After a long day exploring Dubrovnik we were looking forward to a meal at Nishta partly because of the Lonely Planet recommendation and the good reviews. We sat out in the narrow street as it went dark which made it very cosy.
Me and my partner had the local beer and the Packoras for starters, then Falafels and a local dish Cevapcici for mains.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food freshly prepared.
My partner is a veggie so it’s great to eat out when she can eat anything on the menu!
Two beers, starters and mains came to €62.

Lovely little hidden restaurant, inside and outside seating. Fully vegan! Great gluten free options, the zucchini lasagna and tacos were so delicious. The perfect lunch portion! The starters sounded amazing but we ate lunch! Homemade smoothies and juices were super tasty too!
Nishta means “nothing,” but the food at this vegan restaurant is anything but nothing. There were more than a dozen selections at the salad bar, and a bowl of self-assembled salads came at a steal for just 8 Euros! The offerings included pickled green/red cabbage; smokey grilled eggplant, peppers, and zucchini; roasted cherry tomatoes, roasted potatoes, beets, carrots, green beans, lentils, spiced yellow rice, tempeh, marinated mushrooms, cashews, and a flatbread made of seeds. Every item from the bar was flavorful and delicious and, assembled together, made for a complete meal! Being in Dubrovnik, I also tried the vegan Cevapcici, or grilled “sausages” served with ajvar (an eggplant-pepper paste) in a chewy flatbread, along with sweet potato salad on the side. The Cevapcici were on the salty side, but the naan bread, ajvar, and sweet potato salad were all tasty.
Incredible take on vegan! None of your veggie burger or vegan cheese, but all innovative, delicious creations. We were a bit hesitant about raw (would it be dry, bland, boring?), but the raw options we tried were as delicious as the cooked Melanzani lasagne. We even bought their cookbook.
Please follow server's recommendation as has very thorough knowledge of menu. Had the BEST raw zucchini lasagna EVER and have had quite a few in different cities. Kudos to the creator of this dish! Recommended Balis soda; basil & ginger with slice of orange & lime; very unique and refreshing flavor.
They utilize local & mainly organic sources. JUST GO & leave with a 😃.

Good atmosphere.
We had ordered Kombucha and home made lemonade with ginger and turmeric.
Drinks were fine. Nothing special.
The service was horrible. Only one lady was catering to 7-8 tables.
We had ordered Lentil's cake which was a combination of Indian and Mediterranean. The sauce was pesto instead of Indian mint chutney. Interesting take!
Now, start the disaster.
The falafel was too dry to take a bite. The falafel balls themselves too did not have any taste.
The curry platter was horrible. The 'naan' was under cooked from the corner. There was just no taste.
It seems this restaurant has picked up 1-2 items from different cuisines and tried to make their own menu. The intention is good but execution would need much more effort.
Would not recommend!

The food here was great, with both raw and regular cooked dish options.
We really enjoyed the dessert as it wasn’t too sweet.
The almond gnocchi are definitely a must.

My favourite place for vegan food in Dubrovnik. Creative, tasty and beautifully cooked. You'll need to book in advance as they get very busy, but absolutely worth it. We went back a second time after trying some other options (and none of them being as good). My non-vegan mom loved the food too. Small complaint is that they refused to serve us tap water on one visit (not the other). We didn't have any other restaurant refuse this and it felt a bit petty when spending so much money on food and and wine not to offer it. But a really small point for an otherwise perfect meal (twice!)
