Look, I enjoy my animal proteins quite a lot thankyouverymuch, but I have earnestly been transitioning to a more plant-forward diet due to a number reasons (hey, probably the same as yours!). Mosty I admire how the best plant-based chefs can make their recipes flavorful and filling...because it's literally more difficult from a scientific point of view (glutamates, etc.)! Over the course of two lunches and dinner offered by Simply Vegan, I can say that Nikevia really topped the charts in terms of wonderful vegan chefs. The multi-course menus were hearty, fresh, FLAVORFUL and delicious without feeling heavy at all. She had a wonderful touch with flavored waters (yes, she even flavors them better than anyone I've known!) and personal service. I very much hope that I find the occasion to have her cater an event that I organize! Or, at the very least, that others will take this review as a serious endorsement of her cooking chops. Please consider this wonderful chef and her company for your next event. Thank you, Nikevia!!

Walk up to the bar get a beer. Not walk up and be asked if have a seat somewhere before they hand you a beer. Hi Parice! I'm so sorry about this experience. The City of Annapolis requires us to have a seat for every person, even if they're just having a beer, so we have to seat everyone. We've had a host working weekends since we've been open to ensure this happens. Every table has a number on it now, and we should have done a better job about pointing you to that number before (or while) you ordered. I do hope you'll come by another time. Saturdays in June are some of our busiest days, but there are lots of other slower days when you can come in and easily get a table. Again, we're sorry for this experience and hope to see you again!

My Mamas Vegan is an excellent Black Owned/Woman Owned/vegan restaurant located in Baltimore…read more I pre-ordered the Super Bowl Slider Platter from My Mamas Vegan. Pre order was easy, I did it all via my phone a couple of weeks in advance. Pickup was also super easy, I found parking right on the street, went in, and had my food all in my hands in less than ten minutes. The slider tray consisted of 10 Sliders. There were two each of Meatball Parm, French Onion Melt, Cheeseburger Cheesesteak, BBQ Jackfruit and Oyster Chick'n. All of them were well done, held up in transit and tasted good as leftovers. That being said, the BBQ Jackfruit were my favorite. If you ever have the chance to get your hands on her BBQ Jackfruit, definitely do it! The sliders came with three sides: a container of Bourbon Baked Beans, Traditional Mac Salad and Chips and Chili Queso These were also well done. Price wise, My Mamas Vegan seemed comparable to other vegan places in the area. I think the slider tray cost about 40 dollars and I, eating everything myself, had leftovers for days. The menu is constantly rotating. Follow their Instagram page where they list their weekly menu as well as specials and pop ups that are running or will be coming up.

I ordered the crab egg rolls. I've never had vegan crab. The egg rolls were shockingly delicious…read more The sauce and the texture of the vegan crab were perfect. Portion was large. Wish I could have purchased half the size and added another food item because I wanted to try more, but you know how those vegan prices are... Street parking is available.

It was great to see vegan dessert is offered and meal prep grab n go items were available too. This is a carryout place, not a sit down and eat restaurant. Inside is small and basic

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 had the pleasure of speaking to Tony who not only checked himself but spoke with the chef to confirm the menu was peanut free. * Note there are peanuts used in the cocktails * it was a true pleasure to have an allergy taken seriously and made us more confident to take our daughter there. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very personal and quaint, there was a high chair available for our daughter to use. All the servers were incredibly friendly and helpful. For the food we tried the stuffed dates, miso mushroom bucatini and the toum raider pizza. The stuffed dates were recommended by our waitress and they were delicious. They were both sweet, savory and a little spicy. The walnuts that topped it were a nice touch to add texture to the already soft dates, I enjoyed it a lot. The miso mushroom bucatini was also a favorite of ours as it didn't taste vegan at all to us. It was creamy and the pasta was cooked well. My daughter enjoyed this a lot. The pizza wasn't my favorite but I'm also not a huge fan of vegan cheese so that is my fault but the miso mushroom bucatini was truly so delicious. Overall I really enjoyed the experience, the service was impeccable and I would definitely visit here again!

First time trying her (lambless) lamb chops. Omg it was delicious! The (crabless) crabcake was even good. Now I'm a seafood lover. So it was pretty hard to pull that off. We enjoyed it all. Especially the cheese & Fruit platter. She definitely did not disappoint us. I definitely can see us returning to check out her other menu options. masks are required. Keep in mind this is a carryout establishment. It is located in a house. Signs are located on the side to enter the house from the side and go around the back to pick up your delivery. They also provide free delivery within 15 miles. Also other delivery options available. Parking is located in the driveway and street side. I will definitely be checking out her other vegan options for the future.

I visited this establishment for an event with an interest in supporting its stated mission of…read morecommunity healing, activism against racism white supremacy, and plant-based nutrition. However, my experience revealed a significant disparity between the stated purpose and the actual atmosphere created by the owner. The irony: The event was a documentary, discussion, and supporting the vendors who came. During the discussion portion after the documentary, comments and thoughts were welcomed, so I shared my thoughts specifically highlighting resources on collective healing and rest in relation to generational and historic racial injustice/oppression (resources such as the Nap Ministry). The vendors and attendees were kind and friendly, and a few were curious about the grassroots healing organization I mentioned. What I noticed was, while the owner was notably attentive and warm toward his white patrons and others, his demeanor toward me, the only Indian woman there, was inexplicably hostile and impatient. It left me confused. In his direct comments to me, he indicated a disdain he had for "Indian people" with the generalization that "Indians are the most successful in this racist system and are therefore part of the problem." I was painted with a stereotype that has nothing to do with me. It was disappointing to see a space dedicated to 'liberation' revert to such narrow, localized profiling of a supporter like myself, especially considering that my intention for being there was the exact opposite. This attitude of blindly disparaging Indians is the same anti-blackness he claims to oppose. It is ironic that in a space claiming to fight racism white supremacy, the owner reserves his most aggressive scapegoating for a dark skinned woman of color who was there to offer genuine support (an easy target for misplaced hostility), all while changing his demeanor for the white guests. It contradicts the grassroots racial struggle he claims to represent and left a bad taste in my mouth. The food was overpriced but watered down, cold, and lacked flavor. The whole atmosphere was cold, low vibrational, grievance and money driven, and lacked the vitality and integrity one would expect at this price point. Quality is a result of Presence. Because the owner's heart was closed and his mind was set on getting money for low quality food and finding a scapegoat, the food had no life-force. I have withdrawn my support from this place.
