Wonderful locally owned restaurant with passionate staff. We are whole food, plant based eaters and we had no problem ordering, no need to examine ingredients... a great relief to us. The food was delicious, fresh and generously portioned. Located on a nice street with plenty of friendly foot traffic and very convenient parking.
We were forced to take out since there was an issue with the A/C, but the interior space was beautifully designed and welcoming.

I enjoyed appetizers & dinner while hanging out with my friend who is vegan so I am vegan too Chef Ojok the food was so delicious service excellent thankyou...
The effort and love in every thing we ordered was unmatched. This food helped me get grounded. An absolute blessing to enjoy.
Essence is an amazing vegan and vegetarian restaurant with delicious food, impressive flavors, and friendly service. The brussels sprouts appetizer is a must-try, and the pasta and stew dish comes highly recommended. The fully vegan menu offers many gluten-free options, along with fresh juices like the refreshing mint lemonade. Located on a nice street with convenient parking, the beautifully designed interior creates a welcoming atmosphere. The buffalo cauliflower, baked perfectly with a great sauce, is a standout dish, while the pita bread with olive oil and pomegranate is a delightful starter. With generous portions and passionate staff, Essence is a must-visit spot on the south side of Pittsburgh.
