The food should come with a warning! This fried comfort food is addictive. Amazing drumsticks and chick’n. Finger licking good! Would love to come back! Fast & friendly service!
Citrus chick’n was delicious. Sides of rice, chana, and plantains were great as well.

I used to love this place and ordered frequently until tonight. There was a dead roach in the nuggets I ordered. I ordered a bunch of food and feel sick at the thought of eating it now. I’m so disappointed. Luckily I got a refund. There is no reason for something like this to happen. And they’re not listed on the nyc health inspection/rating site for some reason. Hope this place steps up its standards. Eat here at your own risk I guess.

Asked for a medium chicken and broccoli platter.
Medium was supposed to come with 3 sides per the menu and I assumed the chicken would be some type of protein like other vegan/ vegetarian restaurants (I’ve been vegan for 6yrs). I asked what was my other 2 options for sides and was told it only comes with rice and side of broccoli. I pointed out what it said on the menu and was told again that it comes with one side of broccoli and one protein.
When I got my plate it was deep fried oily cauliflower with broccoli separate. Got nauseous 5min after eating and couldn’t finish. That was $18 not worth it to me. I also wouldn’t consider deep fried cauliflower protein. Rice was good tho.

Playing extremely loud TikTok compilations on the TV, Dudes at the counter are weird and off putting, they charge you for water, and the ambiance of the restaurant is horrible. Definitely just a takeout place

Great tasting food and great customer service, BUT I, along with a relative and a friend (who I bought food/drink for) DID GET SICK from the Soursop drink they sell. There was no date written on the bottles so I believe it may have been old. Here's how it went down.
I came on August 3rd and ordered food to takeout. There was only one couple in the place. The staff was friendly. As I sat waiting for my food, the staff asked if I wanted my drink that I had ordered, so I chose Soursop flavor and drank it. My food came and I went to the car where I started eating. I had ordered the citrus chicken lunch. I started to feel weird but I assumed it was because I had the sweet drink on an empty stomach. I didn't eat much because I wasn't feeling well. I felt sickly in my stomach and kept burping.
My relative was driving so she drank the Soursop drink first (she then mentioned she thought it was too sweet) and then started eating later. A few moments later she complained of cramps in her stomach and said she felt like she had to throw up. I continued on to meet my friend and my relative went home. I told my friend I think the drink is too sweet and that it made me feel weird so my friend then ate first and then drank. A few minutes later she complained of feeling sick. Her symptoms were worse than mine. She felt like she had to throw up. The next couple hours we walked around slowly while she held a plastic bag in front of her in case she threw up.
When I went home that day, my relative told me that she had used the restroom and that helped her feel better. I also used the restroom and after that I was fine. It took my friend a few days to get better.
It is unfortunate that this happened because the food was tasty. I am not opposed to going back but I would not buy another drink from there again. Going forward, Staff should WRITE THE DATE THE DRINK WAS MADE ON THE BOTTLE.
I believe it was the drink that made us sick as the food did take quite a while to come (so I believe it was freshly made).
Overall, great customer service and great tasting food, but just be mindful of the drinks.

Overall, let me put it this way. It was worth the wait.
The Chick'n-Drumstick, It did not disappoint. The Fried Mushrooms and dipping sauce. My Sesame chick'n with potato salad, again i can't wait to dig in. Desserts: The banana bread ? and moist. The red velvet....I cant wait till tomorrow to get into it. I had the high blood pressure drink ??.
Thank you Starving Vegan ? ? ?
Vegetarian options: Just pick anything...even desserts.

The man (Dexter) in the kitchen did his thing. The fried mushrooms with the rice and peas and plantain was delicious.
