Fantastic ‘hole in the wall’.

I say hole in the wall because it’s easy to kiss among the more prominent restaurants in Little India.
However, it has a front patio, a lovely backyard garden patio, main floor and upstairs seating as well. So it’s not small.
While there, a quaint little bazaar was happening in the gallery. So lots of boho character!
My friend found the place on Google, so we decided to give it a try.
He’s not vegan, but wanted to eat more veg and healthy.
We both really enjoyed our food and drinks!
It was good service with a smile. They took pride in their work and environment.
I had a burrito, strawberry/rhubarb muffin, mocha with soy and an Americano. All very simple and tasty!
He had the pretzel with tempeh, black coffee, espresso and a smoothie. He says it was all delicious as well.
I’ll put pics here of all we ate. Overall we were both very happy and enjoyed an engaging conversation in the peaceful setting.
I’ll be back for sure!

Delicious but not filling

I got the Indian bowl and it was super delicious. Though I found her a little skimpy on the chickpeas. I was going to get a muffin until I saw them and they were basically like the small ones I would make it home and didn’t bother. Worthwhile going to if you’re in the neighborhood and need us a very light lunch.

Pros: All vegan , Decent price

Cons: Not filling

Really Enjoyed

I love the decor it’s really natural and homey. I had the Asia bowl, it was filling and yummy. Great vegan options, they have baked goods and make lattes with almond milk. I would definitely visit again.
