    Vegan Planet Cafe is amazing! I came with my best friend, and my fries were a hit! With the mushrooms dipped in mango habanero sauce! I loved their vegan sour cream, and sorrel! If you are in Norfolk and looking to try something New! Definitely give Vegan Planet Cafe a try! The owner is amazing, and so friendly! It's a peaceful atmosphere, and family friendly!

    Chicken sammie
    Gin S.

    I just had the best vegan chicken sammie of my life @ Vegan Planet in Norfolk (it's on Granby next to brows & Meows inside Conscious Planet) First of all you walk (or in my case wobble - I'm disabled and use crutches on my good days to walk) into this place & it immediately makes you feel peaceful. The owner saw me coming from the lot across the street (I'm not the best parallel parker lol) & jumped up to get the door for me. Their menu is plentiful & I couldn't decide so I took their recommendation (next time I'm trying the burger) & I was not disappointed. Crispy, juicy, so flavorful. There was spinach tomato and pickles on it and it was enormous. I looked them up and they have ZERO health code violations. The bookstore is spiritually based and geared mostly toward the African American community. There was a lot of info on the Orishas & they had crystals and some really cool jewelry. The vibe is so wonderful. They were playing good music and everyone was incredibly friendly. If you're in Norfolk I highly recommend you check it out. 10/10 would reccommend. I will absolutely be back.

    The fries are not deep fried which is a healthier choice but something to note before you order them. They were cooked in an air fryer they were hot and done but soggy. The vegan sausage and burger was good. They were out of mac and cheese and nachos. This one our main reason for stopping in. The atmosphere was welcoming.

    The food was very very very bland. The oxtails was a mixture of potatoes, black-eye peas and lima beans in a gravy, more so like a bean stew served over rice and peas. The rasta pasta was dry. The chicken sandwich with the air fryer fries was ok. Sorry to say... but I won't be returning ever again.

    Can I just say I absolutely love this place !!!!! From the great energy to the amazing food. These burgers are so juicy and full of flavor and the rasta smack I am absolutely obsessed with!! Me and my gf are pretty much regulars at this point. But it was our initial first encounter that made us loyal customers, the vibe is so chill and all about the people ! our first time trying them we had such an enlightening conversation with the owner he was so genuine and full of positive energy. Don't take my word for it try them yourself!!!

    Cheesesteak, veggies with a jerk-style sauce.

    The flavors are delicious! Great ingredients. So hot and fresh and tasty. Awesome spot for carryout!!

My husband always says he wouldn't know the food is vegan if i didn't tell him, it is always so filling & flavorful! The ambiance in here is so chill! I love that there are books, artwork, crystals & spiritual things for sale, but also a mini library & some chess tables & things to enjoy as well. This space always feels welcoming & peaceful & well worth their prices with their portions & unique offerings! The first time i went, it was a little confusing because there is only street parking & Jikoni cafe is inside of House of Consciousness, but they are the perfect place if you are looking for a little bit of magic & a good bite to eat!

    We stopped by for dinner. I got the chili bowl and jabini pasta. My sister got the kush salad and a…read morechili bowl also. They sell different vegan dishes and most have what they call kush in them. It seems to be some sort of grain, but I really don't know. But I do like it. They have Alfredo, nachos, Mac n cheese, desserts, and smoothies. Some of the food is reasonable and some is pricey. A few desserts were $10-$15. I wanted to try them, but not for that price. We placed our order and looked around the store. They have updated the store/restaurant, so it's a more modern vibe. You can read books or hang out inside, so that's cool. The restroom was clean. There was plenty of seating to dine in. The store side sells books, crystals, jewelry, and more!! The cashier and cook were both very friendly!! I'm not vegan so I stick to what taste familiar to me to be safe. The chili is good, you wouldn't even know it's vegan. Definitely get the vegan nacho cheese to kick it up a notch. It also comes with chips. The alfredo came with veggies and kush. I'm glad it was saucy. I got it fully loaded so it came with a hash brown on top also. It was pretty good, but could use a little more seasoning to elevate the taste.. The last time I ate here the portions were a little larger, they seem to be noticeably smaller this time, so that's the only difference I've noticed. The kush usually confuses my stomach for a few days afterwards. It also may make you feel full faster but, I think it's worth trying. If your a vegan you should check them out, but even if you're not you can probably find something to try! Check them out!!

