Indian Veg Bhelpuri in Islington

great food, great signs and everyone was lovely!

A nice Indian all you can eat buffet for £9.95. There are various stews/curries and a good selection of salads. It's not a fancy restaurant but the food is delicious and the price is more than fair. And the owner also supports the homeless :) absolute recommendation for every veggie fan.

Legendary man, legendary food, legendary walls

For £10 & all you can eat, it's difficult to fault the value for money. The choice of food is decent and tasty. Seems pretty popular, not surprisingly

Very tasty food and great staff

The courier never arrived at the restaurant to collect our food. In the end the proprietor of the restaurant phoned me and said that he would bring it over himself, which he did.

Outstanding food in super welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Thank you so much.

Delicious all you can eat buffet, and mostly vegan! When I went there, everything was vegan except the mint sauce at the salad bar, although there is usually 1 other non vegan dish (paneer curry). Great range of curries, fried bread/battered potatoes /biryani/salads/lentil soup. Owner v helpful and able to point out which options are vegan. Cold drinks, including beer and cider, available too. Amazing value, paid around £10

I may struggle to put into words how utterly great this place is. The food is fresh, delicious, simple but full of flavour. It’s such great value for money, I may never be hungry again. And it’s BYOB with no corkage fee. The decor is outstanding. Do you like signs? This is the place for you. So much to READ! It really adds to the general wholesome energy of the place. We spoke to the man who owned it, and he said he’s been working there with the chef for over 40 years. He spoke so passionately about keeping the prices affordable for everyone to have a warm meal. They continue to provide free meals for people without housing. More of this kind of place. No, it’s not fancy or impressive. But it’s glorious. If i could give it 6 stars I would.

This place is amazing- such good value for money and delicious indian food

Indian veg is a gem - amazing value, tasty food and iconic interiors.

Protect Indian Veg at all costs!!! This place is a one of a kind incredible buffet restaurant. Relax, eat as much yummy food as you like and enjoy the positive energy. Legendary place, may they prosper.

amazing place with amazing food at amazing value

Super delicious food. You can usually get a sandwich in London for 9.95 - here there is a complete menu including water. The store also supports the homeless. Thank you!

What an amazing restaurant. We just happened to be passing by and popped in to discover delicious vegetarian food. Some homeless people passed by while we were eating and were given free food. If only everyone had tho outlook on life. So good!!

One of my favorite restaurants in London. A place that lowers prices in a cost of living crisis because they care about their customers. Looking out for the community, and the food is banging.

one of the best eating experiences in my life!

Magic, basic, friendly and casual and great value.

A gem of London history. Generations continue to come and be part of their legacy. Quality continues to be delicious and they have retained their atmosphere over the years. £10 per person for the foreseeable future so go when you can!

The perfect spot for tired book fairies to relax and fill up on beautiful vegan curry! After a day of hiding books around London it is a welcome break 😊

What a gem this place is. Lovely fresh veggie food for an unbelievable price of £9.95! So much choice and eat as much as you want. There is an ethical ethos and local homeless people are given free food every day. So much choice and the owner and staff are so lovely. We love it here!

Amazing all you can eat buffet for only £9.95.... including Detox water.....I will come again.......Great customer service

£9.95pp - been coming here for years 😄 lovely food and good value for money - cheap and cheerful and BYO

Honestly immaculate vibes and a cheap buffet all you can eat

Lovely place unlimited healthy food and new detox waters, the owner Mohammad Safa gives homeless people food and has been for 38 years now. Support them they are a lovely place

This place is a total gem. Exceptional value and quality, and on a mission to help people. Fully recommended!

Friendly and unhurried. Great homemade veg food. I have known this place for 30+ years and it’s always consistent. Took two friends with me this time, all three of us very satisfied with the experience

Incredible food, hard to believe the quality especially when you have starters, mains, sides and salad plus detox water all for 9.95. It's restaurant quality food in a buffet style service. The staff were really welcoming and friendly. Plenty to read and think about as you eat too! It's all vegetarian and most dishes are also vegan.

Fantastic value for money and lovely staff, too! The posters all over the walls are great fun to read. Healthy, tasty vegetarian food on budget and you can BYOB with NO corkage fee. We'll be back!

More expensive than the last visit but still excellent value for money. Recommended for a cheap place to eat if you are in the area.

Great stop for an affordable, all-you-can-eat-buffet with various curries and salads!

