Banu cafe and the brunch there is an excellent vegan option even for regular meat-eaters. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is cosy. I highly recommend

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 went for a Saturday brunch. The place is a small and cute, they have a buffet with Persian food, fruits, cakes and great coffee. It is run by the owners, who are very polite and friendly, and provide excellent service.
Thanks!

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!

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