A really great little restaurant in Stroud.
I found Karibu online whilst looking for vegan places in the Cotswolds and it was lovely.
The food was really delicious and is apparently a fusion of the owner's Kenyan heritage and his travels in South America and Asia.
We order half the menu and shared it. Massasan curry was creamy and delicious. Nachos with home cooked tortilla chips and smashed plantain, was really fresh.
The mung bean curry makes mung bean taste great!
The chocolate delights are liked inverted Ferrero Roche on steroids.
It's got a home cooking feel in the best way, like every dish has soul and has been made with care.
Vegan or not it's really worth checking out!
What a great find, well worth making a quick detour from the M5 for!
We had the Ghoulash, Sweet & Sour Tofu, Polenta chips (the best we had ever had) and broccoli side, along with a Pineapple Daquiri mock tail and Stroud brewery IPA.
We enjoyed the evening sun from the rooftop terrace and were delighted with the flavours, size of portions and experienced great friendly service.
We will definitely be back!
Thumbs Up 👍🏻 to the chef.
Delicious food.
Being a vegetarian myself , this is by far the best vegan food I’ve ever had so far in the UK.
Staff and chef were really polite and passionate about what they do.
My fav was : Caramelised Plantain, Spicy Cauliflower and The Indian curry

I started with Vegtable samosa's. Followed by bean, couscous garlic bread for main. I had bottle green elderflower presse and a Pineapple mocktail.
Vegtable samosa's were tasty flavour improved further with the sauce accomanyment. The 'Lebanese ful and cucuous salad' balanced well together with bean and the couscous. The couscous dish blended fresh and raw ingridents well having the cooked beans and fresh cucumber and diced red onion in the couscous. Garlic bread was delicious, not knowing what to expect other than obviously not going to be a traditional Italian one. But worked well. It being a burger bun lid having spices on, including oregano (thyme, parsley).
The pineapple mocktail was sweet, tropical and exquisite while the flavour being sophisticated. It was made fresh to order, Glad I tried the Pineapple mocktail as one of the highlights of the meal.
Overall very tasty. Would highly recommended and cone again. This time didn't starter Main, and full. So Maybe another time I'll try Main, dessert to try some of the desserts too.
A must go restaurant.
Stumbled upon this place when visiting the local area and was so pleasantly surprised to find this gorgeous place. The owner and staff were so kind and welcoming, talking to us about the food and giving recommendations, even a free starter as we were new to the area. We had two mains and drinks and the menu is so good. It was fully of flavour and really unique. The atmosphere was cosy and I loved our dinner there. We'll be back next time we're in Stroud!
Fantastic food on the sun terrace overlooking Rodborough fields. We’re not vegan but loved the food & friendly staff. Well worth a visit. Definitely recommend

My 2nd visit to Karibu restaurant in the same weekend! What more can I say....?
In my opinion, it is one of best quality vegan food I have tasted. In my first visit, I had mexican nachos with beans which was bursting with flavours. The second meal I had was sweet and sour tofu for starters and cripsy corn cakes with tofu, both of which tasted delicious. My visit couldn't go without a dessert so the 1st time round I ordered a uniquely tasting caramelised plantain with peanut and walnut brittle and icecream. The 2nd time i went for chocolate delight which was indeed delightful with quite a unique concept! Both of these were to die for!
I love cocktails!! So I couldn't resist trying a couple. I tried Sangria & Caipirao which is a Portuguese drink. A must try in my opinion! Both were refreshing and I sure was having a mellow buzz ☺ which was pleasant with a scenaric sunset view upstairs in the rooftop terrace.
Besides the good quality food, the staff are very welcoming - all smiles and the chef has attention to detail with his dishes, taste and flavours.
Definitely recommend it and am sure you won't regret it!!
Outstanding restaurant! Would highly recommend paying a visit! Food was great, service was excellent and has a very friendly atmosphere!
We came over from hereford and it was well worth the journey,we will definitely be paying frequent visits.
We had Alice's smokey stew and dumplngs, Mung bean curry, caramelised plantain, and a chocolate delight, everything was cooked perfectly with beautiful flavours, left us feeling happy and full! We really can't pour enough praise on Karibu, perfect experience in every way! Thank you for everything!
A dream come true in Stroud. Mouth watering Vegan plant based dishes created with love & it shows. Great friendly service & relaxed atmosphere. A real find!!
Amazing food, what a gem. We had the Massaman curry and Tofu burger - both excellent. Washed down with a Stroud lager.
