    True food kitchen is beautiful. It's a great place to sit in. The ambience is amazing. It's a awesome place. I would take a meeting with someone but unfortunately the service and the food disappointment went for lunch with my dad and tried the air fried chicken. I had a weird consistency as if it was processed or premade which goes against what true food does so it seemed weird. We also had two side salads which were OK, but one of the salads had roasted carrots in them, but some were so big and that you had to cut with a knife and we're still hard but some pieces really soft, which made it interesting while eating. But I think what made the lunch. The worst wasn't even the food. It was a service. There was only one waitress working in the dining room and she seemed to be training someone which is completely understandable but we waited for 15 minutes to get our check after we asked two people. Can we get to go cups and a check and they told us they couldn't do that which came across as bad service because if you're only server being slammed, you can't even accommodate the tables with to go cups while she's printing our check. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and the service was too , but it's definitely beautiful inside.

    True Food Kitchen never misses on the quality of food. We started with the seasonal watermelon salad and the grilled cauliflower. They both were amazing, but little on the small side. The star was the turkey burger. It was thick, juicy and delicious! The grass fed burger was good with their new air fried fries with the peri peri ketchup. I had hoped for the peri peri ketchup was a bit more spicier; but overall it was good.

    I think this place is great in theory but a bit overhyped. It is pricey but that's expected for quality ingredients. I've ordered twice here and it's just ok. I had a turkey burger prior and it was pretty but kind of tasteless. Today I ordered a margarita pizza. It was decent and I could count the 6 pieces of large basil on it. The good part was the tomato sauce was cooked well and wasn't overly acidic. The Brussels sprouts were also just ok. They weren't crispy like I expected and used a tad bit too much soy for my liking. I think the weirdest thing was I ordered an adaptogenic tulsi tea and I guess they didn't have any so they sent salad instead. I'm not sure how that's comparable but ok.

    It was clean, we were greeted and the hosted was nice. Venue was real nice.. however the food wasn't very good. The quality is much less than what we are used to at other locations... more so Atlanta .... We won't be back to the Nola location.

    Butternut Squash Soup

    Came to the city for a date night and was looking for places that had good Gluten Free options on the menu. After doing a little research we came across this place and - I have to say - it did not disappoint at all. We were greeted at the door by Holly who was our server for the night and did a great job of taking care of us all evening. The atmosphere was what I would call "Industrial Chic" with lots of space and as a result, not noisy and it actually felt very intimate. For appetizers we had the Roasted Brussels Sprouts and the Butternut Squash Soup. The Brussels were very well done and the soup was thick, creamy, and had a delightful sweetness to it. Easily could have been a dessert. For the mains we had a Chicken Parmagiana and a Thai Peanut Noodle Bowl - both very nicely done. And the portion sizes were very generous - both of us brought plenty home for the next day. For dessert we had the Flourless Chocolate Torte Cake with Vanilla ice cream that had a crunchy, almond, caramel business going on for the topping. Just delicious and also glad we split it! Very nice evening in downtown New Orleans - highly recommended!

    I have a very sensitive stomach and can't eat many things so I always lean trying new vegan food options in places I visit and they did not disappoint! This is my now go to spot for delicious food and great service from staff. Teddy was my server one night and the beautiful curly haired bartender who I can't remember her name took care of me another night and both times the food and drinks were amazing and I felt tight at home. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

    This is the first place I found upon arriving in New Orleans and I was thrilled! It's spacious and sunny inside. There's a brunch menu, bowls and main courses. They also have an extensive drink menu. I had the Korean noodle bowl and it was delicious. The spicy flavors stayed pleasantly on my lips after I finished. I want to go back tomorrow for brunch and get gluten-free pancakes!

    My mom enjoyed her salad
    Ellery D.

