Eat of Eden (Vegan Restaurant, Vegan Takeaway, Lewisham)

Excellent quality food. Not salty or oily and full of flavour. The platters are great for variety with a good choice of dishes to choose from. The mini platter is so filling you don’t need extras. The food was just too good that I ended up buying from them twice in a day. Although vegan cuisines like this weren’t as accessible back in 2008, this would of definitely made me still be a vegan today. I highly recommend the place. Also, the cakes in a jar are heavenly. I am happy to have found a new local takeaway.

Tried for the first time and I must say the lentil stew and the vegan mac & cheese are winners!!
Only giving 4 stars instead of 5 because quite a number of items were not available!
As a new vegan (just 1 month), this restaurant will definitely be a regular! I will try more from the menu. The portions are massive so I saved the remaining food for the next day! Thanks!

Friendly staff but I before they opened one day I asked in the restaurant if they had everything on the menu, they said yes. I went back half an hour later with my 5 year-old and it turns out they didn't have chips.

To stop her from getting too hungry, and to ease her disappointment I ended up spending a fiver on one of their "cakes in a jar". Humph...

Note to owner... Next time if a customer asks if everything is on the menu please can you and your staff actually check rather just saying "Yes". Feels like the kind of thing that shouldn't need to be asked. 🤷‍♂️

When I have eaten there before, its been nice food.

Used to be good. I'd only ever order online and it would take around 4 hours to arrive, the first time I was told it was because it was Black Pound Day (and they forgot my mac pie) , the second time no driver. Nevertheless the food was tasty.

So anyway, 2 years on, I decided to give them another chance and pop in store. I ordered the chick pea curry, mac pie and black rice. The food is as bland as hell. The quality has definitely dropped and the guy didn't even get my order right (mushy sweet potato something, could never be a curry, imstead of the chick pea curry), but I didn't clock on, until I got home.

I'm very disappointed.

My favourite vegan restaurant I used to order from the West Kensington one but the lewisham place is just as good. I placed an order on just eat and the delivery driver stole my food, no help from just eat but the restaurant re made my food and delivered it themselves! Very annoyed with justeat but extremely happy with the service at eats of Eden. Thank you for the delicious food and wonderful service! 😊

What's cool about the spot -
A lot of vegan options packaged very well into platters/meals. The patties are really nice and all the main courses do have the apt flavours. Pumpkin mash and red beans are a good pick. The ambience is well thought of and is neatly maintained. Dining in is ok, but not suitable for large groups. Location being in a prime area, makes finding the spot easy. Parking can be tricky as this is in the main road. Definitely recommended if you are in Lewisham area.

The food was fine. The Eden Platter itself was decent value for money considering the items and portions you receive.

The Plantain, Mac & Cheese as well as the Callaloo were fine. The rest of the platter unfortunately I found rather bland; no real taste and each did not add any real substance to the rest of the items.

While I can certainly appreciate how this can appeal to a wide scope of people, I just didn't find the dishes flavoursome and, those dishes that I found had substance, were simply okay for what they were.

Considering the above, I have opted for a rating of 4 as I feel a 3 would be a tad harsh.

If I'm in the area this is my lunchtime spot and I'm not even vegan. The food bangs differently and you will not be disappointed.
