The homemade ancient-grain sourdough was piled high with a Mediterranean vibe and was delicious. I would have bought a loaf of bread or two!! Should sell it! I also loved the chia latte made with their homemade plant-based milk, so good. I do wish they had more vegan friendly food options, but what I did have was very tasty. Plenty of parking, and it's wheelchair accessible with a ramp. Overall, a lovely spot and a great place to linger over breakfast or even lunch someday.

All these healthy people make me embarrassed as to what I've done to my body over the past 60+ years. My daughter says that it's never too late to turn it around. But like an oil tanker plowing through the ocean waves, that turn is going to take awhile. The first bend in that turn came in the form of Ginger tofu on a bed of kale and brown rice. Boy is that stuff ever good! Fresh, and if I'm at liberty to say, healthy. So I'll be crossing the threshold of Sunflower in the future. I'll get what my daughter had. Beats me as to what it was. She raved about it, so whatever she had, it'll be in front of me soon. Quick Tip: Look out for the cat.

I ate on the patio so I could watch them sun themselves and play. In terms of food- this definitely felt like a vegan school cafeteria, which isn't what I was expecting. I got the hot chik'n sandwich and was disappointed. I had expected a solid patty, and instead what I received was like a sloppy Joe that wasn't sloppy. I would love to give this place another shot when I return to Nashville, but I think the chik'n sandwich is permanently off my list of choices.

I'm guessing poor customer service and lack of communication is a top-down issue. Would not recommend. Was repeatedly told come back in 5 minutes and we are bagging up your order by the staff. Ridiculous Update: Phyliss R- If you are stating that I contacted you for a refund and then sent a text message to cancel that request. That is simply incorrect/false. I never sent a text message to the business stating this and I still have yet to be contacted by the business. I filled out a contact form on the website requesting a refund. Again, after waiting almost 2 hours. You coming on my post and lying further laminates the poor customer service and a severe lack of accountability. Your workers themselves said they were short staffed and no one was there to help them. I can have empathy for them, but I also don't think that I should be subjected to a 2 hour wait for carryout. So either you are unaware of the situation at your business or you don't care. It's Unfortunate that you would rather try to diminish my personal experience instead of just saying we messed up and take accountability.

And I've been missing out all this time?! Well, no longer. Surati is now my go to, to sate my exotic whim. This Caucasian family arrived on a sultry Friday evening. We had to wait until the monsoon had passed before we trekked to our destination. I mean to tell you, that it was a torrential downpour! But we were on a mission. As we approached, and before we even went inside, we were met with the intoxicating aroma of spice. I turned to my daughter, "uhhh Missy, I think that this is going to be epic." Oh yes, daddy, just wait. A very friendly gentleman greeted us at the counter where you order. The poor guy. He had to explain to us several times what we were ordering, as our western ears strained to capture through his thick accent. Every time he explained, and we couldn't understand, my daughters voice got louder as if that would make it better. It didn't, but it sure made it more hilarious! Communication was finally struck and so too an understanding. Our order placed, we found a corner table and settled in. It wasn't beyond our sensing, that us four were the strangers in this land. All the more appealing. It wasn't but for a few short minutes before our first dish found its way to the table. Now, before I go further, I have to warn you that I can't remember, much less, begin to pronounce the names of these items. I can only describe and tell you that they were all fantastic. Our first selection, was a platter of these crunchy puffed things. Our server explained, (a couple of times lol), how we are supposed to handle these delicate bites. "Punch a hole and put water in." We knew that he meant sauce, so that's what we did. Boy was that water ever tasty. Next were the Samosas. Yes, I know. I remembered that name. But only because my daughter kept saying get the Samosas, daddy, get the Samosas. I did, and I conquered. They didn't last long. Next up, fried spinach things. Those may have been the best of all. But wait, there's more....boy was there ever. The big dogs hit the table in short order. A giant crepe pancake stuffed with onion and potato, a spicy rice dish, and lastly a noodle dish. By the time we dug into these, the tanks were almost full, so half of it perfumed our car for the travel home. The only thing left for that evening was to engage with our dreams. At this writing, I'm still having a conversation with Gandhi while on a barge floating down the Ganges. Quick Tip: After indulging, head up the street to the Plaza Mariachi and grab yourself some cooked plantains at Tres Gauchos. Mmmmm plantainy. Those cowboys can sure rustle up a fine dessert. Muy Bueno!

