222 Veggie Vegan (Fulham)

• As my partner Sarupa is a vegetarian
• Recently they appear to have broken away from being a closely guarded local secret and the message has got out that this is a vegetarian eatery of note
• So I booked a table for dinner with high hopes
• I had no idea where we were going as it was a birthday surprise
• Given the almost left field location I was a little nervous but excited as we walked form the station to the restaurant
• As we approached seeing it was a vegetarian restaurant made me feel really happy
• Not that it is necessarily important to look swish
• It all looked rather wonderful so I was very happy
• Dinner after all is a sensory experience too&hellip
• Cor could do with some updating&hellip
• We soon saw the sign for 222 and I was pleasantly surprised
• Entering the restaurant it was clean and well presented
• In a non veg restaurant usually there is one or two choices which makes ordering pretty straightforward
• Because I could order anything and everything I knew I was in for a treat
• With interesting ingredients and combinations this looked like it was going to be a meal which would challenge my preconceptions of what a modern vegetarian restaurant is capable of
• Colourful and certainly something that was thought about before it reached the table
• There was a real flair in the way each dish was presented on the plate
• Moreish and left me knowing what was to follow was going to be superb
• As far as veggie restaurants go it is certainly a trail blazer
• The starter and main were so good I actually had to turn down the dessert opportunity
• Artichoke hearts beautifully cooked to perfection with herbs and a roasted pepper sauce
• It is well textured and here it was served in a wonderfully rich cashew nut cream making it a perfect combination
• T mention the pieces of oyster mushroom I found in the dish but they were a welcome addition
• Adding more texture with the flavour of the mushroom making the dish even more special
• It came served with brown rice which was perfect for mopping up the last puddles of sauce
• The service was good and as expected
• I really enjoyed the experience and the food was better than expected
• T think this is a place for a special occasion as it does lack some &ldquo
• It seems to me like most of the vegan places in London are very relaxed and have a&hellip
• We got there in the early hours of the evening on Sunday and surprise surprise we were the first ones in
• All the attention was on us until we were joined by more diners who seemed like they were locals
• Shaking hands with the waiters and being very friendly
• The restaurant is small but fits a lot of single and longer tables
• S decorated with stripped back basic furniture and warm lighting
• ) had been there before and said they do the best veggie burgers ever (Koray and Esin are you tempted
• ) so without even looking at the menu he ordered that for his mains and we opted for the pitta bread with dips for starters
• The pitta came promptly with 3 little dips including hummus
• Soft on the inside and was cut into moreish strips which are very handy to dip into the&hellip
• Their hummus was not as smooth as I tend to make mine but it didn&rsquo
• Seeing as it was a Sunday I went for the vegan Sunday roast for my mains
• As much as I was not interested in eating seitan (which is a gluten based alternative deceiving you into thinking you are eating meat
• As we both read Satan) but it was flavoursome and tender
• Cold dishes there was a bean and legume salad (the only other dish I actually enjoyed)
• This review is only for Buffet 100% vegan restaurant
• Keep your expectations low since a high ceiling and pretty lanterns are the only features to a cramped dining area
• Price the niche food is an attraction
• In Central London is truly a miracle
• Only the cost alone is enough to entice a crowd of young people like us and food enthusiasts
• I have been twice here and on both occasion I was given a time check
• 222 Veggie Vegan (Fulham) is worth a visit or two
• The platter is repeated every day makes one feel the niche is no longer niche
• We felt happy for them that they are doing well
• This is the only one we found where the spread is quite healthy as well
• Table reservation is highly recommended
• The spread is a combination of various cuisines
• The chole is the best from Indian cuisine
• My friend and I were at a seminar over the weekend
• All of these people are looking after their health
• I had everything that was on offer in the lunch buffet
• I very rarely give such a high rating but this is the best place for veggies in London
• The evening al la carte menu is great and offers good selection of healthy veggie/vegan fodder
• The lunchtime buffet is the showpiece
• Cold and raw foods that are healthy and delicious
• There is plenty of food and the staff are friendly and helpful
• The Vegan food was pretty good
• Some reason service for us was quite slow
• The restaurant is cosy but booking on a weekend is a must
• We had the fresh carrot juice with ginger which was refreshing
• Then we had the soup of the day which was fresh pumpkin cream soup which came with the letters 'enjoy' on it
• The pita with three different dips was also fresh and tasty
• The stroganoff was rich and creamy
• Plus I was also guilty that people who had made reservations were still waiting for a table
• Arrive early is what I would say
• Friendly staff and delicious buffet worth waiting for the table as the restaurant is so busy during lunch time
