I ordered off Uber Eats, this definitely warrants a Google review. Absolutely delicious vegan food!!!! I’m not even a vegan and thoroughly enjoyed this.

Second visit to Kanu Poke now and I really cannot stress how fantastic this place is. I love everything about this place. The decor is fab, the staff are so friendly and the food is fantastic. It really is just a “feel good” experience coming here and I can’t wait to return again in future. Food is very fairly priced and really is delightful. Love love love this place!

I've never found it so easy to rate a place. Food: simple, five stars. Service: no mental effort required, five stars. Atmosphere: we're on auto-pilot now, five stars. Overall: a doddle, five stars. No deliberation, no second-thoughts or hesitation. Our group of six, spent two hours of pure escapism provided by Kanu Poké infusion restaurant. We had no idea what to expect but instinct whispered to us that our true destiny was to be found at 5, Roushill, Shrewsbury town centre. Emerging from the restaurant was much like leaving the cinema after immersing ourselves in an incredible film - we reluctantly had to adjust to real-life again. This (vegan/glutten-free) restaurant is a gem. The amount of passion and dedication to the food, its presentation and the venue seeps from the walls. It's all home-made, on the premises, locally-sourced and more ethical than Cliff Richard himself. The focus of the meal is all about 'the bowl'. It hardly matters which one you choose, as they are all bursting with colour, taste and healthiness. The vegan 'meats' are tastier than the real thing. The breaded or barbequed 'pork' is more flavoursome than pork and the crunchy, fried, 'chicken', is somehow, more appetising than chicken. Half our group wouldn't normally opt for vegan dishes but we have now been educated. Get with the times - humankind nows resides in a universe that is no longer under threat from the Linda McCartney vegetarian sausage. Each mouthful from your bowl will explode a different sensation on your palate and, very quickly, it becomes a joy to consume such healthiness. Naturally, you can stick to a structured menu with nibbles, starters and novel desserts. Again the 'beef' jerky surpasses the best South Africa can offer from a springbok. If it has been a long time since you able to get an appointment with your GP and feel you need to use the line, "my donoughts are purple", just choose appropriately from the sweet menu and you are covered. The person responsible for creating the Kanu Poké experience is George, who is more than happy to translate and explain your journey. George's invention began as a take-away service during lockdown times and it continues to grow. It is one of those adventures that you'll want to keep a secret, as surely everyone would want to go, the prices would rise and George would be tempted to sell his soul to the devil by accepting millions from a corporate franchise. We've missed two years of our lives by not discovering Kanu Poké when it first opened. Please learn from our mistake and take the trip.

AMAZING 😍 We were greeted with smiles and we had free rein of tables..we chose the one upstairs by the window, perfect for people watching. I fancied treating myself so I had the cocktail ‘Blueberry Shipwreck’ and it was so yummy! Would highly recommend. I then went for the ‘Forbidden’ Poke Bowl and the mix of flavours was so clever. Everything went together so well and it was super filling 😍 Overall a refreshing and exciting experience, never been anywhere like it! Even in winter when it’s cold it’ll light up your life ☀️🍹

Really really lovely building with hand painted murals on all walls, super warm and friendly staff and really delicious fully vegan and fully gluten free food, its super wonderful and pleasantly filling and every meal has every component described on the menu, every single item is gluten free *and* vegan so super great. Lots of spicy, non-spicy and varied sauce options too, the "chicken" poké bowl I had was gorgeous and had lots of really delicious additional toppings, really fantastic with beautiful presentation. Cant begin to describe how friendly and kind the atmosphere was, the staff both waiting and welcoming are so lovely and the cooking staff clearly care about the outcome as all meals look and taste amazing, fantastic.

Our first visit to Kanu Poke and it was soooo good we ended up having a 3 course lunch 🤣 loved the fresh, distinct flavours, gorgeous colours and textures of all the dishes we tried. My fussy 11 yr old ate more veg in one sitting than the last month ! We loved every morsel. So amazing to have a fully vegan menu too, so much choice. We'll def be back!

I’ve been to many vegan restaurants over the last decade, but none have been as incredible as Kanu Poké. It is hands down the best vegan restaurant I have ever been to, and for it to be fully gluten/nut-free is also so fantastic (and rare!) when it comes to vegan places. The restaurant is so quirky and colourful, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I was even lucky enough to try one of their recipe tests of a fried oyster mushroom/fried chick’n, and it was so nice that I was even offered to try it. He is clearly so passionate about food which you can really taste in the dishes. The food is absolutely incredible, there are just so many amazing flavours going on at the one time. I hadn’t tasted anything like it from a uk restaurant until then. If you’re ever in Shrewsbury, having food from Kanu Poké is a no brainer!

