Carvaan Delicatessen - Yokohama

I tried a vegan rolled sandwich with falafel, which tasted great 1320 yen sounds a little pricey, but this cafe/delicatessen is a casual version of the fancy restaurant of the same name, so the presentation is quite nice and I really enjoyed Arabic coffee (300 yen) According to a staff member, they will change menus soon and stopped serving a vegan burger now, but there will definitely be many vegan options including new vegan curry It is located in the Foodies ' Part II section of the basement of the Takashimaya Department Store

Every time I've walked past this place, they've been sold out of their vegan burger. But I decided to stop here and try the roasted cauliflower shawarma and it was good! The sauce was especially good and a little citrusy. Very fast service and vegan options are clearly labeled. There is seating next to the counter but not much and it feels like an afterthought. My dining experience was less-than-great due to two of the rowdiest children ever, but that is not the restaurant's fault and the staff even came out to try and entertain the children. The staff was very nice and made sure everything was clean. I'd like to come back sometime and try the vegan burger if they have it in stock.

We paid almost 4000 yen for 2 burgers and a small salad! Wouldn't mind the price that much, but the burger tasted just like a piece of bread with boiled cauliflower... So disappointing. We talked with the manager about the taste, and suggested for example to have a soy patty instead or something else. Or, at least make it taste better... In the future maybe I will try something else Updated from previous review on 2022-01-15

I have ordered the three sides and an salat option for 1,404 yen before control (simplified separately) the portion size is somewhat disappointing for the price and the aromen are a bit too soft. the falafel was very dry and the sauce is not too good. the kartoffels and the tomato dish were ok, and the salate is mediocre. I also tried the ice bread. the taste is also too soft, it was hardly sweet. Imagine it is like ice cream without sugar to eat in it. updated by previous review on 2021-06-14

Really enjoy the cauliflower, cauliflower burger, cumin rice and salads. There are unusual ingredients like pomegranate and sacha inchi nuts in the salads. Fries and hummus were also good. The only thing that I didn't care for was the moroheiya itself in the Moroheiya and Falafel with cumin rice- it's a leaf that has a sticky, gelatinous texture, and when it was cooked down it was somewhat reminiscent of yamaimo- extremely sticky and just not to my personal taste. If you like things like natto, it might be for you. I've had all the ice cream sandwiches at home via the Far East Bazaar online shop and particularly recommend Hanamitu (Flower Nectar) Soymilk, Fig, and Almond. They do have some seats for eating in. Love how they even mark the beers vegan (rare in Japan). They have some original beers. Updated from previous review on 2021-04-18
