The Bank Holiday Monday - 25th of August 2014 !! We cherished every bite, every morsel of the new flavours , the new twists & variations and some familiar cuisine at tibits - A vegetarian restaurant based in London at Heddon Street , a short hop off the Regent Street.
You heard me right ! A vegetarian restaurant , right in Central London. Its not just Indian Cuisine , multi cuisine it is ! Seldom, one finds in London!! Being a vegetarian by choice, since birth , I see a poor state of vegetarian choices in most restaurants in UK and Europe. This is something that took me on board and we are glad we made it up to tibits for Lunch.The communication manager Mary Jones was ever gracious and sent me an invite for 2 people to visit tibits. Using this opportunity, I visited the restaurant with a foodie cousin , who had travelled to London on holiday from Dubai . We made sure to leave the kids behind with their beloved dad's in their fun filled care and call it the Girl's Day Out. Non stop Banter and chatter over a delicious meal. Yet light, filling and content when we made our way through the gallery.
Sssh !! It was a rainy day .. Encapsulated from top to toe in my down jacket ,I just wanted to make it to the restaurant after all the splish splash splosh on the road. We alighted at Oxford Circus Station and took 8-9 minutes stroll before we reached the much waited lunch. So much to my hullabaloo, what an atmosphere it was.The ambience was modern, contemporary, serene and benevolent.
We were very well received by the manager in charge - Anthony. He took me around on a restaurant tour, introducing the amazing Head Chef and giving me a insight on how the system works.



We, the pair of us tried 27 off 40 available selections , carefully filling our plate just enough to tickle our tummy.
The manager first handed us over a card ,assigned to our table. So any food filled in will be weighed and the amount will be added to the card. The drinks were available to be bought across the counter.


We chose our drinks to be Carrot Ginger Apple Juice , a palate and tummy cleanser as I refer and  Wassionata , a Lemon Mint Mojito where the mint was squashed with the lemon syrup.
To begin with, I favoured the traditional onion rings,potato wedges, jalapeno poppers and some corn salad to dip in with cocktail sauce, sweet chilli dip and more. The Cocktail Sauce was the Star!The starters were bang on . just how it should be . Except the poppers had gone a cold on the outer .Wish it was Teeny Weeny bit more crispier..
Rupa , my cousin friend decided to fill her plate with a total contrast starters – Coleslaw Salad,Corn Salad and Jalapeno Poppers.. The Coleslaw had some perfectly julienned vegetables whereas the the corn salad was very well seasoned.She loved her Cocktail sauce too…
How we wish we had a little chat with the chef on how he went on making it .. I carefully noted the ingredients to try it out sometime at home. It was Tomato Sauce, Yogurt,Chives and Onions.. Very unique and subtle…


Our second serving had an entirely different cuisine onto our plates. I  had delved in Mediterranean Cuisine .Falafel with Baba Ganoush was just perfect !! My cousin exclaimed.. she hadn't had such mouth watering falafels in the middle east . Isn't that a remarkable comment to make.
This foodie cousin who is not a salad person dived into a Salad alacarte with a tsp. of serving of each.
Peruvian Quinoa Salad rich in Iron , something that can be easily replicated at home.The veggie's in them gives such a refreshing summery toast to the salad .
Having a foodie conversation with the manager,he recommended us to try the Dried Bean Salad and we took his word to try the Swizz Speciality.The Dried Bean is available to buy across the counter ,as it travels all the way from Switzerland.. Mama mia . The nicer part of these delicacy’s are the  free recipe cards that kept right at the entrance for the customers to try them at home. Anthony kept our company on and off,helping us with the must try salads from the food boat like the Panzanella Tuscan Bread Salad and Pasta Salad. My my.. These Italian delicacies were authentic to its dishes.Absolutely delectable! Basmati Rice with Indian Dal was absolutely delicious , finger licking till we cleaned the plate. Thai Aubergine curry was a bit too spicy, surprisingly..
The clean contemporary sign boards all over the restaurant caught my attention as soon as we stepped in, giving a clear picture of what tibits has to offer .The whole atmosphere is self explanatory and is easy going.
The buffet had so many accessories, we were royally spoilt with choices. The cherry on the cake was the desserts. Raspberry Cream with Strawberry and Pineapples got our votes universally.. Not that the cheese cake , Banofee Pie and the Vegan sticky toffee pudding was lagging behind.
Raspberry cream with sliced fruits was a royal ending to a sumptuous meal. Once we completed the buffet meal, I handed over the card to the manager and very kindly with a beautiful smile, he swiped it on his machine and handed over a bill of 35£. Very reasonably priced for the meal we divulged in. The management at tibits wanted me to enjoy the whole experience just as any other customer would. The bill was dummy from my end .
Thank you tibits for having us over there. Thank you Anthony for helping us around piling our plates with the right choices of delicacies. It was an afternoon well spent with some amazing food and an amazing company.
Vegelicious !!! A recommended restaurant for vegetarians and meat lovers with your kids.
Still reminiscing this wonderful experience and if you are looking forward to replicate their recipes, tibits have a book to takeaway priced at 25£. It is also available to buy it over amazon,
