• Eclectic and Vegan

I went here for the first time as part of a birthday party--a group of about 20 folks. The restaurant is fairly small, and business was brisk. The menu is limited: It has mostly raw vegan offerings, plus a few Daily Specials that are hot. I ordered one of the specials: Organic curry lentils over organic coconut rice served with organic kale salad and baked plantain. My biggest problem with eating out in restaurants is that the food is never hot (in terms of temperature). I like my food to be very hot, which is why I cook a lot of my food at home in a wok. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time to get our food (about 45 minutes), and my dish was just lukewarm when it arrived. Granted, we had a big group, which may have caused the delay, as well as the cooling off of my food. The taste of my dish was great. Funny, but the greens in the kale salad tasted more like collards. And I don't recall getting a baked plantain as part of my dish. I found the $10 price for my dish to be very reasonable, considering it was vegan and contained mostly organic ingredients. The menu includes a variety of unusual vegan wraps, which you can get wrapped in your choice of lettuce, seaweed, or collard greens. I found the menu a bit confusing because of the various choices among the wraps. Not much ambiance, but worth checking out. As far as I know, this is the only vegan restaurant in Durham. This is a locally owned, minority owned business.
