This place is my happy place. The buffet is always delicious, nutritious, simple flavours that make my heart warm like mom’s cooking!
The manager, Linde, greets me with a smile and by name (as she does all her customers) and always before going through what the kitchen has prepared with me.
Off the menu, the freshly squeezed juices are divine, the burger almost feels guilt free and falafel wrap is one of the best I’ve had!
Great menu, best vegetarian lunch buffet, friendly staff. Healthy breads especially on Wednesday and Friday. Natural health remedies and all sorts of healthy foods and skin care products.
MY FAVOURITE RESTAURANT IN JOHANNESBURG. Fruits and Roots is a really cute restaurant with the best buffet I’ve ever had. It’s out daily and there are always loads of vegan options such as curries, bakes, salads, grains etc. their menu is also amazing (the wraps are great) with really generous portions.

Lovely vegan restaurant / shop. This place sells wide variety of healthy vegan foods. One get to shop after / before meal. Love the idea of buffet during the week, with tasty lasagna, curry, pasta, salads, veggie pie, chickpeas balls, cauliflower cream and lots more to choose from. Everyday the chef may makes different dishes. If you choose to order from menu, you can also enjoy a fulfilling meal. A great option for those work around Bryanston area. Don't forget to pop by if you are there.
Fruits & Roots brings out my inner "hunter-gatherer"! Love that I can shop, snack and blog... around all my favourite animal & gluten-free deliciousness!! All the food is super yummy, fresh and exciting and offered a la carte or harvest table style. The staff are also cheery, eager and knowledgeable. My only complaint would be that it is all a bit on the pricey side (even the store products are about 20% more than competitors) but for the "one stop shop" convenience it's worth the premium.
Awesome food from the buffet section as always! I love the warm reception. Delicious vegetarian food. Awesome dessert options for people with food intolerances. Had an amazing chai latte with almond milk yummmy! The only reason they are getting a 4 instead of a 5 is their new buffet weighing method. It's more expensive. A buffet should have a standard price. The people who moan about not eating a lot should be offered smaller plates with a lower standard price. I find it pointless to pay R 110 for this plate yet not be able to take whatever is left as takeaway because its a Buffet.
I love this place for its health alternatives - gluten-free, vegan, etc.! The food is generous and actually tastes wonderful! 🍉 The falafel is delish! I wasn't a fan of their smoothies, but the juices are fresh and good. It's also great to be able to buy groceries - I do wish there were more organic fresh produce!
A lovely little spot to grab healthy & fresh food. One can either order off the menu or enjoy a lovely harvest table. I highly recommend the Thai veg curry.
Green Thai Curry + Frozen Lemonade. Awesome summer combo. The curry was hearty and filling without being too rich - cashews added a nice crunch. The lemonade was amazing!
It's always great to have a heathy, vegan, wholesome restaurant to go to. The cafe attached to the shop here has a wonderful lunch buffet that is fully vegan and can be enjoyed by all! They a have nice menu and treats to choose from too, it is quite a small menu though and the food itself is quite simple. Service is friendly and welcoming. There is an outdoor seating area which is much nicer than sitting in the shop but the atmosphere is a bit flat overall. The shop has all the vegan and healthy products you could want, but it is more expensive than other stores with the same products. Would recommended it for simple healthy vegan lunch.
Great place if you looking for something healthy (only vegetarian though). Service is good, waitress was very friendly and knew the menu, as well as the buffet very well. This is placed on the road just outside the centre so not the best view.
Very good healthy food, some of the best vegan/vegetarian food available in joburg. BUT dont believe the closing time for a Saturday which they say is 15h30 but they actually start packing up all the chairs and tables around you at 14h15!! Its a pity but I will likely be back again for the great food and smoothies... Hopefully service will be better then

I really enjoy the shopping experience here, there's always exciting natural and organic healthy products on sale, I sometimes can spend an hour just browsing, the restaurant is good, slightly expensive for the value, but the buffet is good and reasonable. Nice selection of fresh juices too.
LOVE this place. Best and freshest ingredients, great tasting healthy food, awesome health and wellness oriented products and food stuff and reasonable prices. Always a great alternative to cooking at home - without having to worry about saturated fats, preservatives and sugars you'd get in fast food.
I really enjoy their daily vegetarian buffet. The buffet is always different with super fresh cold and warm options made with seasonal ingredients. Ideal place for a healthy guilt free meal :)
This is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Joburg. The food is outstandingly fresh, delicious and healthy.
They offer an R85 buffet with an assortment of veggies curries, salads (warm and cold).
The service is excellent, our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.
They also have a gorgeous menu, with all things veggies AND they have the best juices and smoothies
Next time you're in the Bryanston area you have to pop by, vegetarian or not.
This coffee shop that adjoins the health shop offers a fantastic lunch time harvest table containing vegetarian and healthy meals. The salads are creative and are a great option for a quick weekday lunch. I often pop in for the vegetable juice, and amazing date balls. You can either eat in or take away. Great location, with very easy parking.
Calling all vegetarians. Great wholesome food! Friendly efficient service. Shop around for holistic product after. Enjoyed the daily buffet ending with a hot cup of bamboo coffee with my mom... Just had my baby boy 4 weeks ago and healthy energizing refreshment is just what I needed!
Delicious fresh healthy smoothies. MMMM BERRY DELICIOUS. And they have all sorts of snacks and food on the menu. It's worth taking a look around the health store too... Plenty of interesting things!
Always fresh, always abundant ingredients in portions, always friendly and always willing to accommodate the most random of orders :)
I would recommend it to anyone looking for fresh and healthy food!
Love their daily buffet. Very tasty and refreshing. Great place for fresh and pure goods. Ideal restaurant for a nourishing yet hearty veg meal.
