Harden's survey result
Summary
This “fantastic” Earlsfield venture offers ‘vegan soul food’ that is both “incredible value” and full of “lovely, interesting flavours” (“would never even have known it was vegan!”). Founded by school friends Arvin Suntaramoorphy and Shyam Kotecha, it takes an ethical approach to business, allowing guests to pay less if they are unsatisfied, and feeding the penniless for free in return for a couple of hours’ labour. There’s a spinoff branch in Honor Oak Park.
Summary
“Vegan food that’s as good as can be” – from a selection of broadly Asian choices – inspires devotees of this ‘vegan soul food’ venture in Earlsfield (now with a spin-off in Honor Oak Park) from school friends Arvin Suntaramoorphy and Shyam Kotecha. “Being able to ask for additional dishes until satisfied means you never leave disappointed”. Guests are invited to BYO without charge, and to reduce the bill if they believe it is too high – while the truly hard-up can eat for free in return for a couple of hours’ work.
Summary
“Carefully prepared Indian-style vegan dishes” and “wonderfully friendly service” are behind the popularity of old school friends Arvin Suntaramoophy & Shyam Kotecha’s Earlsfield crowd-pleaser. And the “as-much-as-you-can-eat ethos” and BYOB policy means it is “incredibly well-priced”. Top Tip – if you’re really hard up, they’ll feed you in return for a couple of hours’ work.
Summary
“The atmosphere is basic (it’s not a date place) but there’s a reason devoted fans keep going back” to Arvin Suntaramoophy and Shyam Kotecha’s ‘little vegan soul-food lounge’ in Earlsfield: “delicious curries and fantastic, charming service make for a great meal out with friends or family”.
