Every time it is delicious!

I go here with my meat eating son. We love it. Haven’t had anything bad yet, and been here at least 15 times.

Pros: An actual separate vegan menu-Ask for it!

Cons: Limited space and out of the way...

Great vegan option restaurant

I was pleased to see they have a paired down vegan menu so no need to go through the main menu and question each dish. Very nice. The food was delicious and staff super friendly. Will return

Pros: quality, variety

Cons: parking cramped in back

Good food

The place is set back among some trees, so we almost drove right past it. From the parking lot, we weren't sure if it was a restaurant, but soon found tables outside that assured us it was. Once inside, we were pleasantly surprised by the nice decor. The menu had only 3 vegan main dishes. We shared an appetizer (Pakora). two out of three of us liked it. The sauce has a strong celantro taste. My daughter had the Indian Thall Plate. I opted for the Florida Citrus salad. I was expecting a larger portion for my $9, but it was really good. The other person, ate a non-vegan dish that she enjoyed.

Pros: good food, nice decore, friendly staff

Cons: Salad was expensive for what you get, Can easily drive right past the place., Not a large selection of vegan

Love this place

Great atmosphere and super-friendly staff. Yes, the menu can be a bit pricey, but this place is all about quality. You can tell the chefs put their all into the dishes. Beautifully seasoned and cooked. I don't go here very often, but when I eat out and feel like having a genuinely good meal, this place is at the top of my list.

Pros: quality of food, atmosphere, staff

Cons: price
