Holy Vegan Dream! This little restaurant is fantastic. I attended a brunch event there this weekend and was BLOWN COMPLETELY AWAY by the variety of food items they offer and the QUALITY!! I am NOT a foodie, but this place almost made me one. Every single item was a 5-star taste explosion -- appetizer to dessert! The owner and his staff were the most lovely people who clearly are community-focused and service experts! I am an old man and don't do lots of reviews. This place merited as good as I could offer. Cannot recommend highly enough. Even new vegans or those wanting to try it out could never do better than this gem! Welcoming and affirming of all. Get off your meatless cheeks and get over there right now! I'm serious!!! Or order for pickup or delivery service -- just give them your business!! read more

I have been to Kale My Name twice, and while I've wanted to love them, I have largely found the food underwhelming. On our most recent visit, I ordered the Combo Toasts ($19) for brunch. There are no menus distributed, so you have to scan and navigate their website on your own. It doesn't immediately take you to the brunch menu, so you have to look for it. My toasts were fine, nothing remarkable. My husband ordered the Breakfast Burrito ($19). Texture-wise, the burrito ended up being too wet - maybe from the kale? The rosemary potatoes it comes with were delicious though. All told, it's a bit pricey for the quality of the food. read more

My husband and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary today and decided to eat at Kale My Name. It's one of favorite vegan spots and it had been a while since we've eaten there because it's not close to our home....It pains me to leave this review... but I was so disappointed...I had the Southern Supper (Fried Cauliflower, Mac Ball, Garlic Kale, Homemade Fries). The Mac ball was overcooked and bland. The garlic kale was too garlicky. The fries was good. The fried cauliflower taste like fried okra. They had to changed the recipe for the cauliflower bites. The batter tastes like cornmeal. Yuck! Cornmeal should not be used for cauliflower wings. Thats like frying chicken in cornmeal. No, don't do that! My husband ordered the sliders. I guess he liked them. He ate them...The only positive was the waiter. It's too bad I didn't get his name but he was very nice and accommodating. I'll rate it a 2 instead of a 1 because of the waiter. read more

This review is specifically for the tea party Kale My Name offers. I made a reservation on open table for a tea party for 10 and confirmed on open table the day before we were set to go. When we arrived, it was very clear that the server did not know we were coming. This is absolutely not a criticism of the server at all, he did a great job with us while also being the only server in the whole place. But having worked in restaurants, when larger parties are coming in it is customary to give the people scheduled to work a head's up and it seems like that did not happen. So there was a quite a bit of a delay in getting everything set up, the tea ready, the snacks prepared, and our (included) additional drinks made. That said, that's the main reason I dropped a star. For 35/pp this is a pretty cute little way to start your day. I think the price is reflective of the quality; this isn't a fancy hotel tea service that can cost 150+ per person, but the food was delicious, there was plenty of it, we had unlimited tea, and the included additional drink (smoothie, cocktail, mimosa, etc) was a nice touch. Also, the tea sets we used were ADORABLE. I'm pretty sure they had all of us rushing out to go buy our own lol. read more

Cute little spot to grab some healthy, fun food. The sweet waffles are delicious and my friend grabbed the chilaquiles which she really enjoyed. I heard they do an afternoon tea so looking forward to trying it next time I'm in the area. read more

I've ordered from here and eaten inside and their food is just glorious. Everything is vegan, and they do not skimp on the sides. I got the jackfruit wrap (which they can also do in taco form) with the default side of fries and it was delicious and super filling. Their service is excellent - they came over frequently to make sure everything is ok, food didnt take long I highly, highly recommend getting a slice of the monthly cake they get from pie pie my darling. It's always amazing and despite it being expensive, it's gonna rock your world and be worth every penny. I got one to go since I didn't have room for it and ate it later. Regrets? Zero! read more

Everything's great except the fact that they don't serve lettuce. I won't go back until they bring in lettuce. It's unsatisfying to eat a veggie burger with raw kale instead of lettuce. I don't understand why they won't serve lettuce when lettuce is just as vegan as kale is. read more

The oyster mushroom Sammy and cauli wings are my go-to!! I have also enjoyed the garlic kale and honorable mention for the beyond sliders! This spot is phenomenal! Not only for their delicious vegan menu, but the fun and inviting atmosphere. Love to support local business, immigrant and LGBTIQ-owned businesses -- be sure to add them to your list! at this point they're definitely a Chicago staple and a must go when in Chi town. I love their vegan food and I am not even vegan; that must be saying something! read more

This was my second visit, parking was available both times though we got lucky this time. I'm not from Chicago but I've been surprised how quiet this area has been both times. Food was excellent. I got the Italian seitan wrap with fries and garlic kale. The wrap was delicious. Good flavor, satisfying mouth feel. The fries are pretty solid. Kale is quite garlicky, probably a bit strong for most people. read more

Located on the north side, I came here to celebrate my 30th birthday with a high tea celebration! It was a great experience. Even though there were a couple of snafus with the reservation, they still accommodated my party and allowed us to do the tea package. The tea was good, and since all the rest of my party are meat eaters, they were still able to enjoy some of the vegan foods. Everyone loved the avocado toast. I even got to meet the owner, who happened to be wearing purple, and he made sure I got a picture with him before we left. The service was a little slow, and we had to remind our waiter that we wanted to add additional food outside of the tea package. Street parking was available, which was great and didn't take long for me to park. The tea package comes with tea, an additional complementary beverage of your choice (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), avocado toast, red roasted pepper hummus, and a sweet Nutella strawberry banana toast. The atmosphere is versatile--you could come dressy for a brunch with friends or super casual. The TVs displayed videos of the owner talking vegan shop with another vegan food influencer. read more

The service was good, but the food was alright. I got the burger and fries. Fries came with a good portion. Overall I think the place is a bit overpriced. read more

Great food, great service! The jackfruit tacos were amazing. When this restaurant opened in my neighborhood in 2020, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm happy they made it work during all the shut downs. We ordered takeout many times, and later dined in and on the patio. Even if you're not a vegan, the food is so good there something for everyone. read more

Thank you for all the delicious food! I highly recommend it to everyone. The owner is very nice

Kevin was amazing. He was attentive, gave great suggestions, and very friendly. We heard about this place through raving reviews and it did not disappoint. The impossible nachos portion size was outrageous but wow! Melted in your mouth with such great flavor. The buffalo tofu wrap with gluten free tortilla was perfect. Great flavor all around. We paired that with the Greek fries. They were a little over cooked but it was my first time having vegan feta and it is better than dairy feta in my opinion. The spice Bloody Mary also very good. Overall, great experience. The only thing I will give a heads up to is the restaurant is a bit hot and muggy. Coming from Colorado, the humidity was tough but even inside it was pretty toasty. read more

kale my name is such a find. I went there a couple weeks ago with a friend and I loved it. I love that these types of restaurants exist outside of the usual neighborhoods. Kale My Name is Albany Park but it could easily exists closer to downtown. It feels like a destination and it doesn't disappoint. My only problem is that I couldn't eat everything on the menu. The place has a great vibe, good music playing and food was super delicious. I got the cauliflower appetizer and I cldn't stop eating them. My got the tumeric soup. It was hot and steaming and full of creamy goodness. He also got the oyster mushroom wrap and it was like a movie Gone in 60 seconds! I got the kale taco salad and my only complaint is that it was too big. I cldn't finish it. But I smashed it for dinner later that evening. we went on a Saturday afternoon but I bet it gets bumpin here at night. It felt like a real vibe and who says vegans can't be fun because I think Kale My Name would prove you wrong every time. read more