Surati had been on my radar for a long while so when I drove past, I knew that I had made my mind up. Despite it being a Friday night, it wasn't very busy. The inside is small but not so much that you'd have a claustrophobic attack. Parking is easy (thankfully; a rarity these days) so after walking in... I sorta stood there. I'm not new to small mom & pops but I didn't quite know how things worked here and rather than call out, I waited to be greeted. I would have to continue to wait. No wanting to stand in silence with a nearly empty dining room, I asked about the ordering process. Maybe the kitchen (and front of house) was busy with online orders? My service was standoffish at best. Normally I would have left but open hours on Friday night can fluctuate and I didn't want to start over in another queue (it was after 7). Had I eaten in, I would have gone for a dosa. Not knowing how that would travel, I opted for Szechuan fried rice (medium). I hadn't so much as ordered and sat in a booth to look at my phone to waste some time when I was told my food was ready. Either Surati has the fastest chefs in the city or my food was not made to order -- and I certainly didn't experience the 'extras' other Yelpers describe. Not wanting to get into it, I paid and left. I came home to a generous amount of well-seasoned biryani rice and vegetables with just enough heat to let you know you're alive but not so much as to wreck your mouth. I took the W. Food was good enough and I felt that I got my money's worth. Everything else about my experience, though, led me to conclude that this would be a one and done for me. Onto the next.

It's a restaurant but you can also get some bulk Jamaican groceries too. They have so many vegan-friendly options for sides and mains. They even had some vegan desserts. I was impressed! The entrees were clearly marked V for vegan and VG for vegetarian. Their menu descriptions also took the guesswork out of determining what proteins were used. e.g. Soy Chicken, Curry Tofu, Jerk Seitan. This also helped me pick, as I am trying to avoid gluten. I was informed that all of the vegetable sides, except for anything with cheese, are vegan. SPICY JERKED SOY CHIKN (vegan) - I ordered a large plate so I could have leftovers. Both the small and large plates come with two sides, but the portion is bigger with the large. That being said, the portion was huge! The Jerk Soy Chikn was good (not spicy). I paid for an extra side so I got rice and peas, greens, and cabbage. The rice and peas tastes like it's made with coconut milk. It was some of the best rice and peas I've ever had in the USA. The greens and cabbage were very good as well, but the rice and peas were top tier. I went back and got 4 additional sides of it before leaving Nashville. VEGGIE FRIED CHIKN (vegan) - Made with soy. Coated in a seasoned batter and served with mango chutney. Delicious! I loved that chutney! I got a side of greens beans too. They were just ok. I tried the Pineapple Ginger juice. It was good and the ginger was strong. But Riddim n Spice's has better overall taste and both the pineapple and ginger taste fresher there. When I told them I was traveling 4 1/2 hours they were nice enough to package my food in travel friendly containers. I'd love to try more of their vegan options, so I'll be sure to run it back the next time I'm in Nashville.

Disappointing Experience at Jamicaway - 9/18/2026…read more My wife visited Jamicaway today, September 18, 2026, at approximately 10:22 AM and ordered her usual large spicy jerk chicken. We have been customers for years and have generally enjoyed the food and service, so what happened today was especially disappointing. While her order was being prepared, one employee had already placed chicken on the plate. Another employee came from behind the counter, went to the plate, and removed some of the better pieces of chicken that had already been selected. She then replaced them with pieces that appeared to be much lower quality, containing significantly more bones and less meat. My wife asked why the chicken was being removed from her plate, and the employee responded that the previous employee had done it incorrectly. While mistakes can happen, we were very disappointed with the way the situation was handled and, especially, with the attitude displayed toward my wife. As a longtime customer, I believe customers should receive the same quality of food and level of respect regardless of who is preparing the order. Removing the better pieces of chicken from an already prepared plate and replacing them with pieces containing considerably more bone and less meat did not leave us with a good impression. That said, I will not allow one bad experience to stop me from supporting Jamicaway. We have been coming here for years, and I hope this was simply an isolated incident. I would encourage management to look into what happened and remind staff about proper customer service and maintaining consistent food quality. We enjoy supporting local restaurants, and hopefully our next visit will be a much better experience.
