"Food is absolutely delicious! Plenty of hot sauces to choose from too. My favorite was taco al pastor."

Oleum

★★★★★ 4.9 (37)

"EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! I have had some good vegan food and lots of it every where I travel. And Oleum is in my top 3! It was so good that I went back the next day and ordered the exact same thing for takeout lol!I'm bummed I didn't get pics of everything. But everything I ate was delicious! I had the cookie butter latte! Delish! So smooth and not too sweet.Fried Eggplant - divine! The sauce-yummy!Wedge salad - I loved wedge salads before I becameMostly vegan. And I make my own b/c I've never had one at a vegan restaurant. So when I saw this I almost screamed lol! Definitely made me think it was real bacon and blue cheese! So good!The Toum Raider pizza was absolutely perfect! Like Perfect! The garlic sauce makes this pizza. And the Giant Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie just sealed the deal. So I have to shout out BEAN!!! She was our absolutely, amazing, and fantastic waitress! She knew the menu so well. And recommended all of this goodness. And truly the reason I returned. Oleum is truly a gem in Inner Harbor Baltimore. I wish it was closer to home for me. But a 2 hour drive so I'll be back."

"Okay so here it is bullet point style:- service: FANTASTIC!!!!!! Super kind and knowledgable. - food: we ordered pretty basic. things and they took FOREVER. It was pretty good though. However, it was weird that there was no salt and pepper on the table. I could have used some, but we just ate. - My coffee came out cold AF. My friend's was warm but mine was cold. We were cutting it close to our next appointment so we just made it work.This was my second time going there and the second time being like mehhhhh....However, I really love the decor and the plants."

Zion Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"This place deserves an update from me. I've never been to the restaurant and I was harsh in my initial review. No, it is not owned nor operated by W Africans but given the W African restaurants are readily available in this area (nor are they good), I order from here. Often. Very often. It's worth it. It is. No lie. I always order a few stews, the jollof, the pounded yam, the ginger drink and a couple different proteins and eat off of it for the week. It's delish. It really is, although it's not perfect. I do have a few issues... the containers for the stews aren't always filled, sometimes, the jollof is sometimes dry (it would be so nice to offer a lil condiment container of red pepper stew w/ the jollof), sometimes the efo riro is too spicy and not made w/ enough crawfish. I've ordered maybe 30x since this review (maybe more). I'm not a hater, I promise. I just prefer authentic cuisines that are made by those of that culture. Given no options, this is close enough."

Pure Raw Juice - Canton

★★★★☆ 3.9 (32)

"This little Snack shop is right next door to sprouts grocery store. I stopped in to look inside, it was super clean and inviting I immediately had to try the *new* blue dream bowl. The service was really nice & had my bowl ready super quick! The Blue Dream is frozen bananas, pineapple, blue spirilla blended and topped with granola (really good and crunchy) fresh kiwi, strawberries, pineapple and shredded coconut.The smallest size I could order seemed like way too much but I almost finished it, it was really good. Not very overwhelming in any flavor but I noticed the banana and the pineapple as well as the granola texture. I don't frequent Açaí bowl or smoothie places so this was a bit out of my wheelhouse. I would return here and try something new or even get the blue dream again."

Pure Raw Juice - Federal Hill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (224) • $$

"One of my Facebook friends posted a pic of his Acai bowl from Pure Raw Juice this morning. I promptly got in my car and drove there & got the same exact bowl he did! Hawaiian Acai bowl, coconut, mango, kiwi and added bananas. It was so delicious! My best friend lives in the neighborhood and am there often. Parking can be an issue. But there are sides streets and you may have to walk a block or two. The Power bowls, Acai bowls, drinks are so worth it! The employees are so friendly and are always in a good mood! Go, just go!"

Busboys and Poets - Columbia

★★★★☆ 3.8 (602) • $$

"A charming spot for book lovers and a cozy hangout! The service was lovely, and while the food leans a bit pricey, it's worth it. The sweet potato pancake? Absolutely amazing!! Bonus: you can shop for books while you're there!"

Indian Express

★★★★☆ 3.7 (273) • $$

"Delicious - even delivered (not eaten on premises) everything was delicious and fresh and perfect temperature. Very well packed.Highly recommend!"

