“The best vegan dining experience I’ve ever had, and “I’ve been around the block”. From the time I walked in the door and was greeted by the hostess, from the server, the sommelier, the food, ambiance- everything was perfect. The food was unique, and delicious. (even my non vegan friend loved it) however, the presentation and service is what put the cherry on top. Just a one of a kind dining experience that will be very hard to top.“
“The crispy artichoke bowl is the best vegan food that I've had in DC. Artichoke was perfectly cooked and seasoned, with a great crunch. The bowl is by default half grains and half salad. I really liked the grains, so next time I will ask to see if the half salad can be substituted for all grains!I was also eyeing the desserts but opted out of getting anything, although they are still on my bucket list!“
“One of the best vegetarian fast food restaurants that serves delicious falafel is "shouk". The falafel made with a perfect blend of chickpeas, herbs, and spices, resulting in a flavorful and crispy exterior with a moist and tender interior. The texture is just right, neither too dry nor too mushy. Each bite is packed with a burst of flavors that will leave you wanting more. The falafel is also gluten-free, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. The presentation of the falafel is also impressive. It is served in a warm pita bread, accompanied by a variety of fresh vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pickles. The falafel is topped with a creamy tahini sauce that adds a tangy and nutty flavor to the dish. The service is excellent, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always ready to assist you in choosing the best options for your dietary preferences. The restaurant has a clean and inviting atmosphere, making it a great place to enjoy a quick and satisfying meal. Overall, The shouk go-to place for the best vegetarian fast food falafel. Their falafel is flavorful, made with high-quality ingredients, and served with fresh and delicious accompaniments.“
“We live nearby, and this was our first time visiting Spice Kraft. This will DEFINITELY be added to our roster of regular stops. The food was delicious, the portions were large, and the service was great. AND they have happy hour on the weekends! The only ‘complaint’ I have is that I asked for one of the dishes to be extra spicy, and it simply wasn’t. They brought me more hot sauce, and that didn’t get to the level I’m used to either. This is absolutely a ‘me’ thing as I like my food intolerably spicy, and I will know for next time to specify that I want it “extra spicy as if I were in India” to get the right spice level!Dietary restrictions: We are both vegan, and one of us is gluten free as well, and there were plenty of options to choose from! Love that this place is so close!“
“Mom and I stumbled across this place on travel, met the owner and his nice staff. They’re so friendly and genuine. Many of them are from Latin America, and you can sense the good vibes.The food is on a different level. We tried the wraps and tortilla, and waffles. And some of their baked goods. Highly recommend!!They have the finest juice from fresh fruit and veg and you can add vegan protein. Support small vegan local business & their delicious food!Vegetarian options: All vegan!“
“It was everything you could ask for in a restaurant. I got the lunch fixe for $70, and it was perfect. First the Ceasar salad was delicious, it was lemon forward with the dressing and the garlic cheese crisps added great crunch and flavor. The wellington was phenomenal, the demi glaze was so unctuous and flavorful. The potato pure was so smooth and creamy. To end I had the sticky toffey pudding, the soft and fluffy interior bathed in that perfectly sweet caramel sauce was the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. Overall I would legitimately give a 10/10.“
“Some of the most delicious food in DC. As a vegan they had so many incredible options that you can’t always find at regular Indian restaurants. The dosa with potato filling and idly were incredible and the server was so quick to provide her recommendation for her favorite vegan curry. My friend was gluten free too and we had so many options to enjoy - it was a feast!All vegans in the area need to run over here right away! Veganesha is the bestVegetarian options: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options available“
“Every time I go I always have a great time and know I am getting good quality, tasty food and drinks.The owner Greg sincerely enjoys bringing fresh flavors and products to the community. He is welcoming to all and will answer any question you may have to help and make your experience a positive one.Solid spot for vegan, gluten free, and dairy free food. The flavors are new and exciting, definitely worth a try!Dietary restrictions: If you have a dietary restriction of any kind Cane and Coconut has you covered with plenty of delicious options.“
