A mindful restaurant - Edit
If you are in Hanover: Go there! They need the support. We were the only customers there for an hour. 💸
Read moreA nice restaurant that has a very human atmosphere. Not all these cold, capitalist restaurants. You can just make yourself a free cup of tea 🍵there, for example. The food is cheap, you should donate more because it was delicious.
And OMG the music: so soothing. I felt like I was in a Studio Ghibli movie.
I hope they don't go out of business 🙏
Pros: tasty and cheap food with the option to donate, the music there is so calming, Tea for free

All in all great place - Edit
In my opinion the food was a little better and more extraordinary before the reopening. But it's still delicious with really friendly staff and the seating arrangements outside in the courtyard are quite cozy.
Read moreWhile you still pay by donation the minimum price is now set at 7,50 Euro.
Minimum price is now €8,50 and there are two dishes that are not vegan!

Küche in buddhistischer Tradition - Edit
Hier hat man die Wahl zwischen Pho (vietnamesischer Suppe) und diversen Bowls. Wirklich lecker! Und gesund. Und manche Zutaten kommen aus dem eigenen Garten; betrieben wird das Ganze nämlich von buddhistischen weiblichen Mönchen.

Leckeres Essen - Edit
Ostasiatisches Essen. Das Essen hat mir wieder sehr geschmeckt. Portion hätte etwas mehr sein können. Nette Bedienung. Bezahlen, wieviel man möchte. Es gab verschiedene Tees und Säfte als Selbstbeteiligung.
Read morePros: 8 verschiedene Speisen (wechselnd), Bezahlen wieviel man möchte/kann.
Cons: Keine Nachspeisen, Portionen vielleicht nach Kundenwunsch

Nice lunch - Edit
Nice lunch. Very friendly.
Read moreDishes are simple. Could use some more spices/seasoning.
Setting is not so cosy. The interior feels a bit cold.

Sehr sehr lecker - Edit
Das Essen ist echt super lecker. Die Bedienung war sehr zurückhaltend, aber trotzdem freundlich. An das Spendenkonzept muss man sich erstmal gewöhnen, aber ist eine tolle Sache.

An institution in Hannover - Edit
Vegan village is refreshing concept between all the other for-profit 0815 restaurants with menues trying to offer everything, like Cafe Extrablatt or Bar Celona.
Read moreThe food we had was AMAZING, especially it's taste. It also featured Seitan which I have never eaten before. The workers were super friendly.
=> People would call it "odd". I call it a small piece of peace in the world.
Note: I was there June 9th 2020
Pros: Non-profit pricing, Taste
Cons: -

Solide Küche - Edit
Die Einrichtung ist nicht gerade sehr einladend, dafür ist der kleine Hof aber richtig gemütlich. Das Personal ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend, hat uns direkt Kerzen an den Tisch gebracht. Es gibt eine kleine Auswahl an Speisen, Flexibilität ist jedoch nicht gegeben (man konnte statt Reis keine Reisnudeln nehmen). Bei der Bezahlung haben wir uns an anderen Restaurants orientiert und 8-10€ pro Essen gegeben. Kann man mal machen, wenn man schnell was essen gehen möchte.

Kleine Auswahl, dafür aber umso besser - Edit
Es gab drei Gerichte zur Auswahl, die alle äußerst lecker waren. Daher fand ich die kleine Auswahl sehr angenehm, um lange Entscheidungen zu vermeiden. Zudem gibt es ein kleines Salatbuffet und eine Suppe. Wir kommen wieder! :)

welcoming and relaxing atmosphere! - Edit
i was late the day and in the need for a good meal/dinner..
Read moreand luckily i found the Vegan Village place here on Happy Cow!
at first it was a bit unusual place..
after some minutes i felt very welcomed and
the outdoor seating in there cozy garden is wonderful!
to me it had something very relaxing -
the eventful day just vanished..
i really enjoyed the time there!
i do not remember in detail what i had exactly -
some sort of Bowl😉- it was delicious - that for sure!
i definitely will visit theme again if i am in the city!
Pros: relaxing and cozy outdoor seating, super friendly & nice staff, great dishes

fantastic food & concept - Edit
loved the food here! my sister and i had korea-noodles with tofu & vegetables which looked, smelled and tasted amazing! my boyfriend had some fried rolls on a bed of noodles and it was super delicious!
Read moretaste was rich, even though no gmo (yes!). portions were huge!
the atmosphere was very welcoming and friendly - we were the only people on a sunday evening but it didn’t feel awkward because of how nice the people were!
pay as you like always puts me in a strange position, so we paid what a dish costs in similar asian restaurants in Hanover which is approximately 10 Euro including a drink. it’s a great concept if you’re in need of food but don’t have the money but i feel you shouldn’t take advantage of this great cause if you can actually afford it.
Buffet Tuesday - Friday during noon, a la carte at all evenings.
Pros: flavour, service & atmosphere, all vegan & great cause

CLOSED UNTIL 18.7.2019 - Edit
***Update 6.7.2019 ... closed until 18.7.2019 ***
Read moreVegan village is a simple yet friendly restaurant in the space formerly occupied by Hannover's "Loving Hut". It is run by vegan monks following spiritual leader and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh. They offer a buffet of 3-4 main dishes and soup, as well as fruit and a selection of tea and cool water either plain or aromatised with Asian syrups (e.g. Sarsaparilla, Rose water), and tea.
As the price for the food is a free donation, also less fortunate people can afford healthy and delicious vegan food.
Pros: Nice food, Support good causes

Budhist vegan dinner - Edit
Visiting vegan village was a special experience in Hannover as budhist monks prepare the food and run the restaurant.
Read moreThe interior was quite basic but the friendly service provided a welcoming athmosphere. We had 4 dinner options including noodles, soup, curry and wok. Additionally there was a buffet with flavoured waters, teas and fresh fruits. The food was clearly freshly made and taste was good but not exceptional.
The concept is great because you can donate according to your means and the project supports people in need and refugees.
Pros: supports good cause
Cons: cannot make reservations

What I was searching for - best place - Edit
We were there for lunch. There was a buffet with nice vegan Asian food and you were free to eat and drink what you like. I was searching for a restaurant which offers vegan and healthy food and there you can choose by yourself. Afterwards you can donate any amount to a bank account or donate directly to the volunteers. It's the best I have ever heard of.
Read morePros: Everything vegan, You can choose what you pay
Cons: Nothing
