The food is delicious and the dishes are also mostly whole food plant based. Some added oils but the food was not greasy! I highly recommend it for the strictest of the vegan fanatics.

Was looking for vegan food in Asheville and came across this gem! I had the salad plate, which was as varied as it was delicious. I also ordered the Tempe Rubin and was so impressed I am going there again tomorrow to have another one!

Nice menu, decent food - Edit
I would rate it good, not great (but the rating options go from fair to very good). In our group of 3, I had the tofu avo sandwich (excellent), the veggie burger was not great, the buffalo cauliflower was not crispy. The setting is nice - we sat outside. The menu sounds amazing and staff was friendly.

OG vegan! - Edit
Vegan food has come a long way, but sometimes it’s nice to eat the simple plant based dishes of my baby vegan days. As always, I had the family favorite and it was perfect. They’ve also kept up with the atmosphere- it was light and airy with excellent service

Yay! Vegan food! - Edit
Food is great! The Belly Full with avocado is perfect filling and simple. I also got a piece of chocolate chip cake that was delicious. I don’t know how they do their frosting but it’s creamy and light. I ate here twice and the second time I got the cornbread and the patty melt. The patty melt needed a little hot sauce but was delicious and the cornbread was yummy.

Pros: Food, Service, Price
Cons: Would have liked a small flight option

pretty good restaurant but moderately high prices for what you get. - Edit
Service: 3/5, Quality: 4/5, Value: 2/5
Read moreVegan Options: 4/5
Overall: pretty good restaurant, moderately high prices for what you get, but food is good.
Longer version:
Service- you fill your own water, bus your own table, get your own to-go boxes. I really like this. Let's normalize this. But i mark 3/5 because their payment processor asks for tips. I didn't find that out until after I tipped and was left wondering what I tipped for.
Quality- food was mostly good. I got the house burger which is advertised as a house made patty but it is suspiciously like Aldis earth grown brand veggie burger. And i mean i couldn't tell the difference. The owner did confirm that it was all made from scratch. Now don't get me wrong--The burger was good but failed my expectations of a house made burger that i could've bought from the store. Rest of the food was pretty good.
Value- i left full but the price is quite high for what you're getting.
Vegan options- most things are vegan but some are not and clearly labeled. I only rate full points for all vegan restaurants.

Pros: fill your own water (i LOVE this), good quality food

Great portions and tasty vegan food - Edit
I think the prices are very reasonable for the portions. Two of us came hungry and shared the grill cheese, seaweed salad, and curry plate. We left full with leftovers.
Read moreGot some desserts to go and they were a little dry and lacking flavor, tbh. We either just couple of bad items or dessert is not their speacialty. Savory food was on point though!

We stopped here for appetizers and got the vegan queso and chips as well has the buffalo basket. Would highly recommend the buffalo basket, as the cauliflower was perfect and the ranch was delicious.

Pretty good vegan gluten-free dishes - Edit
In the heart of downtown Asheville. You order at the counter and they bring it to the table. The menu consists of traditional dishes and sandwiches. Everything we had was pretty good. Love the fact that they offer a dish to anyone in need!

Decent - Edit
Rosetta’s is a nice space with friendly service. As an appetizer, I had the Veggie Nuggets, which were a bit oily and lacked texture. For the entree, I had the large Family Favorite, which had quite substantial portions of sautéed greens, mashed potatoes with gravy, and tofu. Overall I didn’t love it. Many people seem to love this place, so I’d say to order less at first and see how you feel about what you’re getting.

It’s so wonderful to find a place to eat plant-based /vegan and that in addition tastes good! We had the burger and the tofu sandwich on sourdough. Both delicious. Also loved their carrot cake.

Really good portions and kombucha! - Edit
I had The Mountain and split the queso as an appetizer. Queso is not very cheesy if that’s what you’re expecting, but it seem like that’s their goal; it’s still good, just different. The Tempeh itself is a little bland on the inside but the sauce and kale make up for it. The kombucha is local and the flight is 6 different types for a really reasonable price. I tried my friend’s portobello mushroom plate and that tasted amazing. Would get that if I went again.