“This was BY FAR the best dosas and Idli we have had in years! Chef Paul is amazing and he told me he doesn’t believe in catering or delivery because South Indian food is best served hot and fresh and I couldn’t agree more! The Idlis melted in my mouth. The dosas were just perfect - the masala and chutney and sambhar -10/10! Go - no run to this place!“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at elfegne Ethiopian restaurant in d.c and it was a delightful experience. The cozy ambiance and friendly service set the stage for a memorable meal. The Ethiopian dishes were full of flavor and authenticity. I especially loved the injera and tibs – they were cooked to perfection. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend elfegne Ethiopian restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Ethiopian cuisine in D.C“
“As someone with dairy and egg allergies, I was extremely grateful for the many vegan options on the menu. We came our first night in DC and had the delicious vegan nachos and vegan BBQ “chicken” bites and I was beyond impressed. We had such a great experience that we came back again…. And again while we were in DC. Everyone in my family (vegan and not) raved about their food and our service was phenomenal. Add in the great bookstore attached that the kids and us enjoyed while waiting for food and this place is a must go. If you’re a beer lover, try the Busboys Haze and you won’t be disappointed.“
“Love love the food here - one of the best vegan food I had so far. Asian fusion and love their bowls better than salads! Its cooked and warm to eat and its so filling that I can never finish and always have leftover as my next meal. I love their Yoga Dragon bowl and cauliflower starter… yet to try their fried rice :).“
“Stayed at a hotel nearby and found the Hive Bar as we walked the neighborhood. We were looking for something fast and tasty and the pizza did not disappoint!! They were trying out a new menu (for the Super Bowl) so we snacked on popcorn chicken and tatters as well. Tatters are a favorite!!“The” Old Fashioned cocktail was amazing!! Our bartender was an expert and made this delicious drink delicious every time!The bar is accessible, with a bar and tables on the first floor, and an elevator to the rooftop bar. The pizza/food is delivered from &Pizza which is attached to the hotel.Street parking was easy on the weekend.“
“I try to come here every weekend or every other weekend! The food is amazing, fresh and made with love. I always get the Caribbean Bowl, I replace the corn with extra arugula, and my heart melts each time. The jerk mushrooms does it for me ever. Single. Time. I love It here!“
“It's been so exciting to see an entirely plant-based concept be so successful and expanding so rapidly and now that I have visited I absolutely see why. This was one of the best meals I've had in a while. My friend and I had been dying to try their plant-based sushi and not only did it blow us away but the other dishes we tried were equally as incredible. Here's what we got for two people. We were quite full and took some leftovers: - ahi watermelon nigiri (2 pieces) x 2: If you didnt know this was made of watermelon you could absolutely mistake it for the real thing. The texture is mind blowing and the flavor is on point. Amazing way to start the meal (and end it because we ended up ordering another round to finish our meal) - unagi eggplant nigiri (2 pieces) x 2: So delicious. Definitely must order. The eggplant is super tender, just like eel. - spicy tuna roll: we ordered the hand roll but I think the server misheard so we ended up with the maki but it wasn't a big deal and i wasn't upset to get to try their take on maki rolls. I think their rice could use some work but this was still tasty! - Dan Dan noodles: incredible. Our server advised us to get the Dan Dan noodles over the Singapore noodles entirely because of the saucy-ness of this dish and he did not steer us wrong. These noodles are drowning in sauce (in the best way) Even though it's a peanut sauce it was perfectly balanced and creamy. The noodles themselves had a great chew and the use of kamut (a grain) in the dish as a substitute for the traditional ground pork was inspired. - bang bang broccoli: broccoli has never tasted this good. I mean it, not only is the broccoli is shockingly crispy while being perfectly cooked through the center, but the broccoli itself tasted so creamy and delicious unlike any broccoli I have had before. And the bang bang sauce is bangin too. All this being said, if you are trying to be choosy and try the most unique dishes, I would probably skip this dish in favor of more sushi. Overall, this was an incredible, unique, and innovative meal and I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu. This is how vegetables could and should taste, if only we put as much love into them as we do with meat. At least the chefs at Planta are listening.“