Busboys and Poets - Takoma

★★★★☆ 4 (755) • $$

"I have always had a great experience here! Though there are many tasty looking options, my order has always been pretty consistent lol. As a girl raised in the South, I have been satisfied with their grits for the most part. Yes, there are times when I add more butter, salt and pepper. Grits is the most important item to me, because I mix it with my scrambled eggs and have it with toast. I did try the crab grits once and it tasted just like what it sounds like, something like a crabcake. The best thing about this place is the atmosphere. They sell a lot of books and has a Cafe type vibe, which is great for business brunches in a casual and non distraction setting. The staff rounds it out by always being polite and efficient."

Key Neapolitan

★★★★★ 4.7 (19)

"Best Neapolitan style pizza! Truffle pig is my fav with bacon and truffle sauce! Service is quick and friendly! Can tell they're a hard working crew that are passionate about their business! The truck is in a prime spot with outdoor seating which is enjoyable when the weather is nice!"

&pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (37) • $$

"I thought it was good!Pizza is super thin, then they blast it in the oven, that's how they can bang out your order really fast. Ordered the Margherita and a custom to go. I thought it would be kinda meh like pie five, but it's wayyy tastier. Flavors are there and they got a lot of options. Packaging and the communication is pretty zoomer. Pizza box looks like you just bought a new keyboard. Only gripe is the amount of crust due to the pizza shape. I'm not a crust(y) guy lmao but yeah there's a lot of it. I should have ordered a side of sauce to dip. Spicy tomato sauce has a little kick. Goat cheese and the other ingredients were really fresh. The two I ordered were not greasy which is a plus. Been about 20 minutes since I ate an entire pie, and I don't feel gross, which is what I usually get after eating papa johns or dominos. So I'm happy bout that. It's also really clean here which is a plus but might just be cause it's new. Hope they keep it that way. The cherry cola drink isn't good, but soda is bad for you anyways. Will have to try the other flavors. Better pizza than all the other options around here. Will be back for more."

&pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (64) • $$

"1 star added for the good pizza, but other than that--just the most dysfunctional staffing and overall experience that you could ask for. Orders never seem to come out by the scheduled time (my mobile pickup order today was 25 minutes late), and the staff always seem upset at either each other or a customer. On the upside, the pizza is pretty good, but the experience hardly makes it worth it."

Diasporan Soul

★★★★★ 4.7 (14)

"Today was the first time here but the food was fantastic. I had the curry chicken which was bursting with flavor and moist. The rice and peas were perfect. The cabbage was probably my favorite anywhere. My wife had the vegan wings which were very good ( I've never had vegan wings before) I'm uncertain what they were made of but they were so close to chicken I couldn't really tell. The plantains were fresh and were perfectly cooked. Also ate a chicken patty which was simply amazing. I certainly would recommend this to anyone looking for good carribean food. Hats off to Chef Kay!"

"I made my own specialty pizza. The staff was nice. The staff member strategically placed each item on the dough to be sure it was even. The pizza was cooked well enough. Sometimes some location don't have the temperature for the oven set right but they sure did! I had tomato and basil sauce, pepperoni, pineapple, grilled onions, spinach, mozzarella cheese, bacon, and then end the end added pesto, hot honey and pickled onions. It was so yummy!"

Refocused Vegan

★★★★☆ 4.2 (153) • $$

"I'm not a vegan but I heard this place was good and I don't mind trying vegan food. I got the beyond burger it was decent, I wasn't a fan of the cheese. The fries were delicious, I tried the mac and cheese and for me I wasn't a fan of the "cheese" but I know it is hard to find a good vegan cheese but it was seasoned pretty good so it kind of made up for the cheese. The service was good, they were friendly. They have a lot of vegan options."

Basmati Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (373) • $$

"When my kids were younger, weed, frequent basmati restaurant often. One big reason was because I have three sons, and they will eat me out of house and home so having the benefit of going to an all you can eat buffet was a blessing. On this day, we just decided on a whim to head up. Unfortunately, we missed the buffet, but we ordered some of our classic favorites, we started with the two piece, veggie vegetable samosas and decided to try the Mulligawtny soup. Both were delicious. The soup was ground lentils, with a nice spice level. Not over the top but just enough to make you know it was in there. The samosas were served with three different sauces. all of which were delicious. One was sweet, one not so sweet and one that had a nice kick to it. I couldn't decide which one I liked the best so I put all three of them on. The Samosas were just like I remembered crispy on the outside with smashed vegetables, potatoes, peas, carrots, with a curry sort of flavored undertone that was just delicious! I actually think a serving size of three would be better but I might just be greedyThe tandoori chicken, sizzling and generously portioned came out with peppers and onions. It wasn't spicy or is it supposed to be, but very well seasoned, along with a large bowl of basmati rice. It was good to return to Basmati. Next time we won't late so far in between visits!"

