Comptoir V

While it takes some time for the general public to adopt vegan food, vegan food that attempts to resemble animal products is a whole different kettle of fish. With future locations planned for Portobello Road and Fulham, Comptoir V makes it seem simple with its menu, which balances Middle Eastern influences with innovative recipes. It is conveniently located near Kensal Rise station. Sa'eed Kazmi, the restaurant's proprietor, frequently changes locations, but if you can't catch him at the register, the friendly waitstaff is more than familiar with the menu. There are many gluten-free options available as well as vegan lagers and tropical drinks that will be popular in the summer when the outdoor seating is at its best.

A unique starter consisting of potato starch, pea protein, and chickpea flour was the boat of dynamite shrimp. Although the ingredient list isn't particularly glamorous, the texture of the meaty curls with sesame tops is shockingly shrimp-like, and you'll want to lick the sriracha and agave sauce off your fingers when it arrives. The "hummus beiruty", the Marmite of herbs, is created with a lot of coriander and pairs well with falafel. There is no need for additional fries with the main course because the Kofta "meatballs" are served to steam in a traditional clay tagine. The "jerk" burger and battered mushroom "ribs" are served with garlicky greens and a decadent barbecue sauce.
