Rice with two curries I ordered. Black eyed beans were nice but sweet potato and egg plant was having strong smell of vinegar!!!

Came here for lunch today and was impressed. The food is tasty and the service quick. I had the green curry vegetables, garlic roti and a bottled water for $ 11. The green curry was so tasty and spicy. Big bits of eggplant, broccoli, and cauliflower with green beans, carrots and a few other veggies. The garlic roti was perfection and piping hot. I’ve been here a few other times and am always impressed. I’m not a vegetarian but I appreciate vegetarian meals done well.

It’s not often I find a restaurant that ticks nearly all my boxes. But Veg Out Time on Fitzroy Street nearly does just that. If you’re looking for a healthy, cheap, tasty, filling meal then look no further than this delightful vegetarian restaurant that mixes Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai, Indian and Chinese cuisine. For only $ 8.90, you can get your choice of 2 curries plus rice, with the curries in the bain marie are all clearly labelled vegan where suitable. I recommend the butter tofu and chickpea and potato curry, but that said, everything in the daily changing menu looked appetizing. The staff were extremely friendly and although the restaurant atmosphere isn’t exactly sophisticated, there are still tables set up inside and outside for you to sit and enjoy your meal. Take away is also an option. The best bit about this style of food is that it’s so filling, you can package up the remainder of your meal(which is usually a lot!) and have it for lunch the next day!

Okay, so let me start by saying Im no vegetarian. But I do have many vego friends, and so at times we’ll all go vego together. We stopped in here to grab a late lunch recently, and I have to say, a meal here even sans meat is pretty good! Veg Out serves up predominantly Indian and Asian style grub, with lots of great sauces. Its one of those pay by the plate situations, where you pick two or three items plus a side of rice, vegies or noodles. I would really recommend any of the curries, and perfaps the meat lover in me enjoyed the red curry best, even with out the meat. Veg Out hasnt quite killed my aversion to tofu though. But in terms of cheap quick meals, its worth a try — even for those carnivores out there!

I love going back to Veg Out Time; the Owner/Manager always makes you feel like a friend that he has missed dearly. This simple little eatery on busy Fitzroy St caters for the hungry vegetarian, or vego minded. With the kitchen viewable out back, the counter offers ready made Asian influenced curries and little fried yummies bain-marie style. You can also get stir-fries or noodles cooked to your liking, but for a quick eat, the curries out the front hit the spot. I love that you get offered the choice of brown or white rice and can then blend a tofu masala with a red roasted pumpkin curry, delicious. There are at least 10 curries waiting for your tastebuds and all are fresh and appetising. The décor is cheap and you help yourself to water and cutlery. Simple, fast and fresh and all served with a chat and a smile.

If you are looking for a take away meal, that will fill you up and cost you less than $ 15 Veg Out Time is definately for you. Everyone can enjoy Veg Out Time, vegetarian or not. They have a great selection of ready made dishes to choose from, I swear you will hardly even notice there is no meat present! They cook up some great spicy curries my favourite is the green curry, all the dishes come with rice your choice of either white or brown and you may choose the size of your meal as well. The cuisine’s seem to range from Indian, Thai and Moroccon styled dishes all of which are a good cheap option for a healthy dinner or a mid afternoon snack. Veg Out Time far outweighs some of the unhealthier options around it on Fitzroy Street and the staff here are great very friendly and welcoming.