We discovered this restaurant during our stay in London on the basis of various reviews. The restaurant doesn't look like much, but the self-service dishes are excellent. Be careful, some of them are spicy. The owner is very friendly. A restaurant not to be missed. And the price is more than fair.

I come here for vegetarian takeaway. The menu is all vegetarian and clean with friendly staff.the price is very reasonable for the amount you have to eat.i do have a soft spot for the spiced potatoes...absolutely delicious.i highly recommend you try this wonderful place.you can eat in too and use the self service buffet. 10 out of ten from me👍👍👍👍👍

Nice food, but not a lot of variety or flavours. No cooked vegetables like carrots, broccoli etc, but there were some cold ones, which didn't taste that good. No desert was on offer. No dips were on offer. A few rice's and potato type meals plus pakoras were on offer. They had an offer on for £9.95, for 37 years of service, but you would have thought if they were celebrating there should be more variety. The toilets are not accessible to older people or wheel chairs, as you have to go down a very steep RED staircase. Somewhat acceptable to wheelchairs upstairs.

Reaaaaly good food, great selection. perfect evening meal.

The best place in London with the best morals thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

amazing place with amazing food at amazing value. could not recommend it enough, nice healthy fresh vegetarian and vegan food all you can eat!! support places like this so they stay open

I’ve been coming in for a while and I can’t compliment the service enough, I’m always greeted by the lovely staff. The food itself is always immaculate, it taste homely and heartening. It’s always a treat coming here, I can’t compliment the place and staff enough.

Excellent value. Delicious food. Amazing decoration. I would have liked more spicy options though

Writing this from the toilet the next day. I’ll spare you the details. I advise you not to eat here. I used to be a regular here a few years ago. It’s gone downhill since then… no food hygiene.

So delighted that after all these years this place is still here. Great food made with love. What more could you ask for?

Lentil spinach curry was amazing. Wedges were crunchy and delicious. All those beans destroyed my digestive system though.

Ok food, small selection, luke warm, no atmosphere, no customers and even the staff were missing most of the time. Plus a huge £5 price rise is a joke

I absolutely adore this Islington staple! The food is incredible, the people are lovely and the interior and ambience is absolutely unbeatable!! Perfect for a calm dinner with friends and family

What an absolute hidden gem for such an affordable price but does not skimp on quality or taste of the food! Highly recommend and will definitely come back again and spread the word!!!

PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE! I should I have known better when I walked in and nobody was eating here and the staff just looked at us with dead eyes for minutes before seating us. All the dishes tasted the same like lukewarm garbage. They didn't even offer water during the whole service or check on us once. The tables were dirty and bathrooms were dirty. Also, there isn't anything to see in the area so don't waste your time or hunger.

This a beautiful "eat as much as you like" for a set price. Various vegetables curry dishes, rice,and mixed salad on the side. The food has been consistance over many years. The only draw back for me, is they no longer do the freshly baked "whole meal Paratha"

Seriously tasty food with a real variation and labels of what everything is. Great vibe in the restaurant, very accommodating for a group of 15 and making sure we had space. They let us bring in cake and BYOB and gave me a great mug as a gift for my birthday!

Good quality vegan food for just £15 per person. Great taste and great value.

I really wanted to like Indian Veg - the reviews are fantastic, and I love the ethos of teaching customers about the nutritional benefits of vegetarian food. But to be honest, I came here for the dinner buffet and was completely disappointed with the food. Everything tasted more or less the same (and that one taste wasn't very good), it all kind of looked like sludge, and nothing was spicy or distinct. It was also very oily. As I left, I mentioned my disappointment to the attendant, and he didn't seem surprised.

The food was not worth the money at all. I felt nauseous after I left. The quality was cheap and the food did not even seem to be fresh. Not worth a visit at all.

Terrible experience , there making up prices as they go along , Should be closed down , give up or get your act together ,,,!!!!!

Enlightening. Filled my stomach and improved my sexual performance.

Fantastic food. We went there yesterday and will go again today! It's soooo delicious! One of the best taste experiences in recent years. The ambience is very special, but a matter of taste. Try the mangolasi.

Indian vegetarian restaurant. There is currently an all-you-can-eat buffet for €14.95. Alcoholic drinks can be brought with you. The food is quite tasty, but the fried things only tasted good when they were freshly added. Unfortunately, a lot of things were a bit cold

Came with four beers! left with a full stomach! thank you so much for the meal x

A very special place at Chapel Market. Nice comfort food. Everything is veggie friendly. Lovely staff & atmosphere. A very reliable option.

