Iydea Vegetarian Kitchen

It's been my experience that when I find a really good restaurant/ cafe/ food truck, it almost always disappoints when I go back months/ years later. The food is never as nice, or the portions have shrunk, while the prices have gone up massively, which just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, regardless of how good the food tastes. I was VERY happy to find that apart from painting their shop front green, and having their interior refitted, this place hasn't changed at all. When we lived in Brighton, this was my wifes favourite lunch spot. Finding amazing food as a coeliac is like finding a politician with a soul. You've heard second-hand rumours that it exists, but have yet to see it yourself. Everything looks and tastes healthy, but not in a cardboardy way. Fresh salads, their staple arancini, various roastsd vegetable deliciousness, honestly their chef/ chefs are top notch. It's all brilliant. Disclaimer: this is not a paid review, nor have I received anything for writing it. I say this because it's very rare for me to be so glowing in my feedback.

had seen online they were serving several glutenfree option (I'm vegan and have coeliac disease so this was very exciting). When I arrived they told me they no longer do glutenfree bread etc because it's not profitable enough. The only glutenfree option for me was the granola, which they assured me was definitely vegan and glutenfree. After I had eaten a few mouth fulls I started to feel a bit sick so I approached them again to check if it really was glutenfree. They went to the back room to check the ingredients list and turns out there was actually some gluten in it!! Disgraceful! They should've checked in the first place and not assure me it was glutenfree if they didn't lnow for sure. Some people just don't understand what effect it has on people with food allergies. Anyone working in the food industry should know about this responsibility. Any way this ruined my day in Brighton as I felt very ill. I should've gotten a refund but I was so upset that I just left.
