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.

VegetarianShinde's Pure Veg
Busy pure-veg Maharashtrian/pan-Indian restaurant on Green Street (sister branch in East Ham); praised for generous thalis, paneer bhurji and named-staff service, with recurring gripes about spice-level requests and temperature consistency.
VegetarianVijay's Chawalla
Green Street's pink-fronted vegetarian institution for Gujarati/Mumbai street food — bhel puri, chole bhature, pav bhaji and day-specials like halwa puri — family-friendly and calm, though dosa quality and the basic room divide opinion (3.8★ overall).
VegetarianMona Food Chaat House
Owner-run Gujarati chaat house on Green Street ('Mona aunty'), budget prices, open 8am–11pm daily; customers describe family-like warmth, samples offered before you buy, and standout bhel puri.
VegetarianRonak
Gujarati-Punjabi vegetarian stalwart on Romford Road trading since the mid-1970s; unpolished takeaway-style room but loved for huge cheap portions and deeply personal event catering (Nileshbhai).

VegetarianTaste of India Pure Vegetarian LTD
High-volume independent pure-veg restaurant on High Street North (3,800+ reviews) spanning South Indian, North Indian and Indo-Chinese, with tiffin and spice customisation; food consistently rated above the occasionally brusque counter service.
VegetarianShinde's Pure Veg East Ham
The East Ham branch of Shinde's Pure Veg, distinguished by authentic Mumbai street food — reviewers call the vada pav 'the real deal' — plus careful kids'-spice handling and group-friendly service from named staff.
Spitalfields & Brick Lane2 kitchens
Vegetarian1947 Restaurant, Bar & Pizza Kitchen
Intimate bi-level vegetarian/vegan Indian restaurant on Middlesex Street (with a pizza-and-pasta side menu) rated 4.7 across 2,870 reviews. Customers — vegans and non-vegans alike — single out its plant-based chicken tikka masala and warmly attentive, known-by-name hosts.
VeganPlantXology
Fully vegan North Indian street-food stall trading weekends in Brick Lane's Backyard Market, loved for dosas, vada pav, pani puri and inventive tofu and mock-meat dishes at market prices. The vendor's warm, explanatory style wins converts, though reliability of trading days is a flagged risk.
Upton Park & Plaistow1 kitchen
Walthamstow2 kitchens
VegetarianShri Lakshmi Foods
Family-run vegetarian Indian restaurant on Hoe Street, Walthamstow, best known for chaat and street-food starters like samosa chaat and bhel puri, with BYO alcohol; value opinions split sharply between 'absolute bargain' and 'small over-priced portions'.
Vegan-friendlyVegan Tiffin Walthamstow
Evening-only vegan Indian curry takeaway on Wood Street, Walthamstow, built around tofu-based 'vegan paneer' dishes. Reviews flag that it shares operations with the Tandoori Nights brand — including one order where real dairy paneer was sent — and a possible change of hands around 2025.
