“Excellent. Small is beautiful, they say — and the owners Ruben and his partner definitely make an effort to serve you some of the best vegan food around. Trained in London and now having opened their own little restaurant here, we could not have been happier to eat out with them .. the jackfruit was amazing, a vegan version of ‘bacalhau n’a bras’ (Portuguese delicacy). And the salad was a great addition. Had to take a bottle of red wine from them, a rare to find vintage but people on the other dishes had been raving about. Service was great, really much enjoyed it.“

“Very popular Indian buffet restaurant. After dining here, I see why! Great food, excellent location and very friendly. The desserts are also worth saving room for. They offer cake/cream-layered desserts ranging from coconut and passion fruit to chocolate flavors. And they fill the wine glasses to the top, making the cheap price per glass even more of a bargain! This is on the same level as the other Indian vegan buffet in Lisbon (Lisbon Vegan Restaurante), albeit a few euros more expensive. Where I am in Lisbon determines which buffet I visit. :-)“

“This place is quite nice for a meal. Good is good, staff is friendly. Love the outside seating place, even at night it was very nice. The only thing for me was that the food had little WOW flavour. (might be personal) This is the reason I am not giving 5 stars. Nice detail to have a heater for cool nights.“

“Chose the tasting menu. Delicious and beautiful food. Really kind and welcoming staff. Only downside is the service was really slow because there were too many people, they were overwhelmed : they should accept less people or have more employees :(( Still, i recommend for the food experience!

“Lovely atmosphere in this restaurant plus it’s just a few minutes walk from the miradouro de Santa luzia. The waiter serving me was really lovely, and he was patient while taking my order. Quality food, local restaurant, great vibes, perfect price, not much more I can say for this restaurant.“

“The pictures don't show how tasty this is! Would definitely recommend getting one of the dishes. The starters are a bit dry so don't take too many of them to not get too full. Assado de legumes is incredible. Staff speaks english!“

“I had the vegan Brunch and it was very delicious. The „scrambled eggs“ were incredible and the portion was quite large. The waiter asked if I was vegan and told me that they didn’t only have the vegan brunch and the açai bowl as vegan options but could also modify some other dishes to make them vegan. The service was great even tho it was extremely busy.“

“Our first stop on recommendation. A hit! Great atmosphere, wonderful, friendly service and a real feast for the palate. Waffles with cinnamon and caramel could use some fruit to break the sweet taste, but the pancake is a revelation without compromise and in tandem with a smoothie it is an unforgettable visual and taste experience! we will definitely visit this place again. I highly recommend...“

“We enjoyed the vegan cheesy burger, cauliflower wings, and the pear berry crumble. Everything had a nice balance of flavors. Unfortunately, all our first choices (for main, dessert, and cocktails) weren't available when we visited, so that was a little disappointing. Otherwise, a pretty good meal. The restaurant itself was quite lovely too. Updated from previous review on 2026-02-25“

“Este restaurante é um de meus top 3 em Lisboa (talvez até o número 1,mesmo não sendo 100% vegan). A comida é maravilhosa, as bebidas também, os preços são ok e os pratos são muito bem servidos. Eu amo a salada Fatoosh e só ela já é o suficiente pra mim às vezes. A batata haara também é algo que peço com frequência.“

“Restaurant that I highly recommend. Very welcoming and attentive servers. Very nice pieces of fish and meat. 13€ for the salmon steak with fries and salad. 59€ for 3 with shared starter, main course and soft drink. Very good value for money“

“I'm not a big fan of ice cream but once in the summer in a very hot day I make an exception and get some ice cream and this place was unbelievably good! You pay a fixed price (my total was €4,10 including the vegan cone, YES they offer vegan cones), and they said I could choose as many flavors as I wanted and the price would remain THE SAME, which I thought it was NUTS but apparently true. I had dark chocolate with strawberries and another fruit (yeah very basic) and I really enjoyed it! There are many vegan options, vegan cones and vegan toppins, so please go there and treat yourself :)“

“It's an experience. It took about 3 hrs for the four course chefs menu with 3 small appetizers and one pre dessert on top of the 4 courses. The view of the river while dining is excellent. It has the feeling of. Private club and the presentation is world class.“

“Can order on an app which has pictures so you can see what to expect. We had the vegan sharer which gave a bit of everything, my favourite was the tomato bruschetta! There were also some sandwich options. The staff were really friendly and it was a handy spot to stop as it's right next to the flea market (if wanting to go to the flea market check the days it's open as it's not every day).

