Just here to second all the other stellar
reviews. As a vegetarian Southerner, I so rarely have the opportunity to enjoy Southern cuisine so thoroughly. The food here is satisfying and delicious. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Durham from the food to the vibes to the service. Incredible experience. I cannot say enough good things about Pure Soul.
