South African/American Vegan Food - Awesome Vibe - Edit
Wow! I think this has to be my overall favorite vegan restaurant I've been to and I'm always traveling and trying new vegan places. They have EVERYTHING! Breakfast, entrees, south african food, american options, boozy ice cream drinks, a deli section, a bakery section, homemade cheese and seitan. The outdoor patio is such a great positive vibe, also was able to be there during live music. The owner and staff are super friendly and overall I had such an amazing experience here.

Food wasn’t good, but nice atmosphere - Edit
I’m trying to find different vegan spots and I ran across Oh My Soul. First I want to say is my daughter find it hilarious that almost all vegan spots are in lil house’s turned restaurant. But it was a really nice atmosphere. I loved the outside setting and live music. It’s awesome that you get your own water and to go supplies.
Read moreNow to the food. I gave it 3 stars because it’s very tiny on the inside because they have so much stuff taking up space. Drink cooler, sweets station, cheese station, and where you order takes up the half of the space. When I walked in with a party of 3 there were 4 other ppl waiting to order and we were literally standing in front of the door and couldn’t move.
The food is extremely pricey. I’ve never paid $75 for myself and my two kids for vegan food and I think we got the basic food.
My daughter and I ordered the Vish and chips and it came with jalapeño cheesy hush puppies and the lady said that was the best seller.
My honest opinion it was nasty made from banana blossom. I’ve made way tastier versions at home with banana blossom and eggplant. The banana blossom was watery when i bit into it and no seasoning on the crust. Really was nothing compared to fish at all. I thought it was a hush puppy at first. The hush puppies were the best a tad bit spicy but I would order those again separately.
My son had the beyond burger and he said it was like one I fix them at home. Nothing to really brag about.
All in all I might would try them again and get something different. But I wasn’t impressed at all when my meal. I couldn’t even finish the Vish. Only ate half of it.

Incredible experience all around - Edit
The vibe in this place is so beautiful from the moment you walk in. They're adequately staffed and everyone is sweet, knowledgeable and working as a team. Front of house, bartender, runners, and deli staff all went above and beyond. Food was the best I had in Charlotte. There was live music as well under the tent and it was just an all around great experience.

This place was a gem of a find. The food was exceptional and the service was outstanding. I believe it was the owner that helped us and she was more than wonderful at explaining the menu and making recommendations. The live music was also great.

So good! - Edit
We ate here for lunch today and it was SO good!! I got the bbq vibs and my husband got the hippie chick burger. Both were incredible! The flavor was wonderful, slightly spicy but not too over the top. I got the jalapeño hush puppies on the side and they were also very good. The service was wonderful and the food was hot and fresh. I’m here from out of town but will 100% be back next time I’m in the area!

Delicious Despite My Dislike - Edit
Yummy and ample options for gf. Loved the sweet potato fries (tho you can never go wrong) and mozzarella sticks. Not a big fan of American food but was content with my burger and sides. Messed up my mom's order. (I think they were confused on the gf substitutes.)

A fun place to eat with a lot to offer - Edit
Oh My Soul is in a beautiful old house that's been converted into a restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly, and my meal was both interesting and delicious. The dine-in patio they have in the back (their only dine-in option) is spacious and comfortable even on a cold day.

Amazing Food & Atmosphere - Edit
During my long weekend visiting Charlotte, this was definitely my favorite food stop! The amount of options they have is amazingly overwhelming! From their brunch or lunch/dinner menu, to their dessert and deli counters, there are so many great foods to choose from.
Read moreFor dinner I ordered the Grilled Vicken & Friendly Bacon Ranch Wrap ($15) and my dad got the Durbanite Gatsby ($20). While I still believe that all of their menu options are too expensive, the amount of food each item comes with is daunting, which makes up for the price a little. The Wrap went way beyond my expectations in flavor. The fresh greens and creamy ranch dressing mixed throughout easily made it my favorite dish of the trip. It did come with a side and I chose the potato salad. It was very bland and did not match my experience with their other food unfortunately. My dad, an omni, very much enjoyed his food, but even more so the atmosphere.
There is no seating inside of Oh My Soul, but there is a ton available all around the building. There's a giant party tent and heaters in the back, but this could be a little bit of a stretch for winter dining. On the Friday night we visited, there was a great band playing in the tent and a lively crowd spilling into all corners of their lot. Outside you will also find a tiki-like bar if you're interested in any alcoholic drinks. Tables were low top picnic style. The back area was thick gravel, which didn't seem like it would meet ADA compliance and may make seating difficult for those needing those considerations.
Pros: Great Flavor, Large Portions, Lively Atmosphere
Cons: High Prices

