Great portion sizes and flavor!

The flavor and uniqueness of the dishes was amazing! We came back twice in one weekend. I love that you can pick from such a variety of choices and let me tell you, two of us split a plate and were so full! It’s a really great option to take to go and have a vegan picnic (there is some casual seating as well). My favorite item was the orange chickun cauliflower (not pictured).

The best vegan place in Nola

This is a must go to place if you're vegan in New Orleans. I usually order enough to last me two meals. It's cafeteria style. The people who work there are great. Everything has a little bit of sweetness to it. cornbread is awesome.

Pros: All vegan soul food, Big portions , Friendly

Amazing food! Changed travel plans just to have it again

Tried this place during Mardi Gras on a trip west and the cauliflower wings and cashew Mac just stuck in our heads for the rest of the trip so we had to get some more on our way from New Mexico to North Carolina. It was pretty out of the way but definitely worth it. Delicious and generously portioned. Fully vegan so everything is worth a try.

Excellent vegan soul food

Very hefty portions for a fair price. Delicious!! Has to go twice because it was that good. The vegan mac n cheese was creamy and yummy. Some of the breaded items were a bit soggy if the trays weren’t fresh.

Pros: All vegan, Sizable portions , Affordable

Cons: Far away

Amazing soul food

We made a special bus trip to go here and it didn’t disappoint. They do different food each day and you can choose a selection of 1-4 dishes. We tried a variety of different dishes and our favourites were the sweet fried cauliflower, jambalaya and the green beans. It was really fresh food, big portions, reasonably priced and great to try tradition soul food.

We wanted to take home more!

Pros: All vegan , Traditional food, Lots of choice

Options for everyone!

I stopped by Sweet Soulfood for lunch. I was impressed with the wide variety of options and very reasonable pricing.

I selected the Pick Four so I could try several things. I ordered the Cajun Curry, the Jambalaya, Mac & Cheese, and Bread Pudding.

The Mac & Cheese was too sweet and not savory enough for my taste (I suppose there's a reason why this business is called "Sweet" Soulfood😄), but everything else was delicious! I hadn't ever tried Bread Pudding before, and I really enjoyed it!

Pros: Wide variety of options that changes daily, Very reasonable prices, Friendly Staff

Soul food

This place has been the best for me so far. I've been there 2xs and the food has been delicious. Orange cauliflower wings wow, mac and cheese wow, fried rice wow. I can't wait to go again. The price was reasonable and they have some pretty amazing drinks.

Pros: Definitely great vegan options

Cons: I wish they would open till later.

Wow!

I chose Mac and cheese as my main the Mac and cheese. Then I chose the cornbread dressing and got two scoops. I had the bread pudding with the rum sauce. Then I got a large brownie to go. I wish I had gotten the collard greens but I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat the carb fest I had ordered. The Mac and cheese was one of the best vegan Mac and cheese I ever ate. The seasoning was great. The cornbread dressing tasted like the filling in a stuffed crab. It was chef's kiss delicious! The bread pudding and the brownie were both great as well. The cornbread dressing was the star of the meal for me. The staff were very nice and friendly.

Food for the soul

The food was great! Mac and cheese was okay but the jambalaya and Okra gumbo hit the spot. I also got a cornbread to go and it was delicious! The staff was very friendly. Would definitely go back again.
