After dining at Aunty Mena's you'll wish she had always been part of your family. This fine establishment with its entirely vegetarian menu is popular hang out for many a concious diner in Wellington.

You'll never feel the need to ask "where is the meat" as all meals are hearty and delicious and if you're after a meaty alternative try their mock meats, surprisingly good!

Fast, fresh, cheap and tasty. An excellent place to go and get your 5+ count!

    I first stumbled upon Aunty Mena’s in the company of a vegetarian friend, and though I’m an omnivore, I still can’t go past this restaurant when I’m not in a meat-eating mood. It’s fair to say the sound of "mock chicken" will inspire trepidation in most meat-eaters but give it a chance: even compared to the real deal, it’s pretty good.

      I wish Mena was my Aunty. Her delicious vegetarian dishes have been a staple of my diet since I moved to Wellington 10 years ago. The shop could been my surrogate aunty, with all the nutritious food they’ve served me over all those years. Try the Laksa!

        The ultimate Wellington destination for vegetarians. Lots of mock meat or, if that creeps you out, stick with soy and veges, in a myriad of different Asian dishes. Delish.

          My gosh… If you’re vegetarian/vegan and you haven’t had the vege ball laska at Aunty Mena’s, your tastebuds kind of haven’t lived. This place has been the go-to on Cuba Street for cheap and cheerful vege/vegan meals for what feels like over a decade now. Try the mock meats out, delicious!

            Perfect for a vegetarian or vegan feast, with a heap of vegetable options - or fake meat, if you’re that way inclined. Big portions for small dollars.

              An extremely popular Malaysian restaurant on Cuba St., everything on the menu is vegan and accommodating choosy eaters is a cinch. Their abundance of meat substitutes (including bbq gluten and mock duck) are both yummy and endlessly entertaining, and will even keep the carnivores in your group satisfied. Try the mee goreng or laksa. With a good selection of dishes starting at $12.50, you’ll fill your belly and bring home leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch.

                Part of me never wants to leave Wellington because I know I would be without Aunty Mena's

                  One of the few exclusively vegetarian eateries in Wellington, Aunty Mena's is certainly a favourite. You can get classic Malaysian dishes such as laksa and mee goreng, while the dumplings are also popular. Perhaps most interestingly and importantly though, Mena's features a range of vegetarian meats, which I doubt you'd find anywhere else, a delicious novelty.

                    And zero guilt for eating an animal
