Jamyang in Lambeth

I was driving on the red route when a classic migraine hit - we parked up and there across the road was the Jamyang cafe. Tea and toasties and friendly service saw us back on the road.

I called in the cafe on a very warm day , primarily for a cup of tea but , seeing a few vegan options amongst the vegetarian menu I thought I might have a sandwich. Unfortunately , it was not available along with the other vegan options. However, the menu looks enticing & I enjoyed my green tea sitting in the beautiful courtyard. The cafe is attached to The Jam Yang Buddhist Centre which is housed in the adjoining Old Courthouse which is a picturesque building in itself. I believe it was opened/ visited by The Dalai Lama - probably at the same time of his visit to the area as The Tibetan Peace Garden which is next to The Imperial War Museum. The Courtyard is in fact the old exercise yard for the Courthouse. Sitting amongst the many pots of flowers & shrubs with a reclining Buddha in view & coloured prayer flags fluttering overhead , it is hard to imagine that busy Kennington Lane & thronging Elephant & Castle roundabout are nearby. There is also a small indoor seating area but the Courtyard is the real attraction. Very pleasant service from the man behind the counter

Muy buena comida vegetariana. Vale la pena una visita. Si visita el Museo del Cine a lo largo del camino, este es el lugar perfecto para almorzar o tomar un refrigerio. Tuvimos un muy buen almuerzo. Felizmente ir allí de nuevo.

Me encuentro con mis amigos una vez al mes y, a menudo, vamos a su cafetería. La comida es vegana, pero las ensaladas son maravillosas y abundantes, y el café y el té de hierbas son excelentes. También debes probar los maravillosos pasteles y el personal es fantástico, muy servicial.

Hermosa cafetería en un centro budista con asientos interiores en un antiguo palacio de justicia y asientos al aire libre en un jardín tranquilo. Fantástica comida vegetariana y café. Tenga en cuenta que actualmente está cerrado y volverá a abrir el lunes 3 de septiembre de 2018.

So disappointed as we made a special trip to this cafe on a friend's recommendation only to find that they were closed for the whole of August. It looked so lovely in the garden too. Will have to go again. Such a shame.

We went there recently and found the place to be a quiet oasis in this buzzling town. Not a place to travel across town for but if you are in the neighborhood and need to chill this is a good place.

I was here for lunch and had the salad plate. There were four different fresh and tasty salads. I also had a delicious vegan apple ginger cake, which was just great. The staff was friendly and I was feeling very welcome. I enjoyed the calm atmosphere of this Buddhist center a lot. Highly recommended!

This garden restaurant is the place to have a beautiful salad, excellent coffee or tea, and perfect bread baked in the kitchen. If I had magic red shoes from the Wizard of Oz, I would wish myself to Jamyang every day.

I ate lunch here with a friend and it was quite possibly the best lunch I've ever had. I highly recommend the quiche! The atmosphere is calm and welcoming and the staff are very friendly. Will be visiting again for sure.

I've known Jamyang Café for years and it's always lovely to be back. Food is tasty and simple at the same time, in a very calm place with a great informal atmosphere. I love their soups and they also serve wonderful cakes! Food is organic and local and freshly cooked. It's definitely one of my favorite place in London!

Jamyang Buddhist Centre is the branch of FPMT which is one of the best Tibetan Buddhism. I was lucky enough to visit centre today. The centre is warm, welcoming and full of compassion. George, was really friendly and showed me around as it was my first visit.I also had a bite in their vegetarian cafe, the food is simply amazing there, portion is good and food is well prepared, fresh and full of flavour, value for money! The most important is the centre has lot to offer, from Puja (prayer) to meditation, buddhist classes. If you are a buddhist like me, or new to Buddhism, this is definitely a goo place to visit. I hope you will enjoy your visit too. They also have accomodation £30 per night, I will recommend to my friends when they come to London. It’s always a blessing that you can stay in Temple!

This place is where I head for lunch, if I am in London. It has freshly cooked vegetarian, traid fair, organic and local meals. The best soups, quiches, bakes and daily specials, salad plates and great coffee, drinks etc and home made cakes. What is not to like. Also a great outside eating area. Calm, friendly and delicious for a reasonable amount.

lovely vegetarian cafe- always something fresh and different and very calm- the garden is lovely if its sunny. Only problem is i usually leave too full as the portions are great & i can't resist the coffee and cake! just shame its not open at weekends!

Homemade vegetarian salads, quiches and cakes. I don't know how they always make them so fresh and tasty. Their pastry is the best I have anywhere. You can have a lunch and a drink for around£8 and feel really satisfied. In good weather sitting outside in the courtyard is lovely. A bit off the beaten track but very close to Elephant and Castle once you've found it.

Lovely, fresh, homemade food served in a lovely outdoor courtyard off a quiet SE11 street. Indoor seating in the old courthouse also available, but best when sitting outdoors :)

Un centre bouddhiste avec un café-restaurant éthique et délicieux, possibilité de manger dans la petite cour sous les drapeaux tibétains....

Este restaurante/cafetería sirve comida vegetariana. El menú es un poco limitado y, como es de esperar contendrá una guía completa para ayudar principalmente en verduras y legumbres. El personal es amable y el lugar tiene un ambiente muy agradable. También hay una zona al aire libre donde se puede comer. Con una buena relación calidad-precio - sin duda merece la pena una visita si eres vegetariano - que no soy