    Yendidi has been on my Yelp radar for years, but never found time to try them out. Their flagship…read morelocation is in Norfolk where they even have a grocery market. A few years ago, they opened this location which has a bar and dine-in service. Sophia and I joined a friend of ours for lunch on Saturday. Let's see how the event turned out. I happened to place a reservation for our table the previous night, but since there weren't many people present, it wasn't necessary. The staff greeted us when we walked inside and got seated immediately. The decor inside was really nice. There's artwork abound, a bar and even a foosball table. Simply put, you should not be bored at a place like this. After looking at the menu, we were all ready to order. I selected their cabbage stew with chicken as the protein with plain jasmine rice and sweet plantains. Overall, the food was good. The stew was presented with medium spice so it definitely had my lips burning (a great thing) and the rice was well cooked. The plantains had flavor, but I felt it was overcooked. It has been a minute since I've eaten plantains but they were always a bit soft. The stew did have plenty of chicken but it could've been cut to slightly smaller pieces. Still, the meal had yours truly full and I did takeout. So did Sophia and our friend. All in all, I had a really nice time. The hospitality was really nice (the owner actually came to our table to check on us) and the food was plentiful. Oh yeah, we even had a robot bring our food to us. How cool is that??!! Anyways, till next time :)

    My wife and I had friends coming into town over the weekend and I suggested meeting up at Yendidi,…read moreas my friend loves African cuisine. I have been to Yendidi two times prior and have had great experiences both times. However, this particular time left a LOT to be desired. I've previously visited Yendidi during the week and around late afternoon/early evening. They have good happy hour deals and they allow you to order off their lunch menu well into the evening which I appreciate. Since my friends got into town late we ended up visiting Yendidi around 7:30pm on Sunday evening. When we sat down and were getting ready to order our waitress informed us of a laundry list of food options they had run out of (chicken, shrimp, plantains, jollof rice, white rice, beef patties, bread rolls, and samosas). This really limited the availability of options that we could choose from on their extensive menu. I would highly recommend having a white board or some way of communicating what options are not available before customers sit down so that they can make an informed decision about whether to dine at this location or go somewhere else with more options. My friends ordered the goat suya and chicken suya (they apparently still had a small amount of chicken left) and they both enjoyed their appetizers. The meat was very tender and well seasoned. I was relieved that things were taking a turn for the better but unfortunately I was disappointed again. My friend ordered the pepper soup and the wrong entree came out...twice! The waitress didn't give a sincere apology and it took my friend about an hour to get the correct entree. His correct order came out around 8:45pm (Yendidi closes at 9pm) and I could tell he didn't have enough time to enjoy his food. He ate about half of it and didn't even box up the rest (likely because they were staying at a hotel). My wife and I ordered the Waakye Special with a side of sweet potato fries. Fortunately our orders were correct and our food was tasty. Though I much preferred a side of jollof rice or plantains like I normally get, I was satisfied with my meal specifically. Given the lack of food options available and the lack of accuracy with my friend's order I believe their whole meal should've been complimentary or at least significantly discounted (i.e 50% off). I was so disappointed and embarrassed that their dining experience was so subpar. I expect much more out of Yendidi since I've had such better experiences in the past and I've met the owners. I hope they reach out and make this experience right. This restaurant provides tasty authentic West African food but I highly recommend coming during the weekday and or before 7:30pm to ensure that you have the best dining experience. Also, ask for Connie, she's a super jovial waitress.
