Description

In a vibrant culinary scene, a restaurant has garnered mixed reviews for its vegan offerings. While some patrons laud its extensive menu and consistently fresh dishes, others have faced alarming service issues. Notably, a significant error occurred when a customer received real chicken instead of vegan options, raising serious concerns about food safety and dietary respect. Additionally, the much-criticized vegan sharing platter, featuring an overwhelming amount of chips and mysterious fried items, marred the dining experience for some. Overall, despite certain flaws, the establishment remains a favorite for many who appreciate its commitment to vegan cuisine.

I’ve been ordering food from here for several years, and I’ve always had fantastic meals. Even my non-vegan family prefers the vegan dishes over meat. It can get busy on weekday evenings, but that’s never been a problem. I’ve never had a bad meal; everything always arrives hot and fresh. The vegan menu is extensive and impressive!

It appears that some staff believe honey is vegan, unfortunately. This is an update from my previous review dated July 23, 2022.

I'm surprised by the negative reviews. I often order vegan food through their app, and the process is quick and easy, with consistently great food. Updated from my previous review on June 2, 2022.

We ordered vegan chicken balls and was sent real baby murdered chicken when we rung we was questioned as if we was wrong and thought they could just send Vegan chicken balls to replace them even though I had eaten one and was sick to my stomach I I’ve been vegan for seven years without eating any murdered babies I can’t believe the attitude when I can’t understand how this could even happen if this was an allergy issue somebody could have died but no it’s just a moral issues so nobody cares. #Veganuary
