Review Deepgroove - Newtown

Not a bad joint, some of their dishes need more sauces and tweaks to the flavours for my liking. The highlight was probably the Mexicana Pizza, followed by the Cauliflower, then the avocado 'burger'; the pasta was really spicy, which is not a bad thing but after so much spiciness I was really searching for something else in the pasta to freshen up the pallete, but really there's only onions and olives in the pasta, could have added some mushrooms at least. Nonetheless, I salute them for I did not miss meat at all for the night!

Realistically 3.5 stars. This is a good solid vegan/vegetarian restaurant. Sadly the staff don't seem all to happy about their roles, I'm hoping I got them on a bad day. The food is ok, nothing I'd go back for - but good nonetheless. I wish them all the best. They have a great menu (sadly our dishes didn't quite live up to our expectations, both in size and flavour). I'd still definitely recommend you try them, in you're in the area. They're in a great location on King St, Newtown about 5-10 minutes walk up from the train station. Some street parking is available, if you're prepared to walk a couple of blocks.

The service was timely, even though they were a little busy. We ordered a pizza & pasta dish & finished off with a desert. The food was tasty & flavorful and portion sizes were just right. The deserts were divine. Only 4 stars as they were out out of one off the desert options we wanted & given the price of similar desserts elsewhere, they're over-priced

The food was delicious and nutritious. The staff was very friendly with a jolly smile on their face always. Music and the decorations keep the place always lively. A must visit when you are thinking about a dinner around Newtown.

Oh so nice and so good, wait staff are friendly and very competent they helped us for a wheelchair access from the back entrance. The food was so good too. I'll come back soon. Thank you.

Fun, mid-scale vegan and vegetarian pizza, pasta and Tex Mex in the heart of Newtown. Considering the popularity of GiGis and the Italian Bowl, it's clear Sydney wants more affordable pizza and pasta restaurants with good vegan options. Deepgroove fits the bill here and the decor is a cut above casual or takeaway dining but below somewhere like GiGis. The same can be said for the food. It's better than the average vegan offering, but again below GiGis in terms of quality. Don't get me wrong, the food is still good but the menu seems like it could do with some refining. It also seems like one of those restaurants where there are a few too many items/cuisines to choose from and this resulted in some confusion on our visit. For example, it is printed on the menu that each pasta option can be made vegan. After taking our order, the waitstaff returned and informed us this was not actually the case. We reordered, but then they got the order wrong. Despite this, the staff were very friendly and overall it was still an enjoyable experience. The pizzas were a standout, and the whole restaurant is a very comfortable space to enjoy a drink and some good food. I look forward to visiting again.

Great vegan options including cocktails and delicious food. The Impossible Burger was just that, great but I couldn't finish it. Great courtyard at the back. Not the cheapest place but worth it.

For full blog post and photos, go to my blog Weekend Food Escapes It's the wheelbarrow of Nachos called Rainbow Nachos ($17) that takes everyone's attention. There's cornchips, chilli black beans, pico de gallo, guac, coconut smoked jalapeno sauce and a huge artichoke flower. I like the coconut flavoured sauce that goes over the nachos and I enjoy scooping up the blackbeans with the chips. This dish is hard to stop eating once you start.

Have been meaning to pop in to this place for a while and did so post a show at the Enmore. What a great spot, good selection of drinks, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and a very congenial host. Love the idea of selecting an album and hearing it played on a lovely Rega p7. We were a little late to sample the food but the menu looked yummy. Great concept, great place. Just go!

A really great place to catch up and enjoy the cocktails they have on offer, 'happy hour' is quite the bonus ! A relaxed and very inviting place, cracker staff and awesome owner, well worth a visit, plus, your choice of vinyl is terrific! Unreal :) , Ben.

My new favourite place in Newtown! The staff are incredibly friendly and go the extra mile, the cocktails are delicious and the bar has a great vibe. The additional touch of being able to select your own record to play makes this a really awesome place to go and I will definitely be visiting again :)

delicious food and amazing variety of drinks... loved the vibe of place... definately coming again and again.

