One of the best meals I've had in Baltimore! And the service is exceptional!…read more Oleum is an upscale vegan restaurant with a large variety of menu options. Our server, Josie, went above and beyond to take care of us. She provided excellent recommendations and was super friendly and attentive! We ordered the Batata Harra, Saltat Marrakech, and the Stuffed Dates for apps. All of them were incredible, but the Saltat was so refreshing and the Dates truly stole the show. The creamy ricotta filling with red pepper sauce was to die for. For mains, we shared the Lasagna and did a half and half pizza of The Gabriel and the Toum Raider. The lasagna was super savory and very filling--perfect to share! I enjoyed both pizzas, but the Gabriel was my favorite. I loved the combo of the nutty pesto and spicy Calabrian chilis. Josie brought out a cupcake for dessert to celebrate my friend's birthday, and it was probably one of the best vegan treats I've ever had! Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town!

I went to Oleum for my birthday dinner and noted on the reservation that we were celebrating my…read morebirthday. We also mentioned it when we arrived. We were a few minutes late, but we had notified the restaurant ahead of time. The service was fine overall, but there were several things that made the experience disappointing. The menu was not explained particularly well, and a server repeatedly brought us food that we had not ordered. We had to explain multiple times that the items were not ours. We arrived around 6:45 PM for our 6:30 reservation, and we felt rushed throughout the meal because the restaurant had another reservation for our table at 8:15. While I understand that they needed to turn the table over, it made the dinner feel rushed, particularly since we had arrived only about 15 minutes after our reservation time and had notified them that we were running late. I was also disappointed that my birthday was not acknowledged at all. Despite noting it on the reservation and mentioning it when we arrived, there was no birthday acknowledgment or even a simple "happy birthday" from our server. Our table was also located directly next to the host stand, bathrooms, and waiting area. Several delivery drivers came in during our dinner and spoke very loudly while waiting, making it difficult for us to hear each other. The food was okay to good, and the service was adequate, but overall, the experience did not feel particularly special for a birthday dinner. Between feeling rushed, repeatedly receiving food we did not order, being seated in a very noisy location, and having my birthday completely overlooked, I expected more from the experience.

Highly recommend this place if you're in Baltimore whether you're vegan or not…read more Everything was so flavorful and delicious. From crab cakes, chick'n curry (not pictured), and vish sandwich the textures did a good job mimicking their counterparts. For sides, we understand why people recommend the mac & cheese. We also liked the jollof rice! Corn bread was standard. Had eyed dessert, but was too full to eat anything else.

This was also their first trial of vegan soulfood. We ordered the blueberry smoothie and the crab cakes platter, which came with two large crab cakes and two sides. I got mac and cheese thinking it'd be a kid favorite and sesame spinach. The spinach was to die for and my kiddo asked for more once finished with the side! I got the platter of spinach and almost all of it was devoured today. We will return happily!

We didn't know they closed at 10 pm so my friend and I kept chatting. I thought the waitstaff was rude as I was still drinking my water and they went to collect my cup. If you wanted us to leave, then just say so. We ordered the dumplings, Kit's special pad thai and lychee martini and my friend had 1444 tea which is basically thai tea with alcohol. The dumplings were good but aren't all dumplings good? The crispy pad thai that they called Kit's special sounded much better on paper. The noodles were so crispy that it did not absorb the sauce. There were alot of sauce at the bottom of the plate and only four pieces of shrimp and two pieces of tofu so basically you are just getting noodles and noodles are cheap. I wouldn't recommend getting this dish for $21 and you don't even get any protein. We didn't finish the dish and the waitresses didn't offer a take away container, just are you finished so she can take away the dish. I was disappointed in my dining experience. The only person who was friendly was the host. The waitress didn't come to our table right away to take our order and only came to bring is our food. We also didn't ask for the check. It was given to us while we were still eating and the waitress couldn't even wait for me to put down my credit card. I can't say I want to come back here to dine again. The food and the service leaves me very disheartened.

- Large portions - Very busy but food comes out relatively…read more"quick" in about 20 minutes - Lots of seating and tables - Very hot inside which makes it a bit uncomfy - Neighbor chicken is flavorful, juicy, gigantic. 10/10 - Spicy walnut shrimp is yummy but more similar to sweet chili sauce than walnut - Veggies are nice and tangy to counter the rich flavors. Rice could be softer - Crab rangoon egg roll is more of a Baltimore crab egg roll rather than crab rangoon - no cream cheese taste and seasoned with old bay. Tastes best without sauce given

If you've visited Baltimore and haven't yet been to Ekiben, this is your sign to make your way…read moretoday! Ekiben is the definition of unique flavors & a depth of culture. Their menu is a fusion of Asian & Ethiopian cuisine, an unexpected yet insanely good combination! With locations in 3 staple areas of Baltimore city, you'll experience not only great food but also the opportunity to explore all the sweet gems Baltimore has to offer. My top 3 picks from the menu which are a must when you visit are: ramen broccoli (perfect cooked in tempura batter seasoned with a "tangy" blend of spices); Red beans & Rice (vegan friendly dish of cooked lentils over rice topped w/ a fresh tomato & onion blend); & of course the shrimp (really any of them because you can't go wrong). Ekiben is definitely a staple and somewhere that warrants frequent visits. I highly recommend!

I came for restaurant week 2026. It is a three-course meal. I left very full, the portions felt…read morevery appropriate! My friend and I shared our dishes. For the appetizer, we got the mushroom toast and miso soup. The mushroom toast was umami and creamy. And the miso soup had an interesting crunch on top, while the base was hearty. I really enjoyed both! For the main course we got the catfish. It was nicely fried and not at all greasy. I regret not getting the lamb instead, since I'm not the biggest fan of white fish. For dessert, we tried the shortbread and a blueberry cake. I forget exactly why it was, but the shortbread was so delectable. There was a nice caramel layer. Our server was very kind! Very attentive and friendly. I was celebrating a birthday, and when she heard that, she asked if we wanted a Polaroid photo to document the moment. It was so cute! Overall ambiance is nice too. It's cozy without feeling small. Although, it was very cold that day and every time someone opened the door, I would feel the wind draft. Maybe a slightly higher indoor temperature would be better. Anyways, I'd definitely come back! Solid food and lovely service. I like that they serve seasonal specials.
