    In short, this restaurant is a heaven for vegans and others as well. It offers a plant-based buffet with a large variety of items. Though I am not a vegan, I fully enjoyed the food offered at this restaurant. I strongly recommend you to eat at this place. Here is an in-depth review based on my time at the restaurant: AMBIENCE: The restaurant has a very nice ambience. The colors are joyful and paintings are amazing (check my pictures). The restaurant was top-notch in cleanliness. HOSPITALITY: The staff are warm and welcoming; respectful and hospitable. We also met the chef, and he was very cheerful and friendly. FOOD VARIETY: The buffet has so many varieties of vegan foods: Salads, chutneys, etc (check my pictures). I have never seen such a lavish buffet. The chef seems to be an expert in many cuisines, notably the Indian cuisine. TASTE: The taste of everything that I ate was exceptionally good. Each of the food item in the buffet has its own unique mix of flavours. For example, the "aubergine caviar" (it's vegan and has no caviar at all) had a unique smoky flavour and was really delicious. The "berries and cream" had a unique sweetness to it. In the same way, each item had a unique flavour. I never experienced so many flavours in one meal. The chef seems to be a very skilled person. He certainly knows how to make delicious food. COMPLIMENTARY DRINKS: They offer you a complimentary drink: coffee, tea, or mint-lime drink, whatever you choose. My friend had oatmilk tea (also called Chai), and said that it is tasty. I had the mint-lime drink, and it was delicious and refreshing. I highly recommend either of these two drinks. DECENT PRICE: You fill up your plate with food and take it to the counter. You pay based on the weight of the food that you choose to eat. I took everything that I wanted in my plate. The selected food weighed 0.76 kg (check the uploaded picture), and cost around 15 Euros. For this price, I never had so many varieties of delicious foods on my plate. TIMINGS: For a place which offers such nice food, it is a pity that it is not open all day. The opening timings are only from 10:45 AM to 3:00 PM. However, if you want to have a late meal, there is a trick you can use: you can visit the restaurant before 3:00 PM (for example, at 2:55 PM) and stay until 4:00 PM even. The staff are nice and will let you have your meal in peace.

    Delicious food, Indian flavours with a huge variety of options. It’s an all plantbased buffet, you pay by weight. Some of the best food in Helsinki.

    Warm, calming, nourishing…and all VEGAN! 👌 I come here whenever I can when visiting Pasila. The food is gorgeous, the plates are huge and you can fill them as much as you like. It’s all vegan and absolutely delicious, staff are friendly and helpful too. You really can’t fault this place. The world would be a more peaceful place if more people ate their lunch here!

    Laadullisesti melko samaa tasoa kuin Silvoplee parhaimmillaan. Varmaan kaupungin paras kasvisbuffet, mutta yksi täysi lautasellinen ruokaa maksoi lähes 30 euroa eli ei täällä kovin usein ole varaa käydä.

    Tästä ei ruoka (vegan tai ei) juuri enää parane. Erinomainen laatu ja todella hyvä valikoima. Hinta ateriaan määräytyy painon mukaan, eli isoon nälkään saattaa upota selkeästi enempi rahaa normilounaaseen nähden. 😉

    (Translated by Google) If you are a vegetable eater for example then I recommend but myself I am not so I do not really eat around vegetable weighted food but I recommend vegetable eaters it is definitely good for them even though I myself should not but remember that this is just my opinion. Try it if you want to try something different than ordinary steak or something like that. Testing may or may not be fate but I still recommend it. (Original) Jos olet kasvis syöjä esim niin suosittelen mutta itse en ole niin en oikein syö noin kasvis painoitteista ruokaa, mutta suosittelen kasvis syöjille on varmasti hyvää niille vaikka en itse pitäisi mutta muistakaa että tämä on vain minun mielipiteeni. Koikeilkaa jos haluatte kokeilla jotain erillaista ei tavallista pihviä tai tällaista. Testaus voi koitua kohtaloksi tai sitten ei mutta suosittelen silti.

    This , and I gotta say I'm really enjoying their food, service and the concept where you pay by your plate weight. So do yourself a favor and take a break from your (home)office and come here to have lunch. The food is Indian inspired and it's just ridiculously good, one of the best I've had. There's vast amount of great options to pick from: salads, sauces, homemade bread, warm foods etc. I had the pleasure of receiving a complementary chai drink today and it was just super. If you are ever nearby and looking for a great lunch experience, this place comes with high recommendations from my side. Check it !

    (Translated by Google) One of the best things that has come up against 35 vegetarians. (Original) Yksi parhaista mitä on tullut vastaan 35 kasvisruokailun aikana.

    The food was extremely delicious and the guy who served me was very nice and funny! Although the food seems to be very based on Indian cuisine, they offer a great variety of different meals. For everyone who loves Buffets and/or eating vegan food, I would definitely recommend to try it out!

    Best vegetarian food / buffet on that side of Helsinki.