I have been going to the Indian veg since the 1980s and it has never disappointed.

I used to visit often when I lived in the area, and it was very good value back then. At £15 per head now, it's on the pricey side considering the decor is now rather faded and the options on the buffet far fewer than in previous years. All the curries were tasty but quite potato-based and samey, and just warm rather than hot. It seems good initial value for 'all you can eat' but in reality there's only so much potato curry and rice you can eat, and it's not the sort of atmosphere where you'd sit and stay for very long. Will probably return again, but with lower expectations. Staff friendly and polite.

Never again. Have been eating there many times over 15 years before 2020. Food and price were always ok. When I was in the area on Saturday I visited again after a long time. It was awful! Food was lukewarm, Poori bread and other things stale. They now charge 15 Pound for substandard food! I ended up with severe diarrhoea!!! It looks like I am not the only one. I regret haven’t read the Google reviews before my visit and haven’t checked UK Governments Food Standards Agency website where “Indian Veg” Food Hygiene is rated only 3!!! Says it all. If you care about your health AVOID!!!

Atrocious. Do yourself a favour and avoid. Been their earlier this evening and I already have stomach cramps. To be clear: i have been coming to this place whenever i was in London since the early 2000's when the "all you can eat" buffet was £4.95. Over the years, the food has always been good, and certainly good value for money. It now is £14.95 and the food is terrible. The food was luke warm, the poori cold. Which could be forgiven. But it gives you food poisoning. Not just myself. My partner too. Never mind their vegetarian credentials and long standing commitment. This place had it. We won't go again. Not paying £15 to poison myself.

I'm told this place is seen as a pillar of the local community, and rightly so. Fantastic food, served simply and directly in a characterful environment. Nothing pretentious or artificial here, a truly authentic dining experience. For a cheap price too. Strong reccomend for both locals and tourists.

We used to come here occasionally for years but it has now become overpriced and disappointing. The price has shot up hugely and what is actually put out on the buffet has reduced. We can go to a Sunday buffet in Kent cheaper and receive hot food, proper service and a wider variety of dishes including meat options. So you are paying a lot more for less now. The food is cold and hygiene could be better. It’s lost its charm! Sadly, I will no longer be coming back it isn’t what it used to be both in terms of price and options!

I can't give 0 Stars so I had to give 1. It's the worst place you can imagine. Cold food, and also there was no one it was empty and the decore was worse. My husband literally vomited and still we had to pay we didn't eat anything and had to pay 30 pounds.

When I entered Indian veg I had begun to feel poorly. Once I had left, I felt the best I had ever felt in twenty years. I felt my youthful spirit take over my digestion which had previously been deteriorating with age. I had energy levels that I previously felt were reserved only for my teenage years. Indian veg was not only fantastic food, Indian Veg changed my life.

I used to go here back in the 80’s when I lived nearby in Hackney. Happy to see it’s still thriving. Met the owner and reunited myself with the joy of all you can eat and eternal curry . The writing is on the wall , we are all steeped in existential pakora .

FALSE ADVERTISING. Their website says the price is £7.95 not £13.95. The food wasn’t hot and was barely warm. This isn’t really good value unless you’re a big person with a huge appetite. Very disappointing. I was surprised that it was so quiet on a Saturday evening but I expect other people feel the same way.

Very nice place and everything homemade. Very delicious food, 100% recommended. When we return to London, we will come again!

Beautiful food, loved eating there. And great to read all the wise words on the wall and ceiling. Relaxed atmosphere and very good value for your money.

You can’t fault it - it’s tasty, it’s affordable and it’s an institution! I had a great time on a recent visit - a wide range of tasty curries and salads, and you can really fill your boots. Great selection of soft drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. Iconic decorations and motivational posters.

This place is fantastic! Cheap buffet consisting of very decent quality produce and you can bring your own drinks at no extra cost. Lots of medical information on the walls but it’s mainly pretty harmless. Friendly staff and they occasionally give food to the homeless so it’s an already ethical place. I’ve been many times and will continue to come back.

Been coming here since 1990 so i know what to expect. Its still great value and bring your own botrle, great place whether you are alone or in a crowd rhe staff are friendly but leave you alone, unlike some other establishments nearby. May you continue to thrive

Best restaurant in Angel!! Lovely people and very informative posters!

