Why Travelers Love Mama Reykjavik
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The only restaurant we chose to visit more than once on our five day Reykjavik trip. Food is just outstanding and is probably the best vegan faire we've tasted for some time. Staff are so welcoming and accommodating too, and the restaurant has such a calming vibe to it. Prices for Reykjavik are reasonable and portion sizes are huge. Such a lucky find 🍀 The food was absolutely delicious, one of the best food places in all of Reykjavik. It's a little hidden away which, but I'm glad we found it. It's a little expensive, but it seems good for Reykjavik prices. highly recommended coming here for lunch or dinner. Yoda was a beautiful dog. The vegan food was amazingly tasty! The homemade juice was delicious, and the cacao drink SO yummy! The upstairs restaurant is very cozy, great vibe, healthy options that taste great and the wait staff are very kind and you know each dish is ordered with wellness in mind. A home run place to visit and eat, drink and be healthy!

Love the Staff! Genuine! Love the food! Full of flavor! Chili Sin Carne 10/10 - (spice level 7/10) Dhal a la Mama, not my favorite, a bit sweet for me, does have a flavor. I won’t rate, as i have my biased against sweeter hot meals. Drink Kambucha was okay, i am not a drink expert. I will be trying other dishes and drinks and update my review. I am here 3rd day in a row 🙂 Atmosphere is amazing, glass roof windows make it a unique experience!

Had a delicious curry and my non-vegan husband had a chili and we each got garlic naan. Both were very flavorful and filling. The cafe was cozy and charming. Great vegan options!
