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 I have withdrawn my support from this place.

We LOVED IT!!! So glad to have found this place while traveling. We are from Los Angeles, but had…read morean epic meal, actually three at DC vegan. We ate there and the chicken Parmesan sandwich along with the focaccia cheese bread and dip were phenomenal. We got a Caesar salad with chik'n for dinner later that night, which was outstanding. We also planned ahead and got two sandwiches for the plane ride home along with two cannolis, a peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake slice, and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything was absolutely incredible. Love the way that this place actually got veganism and was not only sharing literature and information, but spreading the good word online and are living examples of true compassion! We will be back!

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!!

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.

Overall, we really enjoyed our food experience here.

However, I ordered their black bean burger and it was delicious! I literally inhaled my sandwich in a few minutes .

I only ordered Juice and the only issue with the juice was that it was too "pulpy". Granted some folks like it like that but I had to strain it at home. I don't know if that's their procedure regularly, I think some folk like the pulp. I don't know if I'll try it again before I leave the area.