“All vibes. Esthetics were dope..especially for us hoop heads! Wings with the house sauce are a must order. All staff were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Service was fast considering the amount of orders while we were there. Would definitely return again and would recommend to anyone looking for a good meal in the DC area.“
“Been ordering food here for a few years and it’s always good. Tried the app and it worked great. The staff are always attentive and polite. I love that &pizza has delicious vegan options - vegetables, plant based sausage and chicken, cheese. I always support restaurants that support vegans!“

“Had a wonderful experience for the first time in a while at this location! Special s/o to Josh! He was very accommodating and had a very pleasant attitude. The cashier was also efficient and helpful; I didn't get her name, but she was very kind. 10/10!“
“I got the smoky sweet chicken wrap and the cauliflower nuggets w/ fries meal. I ordered online and got there about an hour after my food was ready. The breading on the nuggets didn't really taste like much and the fries didn't have seasoning on them. I really liked the wrap and the tangerine drink tho, so I'd just get smth else if I go here again“
“Been to bubbies many times and it’s always so worth the trip! Really appreciate how often they send coupons, gives us the push to order and enjoy their food. We’ve also ordered it for delivery and never had any issues, it’s obviously no longer hot because of the distance but our order has always been correct! Highly recommend.“
“OMG! I am not a vegan but I am fasting for the month, and decided to stop here.I got the Crab Cake entree… THESE CRAB CAKES HIT DIFFERENT!!! They are beyond my expectations!!! So so so good! Kale is my favorite and the kale is great! Now I’m not a fan of the vegan Mac & cheese.. it’s not nasty just not for me lol but Chef Chris was so nice and I’ll definitely be back for those crab cakes!!“
“Great customer service, great location, and even better pizzas! We visited for Pi Day and enjoyed the American Honey and a customized pizza. I highly recommend the American Honey!! The location is about a 10-min walk to the Kennedy Center. Stop by before a show!“
“Absolutely amazing. Definitely would recommend :)! Kind people, atmosphere was relaxing, and the food was delicious. Great for vegans and non-vegans! We ordered the crab cake, steak and cheese, Mac and cheese, fries, and it was all so satisfying. There is also a co-op next door that is wonderful :)“
“This is hand down my favorite &pizza. I work down gallery so they have definitely proven themselves. Fee, Blu know my order by heart at this point. Pizza dough are made perfectly shaped with no odd shapes. This is the best &pizza in the “
“Amazing Experience! Food was definitely on Point and my Waiter was very informative and took me thru the entire menu with my Family and I. Suggested what to try and maybe avoid based on our tastes. The Bookstore was a Plus as I was able to get a book for my Daughter. Would recommend this location to anyone who is looking for a positive vibe.“
“I love &pizza and especially the Hst location. Every week or other week I come in to get a pizza and watch an episode of my show. The staff has always been so kind. It doesn’t matter if I’m coming in for lunch or after a long shift, they’re always so helpful. Big s/o to Alan and Waverley for the great service always. ✨“
“The food is FANTASTIC! The service is top notch. I probably meet friends at this location once per month.No matter what time we arrive, the tables need wiping down, the trash is so full that it is falling out of the bins onto the floor, and the music is way TOO loud.If the pie was not so good, we would pass. Please guys, get it together. We love your pizza AND it is a convenient location for an after work nosh.“
“I ALWAYS choose this &pizza to get regular cheese pizza for my daughter who loves pizza so much, and vegan nots or a vegan cheese pizza for my 2 1/2 year old. This &pizza location is always welcoming and kind. They are all quick and great with service. I always receive satisfaction that leads me to leave a tip. My food outcome is on point most of the time if not it does get put on point. No problem. Because of this locations great serivce and welcoming spirit I choose &pizza 80% of the time when pizza is chosen for dinner. If the &pizza that is closer to me had this &pizza's service and welcoming spirit, I would always 100% go to and pizza for pizza. Here to you all at Eastern Market &pizza!!! You all are great, thank you for always making me and my children feel special on our visits, much love!“
