Very cozy, perhaps too cozy... I made reservation and I am glad I did as it was packed inside. I ordered the cheesesteak sandwich with the side salad. The sandwich was great, the "cheese" was a cashew style cheese. The "meat" was also perfectly marinated, 5/5. The side salad was leafy greens and pumpkin seeds. The vinegarette was balsamic, it was good but the salad did not have a lot of dressing on it, 4/5. Service was prompt and courteous. Prices are decent. Definitely recommend

We tried the eggplant batha and "steak" sandwich on a pretzel bun. The eggplant was full of flavor. The "steak" was seitan meant to mimic not steak, but brisket. It was very good, and we particularly like the bun. It was served with a side salad, though there was an option to substitute a sweet potato for a small charge. It is a cute little place that also has beer and wine. Sorry, I forgot to take pics of the food.

My friends and I went for the buffet after practice and it was perfect. The food was warm and we ate enough for the price. My plate was around $17 and I was very full by the end of it. The food is warm and delicious. Some stuff was missing since it was very close to closing but that's ok. I do wish the dessert was included in the price (it's a separate weight fee). The restaurant is big (the buffet is upstairs) so there's enough seating if you go with a group. It's always nice to add another vegetarian/vegan restaurant to my list of recommendations!

It reminded me of cities in Europe where this is very common (think Scandinavia or Switzerland.) It wasn't fully vegan but there were plenty of vegan options and they were all well-labeled. As is usual for a buffet, it's hard to not go too 'all-in' when you first start loading up your plate. Everything will look good and you want to try it all. The staff was really helpful when we arrived, explaining any of the little details about how their particular service works. And there was A LOT of seating, so this is a good option if you have a somewhat larger group. My partner and I got a view overlooking the bottom floor and outside and it was perfect.

The food was cooked to perfection. Our Fried Mushrooms were crispy and perfect with the dipping sauce. Our entrees were super tasty with the right amount of spice. Overall, we had a lovely time here. Highly recommend this cozy restaurant.

They offer plates, sandwiches, wraps, and other items, mostly Middle Eastern style but they push the boundaries.

Very generous portion of both types of vegan meat, fresh salad leaves among other veggies, a big portion of yellow rice underneath, and a dollop of what seemed like vegan tzatziki or something. Everything was absolutely delicious. Super friendly service, reasonably priced, generous portions, delicious food -- what more can you ask for? Highly recommended.

I liked my cappuccino and the creme caramel dessert had a nice crunchy top, though maybe slightly too burnt. I am not a vegetarian, either. My wife didn't like her mushroom burger because it really wasn't a burger... they should call it a Fried Mushroom Sandwich. It was odd that no one came to seat us for a long time, even though three waitstaff clearly saw us. But once sitting, the service was great. I also liked that they had swinging suspended chairs the back for a break on the way to the bathroom.
