I have been to other vegetarian restaurants where some of the courses are nice but one of the courses is lacking. In Riverside vegetaria, all courses are lovely. I will definitely come back. One of my favourites in London.

  • star rating  In these tough times for the restaurant trade, thank goodness gems like this survive: a veggie legend offering quirky charm and good value, not to mention unrivalled riverside dining, including... read more a minuscule towpath terrace (with welcoming water bowl for four-legged visitors).

    The menu suggests that a well-travelled, cosmopolitan and imaginative non-carnivore has entertained themselves by compiling a hit list of their favourite global ingredients and cooking styles, then mixed them all together as fancy dictates. Influences from Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico and most of all the Indian subcontinent, but with intriguing twists - stirfry fettuccine? Red lentil and avocado kedgeree? All veggie/vegan friendly, packed with flavour and with an excellent organic wine list to match.

    We’ll need 12 visits to try everything that tempted us but I’m afraid I’ll be boring where starters are concerned: I loved the Corn and Vegetable Cakes with Plum Sauce too much to go for anything else. Ingredients are locally-sourced and you can taste the freshness, and portions are generous. We couldn’t manage a pud though the choices were tempting; just settled for two excellent hot chocolates to ward off the April evening chill as the sun went down.

    Service is laidback to the point of horizontal, but with a twinkle in the eye and mordant humour that we appreciated as much as the good food. A delightful dining experience and we’ll be back soon.

  • star rating  Went here on the last day of eat out to help out as we’re spending the bank holiday Monday in Kingston. Everywhere was packed but managed to squeeze in here... read more and glad we did. Very reasonably priced and the food was tasty. Not a huge choice on the menu but what is there is good. I would recommend Masala Dosai and falafels with home made hummus are very good. Not entirely convinced social distancing is being fully carried out as felt a bit too busy in there. That would be my only gripe though.

    The restaurant has a a tiny frontage and you wind your way downstairs to the riverside room . Small and simple but beautiful in its own way . A few seats outside on the river front but the rest with a view .
    The food the food ! Stunning menu with something for everyone even a carnivore like me was seduced . Cannot praise it highly enough . Service was swift , unobtrusive and attentive. And they made a vegan birthday cake for my daughter .
    Loved it do go .

  • star rating  Super choice of tasty food. You can ask for the level of spicing you prefer. I love the green lentil and vegetable curry. The stuffed aubergine is awesome too.
