Sadly - they are closed

We ate here several years ago and loved it, many great vegan options.

I just spoke with the owner (4/5/2024), their lease was not renewed and had to close.
He is looking for another location to reopen someday.

Delicious food with great views

Large and delicious portions. We had the fried eggplant appetizer (ate it before we remembered we didn’t take a picture), falafel platter and falafel plate. There are at least 2 dozen marked vegan options

Pros: very delicious fresh flavors , large portions and large selection, great ocean view

Cons: The fountain drinks taste like chlorine, the french fries were dismal at best

Many Vegan Options

Great menu with many clearly labeled vegan options. I had the Falafel Plate and it was super tasty with a great plethora of foods included. The owner was very nice and knowledgeable about veganism, as he has family members who are vegan. Also located right on the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk with a really great view of the ocean.

Pros: Clearly labeled vegan menu, Oceanside views, Reasonably priced

Nice February evening meal

Like the red lentil soup. The owner didn't write down our order and had to keep checking with us to make sure he had it right. Beautiful presentation of the grilled vegetable plate. Too much oil for me on the grilled vegetable plate.

Pros: Several vegan options, Talkative, helpful owner, Nice red lentil soup, lightly spiced

Cons: Wish they had more greens and options without oil

Cranky and Rude owner

The older man, assume he’s the owner, was extremely RUDE. Neither he or the waiter ever came back to check on us and the place was NOT busy at the time. I will Never go back there. My vegan dish was swimming in oil. 🤮 The older man said his sin is vegan when I asked about vegan items. I wish his son was there to communicate with me. Hopefully he would be nicer.

Pros: They have vegan choices

Cons: Extremely Rude man. Very impatient.

Frozen vegetables

I ordered a roasted vegetable entree for $22 and received what looked identical to a Birds Eye Asian vegetable mix. Complained to the waiter and they did not argue disagree with the fact that they were frozen veggies and did not care.

Pros: Hummus, Location

Awesome Service

I had the falafel sandwich and hummus appetizer which was fantastic. The owner (I think) his son is vegan and once you mention you're vegan he has so many suggestions. It was such a friendly and accommodating atmosphere and they made an effort to make me feel right at home. I definitely will be back.

Pros: Vegan options are clearly labeled, Owner is very aware of what vegan is., Very friendly service

On the beach

The best thing about this place is the fact that it's right on the beach. I ordered a falafel platter with hummus and a salad to go, and ate it sitting on the sand in front of the water. The food was tasty and fresh.

Great vegetarian platters available.

I’ve eaten here at least a half a dozen times. Vegetarian platters include: Hummus, baba ganoush, eggplant, and more. Quite tasty! They also have a delicious lentil soup. Vegans will be quite satisfied.

Pros: On the Broadwalk of Hollywood Beach., Always good service and good food.

Delicious and Tasty Options

Most of the appetizers and salads can be made completely vegan by omitting the cheese and dairy products.

We had an eggplant appetizer, the lentil soup, 2 sides of rice and pita bread. We were satisfied.

Pros: great meals

Cons: wish they had more

great food and nice staff

We come to Hollywood Beach every year and this is one of our favorites. Nice people and really good food. I'd give 5* but HappyCow won't allow for non-vegan restaurants.

Boring and Unimaginative Overall

Red lentil soup is boring, uninspired, and overpriced. Spinach/cheese dish was awash in oil. Vegan options are extremely limited. Nothing here to write home about and certainly nothing worth returning for.

Not too bad

Only a few began options, but what we had was good. There is not much for vegans on the boardwalk, so this is your best bet. Mediterranean food.

Pros: Location

Cons: Needs more vegan items, Pricey
