staff value food desserts
Scores out of 5: Veggie friendly : 5/5; Value for money: 2/5, Quality of cooking : 3/5; Ambience : 5/5; Service: 4/5 ;Atmosphere: 4/5 Additional note: This restaurant was re-reviewed on 9th May 2010 .
It wouldn't surprise me if the models / film stars from the local Primrose Hill set thought this was a nice place to go to dinner with family or friends.
Our waitress is now at the next table holding forth on property prices in Primrose Hill.
The boyfriend and I order a vegetarian bangers & mash and a yam& corn fajita.
The sausages are fairly good and the mash is delicious, the onion rings are outstanding but the red onion and thyme jus that accompanies it tastes amazingly yuck !!!

Primrose Hill goes vegan – Manna restaurant review – What Alice ...
food menu staff desserts
Polenta tart, raw tacos and the enchilada lasagne, followed by their vice cream and cookie semi-fredo and cheesecake of the day (red berry cheesecake).
The tacos tasted anything but raw, with a very creamy cashew sour cream topping and slightly spicy filling of sunflower chorizo, guacamole and carrot salsa.
As advised by the waiter, we went for Manna’s infamous vice cream and cookie semi-fredo and a red berry cheesecake.
The cheesecake was surprisingly NOT raw, with a sweet crumbly base, lush cashew cream filling and a bitter berry sauce.
How could it not, with its layering up of chocolate, raspberry and vanilla vegan ice cream with soft and sweet cookie dough pieces, all drizzled with a red berry sauce.
#149 Lovely dinner in Primrose Hill: vegan resto Manna, London ...
food drinks
restaurant review #149 – Manna is a vegan restaurant in London and has recently celebrated it’s 50th anniversary!
After a steep walk uphill (in my case a roll, which went much better downhill than up 😉 ), we went for some drinks to a nearby pub, and then had dinner at Manna.
And nice to see veganised versions of traditional dishes like bangers and mash and nut roast (which I would have like to be more like a ‘roast’).
Manna is not really a big restaurant and the place soon filled up.

Regent’s Park Road suffers no shortage of dining options but Manna has been serving the health-conscious of Primrose Hill for almost 50 years, which inspires a certain confidence.
Desserts – variously raw, gluten-free and vegan – include a ‘cake of the day’ from Manna’s organic bakery (think rich sugar-free fruit cake, or spiced carrot cake stuffed with pineapple and walnuts), along with ice-creams and tarts.
Service from polite, though occasionally distracted, staff was adequate but we came away thinking that, with prices not cheap and competition so fierce, it might be time for Manna to up its game.
