Cauliflower wings are absolutely fantastic, chana masala isn't bad but is probably about as good as the frozen ones I've gotten from Lidl, jackfruit biryani is a little dry/plain and didn't have a lot of jackfruit. Place is kind of dirty. Raleigh location is better. I'd just get sides, wings and mushroom sukka were the best parts and those were sides. Mains are overpriced for quality.

The fries were perfectly crispy! We got the backyard and it was super delicious!
They have many options to choose from!
I definitely recommend!

Went to a vegan event from meetup.com and it was amazing! Food was great and everything on the menu was safe to eat! #Veganuary

Amazing food! I’ve tried eight things on the menu so far and every single one of them was delicious and the portions were perfect! You get more than what you pay for here

The mango lassi was delicious! Chicken tacos were solid and the chicken and waffles was very satisfying.

Only place I know of to get an actual GOOD vegan breakfast, without having to wait a million years. Vegan bacon, eggs, French toast, waffles, sausage egg and cheese muffins, the works. Long overdue in this area. They have a ton more food, and coffee and juices and always some pastries, but my favorites are the breakfast items because there simply isn’t anywhere else for this and it’s so fast and convenient.

This place is great! The food is always top notch, you can tell they use fresh ingredients and the flavors are always so good! Thanks for being consistent!
Lovely full vegan menu cafe with excellent service and plenty of indoor seating. The menu has so many options, especially if you are into Indian food, and allergins are clearly labeled. The food was delicious, but the portions, in my opinion, were a bit small for the price especially compared to other similar cafes in the area. For that reason, the semi challenging parking if you're coming here during business hours, and the fact that the bathrooms needed a serious clean, I'm giving this place 4 instead of 5 stars.
I had the most incredible experience at Pure Vegan Café in Durham today, and it couldn't have come at a better time—Christmas Day! The café offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a cozy, plant-based holiday meal. The food is not only fresh and flavorful but thoughtfully crafted with a variety of options to suit any vegan or plant-based eater. I had the most delicious holiday special, bursting with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The staff was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall delightful ambiance.
What made today even more special, however, was the amazing people I met during my visit. I struck up a conversation with a group from the islands—such a vibrant, fun crowd! The connection we shared over good food and great conversation made the Christmas spirit come alive in a way I never expected. It felt like being part of a new, extended family for the day, and we even exchanged stories about our holiday traditions.
It was a beautiful experience—one that made me realize how food has the power to bring people together, especially on a day as special as Christmas. If you're in Durham, I highly recommend stopping by Pure Vegan Café for not only the fantastic vegan food but also the opportunity to connect with wonderful, like-minded people. It’s more than just a meal—it's a community, and today, it felt like family.
