UPDATE: apparently they were not allowed tables, so they now are a take-away only.

Well, it is not exactly a restaurant to start with but more of a take away with a few tables.

We decided to try something new and we found out that there is a vegetarian place (actually more than one, who knew!) in Harrow, in North London. The place we wanted to go to was closed and we went to Yummy V, a vegetarian Chinese take away, I think it’s actually vegan as it’s stated very clearly “no eggs – no onions – no garlic” and I couldn’t see any dairy on the menu (they don’t have desserts either).

This place specializes in fake meat and fish, and they do have all sorts.

We had noodles and rice with sweet and sour tofu, both were nice but the best of the surprises came after, when we got the house specialty: the “Yummy pumpkin”

The photo is not great but look at that!!! isn’t it cute? it’s a steamed bun in the shape of a pumpkin, with an asparagus stalk on the top… it was delicious, soft and sweet and well, tasted of pumpkin…!

We also had some steamed soft rice buns

these too were really good, and had a mushroom filling.

The place was small but very friendly, the chefs came out (looked like husband and wife team) and we got talking with the lady waiting, they are all vegetarian and Buddhists, that’s why the no-garlic-no egg policy.

The yummy pumpkin was a very happy find, and we will definitely go back!

There are no toilets.
