Helsinki is full of great vegan buffets. But Banu is the best vegan buffet in Helsinki. The food is a little more varied than most and incredibly tasty. It is also great value. For €25, you get a lovely selection of buffet mains, glass of warm gloggi, beautiful salads, delicious dips, yummy cakes and a special warm drink of your choice. Thank you for a lovely visit.

As a vegan I would like more concistency on the namings of the dishes, we were told everything except for one dish on the brunch was vegan which was great but we didn't realize why some of the dishes said they were vegan and some didn't - did we maybe understand something wrong? Anyways just a tiny little thing - otherwise the food was amazing and handmade which we really appreciated, the brunch included a special coffee and was definitely the best value there is for a brunch, will come again! :)

We had a lovely Persian style vegan brunch on Saturday. The place itself was very cozy, not too big, but had a very nice atmosphere. The owners of the place/staff were very friendly and helpful. They explained well what is included to brunch and how does it work, such as mentioned that special coffees or teas are also included to the price. The food was delicious and its presentation was beautiful and very colorful. Maybe only name tags of different dished could have been placed a bit more accurately. Otherwise everything was just perfect and it was absolutely a great value for a money. We will definitely visit Banu Café again!

Only negative thing was that the place is quite small and it was packed full the whole time so it was a bit crowded and sometimes it was hard to hear the person next to me.

Lovely place! Food was really good and we experienced some delicious new flavours, however as we went for a brunch I felt like there could have been more breakfast-kind lighter options as well. It was more lunch style in my opinion. Very kind and attentive staff, but we had to wait a bit when we entered even though we had a reservation, staff was just too busy to welcome us. Price-quality ++, I would love to go again!

Ihanaa, maukasta ja monipuolista ruokaa! Henkilökunta todella mukava. Plussana se, että espressopohjainen kahvi kuului brunssin hintaan. Tila paikkana ahdas.

Banu cafe on muuttanut uusiin isompiin tiloihin. Vanha paikka oli paljon nykyistä viihtyisämpi ja tunnelmallisempi, ja kesällä oli ihana syödä terassilla merinäköalalla. Uusi tila on vilkkaan tien vieressä ja ratikan kova ääni kantautui koko ajan sisälle kun ovi oli auki. Lisäksi tilan akustiikka oli sellainen, että se oli meluisa ja vieressä olevien ihmisten puhe kuulosti lähinnä huudolta. Myös ruoka oli ennen parempaa, itsetehtyä. Nyt tarjolla oli paljon valmisruokaa, kuten nugetteja ja falafeliä.
