Reviews


Presently you have access to 21823 ratings from 16 website(s). The median rating for Food for Friends is 4.3, signifying that guests have a very high opinion of this restaurant. Food for Friends, once a mekka for innovative vegan cuisine, has unfortunately experienced a decline in quality. The menu now seems to cater more to meat eaters than to vegans, with an overreliance on deep-fried dishes and excessive use of chili. The service has also received criticism, with reports of rude and inattentive staff. Despite these drawbacks, some diners still enjoyed the food and ambiance, praising the friendly service and beautifully presented dishes. Overall, while not quite living up to its former glory, Food for Friends still has potential to improve and regain its loyal following.

I do not understand why the food quality has gone down?? Maybe it's the pandemic but something is missing. I mostly wait to go to the breakfast.

A great vegetarian restaurant-much improved compared to 10 years ago. But, it's not near Croydon!

There's middle-aged people who feel uncomfortable as they serve the right, only the rich.
