tailor the sugar level in their hot drinks. Everything was amazing but the chia crackers, hot chocolate, and donut were some of my favorites!

    The most amazing vegan place I have come across. Usually vegan and taste do not go together but this place has done it. My daughter had laksa and I had satay vchicken side and this was the most amazing food ever. They are also a gluten free kitchen, so an inclusive restaurant that caters tasteful food for all. We also ordered one of their raspberry v mocktails and that was equally good. Loved the food, service and their calm atmosphere.

  • 3/5 Nastya K. 5 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    Sadly I didn’t like the place. Had to ask for water 2 times (they weren’t busy), I’m more used to when you get it automatically with the table and don’t ask at all. I’m a vegetarian. Maybe it’s just my taste and preferences but I wasn’t happy with what I ordered there. The flavor was way too strong and overwhelming, so much that I couldn’t even eat the curry. Sweet potato instead of being sweet was sour, felt like fermented and was just awful for me. The “lamb” was fine. Thanks for the lady who (after I paid) asked if everything was fine, I said no and she tried to change my experience for the better. I appreciate it, she was really nice. But I didn’t like the food anyway and coffee was bad too. Also it’s kinda in the basement, with no windows which was weird for me too. And the receipt was written by hand.

    Food is unattractive, bland and ingredients seem that have been mixed randomly, some tags are missing which make difficult to understand what you are eating. Staff have been not unpolite but moody, which doesnt make you feel welcomed Experience definitely not worthed the price asked. Sorry, I won't come back.

    As a longstanding customer of Vantra, I thoroughly recommend the food and service. It is a wonderful welcoming vegan haven. Thier animal focused ethics are strong and the food is good for the soul. As vegans we should be supporting vegan businesses, and this one is amazing. Eat there!!!!!

  • 4/5 Niki K. 2 years ago on Google
    Service was friendly, and fast too. I had the large mushroom dish, which was delicious! Only thing I would change is matching the amount of curry to quinoa(60% of the plate) - but that might be because the curry was so tasty! Would also be great to see an estimated calorie breakdown of the items on the menu - it could encourage customers to order more when they see how low it is. I’ll definitely be back to try some of their unusual coffee and raw cakes when back in stock! Yum, can’t wait!

    Amazing food. Really quiet and service is great. Good wine selection and really great superfood menu. Nice calm atmosphere, knowledgeable staff. Dont be put off by the slightly ominous entrance, really worth a visit.

    I am not a vegan but I do enjoyed the food. I haven't got a clue what I ate to tell the truth, and I love my meat and dairy products, however, that's just as good. Just delicious and the staff were very friendly. The ambient was nice, I felt comfortable and homely. Therefore,5 🌟.

    Was very hesitant in trying this restaurant and nearly left after reading the menu, but was completely taken aback by how delicious the food came out. I don't know how, but they even made broccoli taste good! As for the restaurant itself, the glasses were absolutely sparkling, tables had a generous distance from one another and even the toilets were smelling nice. Cannot fault it and will definitely be coming back.

    I had one of the best vegan meal in my life! I had the satay chicken and the teriyaki fish and I wasn't sure it really was vegan 😂 it was outstanding and the staff was very friendly too. I'll definitely be back in the future! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Excellent vegan restaurant! The food was magnificent and the staff is highly knowledgeable of a vegan/plant-based diet. While light on atmosphere as it is located underground, all other aspects of the dining experience more than make up for this. Hope to return soon.

    Our starters and mains was amazing. Cherry's and chocolate milkshake must to be ordered. Unfortunately I do not recommend vegan donuts and vegan ice creams. This place need to be renovated. £88 bill for 2 of us.

    Had a lovely meal here last night. Service was excellent, we sat there for 4hrs in all and never felt rushed to leave. We grazed on their raw tapas plates, which were super tasty and interesting. We also tried some of their main dishes, which were huge and very tasty too 😍 Food excellent, service excellent. I'll be back 😜

  • 5/5 Ivan E. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food. Lots of bold flavours and felt really healthy. I ordered the lettuce Kimchi to start and the chili bean for a main. I don't regularly eat completely vegan food, but I actually found this really filling! I also had the raspberry 'vocktail' which was really refreshing. The staff were super lovely. The waitress was really friendly and nice, despite being short-staffed and the restaurant being really busy. The chef was coming out and serving the food, which was really nice to see. All in all, a great experience. Would definitely go back.

