Karibu - Vegan Bar & Kitchen in Mendip

Really lovely food. Seriously tasty and filling. I'm a meat eater but certainly didn't feel like I was missing out. Packed with flavour! The chef is brilliant and very knowledgeable.

Amazing vegan food full of flavor and enjoyed by our veggies and meat eaters alike. We used the upstairs room for a party. The service was excellent, and the food exceptional. They even organized a birthday cake for us. Highly recommended.

Wow! What an amazing find! We loved every dish we tried (most of the menu! 😂) Highly the sweet and sour cauliflower small plate, the spinach curry and both desserts! Absolutely delicious food. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. We will be back!

Just delicious. Has small plates as we weren't that hungry. Varied, flavourful, exciting, wonderful textures, great dips, lovely staff: all great. Wish we'd been hungry enough for desserts, but next time for sure. Thank you!

Have been here often with friends and never disappointed. The staff are friendly and attentive and the food is always delicious. Such a lovely little space

We were a party of four, and we all absolutely loved the food, including the meat eaters! We had all four small plates and a couple of large plates, and shared them between us. Everything was delicious but the Asian Fritters and Pau Bhaji were our favourites. We also loved the puddings. Very friendly staff. Excellent value. We wish we lived closer!

Amazing food, nice simple menu and great service. I wish we lived nearer so could keep coming back! Even if you’re not vegan this is an amazing place. The food is so tasty!!!

The food is delicious would completely recommend. Even my husband who is a meat eater loved -Allces stew which was fabulous x

We absolutely love Karibu and Sandeep (owner/chef). The food is always so delicious and the setting friendly and ambient, we also love the music. If you’re in Stroud I recommended a visit, particularly if you’re vegan as you can eat and drink everything on the menu. And in the summer there is the delightful little terrace out the back.

Cute colourful little eatery with wonderful food. Location is close to the centre of Stroud. There is a downstairs area and an upstairs room with lots of different coloured table s and chairs. Good service and assistance, lovely eatery and the food is amazing. We ordered the ‘Alice’s smoky stew and Dumpling dish, the ‘Thai Massaman curry’ and a side of the polenta chips. The stew was really rich tasty, warming and the large dumpling lovely and fluffy. The curry was like a soup or broth, and the rice and vegetables came separately, so you could mix them together as you wanted. The chips were tripled cooked and very crispy, and came with aioli for dipping. It was all very delicious and well worth the visit.

Absolutely outstanding little gem! Fabulous freshly cooked food, packed with flavour! Would very highly recommend Karibu.

What a fantastic restaurant. We ate on the rooftop terrace with lovely views beyond Stroud. The food was exquisite - beautifully presented, unique and really tasty. Would highly recommend.

Booked a table for 8 for my friend's hen party and Sandeep was a pleasure to plan our evening with. The service and food we received on the night was wonderful, the team were very attentive to our needs, checking in at regular intervals. The food was delicious and the Sangria packed a great punch! Mojito was delicious as well. Thanks for hosting us! We had a great time!

We had a range of large and small plates between four of us, and it was all great. I think my favourite dish was the mung bean curry - the mango chutney was perfection - but the sweet and sour cassava came a close second. The chef came to check how everything was, and everyone was friendly. Drinks were good and we enjoyed it all up on the roof terrace at sunset.

We were made to feel so welcome by the staff who were attentive to our needs all night. They even arranged the tables on the terrace so we could catch the last of the sunshine. The food was delicious. I am gluten free and vegan, but there was lots of choice on the menu for me. There were four people in our group and we all had something different off the menu but each of us really enjoyed our dish. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

We regularly have takeaway lunch and Sandeep's food is always absolutely phenomenal. The small plates are great to share and complement the large plates. We can confirm that the cob of corn in coconut is delicious and works well with the curry and the tofu burger! There's something for everyone on the menu and always popular with omnivore family members as well as the vegan ones! The spicing is always perfect or 'delicately balanced' as my mother and niece agreed on their Thai Massaman curries. We're still debating the precise contents of the sauce on the tofu burger so that we can try to recreate it! One of the greatest compliments was my father declaring that we must remember to order an extra side of polenta chips next time to protect his!

Amazing - the chef was able to for us in on the terrace as we turned up on a Fri night at 9pm without a booking! He then gave us a great run down of all the dishes and recommendations. The food was so delicious and flavoursome and exceptional value for money. We would definitely go back when next in the area. 100% recommend.

I took our tasty food away but the restaurant is lovely! Perfect for casual dining, romantic meal or taking in the sights from the roof terrace in warmer weather. The range and quantity of food was amazing. Spiced just right. We will be back.