Delicious food. Definitely recommended… lots of vegan options, we will be back :)

I went there with my mother during the summer! The food was amazing and the staff was delightful! Thank you so much!!

I have been coming here for many years. Always good food, polite staff and friendly atmosphere. I'm not strictly vegetarian but I am always satisfied with the tasty food here. I highly recommend even to carnivores. I love reading all the posters too!

Very tasty food quirky decor and great value

cant argue with the takeaway box 🥡

Unique interior but PERFECT food 😍 The food is authentic and really good. A hidden gem in the heart of London. I really recommend eating here! 5/5 stars!

Come on down and get your taste buds sorted out in the best way. It's all veggie, you can eat as much as you like and its a set price (12.50 when i went). There's a range of food for eveey palate, some old favourites and stuff i hadn't tried before as well. Very popular at dinner time.

I visited this Indian buffet eatery during the lunch hour with high expectations but unfortunately that’s all that it was. The starters were definitely from the night before and the majority of the dishes were luke warm and so lacked oomph. At £12.95 per head a tad pricey for mediocre tasting food. One to avoid!

Muy buen local, falta más variedad de platos pero está muy rico

Been going for years and it's BYOB

Can't go wrong with this spot. Always leave (more-so roll) satisfied

This is likely the best Indian food I have had in a restaurant, or that wasn't catered or home cooked. Everything tastes wonderful! The briyani is great, the vegetable curry is delicious, the fried options are crunchy even in the trays, and the mint infused items are vibrant. I'd happily return for their buffet, especially for the price. The only gripes I have are that the fried options are fairly oily. They taste great, but you can feel the oil taste inside them. The restaurant is also absolutely covered in wall paper listing all the benefits of vegetables and a vegetarian diet. Not a bad thing, probably not even wrong, but it felt like I was eating surrounded by diatery propaganda. Still, as I said before, the buffet was fantastic and I'd happily return. Can't beat it for the price!

Great deal, excellent food. Love all the inspirational and health signage. We'll definitely be back, thanks!

All the cooked food dishes were only slightly warm not hot. Most were of poor quality ingredients and tasteless. Few years ago they used to offer sweet dish included in the buffet but not anymore. Pretty disappointing for £12.95 so called special Anniversary reduced price.

One of a kind. Not for everyone, but I like the friendly atmosphere and the hearty vegetarian food.

One if my favorite places to eat in town! As well as the food being delicious I never true of my surroundings, reading material for days. I always think of this restaurant when in the area.

It's an amazing place ! Everything was delicious and of good quality. Me and my friends enjoyed our food and we gladly recommend you try it out !

Like a vegetarian restaurant should be: good food and affordable.

Simple, effective and delicious. £12.95 for a buffet cannot be complained about, especially when the food is so tasty. Service is practical, its byob at no extra cost, and its just such a pleasure to go somewhere as a vegetarian and be able to eat EVERYTHING. Will return again, this is a new fav.

10/10, would be assaulted by flavours and propaganda again.

The food is so good. It’s in my opinion the best restaurant in London.

Food is pretty standard Indian veg but decent - the BYOB policy is good but would be enhanced if ice could be provided. I'm also not sure what was in the food as lots of us complained about feeling very gassy after the meal which I'm not sure can be explained by the veg.

I come for lunch usually once a week. Incredible food, kind people. They have a pamphlet saying that they serve free takeaway food and a bottle of water to any homeless person day or night which I think is great. Cheap, delicious all you can eat food. Highly recommend

Great place, fantastic food, lovely owners!

Great food and worth every £ you paid! We have ordered a couple of things, but we have finished too quickly, so there are no photos for the first set we have eaten. Staff is friendly, food very delicious, especially the NAN bread! I have been so many Indian restaurants and I really really love the nan bread here! So soft , warm, fresh! Highly recommended 👌

Although the general taste of the food is good and the vegetarian propaganda posters add charm… my food was Luke warm there was flooding coming from the ceiling - the food was repeating on me right after eating and felt sick not sure because of temperature and it was left out too long or the cooking oils used? But would have appreciated a discount as 15 per head very steep as it’s quite carb heavy most wouldn’t eat more than plateful anyway I think if you halved the price or at least reduced to 10£ would be more reasonable

Food was nice but I am concerned about hygiene. There were so many flies in the salads so I chose only hot dishes that were fly-free.
