Organic veg boxes in Edinburgh

We have a regular weekly veg box from East Coast Organics, but they recently started rearing pigs for meat. Therefore I have been planning on trying the veg boxes...

I’ve lived in Edinburgh for over three years, and I have still never seen Black Bo’s!

I don’t miss Susie’s Wholefood Diner at all, though: the one time I was there, the food had run out and the...

I’ve lived in Edinburgh nearly three years, and have never even found, let alone tried, Black Bo’s! I always forget that it even exists. I must make a mental note to find it and at least have a...

Hi Loss,

Edinburgh is a wonderful place to live – you’ll love it. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of vegan community here, although I’m sure there are plenty of vegans. The cheapest...

Thanks to all for the recommendation. I tried this new buffet last Tuesday, but found it disappointing. There was a wide range of dishes, including an incongruous Indian-style one rather like Bombay...

I’ve now booked myself up for something else on 28 March. There hasn’t been much of a response to my original suggestion, anyhow.

Despite the reservations of some, I think it may be better to try...

Fair enough, but judging by the fact that there hasn’t exactly been a flood of messages here since I suggested a date five days ago, somehow I get the idea that this lunch thing isn’t going to happen!

Shall we all try to arrange a date, maybe in late March or early April, to go to Ann Purna for a buffet lunch? How about Saturday, 28 March, say? We can organise the exact details nearer the time. ...

Let’s see whether any other Edinburgh (or other Central Belt-ish) people reply. Otherwise it’ll just be SnowyWhite, me and Mrs Golebnik (if she’s free), and I know of one other I could probably...

I see that both Kalpna and Ann Purna are now offering lunchtime buffets. The Ann Purna one is £6.95, and I think the Kalpna one is not much more expensive. I haven’t had the chance to try either of...

Lidl sell a weird brand called ‘Parkside’. Annoyingly, they list ‘plain chocolate’ as a basic ingredient. In none of the many languages on the packaging does is say what are the ingredients of the...

I managed to make it there at the weekend, for the final time under the ‘old management’. We also met the new owner. The current owner (the son of the family) explained that there will be a period...

Thanks for the update about Ann Purna. So maybe we won’t notice any real difference under the new owners? I’m going to try to fit in a final visit this weekend anyhow.

What about Kalpna, over the...

Oops, I should have looked up other threads before writing my post. Thanks very much for the info, and now I needn’t regret not having made it to Kalpna in the past.

Things are not looking good...

I’m just reviving this ancient thread to bring Edinburgh folk the bad news that the vegetarian Gujurati restaurant Ann Purna is to change hands at the end of June.

The owners are going to have a...