Slutty Vegan

★★★★☆ 4.1 (26)

"HEY SLUT! So glad Baltimore finally has its own Slutty Vegan. I no longer have to wait until I go to Atlanta to get a dancehall burger. You do NOT have to be vegan to enjoy their food. Everything tastes like the real deal. Parking is decent, parallel street parking, garage, and lot. Food is ALWAYS on point. Friendly staff. Ample seating. Bar vegan opening January 7, 2025 (right next door)."

Liquid Earth

★★★★☆ 4 (391) • $$

"I was in Baltimore for a conference and was so thrilled to discover Liquid Earth! It can be difficult to find good vegan food when traveling, but I had a fantastic meal here. The BBQ pulled tofu sandwich was amazing and tasted just like the real thing (or at least what I remember it tasting like!). They also had fresh guacamole that was amaaaaaazing.It's a small, unpretentious but clean and cozy space. The server was very attentive and we loved the Liquid Earth t-shirt about chopping the plants so you didn't have to hear them scream. Hilarious!!I also tried some sort of beet and ginger juice that I would normally not have tried, but it was amazing! Very fresh and delicious. Definitely check them out if you're in the area."

Molina Pizze & Polpette

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (62) • $$

"Woah! First, I went to say thank you to Bri for her exceptional customer service. I got to the counter and she made me aware of a wait - which was truly appreciated. The pizza here is so fresh and tasty! The cheese pull was giving and it certainly wasn't drenched in oil. Can't wait to go back! Yay!"

World Peace Cafe Baltimore

★★★★★ 4.6 (8) • $

"Great place to go for Sunday Brunch. Weekday Meditation nights, soup and serenity are wonderful as well. Healthy and delicious food served here. It is a small cafe and runs only certain hours but the food never disappoints!"

Manow Thai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (90) • $$

"The food here is wonderful. A lot of Thai restaurants in the area add lots of extra sugar and tone down the Thai spices, but the food here has a great balance of Thai flavors. Also, if you request spicy, they actually make it very spicy, which we really love (if you aren't accustomed to eating hot peppers, definitely do not order your food spicy here). The chicken and beef dishes have been great, freshly cooked, well-trimmed pieces of meat, and vegetables have never been overcooked or soggy. Some of our favorites: papaya salad, summer rolls, pad ginger, green curry, pad prik khing, and Thai basil fried rice. They can make most of the entrees gluten free, have many vegan dishes, and they offer brown rice as an option."

Koshary Corner

★★★★★ 4.7 (130) • $$

"My first review of 2025! I was here on Sunday, July 21, 2024 with my girlfriend. We had a couple of events going on in Baltimore City on that hot Sunday in July. A few years ago, my friend who used to live in Baltimore recommended the R House food hall. R House has a wide variety of different cuisines. I feel like I might've gotten tacos in the late 2010's but honestly don't remember, I just remembered this food hall as a viable option. There's limited parking but better than no parking and remembered I parked on the street, but in 2024 I was lucky to get a spot at lunchtime.I told my girlfriend we should eat at R House since it was on the way to where we were going and was a cool place. We both settled on Koshary Corner as a Mediterranean bowl sounded good that day where you build in what you want such as the generous portions of chick peas, meat, etc. It was great, maybe not the very best I've had but it was up there. The price was slightly more expensive than comparable bowls, but it was above average. I didn't love the ordering on the screen only as I had a couple of questions, but I figured it out ok with the screen. Also, the issue I have with businesses that do this is that you can't use cash, which I don't like; even though I was going to pay with credit, it's the principle of it. There was a bit of confusion on how the order was happening, but took maybe slightly longer than it should've for but got a text although my phone was on silent so I was a minute late. We sat in the middle area of R House. There's a water station in the bar area with courtesy cups which makes things easier as I generally drink water with meals. Overall, in spite of a few negatives, I'd come back to Koshary if I'm back at R House."