Excellent food and friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Head and shoulders above any other vegan or vegetarian place at which we have eaten. Sandeep’s food is delicious & nutritious and the whole team made us feel very welcome; so much so we are there on both our nights in Stroud. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty meal in Stroud, vegan or not.

Such a wonderful place to be . The decor , ambience , wonderful service from our waitress and the food is out of this world it’s soo good . My friend is vegan and I’m veggie and we both loved our food . Good selection of drinks I had a ginger beer . Compliments to the chef and everyone at Karibu in Stroud we loved it . Definitely make a visit and eat the wonderful food there 🧡

Absolutely gorgeous meal from Karibu this evening including curry, polenta chips and samosa chat. Real care put into the food and although we're not vegan , there was nothing missing from the meal. We'll definitely go back :)

Sandeep and his team gave us a warm welcome, even though we arrived shortly before afternoon closing. We had a delicious lunch, one of the best and most satisfying vegan meals we've had anywhere. This was a plant based burger, with lovely, crispy polenta fries....

Amazing dinner. Such a lovely place. The chap is so friendly and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely meal. Great place to eat quality food. Food was unbelievably tasty.

Had a magic bag from here and will definitely be returning for a full sit down meal! Service was super kind, friendly, and helpful! The food was amazing!! Super tasty and bursting with flavour!!

I had the nicest tasting food from here as a takeaway. And the best but is that it's all vegan. As a meat eater making the move to be more vegan, this restaurant just shows you that vegan can be tasty. I'll be coming back..

After a difficult day we found ourselves in Karibu for dinner. The food was delicious cooked with fresh and tasty ingredients and the propitiator was clearly a lovely soul passionate about his cooking and delivering a lovely service. He even sold me a carton of...

In the area for a few days and having found this place, I ate here every night. Exquisite food, fab people and lovely vibe. If I lived closer I'd dine here every night!

We booked in advance and we felt very welcome when we arrived. We ordered drinks first. I have the Pineapple Daquiri mocktail and my husband had local ale. We had the veggie samosas to share as an appetiser. They were beautifully presented and were served...

We sometimes forget about Karibu, but every time we go there, we wish we went more often! The service is good and the place is lovely - but the food is the real reason to come back here. If you're not a vegan and think...

The food is so tasty and delicious. We are not vegan but you have to try this place! 5 stars ⭐️ Best food in Stroud!

We were lucky enough to be staying just up the street from this restaurant and went in on a Saturday night with my teenage (vegetarian) son. It does have a small menu, but like that they aren’t trying to overextend themselves by offering too much....

Delicious food, excellent wine, and good service. The menu has a small selection but there is a nice variety and the dishes they do serve are of an exceptionally good quality. The vegan wine was excellent. The service was good, they were friendly, welcoming and...

My 2nd visit to Karibu restaurant in the same weekend! What more can I say....? In my opinion, it is one of best quality vegan food I have tasted. In my first visit, I had mexican nachos with beans which was bursting with flavours. The...

Well packaged stayed warm till home. Lovely flavours, textures and variety. Careful presentation adds to the experience.

We had a wonderful three course dinner on a Saturday night. The tastes were sublime. We had the sweet and sour tofu (spicy) polenta chips, curry, tofu main and plantain pudding. It was hard to choose as all the dishes sounded nice. Great to see...

We had a lovely meal from Karibu- the burger was really delicious with a tasty slaw. The curry and rice had so much flavour and felt healthy too, packed with vegetables. Thank-you to the friendly staff- we'll definitely return and recommend :)

We had a delicious meal here. I had the burger which was incredible and my husband had the tagine and samosas which he really enjoyed. The dessert was also amazing. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and our dog was made to feel very...

I thought the polenta chips would be hard to beat but the rice fritters with sweet chilli tofu were just divine. I thought my sweet chilli tofu was great but this is in another league! My niece had the tagine and koftas: the tagine was...

Had a lovely meal at this restaurant. The tagine was beautiful with so many lovely flavours. A great little find in Stroud. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely return

Amazing food. Samosa's were fantastic. Curry extremely tasty, and great Nachos. Particularly good Kenyan Dawa tea. Great value for money too.

Absolutely lush filling food with great service. Great polenta and sauces and veggie tagine. More words to finish review

Myself and my partner have just moved to Stroud and this is the first place we have had food from and we weren't disappointed in the slightest, lovely food and lovely staff, we will definitely be back!

Top notch food by any standard, forget that it's called 'vegan'. I've had a few takeaways and always been pleased- recommended.

Karibu's combination of flavours and ingredients are fantastic, fresh and flavoursome! We recently tried their new menu items as a takeaway and they were just wow, every meal was sublime. Looking forward to our next meal, will have to book to eat at the restaurant.

