For some reason I always just assumed this place was ultra healthy and not tasty. I was so wrong. I…read morecan't believe I didn't know how good their bowls were until today. The options here are amazing and there is a bowl for everybody. It is not focused on one type of cuisine and has bowls with indian, asian, tex mex, and more flavors. They also have plenty of vegan options. The portions are hefty, the food is fresh and so delicious, and the staff is nice and helpful. I also absolutely love that they'll mix it up and chop it up for you because most build your own bowl places are filled to the top and hard to mix. This makes it so much more enjoyable. I made a bowl with the kabob chicken, chipotle tenderloin, white rice, arugula, corn, diced onions, broccoli, feta, herb yogurt, and achari aioli. It was SO good and I was full all day from it. I'll definitely be frequenting this spot from now on.

My go to is the coco curry bowl, loaded with kale, rice, protein (I get the tofu), cabbage, chickpeas, and green curry. It's always fresh and delicious--not very spicy. And it's always filling--I typically eat it in one seating. Parking at this location is easy. Bonus for plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Worth checking out one of their locations!

One of the top meals that I've had in the Triangle, and it was 100% vegan! The food was awesome,…read morebut what stood out even more was the service- the epitome of Southern hospitality. Since it was our first time at Pure Soul, the host gave us drinks on the house (we got Sweet Tea, Lemonade, and Root Beer). The tea and lemonade were on the sweeter side, but I enjoyed both. My sister liked the root beer, which was from Uncle's Scott's, a local NC brand. They also offer a discount for teachers, students, and veterans. For entrees, we got the: - Drumstix plate (BBQ, buffalo, or fried- included rice and a sauce): We chose fried- it was perfectly crispy, so tasty. Couldn't choose between hot honey and honey mustard, so they gave us both, again so nice. Rice was well-cooked. - Chicago burger (grilled onions, cheddar, pickles, tangy aioli): Classic! Enjoyed this overall. - Fried fish plate (includes rice, slaw & tartar sauce): This is funny, but this dish was a bit too fishy for me lol. But crazy how well they do their vegan alternatives. - BBQ plate ("pulled pork" in a sweet BBQ sauce, served with slaw): Probably my least favorite entree, I think the pork was too sweet for me, but it did balance with the slaw. We tried a bunch of sides, which from my most to least favorites were: Soul Mac (not too cheesy), Hushpuppies (crispy outside, pillowy inside), Rob's Favorite Cornbread (so moist), Sweet Potato Fries (classic), Bilbo's Greens, Blackeyed Peas & Veggies, and Nik's Candied Yams (too sweet for me). Ambiance is nice with both indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of parking available. 10/10 would recommend!

Ambience is a mix between store and restaurant, so you can even take some Guatemalan treats to-go. Service is solid. Definitely worth a stop.

The portion sizes were so generous, and I thought the food was flavorful and tasty. I was sad they didn't have soup available this time, but I'll be sure to come back another time to try it. I think the pricing was very reasonable! The service was a little slow the day we went where some people at the table got food quickly and others at the table got food slower.

I don't want a restaurant to do everything, I want it to do one thing well. The chips were not crispy, hot or salty enough for my taste, and the salsa was super bland (I can't tolerate spicy but I do like flavor). I ordered vegetarian fajitas, which were just ok. The veggies were tasty, but not super varied (some places have grilled tomato and summer squash, this was mostly peppers and onions with a tiny bit of mushroom and zucchini). The refried beans and rice were very tasty. The service was perfectly pleasant. The ambiance was nice- lots of comfortable booths and a family friendly atmosphere. Probably would not go back.