India Garden

★★★★☆ 4.4 (150) • $$

"TLDR: Amazing lunch buffet for the unbeatable price of $15 on weekends (cheaper during weekdays). Come for the fresh poori and goat curry. Vibe: 4/5. Tucked away in a shopping center, India Garden is a cozy restaurant. The dining room is comprised of a dozen or so 2 tops with some pushed together as 4 tops. On the occasions we dined, there were groups of 6 or more, so they are more then happy to accommodate larger groups. The buffet is located in the back of restaurant with all food served in closed chaffing dishes. The restaurant also has a bar area which looks to have a small selection of wine. Service: 5/5. Attentive and welcoming! Both times we visited, we were warmly greeted at door and seated immediately. Water cups and dirty plates were tended to quickly throughout the entire meal. Bonus points for what appeared to be the owner welcoming several customers by their first names as they stopped by for lunch. Always a good sign when restaurants have regulars. Food: 5/5. The last time I dined at an Indian food buffet was before the pandemic, so I had high hopes for my lunch experience. Indian Garden did not disappoint! From the freshness and quality of the food to the vast selection of both vegetarian and non vegetarian choices, the spread is fantastic. When we visited, there were 8 main courses, fried appetizers such as samosas and poori, side items such as birani and buttered naan, a soup and 2 desserts. Main course highlights included the goat curry, saag paneer and the tandoori chicken. However, best in show of the entire meal is the hot and fresh poori. These little warm dough puffs will have you noshing on them throughout the entire meal!"

Passage To India

★★★★☆ 3.8 (254) • $$

"Good service, nice decor, but pretty basic and unimpressive food. We opted for the lunch special- the naan was probably the highlight of the meal. The rice had peas in it, which was a first. I also expected something closer to basmati... this rice reminded me of something I could make at home, not something you get at a restaurant. Service is friendly enough albeit not overly attentive. I loved the decor though, especially the beautiful doors. Overall- would not recommend and not planning on coming back any time soon. Garage parking across the street is very convenient."

Applecore's Bake Shoppe

★★★★★ 4.9 (20)

"Whew!! Applecore's Bake Shoppe absolutely threw me through a 'decadent dessert' loop!!! I typically treat my personal friends and hard working colleagues to sweet treats, especially at work, where we are all running around busy during our long shifts. And unfortunately, some people miss out on the goodies because they have a gluten allergy or other dietary restrictions, so when I stumbled upon Applecore and their eclectic dietary dessert offerings, I was excited to try them out.This shoppe is also black owned, and the founding baker is a phenomenal woman! So y'all know I was eager to support.But little did I know that Applecore would hit me with a serious "GOTCHA" moment after my first bite of their bestselling sweet potato cheesecake. This was literally theee BEST cheesecake I have ever had!!! The flavor of the sweet potato was so on point, and had a wonderful balance and warm spice profile, without being overly sweet or too rich. And The graham cracker crust was also 100%. So I had purchased some more of these sweet potato cheesecakes-exactly 3 days later (hahahaha), to give out to a few extraordinary coworkers for the holidays, and every single one of them raved that it was sooo delicious..one coworker claimed he was licking the packaging to get every last drop :)I also tried their 'award winning' vegan apple bread pudding and their vegan lemon raspberry cake..and both were absolutely delectable. Both were very flavorful and moist...round of applause!!Btw, I also surprised one of my favorite nurses with a gluten free bundlette box, which came with four mini gluten free bundt cakes that were a variety of cake flavors with drizzles and decorative holiday toppings. And He loved every bite and claimed the cakes were fantastic!!So yelp peeps-don't sleep on this bakery....Also, shout out to the "Applecore" family, who packaged every single item so neatly and beautifully..thank you! And for making my pick up experiences very seamless and efficient.Overall, I highly recommend!"

&pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (48)

"There for grand opening day, and it was a fantastic experience! Glad to see a build-your-own pizza place near me!! Definitely a great option for pizza when you don't want to do fast food pizza but also don't want to quite get gourmet pizza (tbh a happy medium for me -- the customizable pizza tasted wonderful to me!).- quick and super friendly service (the pizza oven they use is also pretty speedy!)- trendy and modern atmosphere - original sodas and drinks (I got the blood orange jasmine!)- nice location in shopping plaza with parking - social distancing markers on the ground Appreciated the "get out the vote" messaging on the pizza boxes too! My only slight note is that it was very loud in there, so it was very hard to tell the servers what I wanted on my pizza. They turned off the music but it's the combination of masks and an echoey building perhaps that contributes to the loudness."

