Comida típica española - Edit
Restaurante con bastante variedad de platos, de entre los que destacan versiones veganas de comida típica española. Estaba todo muy rico, es guay que haya sitios así donde preparen recetas tradicionales veganizadas. Además, también tienen otras opciones como ensaladas o hamburguesas. Recomendable 👍.

With love and passion - Edit
Incredible food with perfect soundtrack. The music playing as we are included CCR, Jefferson Airplane, The Cure, Iggy Pop and many others that I personally felt were ideal selections. Usually restaurants feature a soundtrack of truly awful music. Which comes across as a method of making customers hurry their meals. This place though, felt like a welcoming hug in a sea of harsh discomfort. The food is so good, I'd eat it every week. Plant based versions of local cuisine. Do not miss the opportunity to sample this menu.

Espectacular platos tradicionales veganos - Edit
Me encantó poder probar platos tradicionales españoles veganos! Probamos las croquetas y sobre todo los chopitos (puntillitas) fue lo más sorprendente! El sabor es increíblemente parecido. Los huevos rotos con jamón no defraudaron, viene con la yema aparte y lo disfrutamos mucho.
Read moreEl sitio es muy acogedor y el personal muy agradable y atento.
Tienen una amplísima variedad por lo que cuesta mucho decidir!
Pros: Variedad, Originalidad, Sabor

Platos tradicionales (y no tanto) sin animales - Edit
Aquí se puede comer o cenar algo suave, o algo no tan suave (como callos a la madrileña, versión vegana). La comida es espectacular y la decoración del sitio es muy bonita y sin pretensiones.

Good not great - Edit
Ordered the Caesar salad and the tajin. Both were good but not amazing. Service and atmosphere were nice, so I would come back and try something else - lots of good looking things on the menu!

Bastante rico pero caro - Edit
Tienen platos tradicionales españoles veganos como guisos, fideuá y paella y también versiones veganas de platos un poco más complejos de veganizar, yo pedí los" huevos" rotos con "jamón" y estaban bastante buenos, aunque quizá demasiada sal negra para mi gusto. La fideuá estaba increíble. El precio es tirando a caro, pero para ir alguna vez merece la pena. Las bebidas son bastante caras eso sí, aunque tienes un dispensador de agua del grifo dentro.

Great restaurant - Edit
I had gone there for the first time to order a Christmas menu for my sister and I many years ago, and the food was delicious. Went back today with a non-vegan friend who loved it and the quality of the food is still the same! Their vegan ensaladilla is a must!!

Great food and excellent service - Edit
We are revisiting Madrid and just had to do a return visit to Hakuna Matata. We were remembered from 12 months ago! Had an amazing meal and would highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food, calm environment - Edit
Went here with my husband and in-laws, all vegan and my in-laws eat very clean at home (almost never eat at a restaurant). We all enjoyed separate dishes and a couple appetizers/salads and everyone was satisfied and thought the food was well-prepared and seasoned. The eggplant and hummus appetizer is a must-try, they do it just right. Even though the desserts looked delicious, we didn’t have any—we will go back to try them another time.

Good food, lovely service - Edit
I had the Ensalada Griego, Rioja, and an espresso. It all came super quickly with some fantastic olives. The waiter was friendly and spoke English perfectly. It’s a really cute restaurant.

okay paella - Edit
many typical options that i wished i tried but were out of my budget. just had the paella, it was just 1x and left me a bit hungry, because it was just rice and some mock calamares, and a bit of zucchini i guess? i wished it had some more veggies and more substance in general. was a lil underwhelming

Creative, Tasty Dessert - Edit
Hakuna Matata offers vegan Spanish staples and creative takes on international cuisine. We ordered the Asturian cachopo, carrilleras (Pork Cheek), The deconstructed Kinder Bueno, and the Chocolate Nonut Bomb. Although the savory food underwhelms, the dessert deserves recognition.
Read moreThe Asturian cachopo started wonderfully—it had a crispy exterior with a balance of tangy blue cheese and smoky ham inside. As I ate towards the center, the taste changed—it was strangely bitter and acidic. I almost had to stop eating it.The carrilleras (pork cheek) had a meatball texture with a profound red wine and beef taste. It was a serviceable plate—nothing special.
The desserts were different. The deconstructed Kinder Bueno was wonderful—A wafer straw filled with a hazelnut mouse and served with a chocolate ice cream scoop covered with a chocolate shell. Spooning any single element or any combination of elements was a fantastic treat. The Chocolate Nonut Bomb is a donut covered with chocolate served with mango ice cream. At the table, the waiter pours a coconut milk caramel on top. The donut reminded me of my home in Pennsylvania where German cuisine is popular: it’s soft and chewy, like a German Fasnacht.
Hakuna Matata takes chances with its expansive, creative menu; unfortunately, some offerings fall flat. Go for the dessert. They really have that figured out.

We had the pastela which is a chicken parcel dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Not something we had heard of before but was really tasty. Also shared Patatas bravas (can’t go wrong) and calamari which came out hot and fresh. Friendly staff and nice restaurant. Would recommend

Real restaurant experience and great food - Edit
We came here twice and had a great time: the place is big and gives calm and cozy vibes. The menu is very big with Spanish dishes and everything is very tasty. The staff is professional. The white organic wine is very good. During Semana Santa, don't miss the torrija! The cheese plate is unique, especially if you are a cheese lover.
Read morePros: Big choice in the menu, with unique dishes, Organic wine, Relaxing environment
Cons: Call to reserve, as the website doesn't work , The patatas bravas are fried

Sign on the door says open and the hours say open until 5pm. People inside eating, but they wouldn't serve me when I showed up at 4:15pm after walking 35 minutes to get there. Don't go out of your way.

Sabores tradicionales veganizados - Edit
Buen ambiente y personal amable y atento. La carta consiste en platos tradicionalmente no veganos, sustituyendo el producto animal por sucedáneos veganos. Está todo riquísimo y permite saborear platos que no forman parte de mi comida del día a día. Muy buena presentación. Precios un poco altos por el tamaño de las raciones.
