Super friendly, loads of choice - Edit
Dipped in last minute, just before they closed, on a rainy Sunday night and the staff were super friendly. Lovely and warm when cold outside, with some tables of friends chatting. Super vibe. Somewhere I’ll go back to for sure!

Good vegan savoury options desserts a bit of a miss - Edit
I have been to this place a few times as it’s close to my work, purely vegan and has good savoury options. Every so often I am tempted to try the various cakes as a treat but I am always left disappointed. I have tried lots of vegan desserts and cakes and always find the ones here dry/crumbly and leaving a bit of a ‘chalky’ texture in the mouth. I appreciate it is great that there is a local place that has vegan cakes but I don’t think the ones sold here are worth paying for and I personally do not think they promote vegan cakes as a viable option even for non-vegans.
Read morePros: Purely vegan - wraps are nice

Great food, busy place - Edit
Stopped here for coffee and cake one weekday afternoon and loved the look of it. Got seats ok (and pleased they have a loo) and a great selection of desserts and coffees. The savoury stuff looked good, too. My muffin was lovely and well sized so I had to take half away! Only downside was the place was rather noisy, maybe bad acoustics, so not the place to go for a quiet chat, but definitely worth a visit and I'd go back.
Read morePros: Great selection of savoury and sweet, Really tasty fresh food and drinks, Good value

Wanted to like it - Edit
We went as a group and had made a reservation as it was a special occasion.
Read moreA couple of hours before our reservation, I received an unexpected phone call asking us to come later than the agreed time which was difficult as small children were involved. When we arrived later, there was still no table available and no one greeted us on arrival or offered any explanation. Our group stood awkwardly (and embarrassingly) waiting for a group to finish and then for the table to be cleared. No apology was made. When we finally ordered, one member of our group asked for no “cheese” on the burger (for allergy reasons) and the waitress unfortunately brought it with “cheese”. This was flagged up and the waitress took the meal away and there was a delay, the rest of the group were nearing the end of their meal while this member was just starting. In addition, two of us had pizzas which had been overcooked / burnt particularly the bases and edges. Neither of us felt comfortable raising this to the waitress because we had already complained. Sadly, I do not think we will be returning as we really wanted it to be a success.

Well worth a visit! - Edit
Popped into Ahimsa The Vegan Cafe for lunch yesterday. Excellent selection of fresh salad components and wraps are made in front of you with whatever selection you like.
Read moreThey have chilli tofu, vegan quorn jerky and black bean as the main "hot" fillings and a whole variety of other stuff to go into the wrap, including humous, vegan cheese, vegan mayo etc.
Loads of vegan cakes too as well as other deserts.
Great to know everything is vegan and staff are helpful and polite. The cafe is quite small so I suspect during busy periods you may have trouble getting a seat. If this is the case, just get a takeaway and go sit in the park across the way (as long as the weather permits!).
We'll be visiting again very soon!
And they now have extended the menu and hours to cater for evening meals! Fabby!!

Friendly staff, excellent service, delicious food. Wraps and salad bowls made fresh to order, with a selection of tasty homemade desserts and snacks. I went for the Mediterranean super-food wrap, followed by a slice of carrot cake and a cup of coffee. Will definitely be returning to sample the rest of the menu!

Very good vegan cafe - Edit
We had lunch at Ahimsa after visiting the Heath Robinson Museum in Pinner. Both are worth a visit and the food at Ahimsa was excellent. It was busy but we didn't have to wait long for our meals. A good choice of main courses and desserts.

Delicious food, good prices - Edit
I ate a lemon cupcake on poppyseed muffin base and drank a freshly pressed vegetable juice. My partner ate a Carribean Jerk Vegan Quorn Wrap. All the things were delicious, the prices were good and staff was quite nice, too. The space is clean and airy.

Lovely! - Edit
I'm so glad to find there is a new vegan restaurant so close to where I live! The food is good, but there is room for improvement.
Read moreThe wraps were lovely. I would like to see them expand their repertoire to include some more exotic flavours that my non-vegan family members might find attractive too. Perhaps some curried potato / aloo saag / Bombay flavours.
It would also be great to see some vegan social events held at the cafe. Perhaps some music or poetry evenings. It would be great if this could become a vegan hub for likeminded people in the area!
When I went there, it was very busy. I hope the cafe continues to be a success and that they keep striving for progress so that I can carry on visiting it for years to come!
Pros: Finally - a vegan cafe in the area! , Everything is made with love , Friendly staff and lovely customer service
Cons: Some spicier / more exotic options would be great!, Would be nice to have some socials held there, Can get a little busy!
