Atiya Ola's Spirit First Foods

#ThankYouThursday This is late for ThankYouThursday, but I want to thank you for continuing to run and serve super healthy, delicious tasting food. Wish I knew about it 10 years ago. Thank you for being on TooGoodToGo even before it was popular. Those 30 minutes trips to have your food were totally worth it, and hope to be able to attend some fun events in your new location

Great service, delicious healthy food and black owned. The staff is friendly. My visits are always pleasant and welcoming. The food is outstanding. I bought the vegetable stir fry with jerk mushrooms, seaweed and broccoli. The jerk mushrooms were so delicious and spicy! The mushrooms really made my meal stand out. My friend got the stir fry with salmon and kale. I had a few bites and the salmon was my favorite! It had so much flavor and very moist. The portions are large. I took most of mine home to finish later.We also tried their seamoss drinks. They had an assortment of flavors. I got the strawberry and enjoyed it. I do wish it was cold. Mine was chilled but it was too close to room temperature. I really enjoy this place and the food. It has a nice relaxing scenery full of bright colors and plants. I'm definitely visiting again soon.

A place that makes you feel welcome. Everyone from the time I entered until my departure was very pleasant and professional. The vibe in the dining area is an eclectic mish mosh of Afrocentric neo soul collection. In my head played Marvin Gaye's What's going on, Public Enemy Fight the Power, anything by Nina Simone, bringing it into a smooth groove On & On by Erykah Badu, Far Away Kindred the Family Soul with Jilly from Philly (Queen Jill Scott) simply bringing down the house. Yes that went on internally while I waited in line!My order was simply delicious, man I never knew vegetarian could be so easy. We had the Veggie Sausage Stir Fry with Peppers and Quinoa. Gave some to momma, she smacked herself! Yep that good. There was this delicious slaw with my order. So people make your way to Atiya Ola's Spirit First Foods, leave your ketchup and hot sauce home it ain't needed here Atiya Ola is serving it up like Serena!

Another excellent 2020 pandemic-era discovery for takeout. As a vegetarian, you would think that I'd have made my way to Atiya Ola's a lot sooner in the past year that I've been living in West Philadelphia. Finally made it this past week, and it was a win on all fronts. Their menu offers a wealth of options for the curious vegetarian, from fresh salads and wraps, vegetarian sandwiches like black bean burgers and falafel, and delicious stir fries that you can customize to your preferences. I actually chose the Black Bean Burger in wrap mode, and my partner had a fantastic-looking stir fry with falafel, onions, bell peppers, kale and curry cauliflower. The stir fry was a generous portion and I have to confess I was kind of jealous when I saw it, but I ended up being pretty happy with my wrap - filled with spring mix lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion and chunks of black bean burger. The dressing was some kind of creamy mustard vinaigrette that had a nice kick, and the burger itself was delicious with a nice spicy flavor. It looked to be a bit on the smaller side but proved to be VERY filling.My partner really liked his stir fry, and we agreed we'd definitely go back to Atiya Ola's to try their other options. After placing a phone order thr service was friendly and quick, so a great experience all around.

I've been coming to this restaurant since they were on Baltimore ave, they have great food, the staff is friendly and the restaurant itself is just a nice space to be in. Now my reason for giving three stars instead of five, the past few times I've come my order has been wrong. Today I ordered the 9 item sampler and the items I chose to put in it, well three were missing and something different was added. I honestly feel there is a communication issue between the hostess and the kitchen. The hostess is very nice but she gets overwhelmed very easily, I have witnessed it several times. I have a lot of patience but it's frustrating because I live almost an hour away! I really enjoy the food so maybe I'll do my part and triple check my order next time. Hopefully that helps!

I have been to Spirit a couple times now and everything I have eaten has been absolutely delicious. If this restaurant was closer to my house I would probably get take out from here every week. The staff is friendly, the prices are great, and the food always is fresh and yummy. While I have enjoyed everything I have eaten from here, the real star is the vegan carrot cake. I was not expecting it to be as wonderful as it was because, well, it's vegan haha. But it was out of this world. I had to shovel it in before anyone at my house could realize I had it - I was not about the share that slice of deliciousness with anyone.

Love this place! It's awesome to have a black owned restaurant in the neighborhood that is health conscious. They're veggie & salmons wraps are delicious!

I'm Philadelphia for the New Year and wanted to stop by the new vegan restaurant. Walked in and it was not crowded. Was greeted by the owner who advised to take a seat any where. The restaurant is clean and very bright. Fatima waited on us and her service was outstanding. She was very helpful in assisting with navigating the menu. I ordered the vegan Philly with pepper jack cheese on a wrap $9 with added jerk mushrooms. The mushrooms took it to another level. My friend ordered the black bean which he was not a fan as it was a little burnt. Fatima handled the situation immediately. My beverage was ginger ale cold pressed drink. It was refreshing. The free salsa and chips were delicious while waiting for my food. Fatima also gave samples of the black eye pea soup which was so goodFatima recommended the carrot cake which is delicious. I also got the oatmeal cookie which was gigantic. I will definitely return to this establishment. I'm trying to transition to vegan from vegetarian and I found a restaurant that will make the transition easier.

If being healthy always tasted this good, I would be totally plant based in a heartbeat. Sampler platter was incredibly fresh and tasty, each individual dish had a different flavor, nothing too overwhelming though, but a perfect combination with the dressing, which melded all the veggies together perfectly. Definitely coming back soon, can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu!

Everything! EveryTime! Everyone! Always a beautiful experience of kind people interacting along with beautiful fresh well prepared food to satisfy everyones palate. My family and I are never disappointed. The customer service is always the best and the food is always quality. I can't wait for more and more. I love this place!Mama Atiya Ola's Spirit First Foods Forever!!!!
