Summary: Good vegetarian plates
I always try to find new vegetarian places, as I have a vegetarian friend in London, and I do not want to always torment her with 1-2 vegetarian items in the menu that she has to choose between.
We tried Mildreds on a week-night, for a girls get-together. And indeed, it turned out to be a cozy place to dine. We started the night with bellini - prosseco, white peach (5.95 pounds) and elderflower martini - st-germain, gin (6.95 pounds). Both cocktails were amazing, and they served us well while we were waiting for a table. Once we got seated, we decided our dishes pretty quickly. Mildreds has a diverse menu, full of options for all variety of appetites - vegan, and also gluten-free and wheat free.
We decided to share gyozo dumplings (6.25 pounds) for a starter. The plate has 6 of them and they were a joy to eat indeed, which helped us endure the wait for the main dish (though I have to say, the service is pretty quick and the initial wait was not that long compared to typical London standard of 20 minutes going to 40).
For my main course, I had a middle eastern meze plate (10.50 pounds) with beetroot yoghurt dip, chilli feta dip, tabouleh, falafel, spinach feta pinenut spanakopita and flat bread. I loved the spanakopita. Falafel and tabouleh were also both nicely moist and full of flavors. I was not a big fan of the chilli feta dip and the flat bread unfortunately. I like my feta more fatty and less salty. The flat bread was a bit dry, and I like it softer.
My friend got a plate of stir fried asian vegetables (9.95 pounds) cooked in sesame oil and plum sauce with garlic and ginger, fresh chilli and coriander served with organic brown rice, toasted cashews and marinated organic tofu. It was just too much to eat, though she was happy with the taste.
I think at the end we both liked the gyozo dumplings, and wanted more of it.
In summary, Mildreds is at a perfect location for meeting up on a week-night. The wait was tolerable, and we ended up having a good time, and our taste buds cannot complain.
