Vegerama, Brisbane

I stopped in here yesterday to pick up some healthy goodies for lunch. I actually didn't realise that most of the food they serve is vegan (not that it would have deterred me).

I was served by Stacie who is a ray of sunshine. She knows every single product and didn't mind repeating herself when I asked again so I could decide which salads to choose. Stacie was smiling and cheerful and very helpful.

The salads were all incredibly fresh and delicious. I also bought a Kofta (silverbeet, potato and onion done in a chick pea batter and fried) and it was so amazing I went back and bought three more for later in the day!!

I also bought a ginger, mint and lemon juice which was refreshing and zingy.

The price for a LARGE salad (you can have 1, 2 or 3 types), 1 kofta and the juice was just $11.50. The 3 koftas later were $5. Prices are excellent, the shop looks very clean and well organised and I intend to go back whenever I'm in the City.

I've been a big fan of this place for a long time. Located in the Myer Centre, it isn't the best show location for the crowd that it attracts, which means that service isn't always in the most efficient manner possible. Different servers have different portion size ideas too, so that's a little hit and miss. Having said that, the food quality is amazing. There are made to order items from the menu board but honestly, I usually stick to what is out on display and I haven't yet been disappointed. The hot foods are delicious, ranging from curry options to lasagne. The salads are also amazing, with various textures and proteins which make them interesting (and tasty!) to eat. For food court value, it's pretty good. I find it easier to get the takeaway containers as I find if I ask for dine in, the plates are over-full and inconvenient to eat from. There are often kofta ball samples - these are addictive and leave you wanting more!

This place offers great value. The food is great, but the menu board is confusing and makes choices hard. I have always had great food from here, but I had to watch what others were ordering in order to determine what I should order!

This is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant located in the Food Court of the Myer Centre. They offer a variety of multicultural curry dishes every day, as well as vegetarian lasagne, snacks (including gluten-free taquitos, rice balls, koftas, etc), salads and vegan cakes. They are very knowledgeable about gluten-free items and have them all marked for ease of choosing.

At the end of each day they have a special - two curries and rice (brown or saffron) for $6 (usually $8), so this is a really good time to buy for dinner. Sometimes they have cleaned off the listings of foods for the day by this time, but it's worth asking or just taking a guess and trying some new dishes you wouldn't have expected.

My favourite curries are the Thai option of green curry (has tofu) and Thai pumpkin curry (absolutely amazing, creamy-textured dish) - I like these better than the other Indian-type dishes. The vegetable koftas are divine and make sure you ask for the special sauce - it's really incredible! So unique that I've never tasted anything like it, and goes perfectly with the cripsy koftas.

The staff are very nice and often have samples of kofta for people walking past, so if you want to try out Vegerama without buying, grab some on your way through the Myer Centre!
