Best vegan food to date

If you have never been here it might seem confusing at first as it’s in A little mall like thing. But it’s so worth feeling lost for A second lol. The food is incredible every bite was delicious I even pours the left over juices into A cup to take home- it was that good! Highly recommend and can’t wait to make it back out there. Love this place.

Pros: Best food, Great prices for the portions, Very friendly owner and chef.

Cons: I felt lost walking up to the mini mall, It’s far away from me, I can’t make it that good

Quality & Flavor

High quality food served here. The Sac Nacho Stack nachos were finger-licking good. The walnut meat is so tasty!

I also tried the Jalapeño Burger, made with walnut meat as well. Delicious!

Prices are on the higher side.

One of the Best Burgers I’ve Had!

The burger- fried jalapeños, spelt bread, agave sauce, walnut patty- I got at Cul de Sac kitchen was better than any bbq I’ve ever had! The restaurant is in a small food court (conveniently right across from a dessert shop with vegan options), so there are a lot of sounds and smells to contend with. There’s only one chef, so it can take a little while to get food, but it’s worth the wait!

Pros: Absolutely delicious, Small, local business, Good range of options

Cons: Long wait for food, Smells from the meat cooking nearby

Amazing nachos!

Found this on a road trip west. The stall is inside the food court of this strip mall. Super friendly service and the best vegan nachos I’ve ever had.

I was scared at first to eat here because I have had bad experiences with walnut meat, but their walnut meat (I got the jalapeño burger) was amazing, I would def choose it over any beyond or impossible patty. I also had the bio mineral wrap, which was also 😚👌🏿

Food was great, but they're doing the alkaline diet thing. The raw nachos include cooked tortilla chips. The burgers and fries were very greasy. Whatever the mission is, it's not explicitly stated, so idk. Not health food. Water was $5 also. But I would go back.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Expensive, Alkaline

Tiny little restaurant in food court brings big vegan flavor

Unique flavors and ingredients really work in these well thought out meals. This place really does its own thing deliciously! You may never crave beef again but you'll crave one of these burgers!

Pros: Nice presentation, Delicious food , Unique and tasty

Cons: Everything made to order - not 'fast' food

I saw god

The nachos? Divine. The burger? Transcendent. Listen, Three Carrots is incredible but this got into a knock down drag out fight with three carrots in my heart and they both are still standing. Go here. Eat here. Cry here. This is my church.

Delicious

It took me a minute to find it because it is inside of the shopping mall. I was unaware of that but I called and the lady told me where it was.

I’ve never had cucumbers on nachos but let me just say, I’ll definitely be adding them from now on! The vegan nachos were amazing!! I’ll definitely be back!

Very disappointing

We ordered an appetizer of French fries with some toppings, a half order of stir fry and a burger with side of stir fry but they gave us side of fries instead. Waited an hour and finally just wanted to leave but they said they were plating our food & would put in go containers. That took literally another 20 minutes. There was one cook. Three different people walked in after us and ordered and left while we sat there waiting .
So after the hour we basically said we wished we had known this would take over an hour to get good...the cook was incredibly rude and condescending saying we can’t expect it to be fast, it’s not fast food and we don’t understand how that place works. He said we had such a big order that it was easier to work on the other smaller orders that were coming in after ours. Made no sense. We were so disappointed. Food was ok. Burger was overcooked and dry. Stir fry really needed something with it like rice or something. Fries were good. Paid $56. Also got a small coconut water and small chakra shake which did taste good. We literally spent an hour and almost 30 minutes there and then took the food home after 30 minutes drive home had to reheat everything in the oven then do a bunch of dishes. Love to do that when I pay to eat out. Ugh!

Cons: Incredibly slow, Rude

Nice find on the East side of Indy/Lawrence

Was surprised to find this place on Happy Cow. It can be easy to overlook this place as its in a strip mall that is currently being filled up with vendors. You must go inside of the mall to get to this along with other food joints located int the mall.

The walnut meat surprised me as this was the first time I had a "burger" made from it. My girlfriend and I went with the Pineapple Express and Gargantuan burgers. We both really enjoyed the options we choose.

The only bad thing I had to say is that it took almost 20 minutes for our food to come up. As long as you plan ahead that should not be an issue. Have ate at several other places that have vegan fare that the wait has been well over that. When I stopped there were only 2 people working the booth and just starting into dinner time.

We are definitely going to stop by and visit this place again on future occasions. You should give them a try yourself!

Pros: walnut "meat" great alternative to normal , friendly staff

Cons: Hard to find in the "strip mall"

Really good food

It’s to right in the strip mall, if you can’t find it, but the food is really good and the people who worked there were very friendly! The nachos and the burger were awesome we will be back! They have some cookies from a baker also that are really good.