Extremely happy with the meal, haven't tasted a curry quite like it before, and looking forward to a different treat next time. Although it was takeaway, the staff were still very friendly too.

My wife and I only shifted to plant based food a year ago, so still very new to it all. But I have to say the curry we had here at Karibu is the finest curry we have ever had, anywhere, meat or plant based....

We wanted to try this highly rated vegan restaurant and were not disappointed. Sandeep and his staff made us feel extremely welcome. The dining room is bright and cheerful and the food exceptional. I had the curry which was the perfect blend of flavour and...

Quite a limited range of dishes on the menu, but our soup followed by gobi aloo and mung bean curry was outstanding. Other dishes served to diners looked lovely. Service was excellent. This from a meat eater.

Great and friendly service, delicious meal what a lucky find on a trip to Stroud mid between Xmas and New Year. The curry is highly recommended.

Lovely evening at Karibu. The food was beautiful, and tasted as good as it looked. Friendly atmosphere and great service too. We'll be back.

The food was delicious and really tasty, just lovely. I would highly recommend the curry. It was healthy and all made with thought.

We are new to the vegan lifestyle (2 months in) and were welcomed into Karibu. The food was brilliant and was really nice not to worry about what we could and couldn’t eat from the menu. The owner clearly very passionate about food and veganism....

We had a great evening to celebrate a birthday here, and everyone was amazed by the quality of the food. The owner was so welcoming and the atmostphere was relaxed, and despite being short staffed, the food and service were perfect! A reassuringly short menu,...

Want a gem of a place. Went for an evening meal & the food was fabulous. Fresh & tasty. Proper vegan food. The staff were brilliant, very friendly & attentive & our pudding was awesome, just wish I was local as I would eat there...

It's a little off the main shopping streets which is a shame as it's easy to miss. The restaurant owner could not have been nicer and the staff really went out of their way to make us comfortable. The service was quick and the food...

Really delicious food and delightful waiting staff. Wish we lived nearer so we could become regulars! Highly recommended.

We were really impressed with our meal here. The food was full of flavour and the menu had lots of fantastic options. The service was very friendly and attentive and we will definitely be back when next in Stroud.

Absolutely loved the food and service - really delicious, and excellent selection of drinks (local beer and good cocktails). Massively recommend, everything on the menu was delicious and I’d go back if back in Stroud. Service was also great - very personal and friendly.

Very yummy food! So flavourful and delicious. We collected a too good to go bag which was filled with goodies!

Absolutely delicious food. We visited on recommendation and we definitely weren’t disappointed. We will be back as the food was tasty and delicious. Totally recommend.

Collected two magic bags from them and both have been amazing value for the price, quick service and amazing staff! Will be coming back again!

Beautiful place, lovely staff, delicious small menu and a great selection of drinks. Couldn’t ask for more! Would definitely return and would recommend anybody to attend.

Ordered a Magic Bag from Too Good to Go last night and we were very impressed, the food was incredibly tasty and the portions very generous, knowing that everything on the menu is vegan is a real treat and we will definitely be back for...

The food here is amazing! The staff were all very friendly and Sandeep was great taking the time to talk to me about all the different dishes and flavour inspirations behind them. Was not disappointed and will definitely be back soon! Thank you again

Tried Karibu for the first time using a Magic Bag and were really impressed with the standard of the food. My husband thought the enchiladas were excellent and we would definitely go again as paying customers. However, it was too hot for me so hopefully...

We turned up having ordered a 'magic bag' via the Too Good To Go app. There had been a mix-up with the order, so the chef made us something fresh immediately at no extra cost. The food was exceptionally tasty - the best vegan food...

We were exploring the West Country and were looking for a vegan/veggie place to eat and were delighted with Karibu. From the exterior it's not much to look at but the welcome from staff as we headed up to the rooftop tables. We sat watching...

Thank you for a great meal. Really interesting vegan food, full of flavour and great combinations. Great addition to Stroud. Really welcoming and friendly. Far exceeds the monotony of the classic takeaways. **try the bisscoff dessert**

I am not a vegan but really wanted to give this place a go, all the food was delicious and will definitely be riding again!

I'm no vegan, but I was pleasantly surprised how tasty this was. A really good find, thoroughly recommended.

Delicious Valentine’s Day meal :-) 3 courses, all really tasty and full of flavour. The staff were super friendly when I went to pick it up and even gave me a free bag of popcorn! Can’t wait to eat at their restaurant when lockdown restrictions...

Just finished a delicious valentines meal with shared starter, 3 mains and a desert for 2 at a great price. The spicy cauliflower steak was yum as was the sweet potato burger and enchilada. Super friendly staff, great all round experience. Thank you Karibu!

