    Finally we managed to eat here and it was certainly worth the wait. It’s top of our vegetarian section for two reason, firstly it’s very very good, but also because in addition to having vegan in the name it’s very nearly 100% vegan.

    The food arrived very quickly. Mustafa was very friendly and attentive; I was extremely satisfied with the service. I ordered fried cauliflower. The appetizers and bread were delicious, but the cauliflower was too oily.

    Sending love from KL. Been here twice now and will come back here each time I visit Penang! The falafel wrap is delicious. Fluffy falafels and veggies that are a perfect match. Great portion, staffs were friendly, ambiance was nice.

    Had the Falafel bazooka. Very good. Second time eating this. The portion is good for 2 persons. Recently went back to try their hummus and baba ghanoush. Quite tasty I must say. But I still prefer the bazooka. Next time will try the burger

    This was my first time at a vegan restaurant, and I was extremely pleasantly surprised. The four of us shared several portions and were able to try a little of everything. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I had the falafel plate and it tasted amazing! Plus, the location – next to several bars – is perfect! I went back the next day and tried the falafel wrap, and it was great too.

    Excellent falafel with vegetables, I can imagine it could be a little cheaper, but in the context of the main class I understand.