Considering how long how I have been following Kanu Pokés journey and salivating over at least 100% of their content, plus living down the road in Bridgnorth, it was only today for the first time I finally get to go and have a bite to eat. To you guys guys I am truly sorry and feel a little cleansed from this confession, but honestly what an amazingly warm welcome with fantastic food and ambience. We didn't go fully in on an immersive dining experience as popping in for an early Sunday lunch (midday) and had a couple of Poke bowls. I had the Mexicana, which was great. The guys had tempted me with a little sample bowl with our drinks of their home made Hawaiian style beef jerky so had to order more for lunch! So good! My friend enjoyed the Kanu Raage, trading her rice for rainbow salad and both dishes were sooo tasty! I am sure someone had buffed my edamame beans.. they were the freshest greenest beans I ever did see! Their homemade sodas are so thirst quenching too! The lemon and lime bitters we could of drank a bucket full! Looking forward to returning for an evening, delving deeper into the menu 😎 As absolute gem of a place for Shrewsbury and Shropshire! 5 of the Goldest of stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oh. My. God. It's hard to find restaurants that offer vegan food. It's even harder to find exclusively vegan restaurants. But to find a vegan restaurant like this?? Wow! We were returning from a holiday in Barmouth (where finding vegan food is basically impossible) and decided to stop off in Shrewsbury before we carried on home. This is probably the best decision we have ever made. Despite being long-time vegans, we have never tried poké, and this was the best place to have our first taste. We arrived and were seated quickly, and after perusing the menu we finally chose what we were going to have. There was a rush not long after we arrived so we were waiting quite a while for our food. There was also a slight hiccup with the children's menu not going through. However, it was more than worth the wait. Every bite of my meal had a different flavour profile, and every bite was delicious. Our 4 year old thoroughly enjoyed his meal as well, and any parent knows that young children can often be quite picky when it comes to trying new foods. Despite living nearly an hour away, we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a delicious meal and a great experience in your beautiful restaurant!

I honestly couldn't recommend Kanu Poke more and will be visiting again as soon as I'm back in Shrewsbury. I ordered the Phoenix Bowl which really packed a kick and was delicious, it'll be hard not to order it again on the next visit but looking at the menu it all looks so good. The entire vibe of the place is perfect and I love what they've done with the building, really transforming what were pretty boring and bland looking buildings before. I love the splash of colour it's brought to the town.

The food is to die for, super flavoured, tasty, and an exploration of new favours you’ve probably never had before ! My favourite thing was the bubble waffle and miso caramel syrup, such a treat.

I would rate Kanu 5 for its very unique and tasty menu, its great and diverse bottled drinks, cocktails, cost and friendly service. my guests are vegan and loved everything and myself and partner eat anything but adore your food, because it is so full of great flavour and texture. But i would only nock it down 1 point on one thing alone, which is relatively simple to resolve. Better air circulation and possibly air conditioning could really help especially upstairs and make the full experience brilliant. I have been in the spring and summer and we preferred downstairs as it was a bit too hot upstairs and in winter, it is warm upstairs but you do get heat and moisture from the kitchen that steams up your glasses when you enter. Maybe i am being a bit picky, but this place is a real gem 💎 so i prefer to wish to help and be honest with them so that they are even more successful going forward.

I was definitely not disappointed, the decor, the staff, the atmosphere and of course the food were all absolutely spot on. Neither my GF or I are vegan or vegetarian but we like trying different foods. We ordered some of tapas dishes and a Poke bowl to share. All were fantastic. We also had a mocktail each which were also great. We were completely stuffed but when the waiter talked us through the homemade ice cream flavours we had to try them and oh my days they blew our minds. The flavours were so good, like nothing you have tasted before. I'm quite lucky about restaurants and food, I find a lot of places try hard and get it wrong or often food is pretty on the plate but massively lacking in flavour. There's a lot of restaurants in Shrewsbury offering streak, pizza, pasta, chicken etc. So e do it well, plenty do it very average. Kanu Poke is doing something completely different, something really interesting and exciting. Not only is the food beautifully bright, colourful and enjoyable but the restaurant itself is the same. The wall paintings, the hanging plants and even the music is all exciting and well matched to the innovative menu. Trust me, you need to try this place.

An absolute must try in Shrewsbury. The food is so innovative, exciting and enjoyable. The whole decor and atmosphere of the place is spot on as well. Colourful, joyous and fun. I'm not a vegan or even vegetarian but that didn't matter at all, the menu is just brilliant. Trust me you have to experience it 👏🏽

If you want deliciously tasty Vegan food in a colourful backdrop within the beautifully scenic town of Shrewsbury in Shropshire then you won't be disappointed. The level of detail these guys put into this place is OBSCENE! Let's start with the food... I was fortunate to meet the owner and I pressed him on all points that I think let down a restaurant, every single answer was pleasing indeed. Seed oils... you can forget it. Processed ingredients... no way. In my mind, there's no real justification here for promoting gluten-free to non-celiacs IBS suffers (because the food has been carefully considered) - just insert forks (or spoons) and insert the yummy goodness into your mouth hole (your tum tum will thank you). But anyway, clarify I don't think there's any gluten in the building. So possibly one of the few restaurants in the UK that can say they are suitable for Celiacs based on the PPM test. The décor... there's plenty of bland restaurants, THIS IS NOT! Bold, colourful and full of the same character that comes with the super friendly team you're going to meet, and the plates of Pacific fusion that you're going to eat. What a treat!

We have been here a number of times and it is always 10/10 from service, menu options and of course the food. We have tried the full English breakfast, the sausage and bacon baps to take away, the eggs royale, the Philly cheese steak and the tuna melt over our last few trips. In addition to this the drinks are great, lovely big coffees and milkshakes are amazing! Never a bad experience and always a warm welcome from the staff. We will be back soon

First time my son & I had tried this deli, disappointing. I ordered the ham, brie, & cranberry pannini but it arrived with no cranberry. My son ordered the ham, goats cheese & olive roll, arrived with no olives! The roll seemed a little stale on one side. Although the owner gave me some very watery cranberry sauce (new jar needed), my son decided it wasn't worth the wait for his order to be corrected as we had an appointment. My pannini was good, but we would like what we order to be as described.