  • 5/5 K p. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was fantastic, we order 2 starters (one with kimchi and one with the cheese cracker), the main (nyonya curry) came first, we were carried away with the mains and I forgot to take pictures with the starters. Overall, the food was awesome, it has fantastic flavour, good portions and it makes you feel whole and healthy. Very good customer service, the restaurant has a very chilled atmosphere, I would recommend you to try this vegan restaurant!

    Located in the middle of china town is a great option if you are looking for healthy REAL vegan food. We tried the main courses (one curry and one with mushrooms) that were amazingly designed and super tasty!. Highly recomended if you like thai food and that type of flavours.

    I’m still remembering these dinners at Vantra Vegan (specially the “baked donuts”). We found this place by chance thanks to the good reviews regarding gluten free food (I’m coeliac) and what a pleasure it was. Thanks to the nice staff and congrats for everything. I’m definitely recommending it to everyone visiting London. Hopefully, see you soon!

    This evening I attended with my friend. I thought the food was delicious. We only had a small dish to share. Oh my god! The flavours from the dish made me reeling for more so we will definitely be coming back to try the other things on the menu. The server was also so lovely I wish I got her name.. I ended up leaving my phone and she also gave me the brand of the tofu lamb. Legend!!

  • 5/5 Georgia C. 1 month ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Went to Vantra recently with my friend who's a vegetarian. We both fully enjoyed both the meal and the atmosphere. For some context, I'm not a vegetarian nor vegan and I normally eat meat, fish or seafood dishes. But the food at Vantra was well seasoned and tasted incredible. I'm already planning a return visit to try other dishes.

    Beautiful Aladdin's cave of a vegan restaurant. Warm friendly inviting, amazing healthy wholesome food with lovely helpful staff. Great value pay by weight buffet. Peace and calm in the heart of the West End.

    Amazing, delicious vegan food at a great price. When we went there was a wonderful variety of tasty food which satisfied our whole family, kids and adults alike. The atmosphere was laid back and relaxing and the staff were friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Kim W. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicious! Great food, lots of variety. You pay by weight so you can try a little bit of lots of things which I love. They have a cooked food and a raw food selection, with sauces and oils. Plus desserts and lots of different juice/smoothie drinks and hot drinks. It's vegan, gluten free and with no added sugar. You go up to the counter and fill your own plate, but they bring you drinks and desserts to your table. You pay at the end. We ate in at about 6 on a Saturday (10th Nov) and there was plenty of room. It has a very nice relaxed atmosphere. There were two of us but six could have easily walked in and gotten a table. There was an area with instruments so I guess they have a band sometimes. They also offer takeaway with three set price boxes of whatever you want, at very reasonable prices (£5-9 each). Will definitely visit again in the future. I'm veggie, my omnivore mum also enjoyed very much!

  • 4/5 Melissa S. 4 years ago on Google
    Good selection of foods to choose from. Pay by weight at dinner time and can choose from raw, cooked or a combination of both. They also have a delicious selection of deserts I tried the hazelnut donut.

  • 5/5 Steve Paul S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful vegan restaurant. Has been open again since September 2020, and is expected to reopen after the next lockdown after the conversation I had with the staff. Very relaxed happy atmosphere which is very refreshing. Food was absolutely delicious from a menu currently. It's been quiet so please support Vantra to help them stay open. Best wishes Steve

  • 5/5 Cyrille K. 3 years ago on Google
    As a non vegan going with a vegan I can say food was great, healthy and just delicious. Service was perfect with the current measures in place regarding this pandemic, all this in a nice and cosy place. Definitely recommend it even if you're not a vegan.

  • 5/5 Sammy R. 3 years ago on Google
    I have always loved this place and tonight I was reminded why. The food is delicious - so well thought-out, healthy, yet leaves you feeling completely satisfied and such high quality ingredients. The service is fantastic too. And make sure you try one of their Vocktails- soo good!

