Unique Options

Warm and bustling atmosphere inside. The type of place to go with friends or a date. Vegan/Vegetarian options are well marked on menu. Plenty of vegan options. The vegan paella was good, but it could have used more spice to it. Overall enjoyable experience.

Pros: veg options well marked, environment

Cons: prices a bit high, more spice

Lively Environment

We loved the food at this restaurant. The Vegan Paella was amazing! Also the jerk tofu. Many more vegan options available. A fun atmosphere right on Main Street in Pleasanton.

Really good vegan options

I was impressed by the vegan options and the knowledge of the staff around plant-based food. Really delicious food, surprising in taste, flavors and variety. We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely come back. Ideal place to invite your non-vegan friends so that everyone is happy!

Pros: Great vegan options, Delicious food, Nice ambiance

Great Vegan options

Many vegan options! The food is a creoli food originated in Guayana, with influences from India and Venezuela. We ate the Vegan Paella and the Jerk tofu. Both were really really good. These guys know how to work with tofu and vegetables. The drinks are also good. Highly recommended.

Amazing Vegan Paella

We had their Vegan Paella Family Dinner during the shelter in place and it was some of the best food I've ever had. My wife thought it was a little oily for her taste, but I loved it.

Cons: A bit oily, according to my wife.

So Flavorful!

It is so wonderful to get a delicious vegan dish in the Tri-Valley. We tried all of the labeled vegan options and they were so outstanding, my favorite was the vegan paella. The paella had king oyster mushrooms, hearts of palm and more inside, such a unique vegan find! The service was superb too! Our waitress was so kind and patient with our large group of 10- we will be going back soon.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great beer and cocktail selection , Large space for groups

Amazing food & atmosphere

After many years of struggling to find nice places that accommodate the whole family (vegans and non-vegans), this restaurant has now become one of my favorite Pleasanton staples. They have many vegan options that are clearly labeled, and offer foods that are truly unique and delicious. They recently added vegan jerk tofu and vegan paella, and their pholouries are to die for. Their carrot soup is also a must. The drinks/vibe/service is also amazing. Highly recommend!
