enjoyable and unique vegan food - Edit
A vegan take on soul food which is really quite good. They make use of seitan and tofu quite nicely though my only complaint is the use of highly processed agave. Very casual and usually plenty of street parking. This place is a must for vegans.

Pleasantly Pleased - Edit
Visiting the Glen Burnie/ Baltimore area for the weekend my vegan husband, omni mother in law, and I (vegan) stopped in to The Land of Kush for lunch and were all pleasantly pleased. I ordered the combo ($10.99-- one entree + 2 sides) of seitan ribs, mac n cheese, and collard greens (really liked my entire plate). my husband and mom in law had the rice and beans which they said was yummy, my husband liked the yams (I and my mom in law thought they were ok, not great), and my husband also got the friday special (spinach lasagna---yummy!). My omni mom in law also had the sweet potato cake and loved it (this was her very first vegan meal ever and she was surprised by how much she liked it--and couldnt get over the seitan ribs texture lol). I definitely recommend this restaurant, being soul food it was an added bonus.

Really wanted to love it, but only liked it - Edit
I've been dying to go to Land of Kush for a while but am never really in that neighborhood. I was nearby yesterday so decided to finally give it a try. Well, sad to say, I was sort of disappointed.
Read moreFood: 7. I choose the platter (which was $10.99, so it seems they raised it a dollar from when I read reviews about it). They did not have the sweet and sour seitan, which is what I wanted to try, so I decided to try the special: "turkey" and gravy. It was more like a turkey stew than a Thanksgiving style turkey. I found it TOO realistic, meat-wise. I did not like it much. I choose candied yams and mac and "cheese" as my sides. The candied yams were average. The only thing I actually really did LOVE about my meal was the mac and cheese... it was very realistic in terms of taste and texture.
Price: 7. While $10.99 is a lot to spend on lunch, I have to say that they gave me a FULL plate of food. In general, prices seemed a bit high but not super high compared to other veg*n places.
Atmosphere: 7. Kind of plain. Cozy enough, though. I don't like the neighborhood very much, though (e.g. I wouldn't feel too safe walking by myself a few blocks away from it at night... even during the day when I was there I felt like I was stared at in strange ways by passers-by).
Service: 8. Not sure what to say since really all the staff person at the register did was scoop my food onto a plate, hand it to me, and have a monetary exchange. Not particularly friendly but not particularly unfriendly.
Updated from previous review on Sunday October 09, 2011: I have been back to Land of Kush once since this review, and I had the same experience of the mock meat being TOO realistic for me. So I recommend the mock meats only to people who like realistic mock meats.
Pros: All vegan, Realistic mock meat and dairy
Cons: Pricey, Not the best neighborhood

Vegan Soul Food - Edit
I give Land of Kush 4 stars and myself 1 star (for lack of self-control).
Read moreHeads up: ribs are heavy, portions are huge, collards are truly...collards (not oily is what I mean), sweet & sour seitan was perfect (i.e. you'll want to order a medium)
I deducted 1 star, b/c there is SO MUCH PLASTIC AND WASTE. This is 2011 -- shouldn't we be a bit more concious a/b our environment?

**NEW REVIEW 10/24/11
They have down-sized on the plastic. Now, if you eat in, you can dine using their plates and bowls. Awesome! Still hoping for silverware instead of plastic, but I'm happy they've made changes. Also, I just highly recommend mixing the bbq with rice, because it's heavy. Wonderful, but heavy nonetheless.
Pros: Good portions (size medium), Healthy options (smoky collards, raw kale), Extra saucy (great to mix w/ rice)
Cons: Plastic Usage

Great range of fast food - Edit
The Land of Kush is a sort of fast food restaurant in the sense that all of the dishes are pre-prepared (as far as I could tell, none of the food is made to order). The main dishes (entrees) consist of mock meat dishes made from soya and/or seitan, and are very filling. There is also a decent range of sides (e.g. rice and beans, candied yams, various vegetables) as well as healthy salads and wraps. The drinks are fresh, homemade and tasty.
Read moreI had a platter (one entree and two sides) which was excellent value at $9.99. The lady who served me was very friendly and I am really glad that I found this restaurant.
Note that it is actually open until 9pm, not 7pm as listed above.
Pros: great value for money, excellent range of dishes, friendly staff
Cons: not great for sit down meals
