Very cosy - Edit
Staff was friendly and spoke some English.
Read moreThe ambience was very cosy, with comfortable chairs, a comforting scent throughout, and calming chants being played in the background.
Menu available on paper and digitally.
I had the coconut pancakes and a buckwheat tea.
The pancakes were alright, albeit a small portion size. The sauce was delicious.
The buckwheat tea was tasty.

Good choice, nice staff - Edit
Had a group all-vegan lunch there and liked it. Decided to return the next day myself for a quick bite before leaving to the airport but it was pretty full during the lunch time. The lunch specials were subpar, had to return it to the waiter (wasn't charged). Would return there again but with plenty of time on hand.

The most exquisite cafe - Edit
They can offer really good and unusual dishes. I was impressed!
Read moreBut the main pro of this place is its interior/atmosphere. While the other vegan cafes in Kyiv look like ordinary fastfoods/bakeries, the Imbir is probably the only cafe that can be considered as chic. So if you're about to have a semi-formal meeting or something else this place will fit nicely.
And taking this into account it's not a surprise that their pricing is a bit higher than average (ca. 120-150 UAH per dish).

Tasty - Edit
Good food and friendly service although a little slow. We did go at a busy time and a lot of business people seem to eat lunch there and get the daily set menu. We got the spring roll and quesadilla and two smoothies. The smoothies lacked a little flavour but still yummy. Could have been slightly bigger but everything was fresh and colourful and tasty.
Read morePros: Large menu, Lots of drinks options, Fresh
Cons: Service slightly slow but they did apologise., Slightly small portion size

a truly excellent restaurant - Edit
Very reasonable price for the quality of restaurant. Good service. Great lime cake. Smart enough for a business meal. Surprising large - guess about 60 seats on two levels. Only a few vegan options but clearly marked together with gluten free.
