About us
We are a vegetarian-vegan restaurant in West
Kensington, London. Our
food is 100% vegan. If you are a person who cares about your health
or if you
have particular dietary needs—this is a restaurant for you!
We offer customers a comfortable place to enjoy a lunchtime buffet
and an evening a la carte restaurant. Our customers’ health
and enjoyment of food is something we care about so we will always
go out of our way
to ensure that all of our food is of the highest possible quality.
We strongly believe that a vegan diet and lifestyle is the healthiest
option available and we will always strive to ensure that our food
and service
live up to this belief.
Above all, we realize that supporting a healthy lifestyle is not
only about healthy vegan food, but also about a “healthy” environment.
That is why we carefully select our cleaning detergents (even our
paint is environmentally friendly), use paper take-away boxes and
bags, and
recycle as much as possible.

History
222 Veggie Vegan opened it's doors in November 2004.
The company behind the restaurant was established in 2002 by three
friends,
all lifetime veterans
of vegetarian/vegan food and lifestyle. The vision was to provide great
tasting, health promoting food to the general public. For the first year
the enterprise focused on outside catering but then in late 2003 took
over a premises in North End Road, West Kensington and began the long
task of converting it into the vegetarian/vegan restaurant that was
envisioned
by the founders.
The restaurant is run by Ben Asamani, one of the founders, who is a highly
trained international chef of vegetarian and vegan food. Ben is a person
who rejects the notion that healthy food is rough and unattractive. Ben
is always willing to create dishes that stimulate your taste buds, giving
consideration to texture and appearance and to nutritional value -- a top
class chef with a God-given talent for cooking.

Very nice reader reviews at my

I have discovered 222 I go there frequently. I have actually abandoned
some of the other restaurants I used to go to, because I like their food much
better."
"Here it is all about great dishes, internationally inspired, with texture and
flavour."- a reader review on Veg

food but much tastier."
