Creative, Tasty Dessert - Edit
Hakuna Matata offers vegan Spanish staples and creative takes on international cuisine. We ordered the Asturian cachopo, carrilleras (Pork Cheek), The deconstructed Kinder Bueno, and the Chocolate Nonut Bomb. Although the savory food underwhelms, the dessert deserves recognition.
Read moreThe Asturian cachopo started wonderfully—it had a crispy exterior with a balance of tangy blue cheese and smoky ham inside. As I ate towards the center, the taste changed—it was strangely bitter and acidic. I almost had to stop eating it.The carrilleras (pork cheek) had a meatball texture with a profound red wine and beef taste. It was a serviceable plate—nothing special.
The desserts were different. The deconstructed Kinder Bueno was wonderful—A wafer straw filled with a hazelnut mouse and served with a chocolate ice cream scoop covered with a chocolate shell. Spooning any single element or any combination of elements was a fantastic treat. The Chocolate Nonut Bomb is a donut covered with chocolate served with mango ice cream. At the table, the waiter pours a coconut milk caramel on top. The donut reminded me of my home in Pennsylvania where German cuisine is popular: it’s soft and chewy, like a German Fasnacht.
Hakuna Matata takes chances with its expansive, creative menu; unfortunately, some offerings fall flat. Go for the dessert. They really have that figured out.

Tasty menu of veganised Spanish meals - Edit
We had the pastela which is a chicken parcel dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Not something we had heard of before but was really tasty. Also shared Patatas bravas (can’t go wrong) and calamari which came out hot and fresh. Friendly staff and nice restaurant. Would recommend

Real restaurant experience and great food - Edit
We came here twice and had a great time: the place is big and gives calm and cozy vibes. The menu is very big with Spanish dishes and everything is very tasty. The staff is professional. The white organic wine is very good. During Semana Santa, don't miss the torrija! The cheese plate is unique, especially if you are a cheese lover.
Read morePros: Big choice in the menu, with unique dishes, Organic wine, Relaxing environment
Cons: Call to reserve, as the website doesn't work , The patatas bravas are fried

Wouldn't serve me - Edit
Sign on the door says open and the hours say open until 5pm. People inside eating, but they wouldn't serve me when I showed up at 4:15pm after walking 35 minutes to get there. Don't go out of your way.

Sabores tradicionales veganizados - Edit
Buen ambiente y personal amable y atento. La carta consiste en platos tradicionalmente no veganos, sustituyendo el producto animal por sucedáneos veganos. Está todo riquísimo y permite saborear platos que no forman parte de mi comida del día a día. Muy buena presentación. Precios un poco altos por el tamaño de las raciones.

Great experience, great food - Edit
Everything was very tasty. We had the pastilla and it was gorgeous. Also the berenjenas were just as we had them in Andalucia. Desert was great. The food came quick (maybe a little too quick). Highly recommended.
Read moreSome people wrote in the reviews the portions were too small and the price too high. With both I don’t agree. The portions are normal. Prices too. We had dinner for €60 for two people.

Small portions, a bit pricey - Edit
Plenty of options but they don't change quite often. I ate beyond meat raviolis and my friend avocado tartar.
Read moreIf you compare it with so many excellent vegan places in Madrid, portion sizes are small here and it's a bit pricey for the quality. That's why I rated three stars.

Good food - Edit
A bit more upmarket than most vegan places in Madrid I went to but not fine dining. Had some good food - really liked the calamari and the croquettes. The Russian salad smelt quite eggy and the shrimps on top were very slimy but otherwise we liked it.

Don't pass on the desserts! - Edit
Its not a cheap place, potion is small, buuut, its all worse it! Very delicious, creative and refreshing!
Read moreWe had cheeseboard and salmon tapas for starters. 👍👍 My none vegan friends are surprised by the vegan parmesan and the vegan salmon.😆
For main dish we had seafood paella, and meatballs Tajine. The plantbased seafood has really interesting texture.
Dessert were the best value dishes, surprisingly. We ordered cheesecake, tiramisu, and carrot cake. Bigger portion compare to the dishes. And same level of craftsmanship.
I haven't had such a good vegan dining experience for longtime!

Una cena asombrosa y elegante - Edit
Todos los platos que comimos estaban exquisitos.
Read moreLa tabla de quesos veganos nos dejó flipando, tuvimos que preguntar a la camarera si nos habíamos metido en un lugar vegetariano por accidente (por suerte era 100% vegano).
El cachopo daba el pego totalmente. Yo nunca fui de comer ternera antes de dejar de comer carne, pero aún así puedo asegurar que estaba logradísimo. Incluso me dio un poco de grima.