“It’s a little confusing regarding where/how to pick up your food, you have to knock on a door towards the back. But the food is great, all vegan sushi with different tastes. My partner and I split a box and it was perfect. Not much to talk about re ambience, there are some picnic tables outside the building which are cute if the weather cooperates, but not many other options if you’re not taking food home.Vegetarian options: Menu is entirely vegan“
“I highly recommend secrets of Nature DC When I lived in the area this was the place that my children enjoyed all their healthy meals! I loved Cory & the staff! I also was taught so much about eating correctly! My children are grown adults & is practicing healthy choices! May God continue to bless Cory & those he ❤️ love!“
“We were starving after the ill-fated attempt to Beat the Bomb (See review). Too tired to walk the mile or more for full restaurant fare that didn't require reservations, all the places nearby were just bar food. And though i don't mind bar food...we wanted something else Honestly: didn't even know MoMs had eat-in-store options. I'd only been to the one in White Marsh, and it doesn't Cutting through the store headed to the elevator to the parking garage, we saw "this": the Naked Lunch And thought. Hmmm. Quick. Healthy. Non-bar. Why not? All vegetarian, vegan, lots of raw, veggies,and legumes, grains, and fruit and vegetable juices! Sooo glad we did! 2/4 of us frequent the establishment so we followed their lead I got the moolah bowl and a friend got a juice made of all kinds of fresh stuff. She said it was THE best fresh juices juice she'd ever had. Unfortunately they were out of both avocado and mushrooms, so I subbed brown rice and black beans. LOVED IT They roast the veggies, and just totally mix the greens and toppings n veggies altogether and dump it in a brown box! DELISH AND HUMONGOUS. I literally am on my 3rd meal of it, today! I'm gonna write to the moms in white marsh and ask why "we" don't have the ear in option? Staff: two VERY hard working folk going at it, being patient with us first timers and totally apologetic about the items they were out of (as though it were their fault). A short line started to form behind us and a lady appeared from the rear to help them out. Good to see an establishment recognize a need to come to the aid of other workers to ensure customer satisfaction“
“I love the BBQ tofu. Its a nice sweet BBQ sauce with a little bit of a nutty flavor (not sure if there's actually nuts). The Mac and cheese is okay. Sometimes the cheese texture is similar to the texture of glue. I think I'm used to a different style of vegan Mac and cheese like Nu vegan or E life has. The people who work here are always nice and there's an interesting small plant based grocery connected to the restaurant that you can look around while waiting for your food.“
“I never write reviews but this resteraunt has gone beyond expectations everytime ! Whenever we’re in the area we stop by and it’s absolutely delicious. The portions are a nice size and the owners of the shop are super efficient even when orders pile up. I recommend the veggie combo, everyone should eat here :)“
“Food is out of this world, great!!! I don't know how they create such great tasting food without animal products, but they do it, and they do it well. Service is "good," but would be so much better if the servers would pep-up, smile, and get excited about the fact that they are providing what so many people in the county have been looking for. Healthy food choices. Many restaurants come and go in the county, and I believe that the ones that don't make it are those that have not stressed the importance of the "customer experience" to their staff. I LOVE the food at this establishment, but if I continually feel like the staff is only tolerating me, for a check; or they're not invested in the owner's success, I know that I won't continue making the trip. The first time I came, there was a young lady who took me through all the food and offered samples. She's the kind of person that belongs out front. But in more recent experiences, some staff barely look you in the eyes, and they're speaking so low that when you ask a question, you hardly hear the answer. I STILL rate this restaurant HIGHLY!!!! Getting the staff onboard to be as excited about the customer's experience as the customer is about the food would make this establishment #1 in the Prince George's County vegan restaurant space. And possibly #1 in the DMV and beyond.“
