Healthfull Essence

The 89 "Health Score" didn't include any violations of the "Standard not met: Insects, rodents, and animals not present" variety, so though I wasn't super stoked about the "89", I could suffer the other violations.The customer service was a little muted, but attentive and efficient (You may be best served with a little confidence and assertiveness in your ordering actions). The food BANGS, is good for you and plentiful...As long as your palette is Vegan-friendly/open you really can't go wrong with your selection.You might drive past it or think it's not open if you lack a bit of awareness, but it's there and their stationary food truck in the ample parking lot is a good marker, just in case there are initial questions about the non-descript location.You could do worse with your hard earned money - BIG UP Healthfull Essence!!!

Have the opportunity to actually get lunch today and knew that I wanted some healing food. So I took the drive and ran over to Healthfull Essence. As usual, it did not disappoint! They even had something new to try, Vegetable Gunbo! It was alll good! I got enough for 2 days! #eattolive

Walking in just 20 minutes before closing, and was treated like I was the first customer of the day As a first time customer, they gave me a "tour" and explained everything in the steam table. Many non soy options, all authentic flavors. The smell alone was promising! I was also offered a sample of anything I wanted to try. I setlled for the curry veggie protein, channa (curry chick peas) and rice. I also took Irish Moss. I was so happy to find Irish Moss made with non dairy milk, I tried a flavor - Peanut.Everything was delicious and a good amount of food was served in a medium meal. I would recommend for authentic caribbean seasoning in their food (not just jerk everything) and plethora of vegan options.

Do not come here for the customer service. I say again, DO NOT come here for the customer service. Now that we've got that out of the way...Yes, I eat vegetarian foods too!! This has been a staple in Atlanta's West End for a long time. I always grab a the three (3) item plate and a sorrel to drink. They also make smoothies. Oh yeah, don't forget to bring your empty gallon jug so you can re-up on your alkaline water.

My favorite vegan West Indian restaurant is over 40 minutes away and I was craving some good food. Healthful Essence has been on my list for a long time and until recently I didn't realize how close it was to me less than 15 minutes so I decided to stop in.Located off of York St in SW Atlanta in a very busy area known as the Vegan Mecca. There are so many vegan friendly places in walking distance or a few minutes drive.Everything looked delicious and I didn't know what to order. After some careful deliberation I ordered curried ungoat, Mac un-cheese, collard greens, and navy beans. I also ordered a callaloo and in-chicken patty.Everything was delicious and I will definitely be back especially since it's so close to home.

Simple yet flavorful home cooking. Many options, hefty servings and very filling meals. Drinks are awesome as well, try the green lemonade. We didn't get sea moss but they it's available. Also they fill up your gallons with 9.5 alkaline water for $4. Can't go wrong with anything here. Super cozy and friendly environment. I can feel the love when I walk into this place.

I love this place! I had the Jerk UnDuck and got some veggies on the side. I also got a patty and the sweet potato cornbread. It's good stuff! I did not like the cornbread, but my plate and patty were extremely flavorful. That patty was a 10/10. Amazing. I will be coming back in the future!

Long time fan/customer since 2009! Great vegan food! It's like ordering from your aunt or uncle so don't come with thin skin. They will answer all your questions but don't hold up the line lol. I love it here, I always show the wall of fame (iykyk) to my first timers. Mac on Friday and Sat, with the greens?! ‍...curry veg ungoat unfish cakes lentil soup, the juices. Just go..

The curry un-goat was delicious! It was seasoned to perfection. I would definitely eat there again. Highly recommend!

Ordered BBQ tofu, greens, Mac n cheese and spicy eggplant. I don't really like tofu (they talked me into it) but it was really good. I would get it again. Greens could have used some more seasoning. Mac was great but the winner was the eggplant! If you like spicy you will love it. It's perfect to mix with the greens. Also had a kale patty and it was good too. This was my first visit and I will definitely be a regular moving forward.
