Karibu Vegan Bar & Kitchen @ No23 Stroud

We were totally blown away by the unique fusion flavours served up at Karibu. Owner and chef Sandeep is a master of craft and everything we ordered was spectacular, and made for. highly memorable meal. From the freshness of the ingredients used to the careful presentation, we loved every bite! Highly recommended - not just to vegans or vegetarians but anyone who enjoys high quality flavourful cuisine! Almost everything happened to be gluten free too, but naturally so - a delight for celiacs for sure.

Went with fellow Vegan Runners. The food is absolutely out of this world. I ordered 3 small plates as I wanted to try lots of it. It was a great choice as they sized up as 1 main for the same price. The fritters were my favourite by far.

I really loved my first Karibu experience and will be back! The food was all very tasty and had that home-cooked quality about it; obviously lovingly prepared by Sandeep and co. Lots of colour and different tastes going on, with interesting and unusual ingredients and flavours – exactly how I like it. Really loved the polenta chips and unusual additions like cassava. Next time I'm excited to try the cauliflower sweet and sour starter and Kenyan dawa tea!

Delicious meal in Stroud at this gem. We booked to go to a gig at the Sub rooms which are minutes away and was so impressed by the food. We shared all the small plates between two (as we couldn’t decide) and it was the perfect amount. The staff were doing a great job even though they were busy - friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go back.

Friendly staff, seating indoors across two levels, and outdoor seating on a roof terrace which gets lots of sun. Food is all vegan and delicious.

Restaurant with roof terrace offering small and large plates, a few desserts and wide choice of drinks. Unfortunately opening hours were wrong so I didn’t have time to sit in and eat. A shame as it has a nice vibe and the staff were really welcoming and chatty. The nachos & beans had a good kick without being too hot, I’ve not had creamed corn before and enjoyed it. I wasn’t a big fan of the polenta chips personally. I look forward to eating in next time and sampling one of their curries. Dog friendly. Car park located nearby, I think it was free after 5pm.

Had a delicious impromptu meal at Karibu - such fresh ingredients and brilliant flavours, great portion sizes too. So pleased to have a vegan restaurant in our locality, would highly recommend it if you haven't already been. Friendly welcome and attentive staff too. We'll be back.

We had planned to have pizza in the pub, but they had run out so we ended up here due to limited options. What a find! Amazing! We are not vegetarian or vegan but the thai massamum was amazing! Beautifully presented, clearly made with love, it tasted great. We loved it. The staff were really good, friendly and welcoming and it was very comfortable and cosy. We will go back and we definitely recommend it.
