Wow! This place blows expectations out of the water. Service is quick, since the food is served cafeteria style, the taste, texture, everything was perfect. Don't let the cafeteria style format and plastic cutlery turn you off, this is a must visit in the DMV.

Yummy food, and so many options! I ordered enough food for three meals and I'm so glad I did!

I got the country friend steak, Mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes and they were all amazing. The best vegan Mac and cheese I've ever had, by far. Definitely give this place a try!

It is as good as the reviews say it is, will definitely be going back. Got the chicken and even without sauce was some of the best I ever had. The Mac and cheese also was incredible.

BBQ ribs were delicious. Mac n cheese very moorish.

It wasn't what I expected, they gave me the wrong sandwich and the food was just, simple. I will say the yams were great though. Veggie medley is

We went here before 7PM and the place closes at 8PM. There were very few choices. We got BBQ Tofu, Drummies and Mac n cheese. Drummies was good, didn't like the BBQ taste, Mac n cheese was just okay. Food was barely warm. Staff was friendly but it seemed to be their policy to close the kitchen around 7PM, we had the only premade items to choose from. Wanted to like this place, but sadly disappointed. Might try again.

We enjoyed the food so much there but we didn’t enjoy the service. The lady who was serving the food had the worst attitude ever, and my friends tried to cheer her up and at one point she laughed then she was like “ no I will keep my attitude”.

The mac and cheese is to die for. The vegan fried chicken is also delicious! They have such a wide array of options it's hard to pick just one! Desserts are worth it as well.

Improvements are working! I stopped going here because the quality of food began to be horrible, and I'd get food that was going bad, spoiling in my plate! Went yesterday on a whim and they'd cleaned out the whole back area, which has an unsanitary look anyway, and the food was in the front area. Looking better and back to tasting amazing! Will be going back now, to see if changes consistent. Excellent vegan cuisine!
Everything this restaurant serves is extremely delicious. I've tried several items and there is nothing that I didn't love. If you're in the area, go check them out, and make sure you get some mac and cheeze!

Fell off so bad, I remember my first time trying nuvegan I was obsessed I made trips to Dc almost every weekend, things slowly started to get worst and worst. Ordered today with DoorDash and couldNot believe how bad it was, The country fried steak, the breading was non existent. Literally taste like a plain piece of tofu. The lasagna was 95% vegan meat no pasta. The crab cake sandwich was so dry, Just really disappointing

One of my absolute favorite spots in DC. Love the vegan food I can't get enough. Good vibes, great service and even better food.Vegetarian options: Great variety of vegan options.

NuVegan definitely sets the standard for vegan soul food, and other restaurants should be taking notes. The Mac and Cheese was creamy and rich, and the Sweet Potatoes were flavorful and well spiced. The chick'n drummies were great, too. Just be aware that there are many sauce and flavor options for the chick'n. You won't be asked what flavor, offered a sauce, or told it's an option. It's written small on the menu on the wall, though. My dining partner had the lemon pepper flavor, as well as BBQ and Buffalo sauces. Their favorite was the lemon pepper. I'm so jealous! I need to come back to try all the flavor options. The food here is very filling, portions are generous, and the pricing is perfect. Even the environment is pleasant and laid back. The only thing I didn't like was the cinnamon roll. I loved the size (it's massive), but it was completely stale, and even the frosting was unusually hard. The cornbread was a better option, it was deliciously soft and had a very classic flavor. Updated from previous review on 2023-05-26
