57 vegan kitchens in East London.
Part of The Vegan Ledger, by neighbourhood. Every kitchen here gets the same three-voices check: what the business claims, what customers reveal in reviews — quoted, with receipts — and what only the owner can confirm.
How we verify
Every kitchen here is checked three ways: what the business claims in its own listing, what customers actually say in reviews (quoted, not paraphrased), and what only the owner can confirm — which we hold as an open question until they answer it themselves. We won’t list a “vegan” kitchen if reviews contradict the claim; that’s cost places their listing before.

Merkamo Ethiopian
A dedicated vegan Ethiopian kitchen in Old Spitalfields Market (4.8 from 284 reviews), loved for flavour-packed, healthy platters of lentils, okra and dumplings — portions generous enough that regulars call it the best-value healthy option in the market, worth the occasionally slow queue.
Merkamo Vegan
The all-vegan Ethiopian sister restaurant on Hanbury Street, serving injera platters, coconut dumplings and spiced tea that reviewers describe as 'presented as a work of art' — a cosy sit-down room (plus downstairs space) with warm service and prices consistently called great value.
