Alkalise your body and improve your health …
I’ve wanted to eat here since I moved north in November and it’ll be the first of many visits from now on.
Our first time here with a table for 5 and all sharing meant we tasted a big section of the menu (see images of the menu). Each of the portions was very generous to say the least. What amazed us all we’re the complex flavour combinations. They were slightly weird on some but they all worked and very well too.
Alkaline Nachos £10.95 - Nachos with marinated baked quinoa, topped with refried beans, cashew sour cream, guacamole, pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage. All with a smoked cashew cheese drizzle over. They were indulgent, sweeter than I’ve had before and had tangy twist too.
BBQ Tacos £9.50 - Shredded carrot in an alkaline BBQ sauce in a crispy corn shell, filled with refried beans and guacamole. Topped with pineapple salsa and pickled red cabbage, served with a side salad. Best BBQ tacos in the north so far.
Thai Buddy Bowl £10.95 - Orange teriyaki chickpea tofu surrounded by, pineapple 'fried' quinoa, purple coleslaw, a thai side salad, with an almond and ginger dressing and quinoa falafels topped with mango chutney. Crazy flavours that worked really well. This was my favourite dish and I could eat this most days of the week. I’ll be back for this dish on its own.
Thai Wrap £9.95 - Quinoa and peanut butter falafels in a soft wrap with mango chutney, coleslaw and kimchi served with a thai side salad, with an almond and ginger dressing and pineapple quinoa. A mental combination of ingredients for a falafel but was amazing. Again, sweeter than I’d have imagined.
Pink Pitaya Acai Bowl - £5.50 - A fruity smoothie bowl topped with raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, banana kiwi and coconut (we held the seeds). What an amazing breakfast. A real power breakfast too.
Immunity Boost Juice £4.00 (x2) - Strawberry, pear, apple and lemon juice. Refreshing and moreish.
Tropical Sunrise Smoothie £4.50 - Papaya, mango, orange, banana, coconut, maple and cashew smoothie. It was as nice as you’d expect and none of the fruits lost their identity due to the power of another.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie £4.50 - Strawberries, banana, peanut butter, maple and lemon smoothie. Another one that doesn’t quite sound right but really does. The peanut butter was not overpowering and provided a nice earthy grainy taste and texture, lifted by the sweetness of the fruit.
A great experience and worth the wait.
Would I recommend - Yes - I’d insist you go for the flavours and filling plates alone.
Will I return. We’ll be back again soon. Need to finish that menu.
Alkaline kitchen - What’s in a name? Your metabolism — the conversion of food into energy — is sometimes compared to fire. When things burn, an ash residue is left behind. Similarly, the foods you eat leave an “ash” residue known as metabolic waste. This metabolic waste can be alkaline, neutral, or acidic. So, if you eat foods that leave acidic ash, it makes your blood more acidic. If you eat foods that leave alkaline ash, it makes your blood more alkaline.
Acidic: meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, grains, alcohol. Neutral: natural fats, starches, and sugars. Alkaline: fruits, nuts, legumes, and vegetables.
Acidic ash is thought to make you vulnerable to illness and disease, whereas alkaline ash is considered protective. By choosing “Alkaline Kitchen” and an alkaline diet you should be able to “alkalize” your body and improve...
Read morehis place is amazing!! I loved everything about it, cruelty free food at a very high standard.
We plan all our holidays and trips around good vegan food and have eaten in some incredible restaurants around the world - this place is up there with the best of them. Delicious flavours, really well presented, with a well thought out variety of colours, textures and nutrients in each dish. The meals are filling and good sized portions and reasonably priced. We got the omelette, tacos and mini quiches.
The cafe has a really cool vibe and decor and the staff were so lovely and helpful. It’s so hard to find ‘good’ vegan food in the UK that isn’t just fried junk food; so I am soooo excited to finally know of a vegan restaurant in the North East which ticks all the boxes at such a high standard.
We would highly recommend this place to non vegans too- the dishes speak for themselves. I love there motto “Keep...
Read morethe food has literally changed my life!!!! I have so many issues with digestion and gluten intolerance it's so hard to find anything I can eat - and then anything I can eat that's actually nice and not ultra processed/unhealthy!
I'm full all of the time don't wanna snack, energy! My digestive system is working again! My sleep quality has improved so much it's amazing. It just goes to show you are what you eat 😍
I have eaten in the restaurant several times and always absolutely loved it my favourite dish being the coconut and mango curry! I've since moved away and I use the meal prep service for my meals every day. I now look forward to eating food again without worrying I'll be poorly.
Thank you Luke and everyone at Alkaline kitchen for healing me and allowing me to enjoy...