Amazing food, great service and really helpful. We had the burgers and I would heartily recommend. 😋

It's not just the friendly staff and the eco plastic free packaging but the the burgers we had were so delicious and packed with taste. We will definitely be returning, sucha great find just down the road. Thank you for the NHS deal too ❤️🌈

Although we're not vegans, we've had a couple of lockdown takeaways from here in the last two months, and they've both been utterly delicious. The quality and balance of flavours in the dishes we had was just great, from the samosas to the sweet potato...

Wow! The best vegan food around. The enchiladas, Cajun sweet potato burger and biscoff cheesecake are out of this world. The staff are very friendly and takeaway is fast and efficient.

As meat eaters we wouldn't normally choose vegan food but this was really delicious. Really flavoursome, good textures and a great mix of food! I couldn't get enough of the Pau Bhaji sharing starter!! We will definitely be returning soon and hopefully be able to...

We had the cajun sweet potato burger and the enchilada. We were not disappointed! Enjoyed every single bite. On top of that we had the the biscoff cheesecake. By far the best cheesecake we've EVER tasted! Will definitely be eating from Karibu again. Thanks guys!

Great menu, and tasty food! So nice to have a vegan take out/restaurant locally. Especially recommend the Biscoff cheesecake- delish!

We love this restaurant. I’m a vegan but my husband isn’t and we both love their food. Beetroot burger and cassava chips is amazing, my husband goes for non-meat meatballs and the chocolate brownie. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Really hope it survives the...

Wow, what a treat, delicious food, variety ++, so tasty, go for the burger, enchiladas and the biscoff chesse cake, cooked with kindness and love, super service, well worth the 30 min drive, thank you so much Karibu, 10 out out 10. Xx

The food at Karibu is delicious and the staff is incredibly friendly, 100% recommend! The Biscoff cheesecake is to die for!

We had an amazing meal here... the food was so delicious... even the kids loved it!!! Sandeep is so friendly and helpful.. a real asset for Stroud! Will be back... a lot!

Had lunch with family. We all had the samosa chat followed by Biscoff Cheesecake. The friendly owner Sandeep kindly made us oatmilk chai especially. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend this lovely restaurant, only a shame we couldn't sit in due to covid lockdown #2. They had our order ready right on time, welcomed us warmly and all the food was fresh and wholesome. I had the Thai green curry and my husband...

What great food, we had the Samosa Chat as a shared starter, followed by the Thai curry and beetroot burger. The food was excellent and we managed to squeeze in Oreo brownies which were fab. Service was super and we felt very relaxed and safe....

Lovely fresh tasty vegan food. Perfect take away experience, will be back very soon. Samosas were tasty, crunchy but not greasy and we had both types of burgers which were a taste sensation!!!!! Lots of different flavours all working really well together.

Really fab restaurant for everyone. Great options on the menu from healthy to hearty. Also amazing puds. I had the enchiladas and they were so good I went back for more. Lovely people too.

A lot of love has gone into this place and it’s food. Focus is on quality and flavour, not huge portions, so don’t stint on the starters - the baji starter was perhaps the best bit of the meal. Give them a go!

My friends are mainly veggie/vegan (I’m not), I asked for a restaurant they recommended and Karibu was recommended. I’ve been to several restaurants around Stroud, this is genuinely a fantastic restaurant, it doesn’t need meat! I’m genuinely excited to visit again and try something else,...

We walked into Karibu on our way up to the pub and were so pleasantly surprised!!! The courtyard is a stunning little sun trap, with glorious views and cute decor. Food was outstanding and service was so friendly. Everyone needs to come here!!! Thanks karibu!

In Stroud for first time and came across Karibu. Delicious lunch, very friendly people. Highly recommended for tasty vegan food!

The food and drinks were incredible, the views are amazing and the customer service was 10 out of 10.

My partner and I discovered Karibu when staying for two nights in Stroud and went there both nights! The food was delicious and the service couldn't have been better. We dined out on the most beautiful veranda watching the sunset on the first night and...

Sat in for an absolutely delicious meal, came away extremely full and having experienced a remarkable range of flavours and textures. Kind and friendly service, and all felt very safe. Highly recommended.

I have visited Karibu twice in the last fortnight and not just because of the government offer! The first time I had the beetroot burger with cassava fries and last night, I tried the sweet potato burger with polenta fries, avocado and relish. My friend...

We got an assortment of dishes at Karibu as the menu was so inviting that we wanted to try it all and it did not disappoint! The flavour in each of the meals was outstanding and the service from the staff was very warm, helpful...
