Karibu Vegan Bar & Kitchen @ no23 Stroud — Restaurant in Stroud

My 2nd visit to Karibu restaurant in the same weekend! What more can I say....?

In my opinion, it is one of best quality vegan food I have tasted. In my first visit, I had mexican nachos with beans which was bursting with flavours. The second meal I had was sweet and sour tofu for starters and cripsy corn cakes with tofu, both of which tasted delicious. My visit couldn't go without a dessert so the 1st time round I ordered a uniquely tasting caramelised plantain with peanut and walnut brittle and icecream. The 2nd time i went for chocolate delight which was indeed delightful with quite a unique concept! Both of these were to die for!

I love cocktails!! So I couldn't resist trying a couple. I tried Sangria & Caipirao which is a Portuguese drink. A must try in my opinion! Both were refreshing and I sure was having a mellow buzz ☺ which was pleasant with a scenaric sunset view upstairs in the rooftop terrace.

Besides the good quality food, the staff are very welcoming - all smiles and the chef has attention to detail with his dishes, taste and flavours.

Definitely recommend it and am sure you...

I started with Vegtable samosa's. Followed by bean, couscous garlic bread for main. I had bottle green elderflower presse and a Pineapple mocktail.

Vegtable samosa's were tasty flavour improved further with the sauce accomanyment. The 'Lebanese ful and cucuous salad' balanced well together with bean and the couscous. The couscous dish blended fresh and raw ingridents well having the cooked beans and fresh cucumber and diced red onion in the couscous. Garlic bread was delicious, not knowing what to expect other than obviously not going to be a traditional Italian one. But worked well. It being a burger bun lid having spices on, including oregano (thyme, parsley). The pineapple mocktail was sweet, tropical and exquisite while the flavour being sophisticated. It was made fresh to order, Glad I tried the Pineapple mocktail as one of the highlights of the meal.

Overall very tasty. Would highly recommended and cone again. This time didn't starter Main, and full. So Maybe another time I'll try Main, dessert to try some of the...

A really great little restaurant in Stroud.

I found Karibu online whilst looking for vegan places in the Cotswolds and it was lovely.

The food was really delicious and is apparently a fusion of the owner's Kenyan heritage and his travels in South America and Asia.

We order half the menu and shared it. Massasan curry was creamy and delicious. Nachos with home cooked tortilla chips and smashed plantain, was really fresh. The mung bean curry makes mung bean taste great!

The chocolate delights are liked inverted Ferrero Roche on steroids.

It's got a home cooking feel in the best way, like every dish has soul and has been made with care.

Vegan or not it's really worth...
