This restaurant is fantastic, located in a stunning old church building. We enjoyed a couple of cappuccinos made with almond milk, along with a truly delicious slice of vegan vanilla cheesecake. The menu featuring Bangladeshi village food is appealing, with several vegan options available.

I found this restaurant to be quite nice, but unfortunately, there was only one vegan option available: a burger. It was fairly standard and something I could easily make at home for less. There really wasn't anything that stood out or made me want to return. While it was pleasant, I wouldn’t be too eager to have it again or visit the place again. I just didn't feel a strong connection to it. Additionally, I noticed that the two staff members weren’t wearing masks, and one of them appeared to be unwell with cold-like symptoms. Given the current health climate, it seems inappropriate for them to be handling food without masks.

This restaurant is a fantastic spot located in a beautiful old church building. We enjoyed some cappuccinos with almond milk, and the vegan vanilla cheesecake we tried was absolutely scrumptious. The Bangladeshi village menu also looks promising, featuring several vegan options.

This restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere, but the only vegan option available was a standard burger that felt more like a homemade meal and could be made at a lower cost. It lacked any impressive qualities that would make me want to return. While it was an okay experience, I wouldn’t feel compelled to revisit. Additionally, I noticed that the two employees were not wearing masks, and one of them seemed to have cold or flu symptoms, which is concerning. Even outside of a pandemic, it’s not ideal for someone in that condition to be handling food, especially without a mask.
