Vegan This sign denotes that all the food served in the cafe or restaurant is vegan, but they may serve cows milk for hot drinks.
Those entries with a green background are 100% vegan.
(NB The cheap Chinese/Thai buffets have no longer been designated as vegan since they became independent and we have not been able to verify if all the food is vegan)

Very Cheap & Tasty
Indian Buffet
Open daily

At under £5 for an all you can eat buffet, this must be the one of the cheapest vegetarian Indian meals in London.
We love the fact that it has brown rice as well as white, and that included on the drinks menu is non-dairy lassis (in three flavours) - mango is my favourite. If you're into cheap, tasty, vegan food then this is a great place to eat. One word of warning - one of the curries/salads may contain milk or yoghurt (but not always) so check with the waiter. Also the green chutney contains dairy. Worth visiting

PIZZA RESTAURANTS - Warning!

Many vegans wrongly assume that all pizza without cheese is vegan. In some pizza restaurants in the UK the pizza base or the tomato sauce contain dairy or other animal-derived ingredients. Also, pasta dishes are often made using egg pasta! A summary of the main pizza restaurants follows.

Pizza Express have written to us (see letter) to confirm that that their pizza bases are suitable for vegans, as is their tomato base which is simply fresh tomatoes, salt, pepper and fresh basil. They state it is important for you to mention how strict your diet is to the manager on duty, so as the chef can implement all necessary procedures to avoid cross contamination. (We further understand that on request the dough balls, bruschetta and garlic breads can be made without dairy ingredients, substituting olive oil instead).

Ask Restaurants (ASK) have confirmed that that their Margharita, Mushroom, and Vegetariana pizzas (ordered without cheese, of course!) are suitable for vegans. Dominos Pizza have a number of vegetarian pizzas listed on their website but the pizza bases contain milk!

Pizza Hut: they have reformulated their pizza bases - Pan and Italian bases are suitable for vegans providing that the pizza toppings you order do not contain cheese and meat products. (per email from them dated 30th November 2010)