Love this place. I'm here having a cocktail and listening to a Bowie record that I picked from the record collection beside the bar. Great staff and great atmosphere.

Relaxed atmosphere, Great cocktails (must try the owners special) and staff was friendly. they have a extensive list of vinyls that they will play for you on request. Will be going back when back in the state.

If I opened a bar, it would be exactly like this! Pick your vinyl and they’ll play it. Record lovers dream bar!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and you can play your own vinyl on a high end sound system. What's not to love.

Great bar and great music. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely love this place :) keen to come back again the drinks are outstanding �

Love the cocktails! Loved the music! What a great atmosphere...we will be back!

Great ambience, delicious cocktails and music of your choice, love it here. We will be back for sure!

Awesome people here and nice music getting free drink from totally stranger for celebrating his boss birthday happy birthday Steve!

If you love vinyls, and you love beers, boy is this the place for you. Stoke out on all the classics with a reasonably priced beverage, it's the perfect pre-gig warm up.

Bought a voucher for my sister and when she went to redeem it a little over the three month mark she discovered it had expired already. I accept the responsibility in that, but when I contacted groupon, who informed me that the business could choose to accept it regardless, and then contacted the business itself they lied and said it was out of their hands. When I explained I knew it was up to their discretion to extend the window for redemption, they ignored that message, the next one, and the one after that. It's been a month since the last message, and I still have yet to receive a response. I think their communication is poor and their business practices in lying are deceptive.

Great place for social Hangouts, unique menu however the food does not taste anything special

Awesome little restaurant. I am not a vegan myself but found the boscaiola pasta as good as any other, with great prices and generous portion sizes. Must try!!

I recently went on a Sydney Vegan tour in Newtown. Have you seen part 1 of my tour? Part two takes us to the next two stops at Dr Earth and also Deepgroove Newtown. Our tour leader Anna continues the walking tour in Newtown and I am getting my steps up. It's been some time since I've been in Newtown so I'm enjoying the walk along King St. There's a lot of individualism in Newtown that I've always appreciated.

Lovely owner, great portions with fantastic flavour. I loved the creamy mushroom pasta!! Cheap happy hour too 🥰 would definitely return

After a gig at the Vanguard, Deep Groove was our choice of venue for drinks and a bite to eat. A licensed venue, it is a spacious and comfortable spot to kick back and relax. We had the grazing board and a couple of different tasty small plates including zucchini koftas and smoked cigars of stuffed chilli black bean and caramelised potato, plus some raw desserts. Everything on the menu is either vegetarian or vegan.

Both the food and cocktails were very much below average. The Margarita cocktail must have been the worst we've ever tasted and the Yuzu cocktail tasted like lemonade. For food we tried the Cheese platter, which was very disappointing as there was barely any cheese. The board was mainly filled with pickled vegetables and olives. Would definitely not return.

I've tried out Deepgroove twice - the first was to smash a great plate of vege nachos late one evening, and the second was for a proper dinner.<br/>The food is absolutely delicious - we had the pizzas, the tahini cauliflower (must must MUST order this! It's so good), and the beetroot patties. Everything was fantastic and there was a great mix of vegan and vegetarian food, with the ability to make everything vegan. <br/>Nice ambience and good drinks as well, and the staff is super friendly. We'll definitely be going back soon.

Avoid at all cost. Food took 2 hours to arrive because the stoned waiter forgot, none of the wait staff wanted to take drink orders as they were busy socialising in the back. food was dull to average.

First try to eat in here! Whole based plant , vegan and dairy free cafe in Newtown! Love the place and ambience . I ordered no bun red magic and naked lasagna. Their favourite red magic made from beetroot veggie patty, with lettuce, lotus root and cheese in burger stack. <br/>The naked lasagna made from all veggies with cheese, coconut and tomato juice. <br/>Love it .

Went here for the first time a couple of weeks ago due to the line up at the Marlborough being ridiculously long.  What a great little find!!! Bar staff are super friendly and the cocktails are great.  The whole concept of picking a record for them to play is quirky and lots of fun.  Am returning again very soon.