  • 1/5 Moon S. 3 years ago on Google
    As a vegan, I really wanted to love this place looking at the photos and positive reviews. I was excited to try their food and even though the presentation was quite poor, I filled a plate and paid £30 for it, but it was inedible. The mushrooms in the stroganoff must have been stale and overcooked because they felt like rubber and impossible to chew. It is usually my favourite dish but I couldn't stomach it. £30 in the bin!

  • 5/5 Hseedus R. 3 years ago on Google

    I tried Vantra for the first time in January. I had actually walked by it several times without noticing, so really glad a friend recommended. They had a good buffet style hot and cold selection. My favourites that day were the jack fruit curry and mushroom stroganoff. They had run out of spinach which I wanted to try but that just means I'll go back. I also like that the food was done by weight which meant I could try small portions of different things to see what I liked.

  • 5/5 Ignacio T. 4 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) It's very very good and there are a lot of choices. I arrived alone and had just arrived in London so I was a little "shy" to go down to this restaurant. No regrets !

It’s a good vegan option for a nice ambient evening.

    Really really delicious and filling healthy vegan gf food. Reasonable prices and superb service. Thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend! I would much rather give my money to support independent businesses like this one not only because they care more about what they have to offer and how they source it, but also because they make your experience more personal and interesting.

    Me and my partner came across this wonderful raw vegan restaurant by chance. The welcoming atmosphere and ambience made us stay and dine. The staff is fabulous and went above and beyond. The food was beyond our expectations. We could tell this was made with love! The wonderful atmosphere and touch of nice and relaxing music made this experience perfect for us. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for (raw) vegan and gluten free! (And to anyone else).

    Green smoothie was perfect. Wasn't too keen on the soy lamb or the fermented food but the service, vibe, decor and the rest of the dish was very nice and incredibly healthy. Very hard to find a tasty, healthy vegan restaurant in London but this nails it!

    There a lot of great food in London, but it's hard to find great food that's healthy and leaves me feeling better after eating. This places nails that need.

    My boyfriend and I had a delightful meal here the other day. I had the Nyonya curry and my boyfriend had magical mushroom and we shared a satay "chicken" side. I found the dressing on the salad really delicious too! Lovely fresh food! Will eat here again!

    Overwhelmed by all the vegan options and opportunities in London? We were, and we are glad that we also came here beside all the other inviting offers in different areas. This vegan restaurant next to Chinatown promotes itself as the first fully vegan restaurant in Europe. If you decide to go in and downstairs you'll find a lovely place with a buffet that leaves no healthy wishes unanswered. All food is meant to be sugar-free, gluten-free, free from artificial ingredients and above all it is raw and only steamed instead of cooked. Do yourself some good! Get in there, order an awesome milkshake, take a plate and put on what attracts you most and then pay by weight which is also fair and kind of a nice idea. It is something special, don't miss it no matter what your diet looks like, this can only support your health and satisfy your appetite! - and maybe you will stick to a plant-based diet if you aren't already.

    I am not vegan but this was a lovely meal - I ordered the medium size curry and it was super tasty. The waitress was really nice! I loved that you can pick your juice combination

    Tasty healthy vegan food with interesting dressings and home made ( including soya). Also amazing mylkshakes, smoothies and juices. Good choice of organic wine but we didn't get a chance to sample it. Donuts were lovely too. Gem in central London.

    Why is it that when I type in ' Vegan Restaurants London ' Vantra doesn't show up until you zoom right down to the location? After a great gig at Ronnie Scott's we walked through China Town looking for a place to eat and on a Saturday evening there was queue at most Restaurants. So it was by chance that my niece saw the sign for Vantra Vegan and we were more than pleasantly surprised with what we found as we walked down the narrow staircase. The hustle and bustle of Leicester Square could have been in another city. Add to that the amazing quality of the food ..I chose the Detox your World dish...can't wait to return. The drinks menu is extensive but I was a bit disappointed with my choice but my niece loved her choice.

    The food was delicious and at a good price, freshly cooked and had a great service. However the drinks were quite expensive.

  • 5/5 Claudia K. 2 years ago on Google
    As a coeliac veggie, it can be really difficult finding restaurants that have suitable options for me. And if they do, normally there's only one thing on the menu I can have, so very limiting. My partner searched for vegan restaurants in the area and we saw Vantra was rated 4.9 on Google. When we arrived outside, we noticed everything was gluten free and I was over the moon! The menu just looked absolutely amazing and I can confirm that the food was mind-blowing. So delicious and filling. I will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone.

