Great bar food - Edit
Great options and a place I would visit frequently if I lived near-by. Went with a bunch of non-vegans and everyone enjoyed. Servings are very large so don’t be afraid to share. Bowls are full of yummy things. There s nothing I would steer away from. Solid and happy they had NA beers.

Great gluten free options - Edit
Being vegan and gluten free is certainly a pain, so it was nice to see that they have a lot of gluten free options here. I tried their GF buffalo chikin sandwich and fries and loved them both. Will definitely come again.

The entire menu is vegan so I was safe to order anything. I had the schnitzel and took home some vegan jerky and nut butter.

Amazing lunch! - Edit
We've eaten here several times, and this time was the best yet. I told the cashier how much we loved it and he said they are their best yet because of the crew. They live what they do and put their heart into the food! We got the BBQ chicken sandwich and the soul bowl. Amazing!

The best vegan restaurant in the Chicagoland area - Edit
There hasn’t been a dish at Manna Kitchen that we didn’t like. Great assortment of appetizers, main courses and housemade desserts. They also offer vegan snacks and candy bars on the go. We also buy our Manna Bread there.

Unhygienic - Edit
I ordered takeout on October 4, 2024 at around 6-7 pm and found two different pieces of hair in my food. The hair was embedded in the food in two different boxes and not the same thickness, color, or length that the hair from anyone in my household has so there is no chance they landed there after opening the boxes.
Read moreThis was on top of getting my order wrong. The person on the phone repeated the order back to me - two crispy BBQ chicken sandwiches, one with pickles and one without. When picking up the order, the worker apologized for not making the second sandwich when questioned why they only made one. They asked if the second sandwich should “also have no pickles” obviously implying that they thought there was only one sandwich without pickles made. Instead, at home I found that both had pickles.
I called the restaurant the next day. They answered and asked if they could put me on hold. I said yes. I was then put on hold for over 20 minutes, at which point I hung up as I’m clearly not worth their time.
I WAS a regular customer and have ordered here probably about 50 times. I never leave bad reviews for getting my order slightly wrong or forgetting part of the order, but I will leave a bad review due to the grossness of finding two separate pieces of hair on two different foods. Do better.

Good American style - Edit
I went there with my cousins who are not vegan, I am... we were all satisfied and happy. I got the tower burger and sweet potato fries. Can recommend. The panang curry also looked good. We got also the sweet chili cauliflower wings which were so tasty and not spicy.

Wide variety of vegan options - Edit
I have ordered pick up and delivery. Staff is friendly and the place is clean. Nice open seating area.
Read moreI've tried multiple burgers and fries, cauliflower wings, donuts, and a cookie. Good portions but overpriced for a burger. Still love to support vegan restaurants. I believe they got rid of their Manna burger which was my favorite.

Delicious and fantastic variety - Edit
Manna Kitchen is a treasure in the western suburb of Lisle, IL. The entirety vegan menu also offers many gluten-free options. There is a tasty array of appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, sandwiches, specials, and dessert/bakery items. The menu includes an array of international dishes, as well as burgers, and cauliflower wings. The restaurant has excellent house-made seitan and baked goods.
Read moreWe had French onion soup, chili-spiced cauliflower wings, the kale salad, and the crispy bbq chickn seitan sandwich, along with carrot cake. The flavors and preparation was spot on, and the portions are very generous. Definitely worth the visit! The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. #Veganuary

Not many vegan places nearby - Edit
A group of us tried a hotdog, some fried chicken, fried cauliflower (my favorite), a burger and a banh mi. I don’t typically go for fried cauliflower but theirs was fantastic. A friend I was visiting apparently always orders multiple servings of the fried chicken because he thinks it’s the best vegan chicken and saves it

Just so, so good. - Edit
I have about a 30 minute commute to work, and there’s really no vegan restaurants or choices close to me. So I Grubhubbed Manna Kitchen for the first time and was so surprised! I’ve worked close to them for so long and had no idea! I devoured everything! 😅 Definitely ordering again.

We had the tortilla soup, fries, bbq wings, and chikn sandwich and all were yummy. My husband is not vegan and he liked the sandwich. The soup was the best I think!

Great for Spoiling Yourself - Edit
We love to eat here to celebrate special occasions without having to travel to Chicago. Given our budgets, we can't go here often, but we aren't disappinted when we get to stop by.
Read moreWe loved the manna burger back when it was on the menu, but the tower burger is a very decadent new addition. The icing on their cakes have always been so creamy and sweet, so consider trying a cake slice if you haven't. Their mac and cheese has also gotten really good. Would definitely get it again. My favorite app is the sweet chili cauliflower wings, deliciously crunchy, but the portions are too small for the price. Also, the staff are always very polite when we go!
Pros: Variety of options, Tasty food, Friendly staff
Cons: Pricey, especially for smaller portioned items

We've dined here a couple of times and would do so again. While they do have fried food and faux meats, they also have WFPB items.

Lots of vegan options but little vegan quality - Edit
You know when people talk about quality over quantity? I feel like this need to be reminded to the owners. There were many options +20 But the dishes were not the best in terms of portions, seasoning, and consistency. I saw someone order the panang curry bowl and asked the server to have what ever they did and when mine came out the presentation was not what the other people had. The taste was okay but lacked seasoning and sadly if I had gone to a curry restaurant it would have tasted much better..so don’t get this if you go. My boyfriend got the Greek salad and he liked it! The salad was not messed up but the portion size for a entree salad was SMALL.. we could have gone to another restaurant and got a salad of better quality. We were visiting Naperville so we will not be back.