  • 5/5 Eero P. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unconsciously fresh salads and warm food have no flavors in the pan. Your food dose is weighed, so you only pay for what you eat. The buffet table is long and always has wonderful sauces and sauces. The space is quite large, but still calm. A little less than 100kg will be saturated with 11-13 € satsin when you have a good lettuce. (Original) Mielettömän raikkaita salaatteja ja lämpimissä ruoissa ei ole makuja pihtailtu. Ruoka-annoksesi punnitaan, joten maksat vain siitä mitä syöt. Buffettipöytä on pitkä ja tarjolla on aina ihania kastikkeita ja sooseja. Tila on melko suuri, mutta silti rauhallinen. Tämmöinen vajaa 100kg painava ukkeli tulee kylläiseksi 11-13€ satsilla kun ottaa reilusti salaattia mukaan.

  • 5/5 Tuomo H. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I think Pasila's best lunch buffet. The food is really varied, healthy and tasty - warm food has always found completely new flavors, even styles previously unknown to me to prepare food. The space is cozy, the staff friendly and caring about the customers visible. I really recommend it to anyone who feels that there is no need to have a dead animal in a meal. (Original) Mielestäni Pasilan paras lounasbuffa. Ruoka on todella monipuolista, terveellistä ja maukasta - lämpimistä ruoista on löytynyt joka kerta aivan uusia makuja, jopa minulle aiemmin tuntemattomia tyylejä valmistaa ruokaa. Tila on viihtyisä, henkilökunta ystävällistä ja asiakkaista välittäminen näkyy. Suosittelen todella lämpimästi kaikille, jotka kokevat, ettei ateriassa ei ole pakko olla kuollutta eläintä.

  • 5/5 Ashish C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great taste. Very elegant. Must visit place

  • 5/5 Rae R. 6 months ago on Google
    Very tasty food with several options. All vegan. Only minus side is, that if you are a big eater, you might end up paying quite alot for lunch.

  • 5/5 Venkat M. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome food. Unlike, typical spicy Indian food, this place offers delicious, non spicy which tastes great.

  • 5/5 Axel E. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Annukka K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing, healthy food! Great variety.

  • 5/5 Sona J. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has such a warm and somehow pure energy. Food always keeps surprising me, and my eyes would definitely eat double portion of what my stomach is capable of. That's the only con of the place. You are paying food based on it's weight and you always take a little but too much. Because you feel like you want to try everything. But you can only blame yourself, no one else. 😅

    Delicious and almost authentic Indian vegan food. Diverse selection of items on the buffet table. Only downside being lunch costs around 20 euros which was a bit high.

  • 5/5 Sofia L. 8 months ago on Google
    Brindavan tarjoaa taatusti maukkaita vegaanisia herkkuja sekä suolaiseen että makran nälkään. Palvelu on ystävällistä ja tunnelma rauhallinen.

  • 5/5 Joni L. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome food, great staff!

  • 5/5 Aleksanteri K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Really good, high quality and most of all tasty vegan food. There is more than enough choice. Lunch is at the price of a kilo, a little special, but in itself sensible. (Original) Todella hyvää, laadukasta ja ennenkaikkea maukasta vegaaniruokaa. Valikoimaa on enemmän kuin tarpeeksi. Lounas on kilohinnalla, hieman erikoista, mutta sinänsä järkeen käyvää.

  • 4/5 Rauni H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Everything on offer is fresh and you will feel that the food has been prepared with love and skill. (Original) Kaikki tarjolla oleva on tuoretta, ja tuntee, että ruoat on valmistettu rakkaudella ja taidolla.

  • 5/5 Silva S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious, versatile, fresh and always fresh buffet. I recommend! (Original) Herkullinen, monipuolinen, raikas ja aina tuore noutopöytä. Suosittelen!

  • 5/5 mika i. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good selections and nice staff. Every vegetarian should try and others. (Original) Hyvät valikoimat ja mukava henkilökunta. Jokaisen kasvissyöjän kannattaa kokeilla ja muidenkin.

  • 5/5 Kari L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A diverse selection that differs from the dozen offerings in a way that is significantly better in terms of taste. There was also enough space in the hall. (Original) Tusinatarjonnasta makumaailmaltaan olennaisesti parempaan poikkeava monipuolinen valikoima. Sopivan väljääkin oli salissa.

  • 5/5 Nestori L. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good food! (Original) Erittäin hyvää ruokaa!

  • 5/5 J M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Definitely worth a try. Delicious Indian-style vegetarian food. Weigh and pay. (Original) Ehdottomasti kokeilemisen arvoinen paikka. Herkullista intialaistyyppistä kasvisruokaa. Punnitse ja maksa.

  • 4/5 Atte H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tasty food by eating the ice and good light feeling. The disadvantage comes from the fact that you never really know what food will pay in advance ... (Original) Maukasta ruokaa jonka syömisestä jää hyvä ja kevyt olo. Miinusta tulee siitä, että koskaan ei oikein voi tietää mitä ruoka maksaa etukäteen...

  • 5/5 Artturi L. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good vegetarian food, not as expensive as I thought. (Original) Hyvää kasvisruokaa, ei niin kallista kuin luulin.
