NOTE : I am not a vegan. Yet I STILL come here frequently! Delicious food that is presented really well. Loction is super convenient, right outside Earls Court tube. It’s a must try.
I’m not vegan but Im definitely coming back for more. This has got to be the best thai food Ive ever had and I literally cant believe its vegan.. like the texture of the vegan meat is just insanely similar to meat and it amazes me. More than that their curry is to die for. Just get whatever on the menu if you’re confused on what to get cause you wont regret anything! I do highly recommend the steak panang curry. Served on top of a small candle to keep it warm its just something I wish I could eat forever... For the pretty presentation, the meat substitutes and the taste of the food this place is such a gem!!
We had an amazing time at Mali Vegan Thai, and loved the food, service and atmosphere. Have been several times and have never been disappointed. We adore it there!
This charming little Vegan Thai restaurant is a hidden gem, offering exquisite food and drinks. I highly recommend it to everyone, vegan or not, it's definitely worth a visit.
Top Thai restaurant with tasty authentic food and attentive service. Menu is all vegan and included milk tea (the boozy version was yummy too!). Booked in advance for the special menu Hot Pot, which was an amazing experience (see pics). 2 broths were given and a lot of vegetables, tofu, dumplings, sauces and 2 types of noodles. The crispy chive cakes as a starter were also delicious.
Probably been here like 5-6 times, never fail to amuse me how authentic, flavourful and unique the flavours are here. “Fish” in red curry sauce, the meaty tom yum soup are my absolute favorites. Portions for the main dishes are huge, we usually go for a curry, a soup, stir fry sharing for 2 and barely can finish.
Mali Thai Vegan is an absolute hidden gem! Whether you're vegan or not, the food here is so good it might just convert even the biggest meat-eaters. The flavours are bold, fresh, and authentic—every dish we tried was packed with spices and cooked to perfection. One of the standout dishes was the Kol Sai—an absolute must-try! The balance of flavours was just incredible, and you’d never guess it was fully plant-based. Another favourite was the Spicy Vegan Chicken Popcorn Salad—crispy, flavourful, and with just the right amount of heat. It's fresh, zesty, and totally addictive! The portion sizes are huge, so you definitely get great value for your money. Come hungry, because you won’t want to leave a single bite behind! The only slight miss for me was the Grilled Imaginary Calamari—it didn’t quite hit the mark in terms of texture and flavour. But honestly, with everything else being so perfect, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. The restaurant also has outdoor seating, which is perfect for a relaxed meal, and its dog-friendly outside, so you can bring your pup along while enjoying some delicious Thai food. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cosy yet vibrant. If you’re looking for seriously good vegan Thai food with generous portions, this is the place to go. Can’t wait to come back!
The food was lovely! The vegan variations of everything was very similar to their non-vegan counterparts. My partner (vegan) and I (not) were both able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. Only critic was that the dishes could've been a bit spicier but that might be just our high tolerances. We had: Sam Moo Tip Kua Prik; Kao Soi Nuea; Max Khai Muang Nueng Se-Ew; and I forgot the name of the mango ice cream dessert which could've had more sticky rice. For drinks we had the boozy milk tea which was nice. Service was very quick, we went early after opening and didn't have a reservation. Staff was lovely and everyone was friendly. 12.5% service charge. Atmosphere is lovely, even the bathroom was interesting. It definitely felt like you stepped into a little plot of Thailand in the middle of London. 9.5/10, it was amazing.
