Dear Nina,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind attention. We are pleased to inform you that Burrito is now featured on our daily special menu. If you have visited our outlet recently, you may have already noticed this addition.We greatly appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you soon.
Most of what you can order now has become quite small servings which unfortunately doesn’t mean great value.
After 25 years and no veggie burrito and only small menu items and getting smaller I have resigned to the fact the Veggie Bar has changed.
Time for me to say goodbye.

You can tell a lot of love and thought went into crafting this dish. It hit every note — comforting, satisfying, and totally addictive. If you’re a laksa lover (vegan or not), do yourself a favour and try this one. Hands down, the BEST vegan laksa I’ve had in Melbourne. 🌶️🍜💚
Can’t wait to come back! Thank you

Thank you for leaving a great review 🥰
Chef couldn’t get food out on time and messed orders up!
We spent over $250 and majority was left behind. .kids nuggets were just ballls of flour it seemed and were disgusting.
My mee goreng was oily and tasted NOTHING like it should have. Full of roasted potatoes and other weird textured food I barely touched it!
I wouldnt go back again ..
The only positive was the Vegan waiter serving us!
Smiley and excellent service
Thank you for leaving a great review 🥰