Cajou Creamery

★★★★★ 4.9 (56) • $$

"Stumbled upon this place going to another business and it being plant-based caught our eyes! It's a small shop, but very welcoming and well decorated. The owner was welcoming and had a very calming presence. We tasted a few options but ultimately went with the blueberry cheesecake and pistachio guava. Next time I might just have to go for a flight of 6 flavors!"

Cinnaholic

★★★★★ 4.9 (14)

"When I tell you I LOVEEEEE this place! I'm not someone who eats a lot of sweets, but when I do, this is the right place to go! Cinnaholic is definitely a great place if ever have a sweet tooth and you will enjoy. I came in with a warm ambiance and greeting from the friendly staff, who helped me to walkthrough the specials they had for the day (as seen in the picture). I was definitely craving something chocolate-y and I got the Hopkins speciality which had oreo and brownie bite toppings on it. When I tell it was so good... it was SO GOOD!! The employee was super sweet and made my order very quickly as there wasn't any long wait- didn't take more than 5 minutes overall of me coming in, placing my order, and leaving. The music was nice and groovy, area was clean and neat, and it was truly a warm environment to be in. Will surely be back and I highly recommend. Will definitely bring my family to experience the heavenly sweets they have to offer!"

"I have driven Pat this place many times but never stopped in. This place was really great. The service was amazing. The food was very flavorful. The place is comfortable. I would definitely be going back."

Pure Raw Juice - Towson

★★★★☆ 4 (137) • $$

"I often find myself drooling over Pure Raw's bowl photos on Instagram, as I make my own yogurt bowls at home, with less fancy ingredients haha. I was delighted to finally have the opportunity to try their unique flavor combos, with some ingredients I've never heard of-like Pitaya, and some ingredients I never have in stock-like hemp seeds & matcha powder.We opted to split a Health Nut & a Matcha Mango- both were stacked with toppings, just the perfect amount to blend throughout the base- each had a really bold, yet delicately balanced flavor profile. Very delicious ingredients-fresh fruit-well tasting powders-and crunchy nicely seasoned granolaThe bowls are a nice large size, though at $10 each, I won't become a regular- I would love to go back to try some of the other flavors."

Sprout Vegan 2.0

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"I tried a smoothie from here for the first time, and it did not disappoint. They use real fruit and fruit juice and no added sugars. I love that there is a new vegan place in this part of town! Can't wait to be back and try the vegan burgers, sandwiches and other entrees!"

Cisu Vegan House

★★★★★ 4.9 (43) • $$

"We ordered the green beans and mapo tofu and both were so delicious. Their service was great - such friendly staff. Really happy to have this restaurant so close by."

Rich Juice Bar

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Rich Juice Bar never fails to amaze me. From their fresh ingredients they use to amazing customer service, I love coming here. It definitely is a plus because it's youth based, so you're supporting the community with every purchase and seeing this generation working with a positive attitude is great too. Nae, the manager is doing an amazing job there. Recently, I came in and purchased an açaí bowl and strawberry banana smoothie w/ dates. 10/10 everytime and the ambiance is nice and CLEAN!! Very dope spot, go try yall!"

"I enjoyed my pizza. Very good pizza! Went during lunch hours a bit busy. Great costumer service! I don't care for the drink options they have but it is fast food! The ambiance was chill, nice, quiet. Parking cost $2 for 2 hours."

VegBox

★★★★☆ 4.4 (13)

"All I can say is wow! This was my first time ordering from this location. I have been following the Chef for years now. We met back around 2 or more years ago. I was introduced to her food by a coworker who had purchased some of her meals.She was actually doing meal plans back then. I tasted her food and fell in love. She definitely gave it flavor. I have never been a full pledge vegan but I do have my days when I want to eat healthy and add more veggies into my life. That's when Roberta fits in perfectly. She is 100 percent vegan. This is a Black owned business. Her food is all organic. So we decided to go with her for our Valentine's day dinner. I'm so glad we did. The food was excellent! First time trying her (lambless) lamb chops. Omg it was delicious! The (crabless) crabcake was even good. Now I'm a seafood lover. So it was pretty hard to pull that off. We enjoyed it all. Especially the cheese & Fruit platter. She definitely did not disappoint us.I definitely can see us returning to check out her other menu options. masks are required. Keep in mind this is a carryout establishment. It is located in a house. Signs are located on the side to enter the house from the side and go around the back to pick up your delivery. They also provide free delivery within 15 miles. Also other delivery options available. Parking is located in the driveway and street side. I will definitely be checking out her other vegan options for the future."
