a fabulous lunch reunion with a dear friend from uni days. reminded us of our veggie days at mildreds, cranks etc. food at whole meal really was a talking point. delicious, tasty and true fresh flavours of each ingredient. generous portions and a festival of colours in the salad. a real feast for the eyes and even more so when you eat! great value for money too which is always a bonus especially in london - mind you after singapore everything here at home seems cheap!

for my first visit i was made so welcome and the staff explained the menu and the possible combinations available. the meal deals are a great option for menu ditherers like me who cannot decide because everything is so inviting and i am so greedy. i like to have a bit of everything! perhaps a taster plate is another option? just an idea.

atmosphere is relaxed, warm and inviting. no one is rushed even if they just come in for a drink.
i would certainly return to eat here again and again and have already spread the word to friends in london. fantastic find. thank you, whole meal staff.

This resturant has become a firm family favourite over the years. It is always first on our minds when looking for somewhere reasonably priced to eat in South London. Despite being located off a busy road, we always feel the homely and freindly atmosphere, thanks to the freindly, sociable staff and lovely food. The food is wholesome and we never leave half full. There is always a wide range of different foods to suit both vegans and vegetarians. Due to the large portion sizes, they are always willing to split them for small children, at a reduced price. We highly reccomend this resturant to anyone, from large families to couples.

Fantastic. We went here on my Birthday (Valentines Day) this year as my daughter was dancing in London!! Hunted out a local (to Tooting) veggie restaurant on veggie heaven in order to meet up with fmaily members, who are not vegetarians. The food is amazing. Home cooked food and huge salads to die for!! This was lovely and not expensive at all (especially for London, on Valentines Day!!!) Would visit more regularly if we were closer and will definately be visiting next time we're in London!!!

Good staff? Excellent, have NEVER found others as good.
Quality of food? Excellent, fantastic, very FRESH. Tastes to suit all
Atmosphere? Quiet, fun, light, friendly,
Price guide? Good, varies. Suits everyone's pockets.

Used to live in Streatham, now I come this way to visit my dad, still use this cafe, always will! I even get take-away's, then I freeze them when I get home to West Sussex, if the meals haven't been eaten by my dad & I before I go home. Never had a problem going in there on my own, but get in early, it gets busy! Have taken non veggie's with me, even they have gone back. I can't recommened this place enough. So if you get the chance, GO, GO!
Enjoy your meals.

Unexpected but long-established jewel just off Streatham High Street, serving excellent veggie and vegan food in a peaceful, smoke-free environment. Two or three daily specials, soup of the day, wide range of salads and fantastic puddings, plus organic wines and beers. Main dishes around £6-7, with puddings less than £3. Thoroughly recommended.
