Veganes Soja Softeis und geile Backwaren

Es gab heute Schoko-Erdbeer und es war sehr lecker! Gibt auch viele gefüllte Teigwaren wie Roti. Die waren wirklich wirklich lecker! Aber Vorsicht, scharf😉Einen mit Kokos gefüllten Pfannkuchen gibt es auch.

Good food

We had 2 soy rotti's, a soy chinese roll and a veg samosa. All had a good taste and a good fill for 2 people. Warmed up in the microwave before given to you.
Also tried their chocolate ice cream which was delicious!
Very popular place with the locals too.

Delicious food and ice cream!

Amazing place, 100% vegan food with lovely owner who's been running the place for 38 years!

We tried pretty much all the food. All good, but favourites were the soy rotti and the soy cutlet. Ice cream and a bit soyary but still delicious!!

It's all pretty cheap and fabulous to support the only vegan place in Kandy!

Tasty

Cool to get vegan ice cream - it is salty but still nice. Soy bun and samosa nice also. Inexpensive 🌟

Truly amazing

We loved the food!! The roti roll and samosa's are just the best. The flavours are super good with a bit of spice. The icecream is also good. Lot of locals.

Inexpensive soft serve

The two flavours when we went were chocolate and strawberry. Strawberry was the winner, by far. It was great to see so many nonvegan locals enjoying it! Our tuktuk driver said it's a popular spot.

Great ice cream!

Came here daily for an ice cream (300 Rs = $1). Very tasty, friendly staff, and has a seating area. The coconut pancake (100 Rs) was also good!

Salty!

The soya soft serve is strangely salty (especially the chocolate) but it’s still nice and refreshing. However I would not recommend the savoury food. We tried the soy roti and soy roll and they were both so so salty. The roll was actually inedible because of it, and I was hungry…

Great ice cream

Can only echo what others have said about the ice cream. Would be amazing if they turned it into a restaurant.

Nice! Pastries better than ice cream though

Nice selection of spicy pastries.
The ice cream was nice, but not wow. Also, the cone was not the best.

Pros: Pastries

Affordable local flavours

Very affordable food, since all items are small this gives the opportunity to try several items without over eating. Had the rotti roll which was a bit dry and the bun/burger which was tasty. Got some spicy chilli sauce to accompany both items.

Tasty icecream

Had the chocolate soy soft serve ice cream. Pretty tasty although not strongly chocolate/sweet. Looked like they have savoury food too though I got there at end of the day so none looked that fresh.

Nice

Strawberry and chocolate soft serve, it's nice though it has quite a strong soy after taste. Had several other savory items on the menu.

Pros: Good texture, Cheap

Cons: After taste

Great vegan shorties

Veggie place that’s been open over 30 years - it’s now fully vegan. Great casual vegan place with lots of yummy options. They have vegan street food style options called Shorties. Don’t miss this if you’re in Kandy. Great soy vegan ice cream.

Pros: Flavor, Friendly staff , Ice cream

nice for vegan snacks and ice cream

As the person there said, all they slicer is vegan! So we could change that place to a fully vegan restaurant (i’ll try).
The snacks are cheap and very good (fast food fried stuff, sandwiches, wraps with soya meat). I had an ice cream (didn’t get the fancy one from the pictures but it was still nice, as it’s vegan soft ice and i rarely see that anywhere else).

Pros: Snacks!, vegan soft ice cream

Fantastic soft serve

I only had the soy ice cream as I went late and most things were sold out but it was definitely a bang for my buck! No-nonsense store selling delicious soft serve for an extremely reasonable price. I would have gone again if I had more days in Kandy to try out their other items!

Lovely fastfood

Very good fastfood place with great soy ice cream. They understand the concept of veganism which is also very nice. Cheap and delicious.

Waren nachmittags dort und haben alles an Snacks probiert, was noch da war. War alles super. Danach noch ein Schoko-Eis, das etwas salzig, aber auch sehr lecker war. Draußen gibt es einige überdachte Sitzplätze ohne Tische.
