Eat of Eden (Brixton branch)

Absolutely delicious vegan food! Caribbean platters per person and so much variety that is all so tasty! Great value for food as well and service was quick with a smile! Sat outside on the benches next to ordering.

One of the best lunches (maybe meals) I've had in Brixton (maybe London). Huge flavors, very filling, and vegan. Try the Mac Pie, it's delicious.

Food is really delicious overall. I got the Eden platter which lets you choose seven items. I got: 1. Chickpea curry 2. Seaweed fritter 3. Stew peas 4. Callaloo 5. Macaroni pie 6. Wheat meat 7. Pumpkin and sweet potato curry I also got a side of dumplings and a callaloo patty. I absolutely love love love the callaloo patty, dumplings, seaweed fritters and macaroni pie. The patty was so flaky. The dumplings were great for mopping up the sauce from the curries. I had read some review that said that their dumplings were hard and when I got mine I thought it would be hard but it definitely wasn’t at all. It was wonderfully soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Same with the seaweed fritter - delightfully crunchy and fried with quite a bit of peppers and seaweed in it. (Would’ve liked to get two fritters instead of just one though in the platter since it seemed a bit skimpy to just get one.) The macaroni pie was super “cheesy” and creamy. Wish it was a bigger serving too! The stew peas and chickpea curry are also quite good - good flavor and not spicy - although wish the stew peas had some more dumplings in it since it was mostly beans. If you like bbq sauce, definitely recommend the wheat meat. (I thought it was a little too much bbq sauce on them but the texture of the wheat meat was very good.) Didn’t care for the sweet potato and pumpkin curry as much because it was a little too sweet for me. I think some more spice would make the sweet potato and pumpkin curry better. The callaloo was a little salty to me so I preferred it in the patty than on its own. I was given a really large portion of the callaloo compared to the other things I chose for my platter and would’ve liked a more equal ratio since it was a little overwhelming to have so much callaloo. The service was pretty good. The two people there were so nice and friendly. They did forget to give me my seaweed fritter but when I asked about it they apologized and brought it out to me. They also were very nice when I asked for some tap water and asked for refills - didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at all to ask about it. It’s a shame that Britton doesn’t have indoor seating right now since it would’ve made the experience nicer compared to sitting outside since it was a bit cold when I went. Also, I wish the food didn’t come in takeout boxes since a nicer presentation would be preferable considering the price. Several of the items were placed in one box so they got mixed in together. I would’ve liked to be able to try each one individually to compare. Overall though I definitely really liked the food here. They are quite generous with their portions so definitely come super hungry if you want to try everything!

Lovely meal, pricing was also good value for money. We got the platter for 2 for (6 dishes each) £35 and we couldn't finish it although we tried as it was soo nice lol, we took the rest home and had the rest for lunch over the following two days.

I went for dinner to Eat of Eden (Brixton). As they describe it, their menu is inspired by Caribbean Ital and European recipes. They're famous for their platters, which can be ordered to share, but they also serve curries, vegan burgers, desserts and more. Very pleasant to find out that their menu is fully vegan. More choices! Their branch in Brixton is quite small, with a seating area outside but covered and with a halogen heater. It's more like a grab to go food, but if it's quiet you may find a seat, since people eat and go quite quickly. I had the mini platter, which has 5 items to choose and it's enough food for one. The items I chose were macaroni pie (my absolute favourite!), mushrooms, fritter, chickpea curry and black rice. They also gave me a dumpling for free, which was nice and greasy. What I love about this place is how fresh the food feels, like if your grandma had made it, but with the Caribbean twist of unusual ingredients (ackee, black rice or plantain) and flavours. The prices are also very reasonable, so that's a plus. I'd love it if they had more space or more seating indoors to have a nice meal instead of eat and go. I suppose I need to check their other branches but this is the closest to me! Eat of Eden, a Caribbean vegan flare that will surprise you with unique flavours and a very homemade feel. I would definitely go back!

Platter for one (it's enough for two): Lovely little place and nice feel good food. I have to be honest though, the food in the Lewisham branch was a lot better, despite being the same dish. Obviously a different cook, but same chain. Today was my first visit to the Brixton restaurant. Customer service has been great in both locations, packaging good, but I miss eating on a plate, especially when you order the platter. EOE in Brixton have an outdoor seating area which is nice. The ackee was too mushy, the lentil stew was a bit dry, the mushrooms was ok, the macaroni pie was ok but a bit dry and not a lot of flavor, the plantain meh, chickpea curry ok. The pumpkin and sweet potato was nice. Overall the flavours were ok, it just tasted a bit like yesterday's food. I'll definitely come back though. I think that this might have been a one off, because I had the same platter at Eat of Eden in Lewisham and it was 🔥 - 1 bottle of water - Macaroni pie 6/10 - Lentils stew 5/10 - Mushrooms 6/10 - Chickpea curry 6/10 - Pumpkin & Sweet potato 8/10 - Plantain 5/10 - Ackee & sweet peppers 2/10 = £22.45

Amazing all around. I've had their juice and patties and they are great. The staff is also really friendly and kind. I've since been back for a full meal and it has only made my love this place even more.

Despite not having some things available, the food is some of the best I've ever tasted! So delicious and all vegan
