ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

If you go you have to get the drum stix! I ordered them with my meal and also got some to go. I brought family who is not vegan and they loved it just as much! I wish I could give more stars. One of the best vegan restaurants I have had ever

Pros: Everything

I wish I had two stomachs

We started with the fried grits. Spouse got the jerk chicken sandwich and I got the soul bowl with jerk tofu, Mac and cheese and greens. The grits were so good with the tomato sauce on top. The Mac and cheese was closer to a cheesy pasta but still so delicious and the tofu - omg. My mouth wanted to keep eating but my stomach ran out of room. Definitely coming back!

Good food, great service.

In My Top 2 vegan restaurant in Chicago area so far. Staff like to enjoy and care. Different food as what i'm used to. They do really good work with spices and flavours. Their desserts are really worth it too. Give it a try.

Pros: Sweet potatoes, Okras, Desserts

Cons: Little bit of side salad or green with, Burger would be nice addition.

Great!

I ate here in August 2018, and it was delicious! My non-vegan family member loved it, too!

Bright spot of my day: Jerk Tofu

Let me tell you about this jerk tofu! I could have ordered a bucket of this stuff and just sat in bed with it. The seasoning and smoke flavor is phenomenal. That and the fried okra was the bright spot to a dreary, rainy and windy day. I was the one vegan family member at the repast; Majani was my lifeline. The food was so good. I can’t wait to get back to the city for this same order.

Pros: Black owned vegan

Cons: Little pricy

Food was incredible!!!

I would highly recommend if you'd like to try soul food or if you're feeling! I ordered the soul Bowl with oyster mushrooms, greens, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes.

Pretty good food dine in experience basic takeaway

Really excited to try this place but was somewhat disappointed that it’s not a real restaurant so don’t be fooled by the pictures with real plates and cutlery. Dine in is just takeaway packaging and the forks really suck. Food was pretty good but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. If in the area and wanted takeaway I’d definitely do it again.

Delicious Soulful Food

Jerk Tofu Wrap with roasted sweet potatoes was delicious. Extra garlic sauce ots set it off. Greens and cornbread. Their collard greens are great but I thoroughly dislike that dry cornbread. I think it’s water cornbread, which was a staple in African American homes decades ago. Some like it, others, like myself, do not. There was a potato corn chowder soup special one day and it was amazing. I wish they’d make it a regular menu item. Last but not least, there’s this strawberry lemon cake that is one of the most amazing vegan cakes I have ever had. I definitely need them to make me a wedding cake with these flavors, even if there’s no groom: just me and this beautiful cake.

BBQ cauliflower wings

Amazing food and desserts. The bbq cauliflower wings are definitely a must. The oyster mushroom wrap is also delicious and lentil burger.

Best healthy vegan in Chicago

AND best vegan soul food, my favorite black owned vegan restaurant, and the best BBQ cauliflower wings on planet earth.

This place is incredible. The owners are so wonderful and kind, and the food is absolutely amazing. I would go here just alone for the BBQ cauliflower wings- they are that good. But everything else is great too, including my other favorite, THE GREENS! They also have fresh unique juices, a wonderful interior, and desserts! Everyone seriously needs to support this wonderful restaurant.

Pros: Best Vegan Soul Food, Black Owned , Friendly staff

Fast and tasty!

What’s not to like? Decent prices. Good portions. And fast delivery during the shutdown. We had the bbq cauliflower, beans & rice dinner, and the gyro. My brother got the gyro and LOVED it. He couldn’t believe it wasn’t meet. The cauliflower was quite good and I don’t tent to like bbq sauce.

Pros: Interesting menu, Reasonable prices , Tasty

Go for the cauliflower

Crispy BBQ cauliflower was to die for. A little underwealmed by the seasonings in the other entrees but worth going back for the cauliflower and to support a local vegan biz on the south side

So good!

This place was a great find! The black eyed pea fritters were a great appetizer, and the BBQ roast was so flavorful. My meat-eating friend really liked the gyro as well.

Can't wait to go back!

We went for brunch and it was really impressive! Some unusual things that were unique to their menu along with the classics. We are fortunate to have a good amount of amazing vegan breakfast/brunch options in and around the city, but I'd say this is without a doubt in my top 5 right now. I can't wait to go back for dinner as well.

great vegan food on the south side

We went for lunch. The barbecue fried cauliflower nuggets were delicious (and that's from someone who doesn't normally enjoy cauliflower). I had a great tofu and avocado sandwich. My spouse enjoyed her food, too.
