Normally a fan of roots and have eaten in all other locations aside from this one. Unfortunately, this last experience left me very frustrated. Ordered a peanut tika masala with planted chicken, an avocado sandwich and two drinks for my wife and I.
The masala was only just above room temperature, swimming in sauce with 4-5 tiny pieces of planted chicken. Wanting to give them a chance to redeem themselves, I asked for more planted chicken. One team member just turned her nose up and walked off while the other highlighted where she saw the chicken….
My wife regularly takes the avo sandwich but this time left hungry, as did I, as the portions where just ridiculous given what you pay.
We had planned to stay there for the afternoon for coffees etc but were too frustrated and so went elsewhere. Zurich prices for food are what they are, but at least give me decent service and don’t let me leave hungry.

Peaceful place to sit outside. The food is tasty and unique. Service was very helpful and friendly

I am very sad to leave reviews like this because we support vegetarian and vegan restaurants due to animal cruelty concerns, but unfortunately, the team wasn't attentive, and the food was pretty bad. I asked for a hot tea and double-checked that it was possible to receive a hot tea, but I received a cold tea with ice. The caffe latte was too strong. Also, the food was cold and quite unjuicy, and overall, our experience was pretty disappointing.

This vegan restaurant is a great example that meatless food can be delicious and beautiful. The all-vegan menu included breakfast, lunch, and snack items. Take away or dine in. Friendly and accommodating staff. Family-oriented corner in the back. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

I love meat and hence always reluctant to go vegan. But I want to start a good clean eat habit so give Roots a try. OMG, it’s sooo delicious! How can they make vegan food so amazing! And I don’t feel hungry for the whole afternoon! It is a bit pricy than others but the quality is far better than chewing salad package. Will be my go to lunch spot now. Do come before 12:00 to avoid queue and if you want to dine in.

This place is awesome. Managed to find it while in Zurich for work. There’s and English menu, which is super helpful. The avocado & cream cheese sandwich was so good I had it twice. Make sure you add tofu! Great oat lattes too.

The avocado toast is special - with peanut butter! Loved it! Tab water freely accessible, friendly young staff. Lovely!

This place opened right after the lockdown, great addition to the neighborhood. Wonderful açaí bowls, avocado sandwich and avocado toast. Service could be a bit faster, especially in busy lunch time when business is back to normal
