Stopped by for the first time on a Sunday at 2PM. Realized that they have a brunch menu only on Sundays. Nevertheless, I was able to try the gobi Manchurian and red lentil soup. Food: gobi manchurian 6/10. Taste was OK. Food was barely warm. Soup 5/10. Service: lacking. I understand the place is busy but it took quite long for someone to take our order, we were also not asked to move tables but rather given an order to move so another group could be accommodated, our food was cold because the waitress did not serve the dishes promptly she also did not bother to say anything after picking up the check that was right in front of me. Lastly, the cutlery, please replace and/or clean I could not tell exactly but the cutlery I got is in very bad shape. Overall, meh

We were lucky seated at the only available table on a Sunday afternoon. We weren't aware they only do brunch on Sundays, nonetheless the food was good. We had the gobi Manchurian which was cold as it was sitting at the kitchen for a while. The shakshula(shakshuka) was good and the lentil soup was good and served at the right temperature. The service was a 2/5 as the waiters took too long to take orders, bring food that was ready. The place was fully packed and the kitchen is doing a great job in keeping up with the rush. Would try again on a weekday for their regular menu

This is one of the best vegetarian restaurants I've had the pleasure of going to. The food was fantastic, and cane out quicker than you would think. I look forward to visiting again.

The food wasn't really interesting. Crispy tofu was greasy and rubbery.

We ordered 3 mains to eat family-style for 3 adults. There was so much wonderful food! Flavor and quality was top notch. A bit of a crowded dining room experience but it met the need and our table still felt comfortable and perfect for our experience.

WOW! I must say I was blown away with first checking out the website and admiring the amazing creations.... After our dining experience, my husband and I were even more blown away! What amazing and delicious food and beautifully presented as well!! You must go even if your diet is not vegan or vegetarian! Highly recommend... wish it was closer to home, but definitely worth the trip!!

We’ve eaten a few times at your place since moving to the area, food has been great every single time.I’ll cut to the chase.My partner is celiac.It would appear one of your staffs comprehension of the English language is not satisfactory enough to understand this.She took our order, peanut soup was ordered, we clearly stated no bread please on the side. When the soup arrived, bread was on the plate and the server has absolutely no idea what the issue was and didn’t know what to do. I removed the bread from my partners plate and told her it’s ok now and that I will eat the bread as I’m not celiac, she attempted to take away my plate, I again said it’s ok leave the bread I’ll eat it. The server then lifted my plate and took it away.We then ordered pizza, one gluten free and one ordinary pizza.The same server as before came over to our table, laid down the pizza she was holding and announced it was gluten free!!!30 seconds later, a tall blonde lady server comes over and announces that the pizza she is holding is gluten free!Summary, your server around 5ft with long black hair simply should not be taking orders for people with food allergies, it’s my observation that her grasp of English isn’t of a good enough standard.I did email however received no reply from 3 weeks ago.Dietary restrictions: Absolutely zero understanding by the member of staff who served us, others fully understood.

Pretty good food overall but I was more impressed with the flavor in the appetizers than in the main dishes.

The food was excellent here. When going out for a bite, I typically choose a place that has meat on the menu. With this being a vegetarian/Vegan restaurant, I was very surprised with the good food quality and prices of the meals. The Grande Nachos were awesome and full of flavor. We Also enjoyed the Mexican pizza. I enjoy white sauce pizzas more frequently than red sauce. This was a quality meal with spinach, mozzarella, corn, avocado, and the crust tasted like they made the dough there. Very satisfied with the food and how quick the service was. As for the atmosphere, the place was well decorated and had a decent amount of room for comfortable seating considering the amount of room in the restaurant. It was very cold in the restaurant for 40 minutes till We ended up asking for them to turn the heat on. Warmed right up. For a Saturday night the wait was not very long. About 30 minutes after we arrived around 6pm. There is no call ahead seating.

Ordered from Uber and paid the crazy markup hoping it would be worth it.The Shepherds pie was amazing. It was a little sweet with a great balance of flavors and a decent portion size. The Lasagna was just ok, good portion size but the sauce was bland and the noodles overcooked. It reheated well and was better with a bit more salt and pepper. The guacamole was bland and came in a tiny portion, it was definitely way overpriced. Overall I can only recommend the Shepherds pie, I would definitely order it again.
