Overcharged for undercooked food - Edit
One of the worst vegan restaurants I've been to. They told us it was fine to come at 8pm, when we arrived the chefs looked annoyed to see us as they clearly couldn't be bothered. The food was rushed, completely undercooked, the vegetables were raw and the cauliflower dish in particular was disgusting (mushy cauliflower with raw lentils in a watery mash of something unidentifiable and no taste at all - I don't even think they used salt). One of the worst dishes I've ever had. Small portions yet very expensive. The waitress tried to charge us for a drink we didn't have, as well as charging us for a more expensive wine as apparently they didn't have the one we ordered and she swapped it without asking us. One of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant for a long time - all with a hefty price tag! Really gutted as we wanted to treat ourselves to a nice meal.

Flavourful steak - Edit
Had the pepper steak with mashed potatoes and caramelised vegetables. My first experience with juicy marbles, it did not disappoint. The dish could have wanted for more potatoes

Haute Vegan Cuisine - Edit
Although expensive, it's definitely worth every cent. We went there for a tasting menu. 6 courses if I'm not mistaken. Everything was interesting and delicious. Very friendly staff too. I can't afford to go there often - but I know where I'm celebrating my next birthday. :)

Great steak! - Edit
Had a lovely meal here. Waiter was very friendly, steak was delicious. They’d run out of a lot of starters, but the ones that were left were still very good. Also had a great wine! Desserts were incredibly small though.

The best - Edit
We tried the 3-course lunch menu and then, also booked a table for dinner (6-course menu) the same day. The food is outstanding and worth every cent. Probably the best vegan food we ever had. 100% recommended

Cosy atmosphere and tasty food - Edit
We had the following items:
Read more1) Lunch menu (3 courses, 22€)
- Carrot & ginger soup
- Roasted cauliflower
- Meat ball & sweet potato mash
- Lemon cake with berry sauce
2) Carrot & ginger soup
3) Saraswati house curry
4) Mango lassi & Mango spinach smoothie
The soup was nice and very smooth, although the ginger taste was stronger than the carrot. I love ginger, but a better balance between the two flavours would have made it even better. (8/10)
The roasted cauliflower was accompanied by a parsley & pine nut pesto and a marinated cherry tomato. My wife loved this dish, and it was indeed very good. (9.5/10)
The (huge) meat ball was surprisingly good. That’s because it didn’t try to taste like meat. The chef obviously put in a lot of thought into making the taste of the meat ball stand out in the minimalist design of this dish. The sweet potato mash was smooth and creamy, but could have had a stronger sweet potato taste. (9/10)
The lemon pie was equally tasty. The berry sauce was strong and sweet, and complemented the pie very well. (9/10)
The Saraswati House Curry was copious and full of flavour. It came with basmati rice, avocado and a vegan yoghurt sauce (tzatziki?). My wife would have liked it a bit more spicy (personal preference). It surely filled us up! (9/10)
The mango lassi and mango spinach smoothie were both very nice: creamy, well-balanced tastes. (9.5/10)
There is a good reason why this restaurant has such good reviews. The food clearly shows the chef’s skill. The dishes excel in simplicity, diversity and taste.
Pros: Honest, flavourful dishes, Cosy atmosphere, Friendly waiter
Cons: None.

Excellent - Edit
A great fully vegan dinner in this beautiful city. A good range of delicious options. I went for a local dish of sarme which was delicious. The restaurant is in a bustling area but set a little back in a courtyard. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.

Amazing - Edit
The food served at Gaudi&Naan is superb. I had the Saraswati house curry which came with avocado, black basmati, raita and banana leaf. It was delicious. All wines are local and also delicious. The staff are very knowledgable of the food they are bringing you and of the wines also. I would highly recommend visiting Gaudi&Naan when in Ljubljana.

Very friendly staff and the food was really tasty. I had a grilled aubergine filled with mince and ‘mozzarella’ and it didn’t dissapoint. And not too expensive either, although it looks a bit more fancy.

Worth the cost - Edit
This place is pricey for Ljubljana (still cheap compared to the UK) but totally worth it! They offer traditional Slovenian dishes reimagined and veganised. Everything was fresh and delicious. Additionally, it is perfectly portioned and plated. Highly recommend reserving for dinner but you should be okay at lunch. It’s tucked away just off a Main Street so it’s not rammed with tourists nor is it crowded. Services was very helpful and explained the dishes, their origins and what to expect as you eat them. I also had a local white wine which was lovely.

Best dinner ever - Edit
We went there for dinner and had the 4 course tasting menu. Two starters, one main dish and dessert, we also had the wine pairing with it.
Read moreIt is hard to put into words how incredibly delicious and smartly combined everything was. All the ingredients fall into place perfectly and make for a perfect experience.
I know I must sound crazy but we both were full of awe and love. Best food we ever had, not joking.
Make a reservation, go there, love it.
Also be prepared to spend quite some money, this isn’t high class fine dining but a lot like it.
Pros: Best and most delicious food, Attentive and very nice staff, Perfect overall concept
Cons: Bit expensive but still worth every cent

Pricey but so, so nicey - Edit
It’s the kind of restaurant where the waiter knows a lot about wine and will explain the ingredients of all the dishes to you. Great service and the food tasted beautiful. They were full the first time we tried to visit so I would definitely recommend booking!
