Lu-Ma Cafe

So much choice of vegetarian and gluten free options. I’ve tried everything on the menu and all is delicious you would never believe it is also all healthy. I love the cakes, ever time I visit I get extra to takeaway for later.

I was in need of a good, healthy meal delivered to my door as I am down with a heavy cold. Deliveroo had this place as an option and it sounded great.
Healthy, home made food, decent pricing, I had to try it out!
The portions are quite generous and everything is super fresh and flavourful. I really enjoyed the meal.
As I only ordered out, I can’t say much about the location or staff, but the food quality definitely makes it worth a visit.

Upon hearing that this was a vegetarian/​vegan restaurant, I must confess that stereotypical (and frankly outdated) images of hemp seeds and incense sticks came to mind, which I am pleased to say could not be further from this small Wimbledon café’s vibe. The décor is light and airy, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere, and the location means it’s rarely all that busy, even though it does seem to be something of a favourite amongst the local yummy mummy community.
Pretty much everything on the menu sounded great, and in my visits so far I have sampled the cleansing brown rice bowl (a mix of sweet potato, spinach, avocado and other healthy ingredients which have the advantage of being delicious as opposed to just… healthy) and the bean burger which comes with sweet potato fries. The smoothies are also great and huge, justifying their £3.95 price tag.
Given the quality of the ingredients and substitution of processed ingredients for natural ones (all the desserts are sugar free for example), the prices are very reasonable and fair. For me, the fact that it’s a family business and is fighting the good fight against the onslaught of chains currently dominating the high street is the icing on the (gluten and sugar free) cake.
Thumbs up Lu-​Ma!
