Iydea Vegetarian Kitchen

I work in Brighton and Iydea is my favourite place to get lunch. As a vegetarian its so nice to be able to go in and order whatever i like without having to check for options. The food is really high quality and I like the concept of building your own meal (choosing 1 main, 2 sides and 2 toppings) their Enchilada is my all time favourite 😍 they also always pack the box full so you get good value for money and the food is always very fresh. The staff are really friendly too, I highly recommend!!

I had a vegan breakfast. It was cooked to perfection, and not bland at all. The sausages were homemade! The latte milk was perfect. The staff were also super friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed, comfortable and clean. They had all the fresh fruit and vegetables in containers on the wall for the smoothies and juices, with was a cute touch. We went back again in the afternoon, so we could try a smoothie! It was made all with fresh ingredients and was delicious. And the buffet food on offer was expansive, looked so tasty but we didn't try as we'd had lunch already. Although this place isn't fully vegan, I felt it deserved the 5 stars!!

Had a pop-corn latte made with winter melon and was blown away by the flavour and creativity of the menu of this place. The place had a very chill vegetarian atmosphere, and staff was super nice - can't wait to come back next time to try their lunch menu!

1st time visited this restaurant, for a quick coffee as have 20 mins before appointment. Staff were super nice, friendly and professional. Fresh homemade smoothie was very tasty and full of natural flavours. This place is super clean and tidy, and done up beautifully with lots of attention to details. A great experience with huge confidence in the management. They specialise in vegetarian food, i am not a vegetarian, but highly recommended.

Stopped by for a quick takeaway during lunch. As a vegan, I appreciated the clear labeling of plant-based options, definitely a plus. There was a decent variety to choose from. Service was fast and polite, and the food looked fresh, and thankfully, tasted just as good. The portion was generous, and the price felt very reasonable for the quality. Left with a great impression.

I’ve been coming to Iydea for 4-5 years now, and I’m yet to be let down! The coffee is delicious, better than some specialised coffee shops in Brighton (in my opinion). I can’t fault the food, either; perfectly seasoned and quite imaginative. I’ve tried so many foods from around the world that I’d have otherwise missed! The cooks here are the most consistent chefs I’ve seen in Brighton. I’ve also been seeing the same front of house staff for years now, and I think it says something about how well they must treat their colleagues to keep more or less the same team in such a high-turnover occupation and city. As for the atmosphere, I can’t fault that either! There’s a lovely, very Brighton style to the interior, I particularly like the beautifully executed seasonal window displays that I’ve drawn by hand. The tables are always clean, the floors are always swept, and the recesses always dusted. The people who work here care. Nothing is half-arsed! It’s a Mecca for good veggie food and good coffee. I’ll keep coming for the foreseeable!

Had a good time here and really enjoyed my lunch. The quality and quantity both were worth the price. I highly recommend this place if it’s your first time and looking out for some healthy options, I promise you won’t regret.

What a great vibe, such a good deal, too. 1 main, 2 sides, 2 toppings, just over £8 to takeaway. Their beer is nice too.