Best of the Best - Edit
One of my favorite vegan restaurants. Went to the Durban location first in South Africa. Was happy to find they had a location in the states. South African cuisine, all vegan. Everything I've had on the menu was great! Check out the episode I did of Young, Black and Vegan there. I tried plate after plate of food and it was all 🔥 Good vibes at this place. They have like music on certain nights and a bar in the back if you drink #Veganuary

Fave Vegan Joint - Edit
This South African vegan joint is always popping. They have a very very long menu of burgers, waffles, shakes, appetizers, baked goods, and overall delights. A great place to take people who aren’t vegan as well as the flavors and spices do NOT disappoint. The staff is exceptional and the food is out of this world. As an order at the counter and receive a number place, everything runs quiet smoothly—even when there is barely any seating room available!! LOVE

Good food but not hot - Edit
We stopped here for a quick meal while driving thru Charlotte. As ethical vegans, we really appreciated the in-your-face veganism demonstrated through signs, literature & the t-shirts that the staff wears. I disagree with a previous reviewer who said this wouldn’t be a good place to take non vegans; I’d say it’s perfect and a good way to have a conversation about the hows and whys.
Read moreThere is a huge menu with a wide range of options. There are healthy options, gluten free option, and lots of fried/junk food options. Really something for everybody.
Unfortunately, everything we ordered was barely lukewarm. Our food arrived pretty quickly so I don’t really understand how it could get cold so fast unless maybe they reheat food that is cooked ahead of time or something like that. We had jalapeño poppers that were totally cold in the middle with no melty cheese , which kinda defeats the purpose. The Buddha bowl was really tasty but not hot. The chick’n & waffles was again pretty cold, which meant that the waffles were not crisp like they should’ve been.
The flavor of the food was good to very good but the fact that everything was cold really was a bummer. I’d still come back & give them another try. Maybe it was just an off day.

Vegans paradise - Edit
If you are in town don’t think twice! It’s an awesome place and there’s so many food options. We were not disappointed. The space as a whole gives clear messages in regards to veganism & it may make non-vegans feel uncomfortable so I would be mindful of this. All in all I was impressed the food was so incredible and flavorful 9.5/10! They have a whole food menu, smoothies, a deli & bakery all vegan. Wow just wow
Read moreWe came back! The nachos are 10/10 throughout the whole time we ate them we kept noticing different flavors and ingredients. Truly incredible and so filling. I ate this with my partner but it could easily be an appetizer for 3-4 people. I also got the mozzarella sticks but they ended up being nothing special unfortunately so I would give those a 4/10. The marinara was super cold and there was a 80 to 20 percent breading to cheese ratio so that was upsetting.

Great spot! - Edit
Recently moved to the area and we love that we found a go-to vegan spot with great food & atmosphere. Bit on the pricier side, but I’ll still give 5 stars. They have amazing burgers, wraps, and they just opened their deli - the cheese is AMAZING! Live music in the patio is a bonus.

Great vegan South African food. We order appetizers I can tell you the shrimps and the rolls are amazing a must but they are big. Does Chachalaca sandwich entrée is so good yum and the potato salad is amazing. The desserts wow. Let me not start on the deli meats and cheese made in house. The decor is so cute and eclectic. Also fun fact there is one in South Africa 🇿🇦
