So tasty - Edit
We had been wanting to come by for a while but were hesitant since few items on the menu are marked with VG. However, we were told many items on the menu can be vegan! We sat at a table outside which made the meal even better.
Read moreUpdate: We come regularly and enjoy every meal! We’ve had the curry, benachin, chu, peanut chu, and yassa all with tofu, as well as the plantains, akara fritter sandwich and many great desserts. On a given day they typically have 2 vegan desserts, the almond coconut cake is our favorite, you must order it if they have it! The blueberry hibiscus cake, mango cake, and pineapple upside down are also excellent. If you like very spicy then request the hot sauce on the side, it’s delicious and very potent so a little goes a long way!

A lovely neighborhood cafe with great vegan options. The owner is very helpful in guiding you to the best vegan dishes and the right amount of food. Especially enjoyed the peanut butter chu with tofu and the ginger-hibiscus mocktails.

Phenomenal - Edit
If I could give this place five stars, I would. The owner is vegan and very knowledgeable - and almost everything on the menu can be made vegan. The “tofu paneer” is vegan and can be added to any dish. The food is phenomenal and hearty. And there’s a great selection of amazing vegan desserts. #Veganuary

I would easily give this restaurant 5 stars, however, HappyCow does not allow 5 stars for non-vegan restaurants. The food is exceptional, and the flavor checks all of the boxes. Great location, ample seating, and multiple vegan selections including desserts. The owner is very thoughtful and welcoming. We will definitely frequent this establishment.

Great Food - Edit
It was such a delight to find this restaurant and I am positive we will be back to try more dishes.
Read moreAlmost all items are listed vegetarian but are really vegan. And much of the menu was gluten free including all of the cakes available for dessert (frosted cakes have cream cheese frosting and are not vegan).
We opted for the tofu in our dishes and that meant 3 large pieces. Paneer is the vegetarian option (along with meat choices as well). Both came with rice.
The Yassa was a delicious onion based stew with roasted carrot, cabbage, green olives and baby potatoes. For me, this was the winning dish.
The Peanut Butter Chu was a close 2nd. Another delicious stew with cabbage, carrot, and potatoes. It wasn't overpowering peanut butter but you knew it was there.
The Veggie Soup was thick, full of veggies and came with a delicious brown bread roll.
They had 3 vegan (non-frosted) cakes when we visited. The pineapple upside-down was ridiculously good. The chocolate raspberry was very good too. We didn't try the Mango cake (maybe next time).
Parking in front and on the side of the building.
Pros: Lots of vegan (90% of menu is vegetarian/vegan), Dishes made to order , Delicious food including vegan dessert options
Cons: No liquor license currently
