Good vegan fusion food. American favorites with Indian twist. Started with Gobi Manchurian which was flavorful and tender. For main course, noodle dish was standard, burger was very different and a must try. Jackfruit Tacos were served garnished with bhujia that gave it the Indian twist. Although that did not help much with the flavor. I felt it lacked some spice/salt. Quesedilla was good. Overall, an innovative menu with innovatively served dishes.

Perfect place for food lovers with vegetarian/ vegan/ gluten sensitive friends. I am a meat lover and this is by far the best vegetarian/ vegan restaurant. I loved their kale chips (I love kale too), carrot cake, and my mushroom special was perfect. Leftovers heated up nicely too. Easy to find parking on street. Wait staff were so helpful.

Gobi manchurian was out of this world! Musakka pizza was okay – eggplant was overpowered by feta. Jamaican jerk tempeh had a lot of food and flavor but the flavors were not for me. The menu is so unique. Check this place if you like to explore! Vegan and vegetarian friendly!

Overall it was good but not phenomenal. There were some dishes that I would come back for (Gobi Manchurian and Sesame-Encrusted Seitan Strips) and there were some that I wouldn’t bother getting again (Oyster Mushroom Calamari and Jamaican Jerk Tempeh).

The vegan waffles are 10/10, so creamy, soft and delicious. Incredible that they’re also gluten free. We came here for brunch after having ordered takeout for many years and we were not disappointed. It’s a small, unassuming location. Very low key. Delicious everything. Such a creative menu

A small and plain restaurant in the street. However, the food was really good.

I cant believe this restaurant is still open and called themselves a healthy vegetarian vegan gluten free restaurant. Lies! Don’t even come to this restaurant to dine in and don’t cater with them. You will be very disappointed and waste your money big time. First of all their food is disgusting and flavorless all items are unappealing they all look like vomit, are overpriced and tasteless. The place is so small, so uncomfortable and unbreathable. It’s so noisy and loud. People dining in, the waiter will put the rest of their food in a go to bag and none of the guests will take their food to go. The bags are all left behind on the tables. It is proof that their food is awful. The kitchen is so small, messy, dirty and unsanitary they have 10 people all squeezed sweating in there so gross. The owner is an Indu man named Pankaj Pradhan, he is so rude, full of ego, arrogant and disrespectful. He claimed that he used to be an IT and switch to becoming a chef he should of stayed in IT cause he has zero cooking skills. He is also very corrupted and take advantage of some of his employees. This establishment is modern day slavery. Don’t participate in it don’t buy their awful food. If you want to eat delicious vegetarian vegan food find somewhere else fast run! You have been warned!

This was an excellent place to enjoy delicious vegan food. We has lunch and started with the fried oyster mushrooms and they were expertly cut and cooked; we really loved them. I got the Zen Veggie Burger which was a really fun homemade spin on a patty! It was a weird color which I liked and it came with a nice side salad. The Street Food Roll Up (with falafel) was smothered in a delicious sauce and so really tasty. The thick cut sweet potato fries on the side were great! The Black Forest Cake was traditional and a nice end to our great meal. I can’t wait to eat here again!!

The food here was so delicious and filling, and pretty much everything is 100% vegan. We had the Hummus platter, Nirvana Delight, Pistachio & Coconut Herb-Encrusted Tofu, Shepherd’s Pie, and Orange Dream

Phenomenal! Very creative vegan meals that are actually good, like really good, really tasty, really filling. Can I have a red lentil cook book please? The service was very nice and pretty quick, the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. If you like vegan and vegetarian food, this place is top notch, and not terribly expensive. Keep in mind that if you’re going at peak times, it can get busy there. Overall, I had a great experience… Full 5 star recommendation!