    I took my mom here for her last meal in the city. She's usually not able to eat out as she is allergic to *everything* so I thought this would be a good bet to find her a salad. I had passed it many times, and always wondered why it was so empty. Thought maybe it was the location or that NOLA folks aren't into healthy stuff. To start, the place is stylish. Their interior decorator knows their stuff, because the whole vibe is sleek and modern and highly instagramable with a limited palette of greens and beige and a fabulously artistic collage against the back wall. The staff are nice, too. They were helpful and attentive throughout our meal. Now, the food... The first thing you notice is that the prices are kinda crazy. I paid 22 dollars for a double veggie cheeseburger with a small side of sweet potato home fries. My mom's salad was like 17 dollars and there wasn't much to it since she had to have most things omitted due to allergies (not their fault, but definitely steep for spring mix). It took a while for our food to arrive, and when it did, I was not just underwhelmed, but confused. My burger was a nice big size with two patties, but the lettuce... how can one even describe it? It reminded me not of greens or any other vegetable, but of fabric or perhaps a used coffee filter, in texture. It was completely and utterly limp (see picture for reference). I hate to be that person, but I called over a server and asked them to replace it. We requested salt too, as there was none on the table or in the food. They took away my plate (unnecessary, they could have just brought me a new leaf) and eventually brought it back with a very scant amount of new lettuce--mostly rind--but at least it was crisp. The salt shaker they brought was literally empty so we had to have that swapped too. Now, the burger itself... The patties were good. They were flavorful and had a nice chewy texture. It was, however, extremely hard to eat as there was no mayo, no mustard--nothing but dry bun. And no acid to add a much needed pop of tanginess. A simple pickle would have done wonders, or a slice of fresh onion or cuke. The onion was bland and softened somehow, so it lacked the crisp crunch I was expecting. I requested mayo and ketchup, and they brought me some in little cups. Sadly they didn't have mustard. The sauces made it far more edible, but there was still something off--something missing that took it from being truly enjoyable to being just palatable. The sweet potato home fries should come free with the meal. Sorry, but if you're paying 20 bucks from one burger, that burger needs to come with a decent side--one that is served hot and crisp, not lukewarm, leathery, and sauceless as these were. My mom enjoyed her salad. She almost never eats out, and it was nice to see her eat something alongside me at the table, so for that I have given a third star. Were I going solely on my own impression, I would have given two. So that's why they're always empty, y'all. I so badly wanted to like this place. Wanted to give them a glowing review, but I had to be honest. There's a lot that needs to be worked out, and I hope they do, because it's a lovely concept. We need more healthy options in this city! I *may* eventually return and try a different dish like the butternut pizza. Perhaps they were just having an off night.

    Jonathan T.

    Great space! Service is really great with plenty of healthy food options from salads to grain bowls and other options if you're looking for health alternatives. Happy hour is a great time to go as well. Dinner for two during this time was a great price as well. Will be back to check out their brunch.

    Food: really tasty and filling portions. Lots of fresh ingredients and tons of greens! Vegetarian Options: yes Vegan Options: yes Pricing: on the pricier side but that's expected with healthy, vegan, or vegetarian food Seating: decent amount of seating, likely not long wait times unless really busy Atmosphere: lovely atmosphere with lots of colors and great art Service: service is very slow, even when it's not busy unfortunately

    Maybe because I'm from another urban city with amazing vegan food but this vegan burger left me pretty unsatisfied. It was a little bland and pretty pricy! The kale salad was really tasty with a great dressing. The ambiance was nice and clean but The service was pretty slow, my waiter was training someone which might be the reason for the delay but they forgot my hot sauce for like 10-15 minutes despite me asking twice, and my sandwich got soggy in the meantime. I had their cold brew coffee which was really tasty and had a ton of cinnamon on top(see attached picture)

Great option for vegetarians honestly. Falafel - comes with toum and the green sauce, very yummy, well fried Hummus with bread was also really good. Wish we had more bread though. French fries - I was skeptical when my friend recommended this but honestly, nicely salted fries and perfect vessel for dipping into all the various sauces. The vegetable plates were absolutely delicious. The seasonal vegetable they had at the time was broccoli with harissa sauce which was yummy and I wish we had more of, honestly. The kale and cabbage salad was so good and refreshing. I'm normally not the biggest fan of kale but this salad was just so good, definitely recommend a large portion to share with everyone. We also got pickled cauliflowers as well, very fresh. Definitely loved all the sauces and all the vegetables. Felt like everything was very flavorful and refreshing. The move is definitely to share a bunch of dishes with friends so you get a little of every yummy thing. I would say that the 7 plates (including 2 falafel and 1 large kale salad) we got were enough for the 4 of us to feel comfortably satiated.

It ended up being one of my favorite meals in NOLA -- I wished I could've eaten a second plate of that stuff! We checked out the actual veggie fest the next day. There was a very interesting unprocessed food demo and talk by chef AJ. She made a couple different raw snacks using no salt, sugar, or oil, and passed out samples after each demo. Everything was delicious! Inside the large vendor area there were many different businesses with fliers and samples. There was also a stand selling fresh, all-natural fruit juice for only $3, but man, that was not tasty stuff. Totally devoid of sweetness, heh. Loved the beautiful chickens at the a bird rescue booth! I just wish there were more cooked food vendors.
