After having driven past many times wishing the caravan was open, I lucked out and had lunch here. The food was fresh and delicious and made very quickly, the man behind the counter was very friendly. The burgers were pretty big and very reasonably priced compared to other vegan places. We had two zens burgers (one gf) and a lemon cheesecake, both were delicious and filling. Will definitely be back soon to try the deluxe version of the zens burger! You must stop here when passing through Murchison, best food in town!! Can’t recommend enough!!

One of the best places where to eat in New Zealand!! Vegan food made with love! Everything tasty and fresh! And with respect to our planet Earth!! 😍❤️

K. K.

Love Zens! We live locally and go here often, we love the specials and extensive gluten free options. The homemade gluten free burger buns are AMAZING and he always has the tastiest soup!

J. T.

Vegetarian and eco focus. Cute and comfortable set up a food truck. Reasonable prices and not overcrowded.Wonderful soup served in paper bowls. Everything recyclable ♻️. Nice seating.

M. T.

Amazing food !! It vegan but I could add an option on my burger with cheese and pesto ! All homemade, taste awesome and feed you well for a great price!! The owner is also very nice !

One of the best wraps I have ever had from a cafe, so fresh, made with love and the taste of homemade deliciousness in every bite. Whole food plant based done beautifully

D. C.

Another 5 star review for Zen. Stopped here since he started up in Murchison and always top class . Great tasting plant based food. We are not vegetarian/vegan but we guarantee you won't miss the meat! Try it!

S. G.

Hands down the best plant-based food I have ever had from a food cart! Seriously the food here is so yum 😋. We had the soup, deluxe burger, side salad, pasta and cookie. Everything was amazing!

S. S.

Amazing food! Restaurant quality takeaways, even the carnivorous guys thought the veggie burgers were delicious 😂 Very friendly cook and chill atmosphere

K. V.

Was so pleased to see that Zen's was open on the day we were travelling through Murchison as the reviews were all so good we really wanted to have lunch here. Certainly didn't disappoint - the flavours were amazing! Picture of my Falafel wrap below. My husband had the burger which he confirmed was equally delicious!

K. S.

Amazing food and super affordable as well. I will definitely be stopping here next time i’m in Murchison

P. D.

Best vegan food and the burgers are so delicious.

A vegan Oasis in a sea of dairy farms! Small little roadside food truck, 100% vegan, menu changes daily with fresh, local, plant based options. The whole thing is run by one chef in the truck. Amazing place to stop on your route!

B. S.

A completely unexpected feast! Nothing but fresh, colorful, plant-based food with amazing tastes. I’m an omnivore myself, but anyone developing vegan tendencies at Zen’s Kitchen would be thoroughly forgiven. Highly recommended.

L. A.

Such an awesome place. The Zen burger was easily the best plant based burger I've ever had. 100% worth checking it out, you won't be dissapointed.

R. J.

Absolutely fantastic stop off feed. I’m not vegan but the burger and risotto served as part of a small menu out of a small food van were up there for us. Thank you!

R. T.

Great vegan food! Exquisite flavors. The lentil burger and the roasted vegetable phyllo dough pastry with homemade plum sauce and beet salad were superb.

Z. K.

Wow! This is a must eat 🙏 even if you're not vegan. Lovely food

K. B.

I can't recommend this place enough! Food that is fresh, healthy and tastes as good as it looks! We will be back for sure. 👍

E. M.

Awesome unexpected vegetarian food cart conveniently off the highway. Delicious flavorful lentil burger with lettuce, sprouts and chutney on a soft, toasted ciabatta. Reasonable price (only $10 for a burger), nice seating, and friendly, quick service. Definitely worth the stop in Murchison!

J. B.

Just the tastiest soup I've ever had, and amazing GF options too. Excellent food. Highly recommend this one - good things come in small packages!

S. B.

Great little shack in a small town. Had an excellent vegan burger, though as a generally meat consuming individual this was excellent and exactly what we needed while on our long roadtrip. Can definitely recommend.