    Honestly, the best Malaysian nyonya curry I've had. Their food is humble, healthy and plentiful and the flavours were delicious. It's a hidden gem in Chinatown - you need to keep your eyes peeled to spot the entrance!!

    What a lovely vegan restaurant in the centre of Leicester Square. Excellent food and friendly service. Well worth a visit.

  • 5/5 David Ferreira da Silva N. 1 year ago on Google
    I cannot find a word to describe this restaurant. Perfect for both vegan and gluten free restrictions. I've ordered a chili beans, my wife a avocado salad and it was wonderful. To desert, a different type of muffin, not fried but in the over, DELICIOUS. If you want a healthy, natural and awesome restaurant, this is the place.

    I’ve wanted to visit for a long time and finally made it. I wasn’t wowed by the look or feel of the place and can see why others may have walked before eating, but I knew not focus on the basement look, and to look at the menu where the real magic happens. Talking of which… we ordered the magical mushroom, a thai twist and a side of fish to try. Now we were wowed … Thai Twist - it’s described as a vegetable, sprout and seaweed noodles, with exotic fruit, tree nuts, flaxseeds, spices and tahini. Those ingredients do not convey what I tasted - it was a flavour explosion blowing my mind. I struggled to work out how everything tasted different but melded into a heavenly spicy but sweet, light but filling delight that made me want more. This has to be my favourite salad ever now. I’m sorry I can’t describe it better. It’s amazing. Ordering the Magical Mushroom was a superb choice too. Talk about a hearty meal with a complex marriage of flavours and perfectly al dente garden vegetables. The mushrooms wouldn’t be up everyone’s street and the texture is slimy, but for me they couldn’t have been cooked any better. They retained their bite, flavour and the slimy sauce accentuated the taste bringing out every element a mushroom is savoured for. 10/10 Vegan Fish? Having been a big fish eater in the past this was mackerel. It looked like it. Tasted like it. The texture was perfect. It would fill anyone. Cooked in a teriyaki sauce it was simply devine. I’ll be having this in a dish when I return. After opening in 1999, I can see why it’s still open over 22 years later. We’ll done Vegan Vantra.

    What a wonderful find. The staff are easy going. I love raw food and I’m always interested to sample different styles. Loved the decor and ambience. The food is clean, with no toxins, no allergy items (well none of mine - garlic, oats, wheat). Highly recommend for everyone including none vegans.

    Great service and great food as well. A modern take on traditional dishes with vegan substitutes. Impeccably balanced sauces and I didn't miss the chicken too. I had V.chicken satay and exotic curry which came with brown rice. One missing star is for the price I had to pay as I rather found them on the expensive side. I do understand Chinatown isn't the best place anymore for a great deal however might want to consider a pound of 2 off the menu. 13.8 and 7.8 would be ideal as it puts you into ease eventhough it isn't far off from the price now. I would've happily ordered another side which would easily make more per table ( my two cents 🙂). The smoothies are really worth the price and definitely would recommend. They have 6 pages of healthy tasty drinks menu! Overall a clean, friendly place and would recommend certainly for a visit. Thank you for making the evening "healthy and tasty"; the 2 words I never imagined would go together!

    The food was so delicious! I would say the best vegan restaurant, that we ate on our vacation so far! The drink range is huuuuuge !! And everything tastes delicious!! The waitress was nice and sweet and recommend some stuff we can try out. The location was sweet decorated and the bathroom smelled soo good (because there was everywhere incense sticks around). We had a copy place and had a great time!

    Amazing place with super tasty and healthy food. It’s safe for gluten-free people and for vegans. The food is fresh and it’s not heavy on stomach. I have a lot of food alergies and I’m suffering from IBS yet still I felt really good after eating there. I will be back during my next visit in London 💜💚💜

    An absolutely amazing experience! Went there as I was disappointed by another restaurant and was super hungry , Vantra came THROUGH! The staff there is so kind and there is so much science put into their dishes ! My sister in law is into Ayurveda and there are so many lovely references she found in the menu and she was blown away, so was I! When you go there , ask for SA , the lovely waiter who served us! Definitely going to visit over and over again, they put their soul into their food!
