Best Burgers! - Edit
I haven't had a thing here I didn't love. But I'm seriously obsessed with their Woodland Burger. Cheesy mushroomy goodness. Yum!
Pros: My go to for delivery for vegan burgers!

Cons: ...sorta sterile in decor and seating.

Amazing great food! - Edit
They make everything in house, including the feta. They ferment their feta and we could not tell any difference from the dairy version. Their bacon is also in-house and is exceptional with smoke and maple forward. Perfect texture. So many wonderful menu options. Wish we could have stayed longer and tried everything!
Pros: 100% plant-based with superb flavors
Cons: Parking, but a surmountable challenge. They are aw

Great Lunch & Brunch Option - Edit
I've visited Kal'ish twice so far - once for lunch and once for Sunday brunch.
My favorite thing I've tried so far is the Woodland Burger. The Jackfruit Slider was good, but a bit too sweet and chunky for my taste.
For brunch, their version of Chicken and Waffles was great! I've been wanting to see this on a menu for some time now. The only downfall is that they served it with gravy and I was expecting syrup. I also sampled my husband's Biscuits and Gravy which was good but it only had one biscuit and the vegan eggs weren't really seasoned.
Overall, I've had a wonderful experience both times. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, the food is good. For the quality of food, the prices are a bit steep for me, but I'm willing to look the other way since they offer a 100% plant-based menu with classic comfort food options.
Note: This is a great place for brunch, even with groups of people. There were plenty of empty seats when I got there at around noon (both inside and outside). A lot of people seem to take their food to go so it doesn't seem to get crazy busy when you dine-in.
Pros: 100% vegan
Cons: pricey for fast food

Great for lunch! - Edit
My omnivore friend and I enjoyed a great lunch yesterday. I had the meatball sub and he had the daily special (grilled cheese, tomato bisque and salad). We both enjoyed our meals - everything was delicious!
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Clean, bright seating area

Fast, tasty, 100% vegan food - Edit
This is a fast food restaurant with a 100% vegan menu. They serve burgers, fries, sandwiches, wings, etc. They also have breakfast all day. They food is fresh, tasty and well put together. Definitely worth a visit. I added pics of the menu. There's virtually nothing gluten free, other than a salad. One of the burgers can be GF without the bun.
