All I can say is it was perfect!
It's always great to find a place like this that makes you feel like eating homemade food. Everything was great. For these two plates plus a velvet cake and Tamarindo juice, we pay $63. Pricey? Not sure because it was so much food for me that I could eat the rest for dinner, so two meals out of one plate
I enjoyed most of the items I got in my bowl. Price wise it’s roughly on par with Whole Foods hot bar which always catches me out. This bowl came to $25. Some of the items were unexpectedly sweet like the jerk soy and the chili. I highly recommend the freshly made juices, mine was amazing. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-20
Stopped here for lunch and it was amazing! Pay by weight, I got a small with a little bit of jerk, drumstick, Mac and cheese, pumpkin, plantain, rice & peas and it came out to $13. Very filling and incredibly delicious. The guy working there was also super friendly and helpful.
Food was decent. Nothing special but not bad either. It needed salt though. But it's a "health" plant based type of place. So to be expected.
The food was bad. The service wasn't great either. One charitable aspect could possibly be that I went at 8pm on a Sunday, right before they threw all the food away and started cleaning up. So maybe the food had been out in the trays being heated all day at that point. You pay by the pound, and we know the trick these places play, which is to make the food wet so that it's heavy. And it was! One pet peeve is that everything is disposable plastic. Updated from previous review on 2025-05-19
This is vegan heaven. Friendly staff too.
Definitely one of the better spots for vegan food in the city. Tried the Mac, jerk chicken, vegan stew chicken, rice & peas. Everything is great. Wish they had labels.
Food is good but the manager is very rude and disrespectful
Great looking on the outside,staff not friendly or May it be a new person hired,she kept her back to me the whole time and never asked if I wanted to try anything..wow the lack of communication is really disappointing!!!

Love yams kale collard greens and Mac and cheese carrot cake was amazing
I hate to rate a vegan restaurant lowly but their food is simply not good. I got some of their curry chickpeas and the spices were so off that it literally tasted bitter. I could barely finish it even when I tried to pair it with their macaroni salad which had so much mayo it had me feeling sick after. Their "chicken legs" are also awful, so watery and extremely tough with an undesirable aftertaste. At first I thought maybe soy chicken was just really hard to make, but every other restaurant I've tried it at made it 10000000x better. The only thing I enjoyed here was an eggplant fritter, which I feel like it's hard to mess up. Updated from previous review on 2025-02-23
Nice 'fast' food but with lots of healthy options and lots of variety. It was fun to have a plate of lots of different things and to pay by weight. Also lots of cakes available (the bread pudding was delicious and perfectly moist / not too sweet)
Disgusting.. that’s all I’ll say
