Reviews for Nature Vegetarian Food

Warm friendly service. It can take a while sometimes to get your order but that is because they make it from scratch and do not do mass produced batches. I love the curry rendang and bbq buns and butter mushrooms. A fave takeaway is the curry fried noodles. Just thinking about it makes me want to head out now for a couple of their dishes. Eat in or take away. Forget the burger bar on the corner, check out Nature Veg. Yum. Delicious.

This is our whole families favourite restaurant… plus we take out alot too. Delicious!
Our two children are pretty fussy, and are definitely meat eaters, but they just love the wonton soup and the entree buns and tom yum rice. Delicious!!!! I can’t speak highly enough of the food or the service. Top notch. Bring a coat if in winter as I have felt a little cold there at times.

Simply Amazing, Me, my husband and my baby visit this place almost every week, love it to bits, considering we are vegetarians ourselves, this place offers great variety of options. Their must try dish is Rendang and Lemek, MOUTHWATERING

I had the golden tofu and the vegatarian steak,being vegan it was great to see the selection offered, My eating partner had the wonton soup (unfortunately, we could not see one wonton in the soup!)and a noodle dish. I received my toful quickly enough, but then we waited for approx 35 – 40 minutes for the next dish, which was rather disappointing and we were starving by the time the food arrived! We kept on eagerly waiting and watching everybody else getting their food served and wondering how long we would have to wait. So would only do takeaway in the future, not sit in again. Waitress was nice enough, food was really amazing so tasty and (I guess) worth the wait. Great to have vegan food available that is nutritious, tastes great. Seating meant that we were at the mercy of who ever used the sliding door to enter or leave to actually close the door, meaning we often felt a draft and had to get up and close the door ourselves. Table that we sat at really had to be wipped down before we started as it had bits of carrot on it, so I suppose some attention to detail does lack, we ended up using a serviette and doing it ourselves. I asked if the lollies that were available at the cashiers desk were vegan and was told yes, just as well as I check ingredients myself as one of them was not vegan. So love the food but on the whole has room for improvement on other things that do matter and count.

The quality of the food is 2nd to none. The presentation of food is first class and every mouthful is an explosion of delishiousness. Well done for your contribution to violence free food in Wellington. Wish you were in the city, but then I’d probably be eating there every night.

The food was delicious! The presentation, service and manner of the staff was also outstanding.

I was not expecting vegetarian food that was better than non-vegetarian food – the vegetarian meat equivalents were fantastic: texture, taste, look, everything was as if it was meat.

I was pleasantly surprised and will be returning to work my way through the menu.

This is a small family run cafe. The best vego food in the region without a doubt! There are plenty of dishes to choose from and the food is delicious.
The BBQ buns, butter mushrooms,curry rendang and fried mee hoon are absolute favourites, as are the sweet and sour chop,steamed buns with gravy, and curry puffs.
Get along and check it out. Our carnivore friends go there now too!
They also have a takeaway menu, but you can also take away most dishes from the dine-in menu.
Warm respectful family service in a small cafe, that is well worth the effort even for meat eaters!!!

So delightful. So much love and care is put into the food and the staff are so friendly and sweet.

Delicious vegan food that omnivores seem to dig into as well. I love the curry with the steam bun, like eating a cloud with the most delicious rich curry sauce.

Will go back again and again.

This is by far the best Vegetarian Restaurant in Wellington if not further afield. The food is to die for, the curry puffs, bbq buns, steamed buns, vegetarian steaks…ohhh my mouth is watering! we will return again and again and again for dine in and take out! Don’t go anywhere, your food is devine and everyone should get a chance to sample it !!!

I have to agree with the other reviews here. The food and service here is excellent! One of the best meals I’ve had in weeks. I wish Wellington had more vegetarian restaurants of this quality!

Okay so it’s a bit more cafe than restaurant, but such FANTASTIC food. Lots of choices of wonderful vegetarian tastes. Really friendly hosts. We just wished we lived closer, even though they also do takeaway.

This is the best vegetarian restaurant in the Wellington region. I absolutely love the food! From the outside the restaurant may not look like much but the owner is so passionate about the food he cooks – he even helps you choose what dishes to get if you are unsure!
