Great vegan food!

This is a little hole in the wall place in Homestead that serves Jamaican and Haitian food. They have a vegan menu. We stopped in and were pleasantly surprised by the veggie empanadas, jerk tofu with rice and plantains that we tried. Nice to see yummy vegan options in Homestead!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Affordable , Delicious

How do they do it?

After seeing other reviews we knew we had to go here. I had Leon’s Lentils and my husband had vegetable curry. I’m not sure what kind of magic they work back there in the kitchen but the flavors are divine. I second what others have said about the fresh juice. It’s amazing! Turmeric, lime, mango and LOVE. The owners were so inviting it felt like you were going to your best friends moms house or your favorite aunt and uncle. They were wonderful! Busy place on a Saturday night but they accommodated everyone quickly.

Pros: Authentic and flavorful, Extremely kind, Something new and different

Wish I could do 5 stars—not fully vegan so 4!!

This Caribbean restaurant has a full vegan menu & it is delicious! Jerk tofu, vegetable empanada and festival (fried dumplings). Don’t sleep on this small gem of a spot.

Wish I could give 5 stars!

Just GO. You won't regret eating here. The food is ridiculously flavorful in the best way and the owners are the sweetest people! I had the Jerked Tofu and my boyfriend had Leon's Legumes. We also ordered the plantains with spicy slaw and a veggie empanada. Everything was insanely delicious! Also GET THEIR DAILY MADE JUICE! I can't remember what she said was all in it but I know it has ginger, turmeric, passionfruit, and I believe mango. Vegan options are all clearly listed and there are plenty😄

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options, Super friendly staff and owners, Huge portions

Leon's Legumes

My favorite dish, recommended to me last time I was here, and now it's my staple: Leon's Legumes. Their plantains with spicy slaw are also epic. This time I had an amazing juice made with mango, tumeric and ginger, perfect, cooling and feels good to my gut.

Wait staff is friendly, best experience is eating in, even waiting indoors for your food is a sweet salve. Two areas with barstools for smaller parties / solo dining. I love this place!

Pros: Lots of vegan options!, Great atmosphere and staff, Leon's legumes! Juices!

Cons: Gets crowded, South Florida problem: styrofoam for to-go

Tasty and huge portions

There were so many vegan options with tofu and veggies. The owner was so friendly, I love supporting small, family run businesses. The food was EXACTLY what i wanted: protein, salad and rice. I’m not big into rice usually so I was so surprised when this rice had me going for multiple bites. I got the curry tofu (not the one with veggies). I also got a side of the slaw but it was too spicy for me.

Pros: Vegan protein and veggie options, Friendly, Big portions and authentic taste

Cons: Too much rice , Small space (not good for groups), Serves meat :(

מסעדה מעולה

אגף טבעוני ברור ומסומן היטב בתפריט. יש מנות גמאיקניות וגם הודיות. אוכל מעולה מעולה.

Pros: הרבה אופציות טבעוניות וסימון ברור של החלק הטבעוני , אוכל מהמם, הכי טוב שאכלתי בטיול בארה"ב, שירות מקסים וחברותי.

Cons: מושלם בעיני. למי שלא אוהב חריף תבקשו בלי

A Welcome Treat

The very friendly host talked us through the menu and made good suggestions. The place is small, but seemed to be doing lots of takeout orders. Sorry they were out of the veggie empanadas. Leon’s Legume is unique and very good. Served with brown rice. Curry lentils (white rice) also very good; also spicy.

Pros: Highlighted vegan section on the menu board, Welcoming host, Great food

Cons: Small, so might have to take out

Lots of vegan options

Wall menu has a clearly marked “vegan corner” with about 10 vegan options. There were a variety of options with and without tofu and some were spicy and others not. Nice portion sizes. Server was very friendly. They offer eat-in or takeout. Pricing was very reasonable.

Wonderful little gem hidden away in Homestead

This place is hidden in a storefront but it’s absolutely delightful. Has a large vegan menu clearly marked, great fruit juices, and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit (or many)!

Pros: Dedicate Vegan Menu, Delicious Haitian/Jamaican food, Friendly Service

Cons: Too far away from me! 😢

Veggie curry uses frozen vegetables

They have many vegan options. But don't order veggie curry. They use frozen vegetables for it. I also tried Leon's Legume, because the owner said that that was his favorite. It was just over-cooked sauteed vegetables. It's way overpriced for $11.

Loved it

My family and I loved this great little restaurant. There is a separate veg menu in large print on the wall and I believe it was the owner himself who waited on us and was very helpful. All the dishes were flavorful and delicious, and even our kids who had never had this kind of cuisine before loved the food- especially the dishes with tofu in them.

Excellent food!

There was a dedicated list of vegan entrees. We had lentils and jerk tofu and both were great. Great service. The lighting was a little dark, but not terrible.

Good, but I don’t get the hype

Owner very nice, food is okay and probably the best option in homestead, but the 10th best restaurant on yelp? - come on! If you’re hungry, go there, it’s fine. But you won’t miss anything if you skip it. Seating is also not that nice.

Excellent mon ami!

Whole vegan menu with too many yummy choices. Opted to share the Curry Lentils and the Tofu Jerk Chicken. Both did not disappoint. The vegan empanada was amazing. Was surprised the plantains were NOT greasy.
Good job!!

Pros: Taste, Large portions, Large menu

Cons: A bit run down in side.

Go!

Found this little place thanks to Happy Cow and so glad we did. A tiny little place that was jam-full and we can see why. I highly recommend the Jerk Tofu! (pic of vegan menu attached)

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Reasonable prices, Good welcome
