Just the Worst ZERO STARS Happy Cow Forces 2 stars - Edit
I have to give this review context, as I am a lifelong vegan of over 30 years, and I've eaten in hundreds of vegan establishments all over the world. I want vegan restaurants to win. In fact, it is crucial that vegan restaurants excel more than any other kind of restaurant because we need the world to go vegan. This review has been about 6 months in the making, wanting this place to get its act together, to have one decent thing to eat on the menu in Joburg or Umhlanga. It has never happened and today I decided I have to write a review.
Read more6 months ago I ate at TVC in Sandton for the first time. Had a Beyond Burger and chips. The burger came on a dry bun with old wilted lettuce and zero flavor. The chips looked like they were totally raw, had been quickly dunked in some hot oil, and plopped on the plate sogging with hot oil and uncooked. They were inedible. The whole meal was revolting. Today I went to the TVC in Umhlanga after seeing a thing on tiktok where this woman was eating this huge thick "chicken" burger saying she got it at TVC in Umhlanga. I thought ok I will give them one more try. The reason I say this place is a fraud is because they are simply pedaling full blown fake advertising. The photos they post on their social media are not of things they actually have on the menu. It's a fraud to get people in there and then serve the most stale, tough, disgusting things that I don't even think you can call food. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich as lauded by the woman on Tiktok, some chips. I asked for mayo with my chips and the woman taking my order argued for 5 minutes in a barely comprehensible accent that they don't have any mayo. I pointed out that they have a chicken mayo sandwich on the menu so how can it be they have no mayo, she went around in circles for 5 minutes saying they had no mayo. They bring the sandwich out 20 minutes later, I'm the only one there. I kid you not, it's a square shaped piece of breaded shoe leather that was supposed to be a chicken patty, and it's pounded to 2mm depth. Just look at the photos, I have no more room to finish my review. This place is the worst, the food is inedible, the service clueless. The positive reviews on google have to be written by friends and family this place is giving vegan food a bad name which is why it's empty.
Pros: nothing
Cons: Food is inedible, Staff is clueless , No ambience, place is thread bare and downtrodden

Wait the owner comes in here and reviews their own place giving it 5 stars when the food is absolutely inedible?

Don't get excited - Edit
I have tried almost every menu item more than once, refusing to give up on this great concept. Unfortunately, I have now resolutely accepted defeat. The offering always leaves me disappointed, except for one order of the sugared cinnamon donuts in 2018. All the fried items - southern fried chicken, chicken wings, vish, chips and donuts - are too oily. The rotis are so skimpy thin and small that you need at least 3. The mince and vish curries are nice. The wrap has mostly mayo, not enough chicken strips or even salad. The cupcakes are dry. If they solve the oily and skimping issues, this will be a winner.

Thank you for writing an honest review.
Read moreI too wanted to give them a chance more than once and the only thing you can bank on every single time is that the food is totally disgusting, it's just awful and the management literally keeps hawking it.