M. S.

Delicious food and lovely owner. Food is nourishing, filling and tastes fantastic. Highly recommend this place!

C. H.

The soup was amazing and super cheap, The burger is also good and cheap. I think the owner should raise the price. I’m not a vegun but it was really good for me. Pls order soup and taste it and get warm ☺️ Kitchen looked very busy though as there was only one person

M. O.

Beautiful food caravan. Immaculately clean kitchen and fantastic vegan food. Will come here next time I’m passing through

T. L.

What an incredible find! Partner and I were driving through town and decided to stop here as we were starving - had no idea it's vegan, which neither of us are. Food was superb! Partner had the burger and I had the veggie soup - hearty portions, wonderfully fresh ingredients, and simply divine flavor. To top it off we had the chocolate and walnut cake with whipped coconut cream and it was to die for. This place is a gem that I wholeheartedly recommend!

J. T.

Stopped in for lunch and coffee. Zen was friendly and very conscious of the source and quality of his food and the waste that was created. Will stop and eat again!

M. R.

Vegan dishes and yummie other stuff. Didn’t expect this on the road and loved it a lot! Thanks for creating such a lovely space for a quick healthy break!

M. K.

Such a treat!! Hearty vegan burgers and delicious hot soup.

M. S.

We accidentally found this great vegan place in an area, we wouldn't have expected it. We tried the burger, the empanada and the soup and they all were delicious. We highly recommend! I'd love to have the recipes for the empanada's filling and the burger patties. Awesome!

P.

Food is amazing. Great vegan burgers and the soup is highly recommended.

D. L. E.

Great place to stop for food on the way to the ghost road. Delicious fresh choices and quick service. Changes the menu regularly but the burger remains a firm choice each time. Good drinks selection too. Friendly guy!

S. N.

Delicious freshly made vegan food, good value for money and great service. We shared the soup and the empanada. Would recommend to everyone!

A. S. (.

Great food, rotating menus, eco-friendly preparation by a lovely chef. We always go to Zen's when passing through Murchison!

J. V.

What a delightful surprise! Great tasting vegan food right where you might least expect it. A little trailer, hosting a one man team, providing great service.

P. S.

The flavours and textures were incredible, and the service was fast and friendly. Such a surprise to find amazing vegan food in Murchison. (And my fiancee thought that Zen was hot.)

C. N.

The most delicious, healthy, ethical, affordable and friendly food venue we have come across in a long time! We have stopped here twice on or travels and we will take any future opportunity to visit as many more times as we can!

k. m.

We were amazed to see a vegan place and we loved it! Loved their choices in menus and variety. Neat presentation and tasty food

Good healthy veaganfood, tasty, generous quantity, value for money, would stop again. Not great for those who take milk with coffee he only offers black which suited me.

H. D.

Delicious and nourishing cruelty-free food !

More people need to know about this place. After days of "tourist food" the goulash soup here was like a warm hug from a friend. Delicious and filling - perfect for the day.

(Translated) I've rarely eaten such a great risotto as we did there. Really a dream. We actually only wanted to take a short break in this place and discovered the food truck. It was really worth it to extend the break! The pesto ciabatta was also really tasty ... but the risotto can't be beat! For that alone I would go there again! If you pass there, you should stop in any case! (Original) Ich hab wirklich selten so ein geniales Risotto gegessen wir dort. Wirklich ein Traum. Wir wollten eigentlich in diesem Ort nur kurz Pause machen und entdeckten den Foodtruck. Es hat sich wirklich gelohnt die Pause zu verlängern! Auch das Pesto-Ciabatta war wirklich lecker...aber das Risotto unschlagbar! Allein dafür würde ich wieder dort hin! Wer dort vorbei kommt, sollte in jedem Fall anhalten!!

K.

(Translated) We can only recommend super delicious vegan food! As a meat meal, we become vegans 😙 (Original) Super leckeres veganes Essen, können wir nur empfehlen! Da werden wir als Fleischessen noch zu Veganern 😙
