Great vegan options

The jerk tofu is really good, and I love how they'll throw in a random extra vegetable for variety.

Good options cooked fresh

Nice, clearly-labeled menu with a decent variety of vegan options. I've had the "nzuko tofu" a few times, and it doesn't disappoint.

Twas just ok

I didnt really love it.
I got the vegan delight plate.
It was kinda like a salad with falafel.
I wish I got the wrap instead.

4 Stars

Vegan Wrap and Mango smoothie were great. Staff is incredible. My toddler was asleep on my shoulder and clearly difficult to handle, so they offered to carry my food out to my car. The wrap is great if you want something less oily than a vegan plate.

Dry crunchy rice

Kudos for offering some options out here but it was hard to leave satisfied. Something was off about the curry tofu flavor: tasted like a plain salty sauce. The beyond burger was supposedly unimpressive and we couldn't even get a side of it's sauces on the sweet potato fries which all stuck together 😕

Pros: Compostable plates

Cons: Plastic cutlery, Underwhelming quality, Portion-sizes

Killer rice and beans

Jerk tofu and fried Palo twins were tasty. But the rice and beans were the star of the show -- made with coconut oil (I strongly assume) and a nice base of spices.

Pros: Diverse vegan and veg options, Portions

Cons: Plastic silverware :(

Good stop!!

We had a great meal. We had the falafel pocket, falafel burger, sweet potato fries, and fried plantains. All was really good but the falafel pocket was so good with hummus and fresh cabbage and sauce- yum.
We really enjoyed it!

Pros: Friendly staff , Cute vibe

Cons:

bland and expensive

Ordered the brown rice stir fry and it was bland (no flavor) and dry. Very little veggies. Not worth $11 for a cup of rice and 1/2 cup of veggies. I was starving even after I ate this meal. Only gave it two stars because the place is cute and clean. Won’t go back!

Pros: clean

Cons: expensive

just ok

I had the black bean burger with mushroom rice. It was PT disappointing as far as veggie burgers go. Green leaf right around the corner is much better. Burger was a big slab of bean and quinoa goo that didn't seem really browned at all just warm. It fell apart and didn't have much flavor.
They do have a whole vegan section so perhaps something else would be better but I figured a bean burger would be pretty safe.

Vegan Section of the Menu

Nzuko was great. The cashier was extremely friendly and helpful. She brought our food to the table and got us glasses of water and hot sauce. The hot sauce was amazing! Perfect blend of spicy and flavor. I had the falafel wrap and my fiance had the black bean burger plus we shared fried plantains. All of the food was great especially the mushroom rice she had with her burger. I will definitely return here when I'm in the area.

Pros: Amazing food, Great vibe and atmosphere, Very friendly staff

Cons: None
