    The food is well cooked and unique. The staff is friendly enough to make it feel like home. The building looks like a historical landmark inside celebrating our roots. Whether you're vegan or not, they will have something you like and they're right off the highway.

    Vegan Burrito Bowl

    The vegan burrito bowl was amazing. The service was with a smile as usual. The atmosphere is always very calming and welcoming! I will defiantly be back

    Absolutely amazing! The food, the staff, the atmosphere. I was looking for a restaurant that served both plant based food (vegan type) for my husband and regular meat based food for myself and this was a home run! We were enjoying our food so much that my husband who likes to take pictures of food nearly forgot to take any. Hubbies vegan mushroom Swiss chicken sandwich was a hit and his purple rain smoothie was amazing. There was a slight miscommunication and instead of beef I got a turkey burger patty with my bbq bacon burger but I decided to just try it first before saying anything and I am glad the mistake was made because I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! I've never liked a turkey burger before and I've tried a few. I liked it so much that if I'm able to make it here again (I live 5+ hr away) I will be torn between having the turkey burger or the beef! They also make a delicious hibiscus tea! So if you eat meat this place is for you, if you don't eat meat this place is for you. If you want a smoothie or hibiscus tea or a cocktail or beer (among other things!!) this place is for you. If you want a relaxed vibe this place is for you..... basically- go give it a try!!

    Sankofa is a must if you are in the DFW area! Fresh, real, seasoned ingredients that are made by a wonderful loving family- can never go wrong with that! They offer A rather straightforward menu either you want vegan or meat style. The meats they offer are chicken. Seafood, turkey and recently added beef. The menu is literally divided in half for vegans and meat eaters. Example: they will have a turkey spaghetti and a vegan spaghetti or a fish Poboy and a vegan fish Poboy. And when you order the fish it is not just frozen vegan fish they actually marinate eggplant I believe in order to achieve the fish fillet affect. They definitely knocked all of their vegan recipes out of the park! If you are vegan I recommend you try but even meat eaters need to try Sankofa kitchen!! Hibiscus tea is a must!!! We buy the biggest container they have every time. When you walk in you are always greeted with a very warm hello and you immediately settle in to a calm Zen. The interior and art gives you vibes of a jazz lounge but centered around the kitchen. While you wait you can also shop their handmade soaps , black educational books, and even some art.

    Mushroom Swiss cheese turkey burger with sweet potato fries

    The turkey mushroom Swiss burger was amazing. It was seasoned well. It brought me back to the memories of those old school burgers you can't find anymore. The turkey burger was made to perfection The sweet potatoes fries accented the turkey burger well!

    Samosa is a gem offering clean vegan cuisine for the entire family. We ordered loaded vegan and turkey nachos. We also ordered a kids grilled cheese and fries. The family who is servicing was so kind and the kitchen staff delivered food piping hot extremely quick. We loved the e food and will definitely be back to visit again. When you try it- definitely get the nachos(2 people can dine on it together)

    4.8 Let me put y'all on to a hidden gem…read more Crunchy B's is a Black-owned dessert spot specializing in cookies and homemade ice cream--and babyyy, they do NOT disappoint. We first ordered through Uber Eats and loved it so much, we looked them up and realized they were right near us in Lancaster! Since then, we've been consistent supporters because it's just THAT good. Now let's talk favorites. The honey butter cornbread cookies?! Don't be taken aback by the name. Absolute perfection--soft, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth GOOD. And the Oreo cookies?? Whew... easily top tier For the ice cream, the buttered pecan is smooth, creamy, and full of flavor And the cookies n creme?? Loaded, delicious, and everything you want it to be Take home message: If you're anywhere near Lancaster, you NEED to check them out and support this amazing Black-owned business Trust me--you'll be hooked just like we are!

    We did not know this place existed. It was my son's girlfriend's birthday and she doesn't do cake…read more My son told me about this new place that is LocALLy owned just minutes away. It's located in the same shopping area as the Lancaster Cinema Movies by Aaron's. It does need more marketing and the tree in front of placed in a different place. It's there! Don't drive by it. Why not try it? We went on a Sunday around 2pm and my nose appreciated it tremendously. For the grand opening, all guests were invited to "sign the wall". The wall had 100s of signatures. We were greeted by a newly employed, friendly Miss. The store was clean, clean, clean. FRESH! One large cookie was $3. Special for multiple cookies purchased. They offered minis too. Day old cookies (what's that?) were only $8 for a bag. Did I mention their ice cream? Everything was great. A lil pricey, but we need to support our community FIRST. We will be back.

    The portions are huge, so you'll definitely have leftovers. I mixed the Mardi Gras potato with the…read moreAlfredo pasta, and it was honestly one of the best combinations I've had. The Alfredo sauce was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, while the Mardi Gras sauce added just the right amount of Cajun flavor and spice. Mixing the two together took it to another level. The potato itself was loaded, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. There is a bit of a wait, but everything is made fresh, and you can definitely taste the difference. The quality and flavor make it well worth the wait. If you're in Dallas and craving soul food with a creative twist, Mary's Twisted Kitchen is a must-try. Great food, generous portions, and flavors that'll have you planning your next visit before you even finish your meal!

I appreciated the use of a beeper system while waiting--it's an efficient way to manage guests. However, the wait ended up being longer than expected, even though the restaurant didn't appear particularly busy. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. The potato itself was unseasoned, and the Cajun sauce was poured on so heavily that it overwhelmed the dish rather than complementing it. The grilled chicken also tasted somewhat processed. I ended up adding sea salt just to finish the meal. I didn't personally try the salad, but my relative said it was good, although it could have used a bit more dressing. Overall, the food lacked the flavor and balance I was hoping for.
