About Chickpea
Winner of “Best Vegan Meal” 2026. Runner up 2026 in “Best Value for Money”. Chickpea’s homemade soups, salads, weekly specials and the steadfast menu staples of herby falafel fried to order, with house pickles, ferments, and grilled veggies lovingly cradled in sourdough flatbreads and fluffy pitas are perfect for a satisfying lunch or decadent takeaway. Cheerful service is the icing on the cake. The best kind of ‘fast food’ is more often than not the oxymoron of slow food done well. Even before you dig into one of their hefty wraps, you’ll see that Chickpea is a rare unicorn in Icelandic dining. Here is a business that refuses to take shortcuts of any kind, instead serving up fresh, flavourful, good-for-you food that just happens to be vegetarian.
