Arancini Brothers Old St in Islington

I'll keep it short and sweet. This y first time in a Vegan only joint. I loved it, very satisfying. Very friendly staff and the manager Saf explained very clearly how the foods were prepared and produced. Great experience all around

I went into the shop when I saw they sell chocolate cake. When I was about to pay the cashier told me all their products were vegan, which I was super disappointed about because usually vegan food just doesn't taste the same. With very low expectations about the cake... It was by far the best chocolate cake I have had in London. It was AMAZING! I definitely recommend their desserts.. the carrot cake was also good.

Me and my girlfriend came here and left extremely happy with both the quality of food and the friendliness of the staff. I only wish my stomach was big enough to fit more food in. Keep it up!

Mi aspettavo degli arancini classici con ragù e piselli e invece appena arriviamo ci spiegano che sono arancini vegani e ce li fanno provare. Sia quelli mushroom e zucchine sia quelli alle erbe non sono un gran chè ma decidiamo di provare l’insalata con anche le salse e nel complesso non era male però è stato difficile digerire tutte quelle salse. Bella selezione di bevande da accompagnare agli arancini.

Cycled here from work looking for something vegan or vegetarian. Ideally located near Clarkenwell / old street. Delicious risotto balls wrapped in a burrito with different types of salad And pulses all for £6.20! Very hip and quirky dining experience. With Buena Vista Social Club playing in the background!! Everything entirely vegan. Love it!!

This restaurant is not vegetarian friendly, it is 100% vegan only... wtf... jokers! £6.50 for beans, soy mush and granny smith apple... and it's called a chicken wrap... sort it out you jokers

I had a take away lunch from Arancini Brothers and found the mushroom wrap with arancini balls so tasty and filling. Totally love the 100% plant based concept. However a service on this particular day was not amazing, slow and not very friendly.

Healthy, quick and friendly take away. The riceballs are great! ANd the homemade garlic Mayo is to die for :)

I'm vegetarian, but my lunch buddy is vegan, so we struggle to find a place near our office where we can both eat. Arancini Brothers is the perfect answer. We usually have one of the variety of tasty arancini wraps each, today I decided to try the lentil stew, and was delighted the find it was just as tasty as everything else I've had there, with rice and two arancini balls and rocket. Served quickly, by nice staff staff, it was absolutely *delicious*, and my mate reported his vegan chorizo wrap to be excellent too. We will return, quite a lot, I suspect...

I've walked past many time, today I dropped in. I had the chorizo salad box, it was spicy and crunchy, and the 3 arancini balls were delicious. Will definitely be back!

I was heading back to my hotel when I stumbled across The Arancini Bros. I had never tried arancini before, but felt hungry for a snack so decided to give them a try, taking five original arancini balls to go. My only regret is that I didn't order more! The classic balls were delicious, gooey and had me immediately hooked. Such a shame I found them on the final day of my trip! I'll definitely be back to visit again in the future.

Love an Arancini ball (my brother intorduced me some years back now) and so was stoked to see this when just having a flying meeting nearby. Glad I went back - Yum! Also known as risotto balls (I think), who can resist a breadcrumbed, deep fried, cheese filled rice ball munch? They put a lot of spins on it too... This small stop by it seems is one of 4 (I think) stores now (Dalston and Kentish Town I think are a couple of the others). I arrived after the lunch time rush and so they were waiting for a restock of the salads, which was a shame as the pictures looked great and I was hoping to go for that option. They do wraps, ball combos in different numbers; the salad looked delish - and I'm not even a huge salad fan. I settled for just a few arancini and a couple of the dips. There are also vegan and gluten sensitive options, which was nice and I tried them anyway. The lady on the til also gave me a discount, I guess cos I looked a little forlorn about not being able to have the salad and could not wait for the restock. That gesture was much appreciated. They will stay on my radar and shall return whenever nearby one of their shops. Just a shame that it was a small location with no loo, but they convenivently had a sink area up front to help and a few seats too for those not on the run and wanting to eat in. Go suck it and see... You'll love it - I hope.

The shop was okay, quiet and friendly... Options of food were alright to say the least, given that I like good traditional arancini like in Sicilia; it's good that they give the option to have salad etc with meats but not creating traditional meat, peas and mozzarella coated in a rice ball and breadcrumbs etc made me slightly sad. Don't get me wrong, the salad was nice, the chicken was good too - even the cheesy rice balls but you can't call them arancini; it completely goes against why they were creatwed by the Italians - a staple food with basics that are filling and somewhat substantial smaller than actual orances, hence being called little oranges. I do wish that they had a meat version and they might have had a better review, but it's my first Arancini Brothers experience....

I've been wanting to come here for ages after having had some arancini balls in an Italian Restaurant. We had a selection of the risotto balls (12 for £7.50). The balls were a nice bite size and had a very rich and creamy filling. The cheese balls were particularly tasty. I'm slightly disappointed but think I will try again and go back and try some of the other menu options. The Risotto burger sounds very interesting......

Extremely extremely disappointed with our visit to the Arancini Brothers Old Street Cafe. We make and sell our own arancino from our shop in Buckinghamshire. We travelled 60 miles to see what these guys do and left wandering exactly what I ate! Three ping pong sized tasteless balls in a wrap so packed with salad and mayo it fell to pieces after the first bite. How dare you call these Arancini? Any Sicilian would roll about laughing at this mess. Arancini in stew? It's no wonder the only thing the aussies export is Fosters Lager. The only reason I gave it two stars is as a wrap it tasted alright but that was the bacon pieces I guess. Stick to the festivals brothers. I'm sure all the inebriated party goers will lap it up!

I am a big fan of arancini balls hance i visited this place a few times however it's getting worse and worse. The portions are shrinking and the amount of salad i was served last time was unbelievable! I've never seen anything so tiny in my life! For what they charge it's certainly what you'd expect. Definitely off my list now.
