Seitan's Realm

Quite possibly the best vegan sandwich and burger place in Columbus. Their signature dish is a vegan roast beef sandwich with cheddar cheese. They also have a pretty damn good burger. Cuban sandwich, chicken sandwich, Reuben. As well as deserts and sodas. Parking in the back. Don't miss this vegan Columbus gem

Trying a local vegan restaurant turned out to be a great 60 minute round trip! Upon the recommendation of a co-worker we brought our niece and her husband to try Seitan's Realm. I am vegan and am always looking for options. Seitan's Realm did not disappoint! Love the decor and the play on Seitan. So much to look at we forgot we were supposed to order!Speaking of ordering, this is a deli, order-at-the-counter-and-take-a-number place, there is no waitstaff but there is plenty of seating inside. They have appetizers, breakfast, sandwiches, sides and dessert too.I ordered the "Anarchy", our niece ordered the Reuben, her husband order the "Italian Stallion", my husband ordered "The Boss" and we all shared some curly fries and potato salad. The food is reasonably priced and the service was very good. We stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner and there were no other guests although several others arrived while we were there.I think the food was very good. My Anarchy bun did come a bit soggy but the seitan was awesome and the flavors delish. I tried the Reuben and it was tremendous, probably one of the best vegan versions I have had (and they are countless!). The potato salad was unique and flavorful with a hint of sweetness that I really liked but also a nice savory dill flavor. The curly fries were mediocre and the only thing I would say was a bit disappointing compared to everything else. We took German Chocolate and Chocolate Cake home to enjoy later and I'm so glad we did! Generous portions and amazing cake too. We will definitely return!

Street parking available. Great new dining room. Spooky decor!All day breakfast, delicious!!!Pancakes, hash browns, tofu eggs, sausage gravy and biscuitsSmashingly delicious!!

The food was great and well worth the price. The staff was kind and humorous. The atmosphere lives up to his name of being whimsical play on old horror movies.

5 stars for you, Seitan's Realm. I'll admit I'm a little snobby when it comes to vegan comfort food. It's easy to make okay, but incredibly hard to make excellent. You're doing it.Upon arriving I was overwhelmed (pleasantly) by the extensive menu featuring multiple appetizers, classic sandwiches, burgers, and chicken offerings. Luckily the very kind, patient person manning the register was able to guide me in the right direction, sharing their favorites in each category.I wanted the Rick Reuben, however they had just run out of corned beeef so opted for the Cheezestake instead, and this was definitely NOT a sloppy second. OMG. This sandwich. HEAVENLY. GLORIOUS. THE OPPOSITE OF HELL (sorry, seitan). The roll is the perfect marriage of softness with a bit of crispy on the edges. The beeef is SO good, especially when combined with the caramelized onions and garlic mushrooms. I have no idea what's in the cheeze sauce and chipotle aioli but I'm pretty sure magic is one of the ingredients. The crisp lettuce was the perfect balance for the strong, savory flavors.Pricing is very reasonable for the quality, portion size, and location. The space is whimsically decorated, consistent with the name, but never fear, the food will fortify you with all the necessary strength to prevail against any nefarious situations that may arise. Although Columbus is quite a drive from home the food is so amazing it's worth considering a road trip just to visit Seitan's Realm.

Seitan's Realm has ended up being a favorite around here! The menu has great variety, with a large selection of sandwiches to pair with a variety of sides. Selections we've enjoyed so far include the Anarchy Burger, which was every bit as messy as it was delicious. The burger used it not as "beefy" as something like an Impossible burger, but had great flavor and texture. The Fried Fysh Sandwich was super delicious; it's been a bummer that we haven't seen it on the menu lately. The Chikun Parm is another tasty choice. The curly fries are crispy and excellent too. Service was good and efficient and ordering online was easy and convenient. We've had success street parking on Oakland Park. They very much lean into the Seitan's Realm play on words with the decor too.

Upon entering this restaurant, I was intrigued by the restaurant being a horror themed vegan deli. After looking at the various horror posters on the walls and listening to catchy music playing in the background, we looked at the menu board. Once we reached the cash register, we looked at the handheld menus inside the restaurant which their menu items and lists allergens such as almonds, soy, and wheat.I decided to order pepperoni rolls served with garlic and marinara dipping sauce, a Daddy's Thicc & Meaty sandwich along with a Cheezestake sandwich and macaroni salad to go.After hubby notified the employee of his nut allergy , she and other restaurant staff were thoughtful in making sure that he would not be exposed to any food containing nuts. For those visiting with nut allergies, their cheeses, cheese sauce and ranch contains nuts (almonds.) Hubby ordered the Rick Reuben sandwich and curly fries but the employee who took our order came out and informed us that the bread used for the Reuben sandwich could possibly contain walnuts. After bring told of possible walnuts in the Reuben bread, he was given the option to order a different sandwich or have the Reuben made but use different bread. Hubby chooses to have the Reuben sandwich made either different bread.Our food arrives quickly and was delicious. The sandwiches were well seasoned. We appreciated the restaurant employee stopping by our table to ask whether or not we enjoyed our food. As we finished our meal, I was happy to have found this unusual vegan restaurant and delighted by the flavorful food and attentive staff.

Im not vegan, but this is one of the best vegan food I've had in Columbus!It's been on my list for a while since it opened but I don't usually go out of my way to eat vegan.I found parallel parking on the side street while my friend found parking a few yards from the front of the building. They have parking at the back, but the back lot looked like you needed a permit to park there.You order at the counter then sit down. Not a ton of tables. They were busy! We found a table, but at one point every table was filled and anyone coming in seemed to do take out. Tons of take out orders here too. Very popular place!I got the Anarchy burger with a side of curly fries while my friend got the buffalo chicken sandwich with a side of curly fries. It's a LOT of food. I found it hard to finish the burger. It had 2 patties in it. Can't wait to try other things! The other sandwiches look good. And for the price, it's reasonable for what you're getting.Great customer service here too! Really friendly staff who were attentive despite how busy they were.

The menu is quite extensive and even when we were asking for guidance we did not get it. It is counter service so I was not expecting the same level as a sit down place, but it seemed like they did not care while we were there. I think if the service has steered us and spoke up it would have been so much better.The food is good, but pretty similar. We went and the person taking our orders failed to mention that we were basically ordering the same thing and did not clarify that we had indeed ordered three sandwiches instead of two even though there were two of us.The mozz sticks were really good and would totally get them in the future. The cheese was melty and it really hit the craving. We got two of the roast beefs since again, we were told they were out of one, but clearly had it. I had the gyro and it was okay, the meat was the same as their roast beef option so really wish the person taking our orders would have given us better guidance when we were asking and steered us to try other things that also sounded good. I also wish they had something other than just fast food type of food.We also got a donut and it was just meh. Overall, the decor was cool. It was haunted theme and they have a cool graphic artist who designed their food into horror movie type of posters on the wall. It was empty on our side of the place, but them putting the chairs up was a little offputting as well. Also, it seemed like things kept getting ordered when we were trying to order and they were out of things.

Although we cannot remember the date of our last visit, we do remember a granddaughter joining us. All of us enjoyed our visit. Our granddaughter's was her initial visit and she has asked for us to take her again, soon,We never leave without taking a slice of chocolate cake home. Sometimes my spouse shares with me, sometimes, I decline because she enjoys it so much. She is lactose intolerant, I am Vegetarian and our granddaughter is Vegan, so the "Realm" is a perfect choice.To add to the "ambience", I would like to find a poster of the movie "Stigmata" to present to the owner.
