The selection on my visit included brown rice with mixed vegetables, mattar paneer (peas, tomatoes, and cheese cubes), vadai (lentil fritters with yogurt sauce), roasted potatoes, roasted cucumber with cheese, and a three-cheese lasagna with tomato sauce. All of the items were prepared simply using almost no spices--some of the dishes had the appearance and inspiration of Indian food but certainly lacked the soul. While the flavors could have been better, this still made for a healthy vegetarian lunch that came at an affordable price, and the meal was capped off with a dessert of bananas baked with brown sugar.

It was crowded with persons waiting on the outside to be seated. It seems the larger your group the longer the wait. I didn't have a waiting problem though as it was just me. The service is very fast so I suspect the lines is simply based on the popularity of the restaurant. Your wait time for seating may be 10 - 15 mins, that's only an estimate as I didn't wait. The restaurant is small with a homely feel but maybe they have outgrown the location. It is interesting to note that there are many other restaurants on that street but they all seem empty.

They have many vegan options (not all marked as such, so ask to double check your options). I like their coffee as well. I had to stop here twice during my very short stay in São Paulo. Prices are also ok. Uma excelente opção para quem está com pressa e também para quem não está. O atendimento é rápido e os lanches são muito gostosos e eles muitas opções veganas. Nem todas as opções veganas estão marcadas como tal, então fica a dica, pois isso tornaria a decisão mais fácil e rápida. O café é gostoso também.

Excellent mate and coffee drinks, acai drinks and bowls, and a variety of traditional Brazilian snacks and desserts. The acai here was the best I had during my time in Brazil-not overly sweet, and perfect creamy texture. While I liked some of the fried snacks more than others, everything was tasty, filling, and very affordable. I also recommend the vegan truffles and cakes-excellent! All credit cards accepted. Friendly staff, and nice outdoor seating. Highly recommended!

Everything was clean and it was really empty when I went but I imagine it fills up with people during certain peak hours. The shimeji mushrooms were really good and the chick peas were seasoned really well. It would be nice if there were little labels on the foods that have gluten. I avoided anything that looked breaded or fried and didn't get sick, but it would be easier if the foods were better labeled. Comida vegana simples e gostosa! O almoço é estilo buffet e eu imagino que geralmente você paga por peso, mas esse mês estão tendo uma promoção onde você paga o quanto que você quiser. O lugar estava bem limpo e não tinham muitas pessoas comendo lá quando eu fui. Adorei o shimeji e o tempero do grão de bico. Ia ser bom se os pratos feito com glúten tivessem marcados.

Amazing guy, super friendly and such warm personality. 10/10 I order the following dishes 1. Biryani It was amazing. I was expecting a fusion of some sort which is what you get at most Indian places abroad(except Bay Area). But boy did they amaze me with a super authentic chicken biryani. The reason behind the authenticity was that they source the masalas from back home. I could taste the garam masala and fried jeera masala. Portion was good enough for two people(I had to box half). 10/10 2. Rayta: I normally don't like Rayta but this was from the good lot. Hope to come back here again!!

Hooray for dragging your group to an all vegan restaurant!…read more Well, I wasn't THAT evil since 3 out of the of us were veg*n, so it worked out okay. Maoz is a falafel paradise! Buy a pita pocket, it gets filled up with warm falafel, and then you make your way down the line and top it with as much veggies and sauces as you can physically cram into that warm carb blanket. I bought the combo, which comes with a large falafel pita pocket, side of fries, and a drink-all for $27R. It ended up being so much food I couldn't finish it! If you want the combo, go for the junior size, which is 3 falafels, instead of 5. Or, just skip the fries since the pita is filling enough as is. You can also try it as a salad, which looked like a lot of food! The toppings bar has everything you would want with your falafel. From savory, to pickled, to spicy, to creamy toppings, they have it all. Try all the sauces as well! Just get it all! I tried the watermelon juice and it was refreshing and delicious. We never get enough fresh squeezed juice in the USA. It's not even an option. Maoz is located in a very crowded neighborhood brimming with shops and restaurants. So after we ate, we were able to explore a little bit. What a great find!

We ordered: -Guacamole with banana chips: this was a nice appy to start the meal, coming with very nicely seasoned guac and dehydrated banana chips. Great way to start the meal. Large portion. -Two different types of vegan quiche that were both decadent, rich and well-spiced. Great creamy texture and quite filling -Black risotto - one of the best risottos I've ever had. Very creamy, with lots of vegan mozzarella, mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, and plenty of microgreens on top. Absolutely divine. -Baião de dois (vegan). I hadn't tried one of these before, and man was it incredible. The main dish was a rice-based dish with vegan sausage, firm tofu, and veggies with a very complex flavour and wonderful textures. On the side was an incredible garlic-sauteed kale, fried banana, and a sort of polenta-like mash with hearts of palm/jackfruit(? - look up) that was sensational. Our server spoke no English, so we communicated via Google Translate. He was so kind, hospitable and friendly--told us he loved serving us at the end. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Not like outwardly aggressive type of rude but the kind of rude where he interacts like he couldn't give a damn about the table, the order, or his guests. I do not speak Portuguese but I try. I try so hard to speak Portuguese to a basic level, enough to order. He wouldn't even try to help me out. I know he didn't speak English (not his problem at all) but usually, I even asked for "agua" and he acted as if he couldn't understand me. I resorted to just pointing to items on the menu (which is fine as well) but then he acted like he could barely lean over to see/read which item I was pointing to or like having to come closer to read what I was pointing at was annoying for him. Honestly, we were so excited to come there and he just lets the air out of the room with his demeanor. One thing that wasn't his fault, the restaurant did not have NUMEROUS items that was on the menu. We ordered various items and multiple people had to select their second and third choices. Sounds small but again, when you don't speak the language (but trying your best), having to pick two and three times on the fly is not a nice experience.
