• Excellence!

I got 3 sides, which came together in a large bowl. RED CHILI GLAZED SWEET POTATO: This dish was highly delectable. It was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, with neither flavor overpowering the other. Excellent flavor. Superb! SAUTÉED SPINACH: I requested extra garlic and it was perfect. No bland, rabbit leaves here. Flavorful, lightly seasoned to perfection, and cooked just right, this dish is Popeye approved. INDIAN SPICED CAULIFLOWER: I requested this dish without the dates and almonds but was told that it was mixed into whatever it was that was served with this dish. For me, this was fine. I am not allergic, I just prefer to avoid them if I can. I actually forgot that the nuts (dates and almonds) were even supposed to be in this dish until I started writing the review. I didn’t see any. I didn’t taste any. Either they CAN omit them, or they are so finely ground into the sauce or seasoning that they are undetectable to a non-allergic throat. (Hence, if you have a nut allergy, you shouldn’t risk it.) This dish was quite savory. Personally, I could have used a stronger (hotter) spice, but the dish was still very good as is. Cauliflowers were not too raw, nor were they over-cooked. They were of a perfect softly crunchy texture. DESSERT: They have only one vegan dessert at this time. It’s called STRAWBERRY YUZU CHEESECAKE. It’s a raw vegan cheesecake topped with a strawberry glaze. Typically, I shy away from raw cuisine, but I gave it a shot and WOWZA! It is truly delicious! It’s sweet, a little tart, and a very good emulation of a baked cheesecake. I was very impressed. (Side note: Yuzu sounded Japanese so out of curiosity I looked it up. It’s a citrus fruit.) They could use more vegan dessert options, but I'm happy with the vegan raw cheesecake for now. Basically, I love this place. Not only was the food pretty amazing (and filling), but the service - friendly, smiling, helpful employees, were all just icing on the proverbial cake, and really made this a 5-star experience. Vegan items are clearly marked with a yellow circle with a line through it. The decor is lovely; very hippie-like. And dude, there is even a little resting place for your yoga mats! I especially loved the positive little messages written on their window panes. Needless to say, I’ll be back.
