Hidden gem

Way exceeded my expectations. I got the vegan sampler plate.

Falafel was perfectly done. Light and crispy but not too oily. Texture was just top notch. Hard to find well done falafel anywhere. Cauliflower was good, but I love all cauliflower. Good sauces and nice moist rice.

If I could order anything again, I would get a pita wrap with the falafel, cauliflower, lentils, and red sauce.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon in summer, so there were only a few other groups and the food was out in less than five minutes.

I would definitely come here again!

Good food, slow service and $$$

They have lots of vegan options (falafel bowl is my favourite) and the pickles and hummus are delicious, but, like all things on UBC campus, it’s a bit overpriced. Also, the service can sometimes be very slow.

Pros: Tasty food !

Cons: Overpriced , Slow service

Delicious and generous

They give you a hefty serving of great food. The roasted cauliflower is AMAZING. Can taste it as I type.

Great hearty vegan option on UBC campus near bus loop

Delicious food right near the UBC main bus loop. The falafel and fried cauliflower are great, and there are more veg options each time I go. Clearly labelled vegan items. One downside is that it seems like the meat and veg items are very close together with possible contamination, and employees do not change gloves between handling meat and veg items.

Pros: Great value, Very hearty food, Expaning veg items

Cons: Meat and veg proximate, contamination likely
