Lentil As Anything, St Kilda

What a lovely concept. Such lovely food, and lovely volunteers. Well done guys!! Pumpkin salad, japenese pancakes and the curry were my favourite!!! But the tofu burger looked incredible!! 😍

Tasty food, reasonable portions. Pay what you can for your meal. Always had veg / vegan options. Meals change but one option almost always centres around South Asian ("Indian") cuisine like a curry or dhal.

If you are in Melbourne you MUST try "Lentils"😍😍 it's such a unique experience with a rotating seasonal menu and you pay why you feel you can contribute. I had the "Oko" and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever tried. Cute setting in a great location, highly recommend!

Love the place as well as place. The food was quite good and healthy as well. The staff was trying to attend everyone with big smile on face. Do not visit this place if you are in hurry. The concept of paying as per your convenience is fabulous. The people should pay here instead of walking off after eating.

My favourite food place in St Kilda. Run by volunteers, Lentil As Anything is a non for profit vegetarian restaurant where you choose the amount you want to pay. Inside, around 40 people can sit with a couple more tables outside. Can highly recommend the lentil burger, the Japanese pancake dish and the curry dish. Do note thay it's get very busy and you might have to wait a bit before a table comes free.

Loved the concept and food delicacies. Appreciate the efforts of food makers who dwell into making so much food and serve everyone with same compassion yet do not expect any monetary benefits in return but what we can contribute in our wish! Kudos to the everyone from the staff to the owner. Hope we all can contribute more and get to eat amazing delicious food.

I love pancake 🥞 and vegan hamburger 🍔 with sweet chili sauce taste really yummy 😋 definitely will go back again soon.And hop I could find some day to be volunteer there

The okminyaki (Japanese pancakes) at Lentil As Anything triggered what has now become a deep and passionate obsession of mine!
When I lived in St Kilda I used to visit frequently and the food was spot on. It can get very busy - expect a wait, to be seated, and to be served - don't visit if you're in a rush. But totally worth it.
And pay it forward! :)

What a wonderful restaurant! I had the risotto and my fiancèe had the curry plate. We both loved our meal and the service was outstanding.
There is street parking as well as a small lot behind the restaurant.

5 stars for food, service and concept.. Meal payment is a contribution to overall well-being of the restaurant and people in need.. it’s truly a business that values social responsibility.. the menu is vegan, and simple :) you will simply enjoy the experience !

Loving their concept.
I never come to vegan restaurant before, so I dont expect much about their food. Surprisingly, it was delicious.

It's awesome please the food was yummy and the service was great. I will definitely come again. Cheers

Such an amazing establishment that has lasted through some crazy times; the first lentil from where it all began :) the story is a wicked one and nothing tells it better than the biography on the founder shanaka Fernando.

I implore you to read the book before you come and then appreciate it for what the place is

Food gets a 10 and the concept priceless

This pudding was amazing and delicious. And the LB burger was filling and amazing. The food came fast and service was great. Thank you for the awesome food and the Amazing experience.

Never had a better vegan burger!! The lentil patty was amazing. Such a nice restaurant with a fantastic concept

I love the cause behind how you pay for how much you believe your meal was worth. Don't get discouraged by the aesthetics of the food, it's delicious. Will be coming back :)

Food is very delicious, and you can pay up to your ability to help this store.

Love the concept of every helping hand count as an effort. Food is deliciously and nicely presented.