“Die veganen Gerichte nehmen den Großteil der Karte ein, sind hervorragend gekennzeichnet und überzeugen im Geschmack. Der Besitzer ist eine richtige Süßmaus und der Service ist klasse. Unter dem Laden fährt irgendwo die Metro lang und es rappelt manchmal leicht aber ich persönlich finde das ziemlich witzig und cool. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-13“

“A hidden gem of Lisbon, a small, cozy place where every option in the menu can be made vegan. My previous experience of Nepalese food is a bit generic, but this place dispelled my stereotypes. The dumplings and the soup and all the sauces and dopings were delicious and nerdy! All the spicy stuff is served on side so it is also kids friendly. The staff is also exeptional - we felt very welcome, and got good recommendations. The 1,5 euro tequila shot at the end was a cherry on the top.“

“Looking for a Fado evening, we were pointed to this place by a nearby restaurant. What an evening it was! If you want to experience real hospitality, touching performance and delightful local food, look no further, go straight to the room upstairs where the show is. Our fadista was Claudia Leal, a beautiful singer, and a young man (don't remember his name now) with equally passionate and expressive voice. Accompanied by two guitarists, they entertained the audience the whole evening, inviting to sing and clap together. Did not know that Fado can be so cheerful. The food and wine was very good and the service was excellent - special greetings to our lovely host Rusha.“

“A super nice small place with a few tables on the hill. Definitely our favourite place for a drink or a small bite in Alfama. Service is always friendly, professional, and quick. Tuna-chickpea salad and the portuguese bruschettas are super nice. An extra plus for being able to listen to the Fado music from the next door restaurant. and a plus plus for happy hour (17-19) sangria :D
Vegetarian options: Many different cheese (goat cheese, azores cheese etc) options on salads and sandwiches. Limited on vegan options. If you eat fish there's loads to choose from.“

Vegetarian options: There is both meat pizza and vegetarian pizza.“

“They have couple of vegan options for brunch. The atmoshpere of the place is nice with a nice decor and chill music. It can be quite crowded (sometime there is a line to wait to get a table). The portions are quite big, and also tasty. I have tried the vegan shakshuka, it was made by sweetened tomatoes, which I personally prefer to use it as fresh as they are.“

“As others have said, all the vegetarian dishes can easily be vegan and many already are. Several options available. Veggie goyozas were very tasty as was my red curry. They even have several vegan (and interesting!) deserts! Friendly and very helpful service from staff who understand veganism. I recommend!“

“ A really nice space with both indoor and outdoor seating. The vegan croquettes and green beans tempura are really good as appetizers. There are three entrées: definitely a vegan lasagna, which is excellent ( but very rich) and vegan gnocchi and I believe they also have a vegetable curry.  They have a vegan Pannacotta for dessert which I found OK.“

“Lovely little restaurant, polite staff, atmospheric decoration. Frozen goblets for cold drinks and flame heated metal plates were two of the special preparations before food arrived. The food was fresh, flavoursome and top quality. I’d definitely go again. Highly recommended.“

“Without a doubt one of the best places I've been to in Lisbon.
I ate:
1.Veal chamussa - extremely shocking and tasty.
2. Fried cassava - very tasty and with sauces.
3. Shrimp with okra in coconut milk and palm sauce - very good, slightly acidic.
4. Rice - basmatti with fresh grated coconut and very fragrant.
Without a doubt I recommend this place. I will come back whenever I can. The customer service was very good, polite, good-natured, quick and pleasant. The terrace has a relaxed, well-attended atmosphere.“

“On a recent evening in Lisbon, my friend and I decided to change our plans spontaneously and try Sumaya Restaurant, a decision that turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
From the moment we entered, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The decor, which blends traditional Mediterranean elements with modern design, immediately caught our eye and created a comfortable and elegant setting. The staff greeted us with genuine friendliness, making us feel like special guests.
Sumaya is renowned as one of the best Arab restaurants in Lisbon, and it truly lives up to its reputation. The food is expertly crafted to suit Portuguese audience while retaining rich, authentic flavors from the Levant. We sampled a variety of dishes, including sausage, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, falafel, and beef shawarma. Each dish was delicious and full of fresh, vibrant flavors. The beef kofta, our main course, was tender and perfectly seasoned, showcasing the chef's skill.
The restaurant was established by passionate entrepreneurs who aimed to bring the warm flavors of Arab hospitality to Lisbon. Their dedication to quality and authenticity is evident in every dish they serve, and their commitment to exceptional hospitality makes each visit memorable. They also offer halal options, ensuring everyone can enjoy their meals without concern.
I highly recommend Sumaya Restaurant for its outstanding food, high standards of cleanliness, and quality. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic Arab cuisine in Lisbon, and I especially recommend it to my fellow Khaleeji travelers.“

“Fantastic food and very friendly service. Everything we ordered tasted excellent: 2 bowls, the taccos and the tartare
Unfortunately, due to construction work in the adjacent building, some places in the restaurant don't smell good. But we were immediately taken to a better place“

“From food to service, this place delivers! Even in the dead of winter, this place manages a festive ambiance. 🥳 I had the juicy, scrumptious bone free burger with crispy sweet potato fries and the creamy, decadent bounty cheesecake. Portions are large, otherwise I would have also tried the cookies and cream cake. Next time.“
