Soul Vegetarian Restaurant

Tried this spot while doing a tour.The food was delicious and fresh. Had the cabbage and yams and it was very tasty, seasoned just right. The yams was really savory and was a natural sweet. My husband added a little rice to his cabbage and a piece of cornbread. The cornbread was baked perfectly, but it wasn't the Louisiana cornbread (sweet) but the piece I snatched was good.The restaurant itself was very clean and inviting. The area where the food was prepared was really clean. The restroom (the men) was exceptionally clean. The women's was out of order.The guy serving the food was energetic with great customer service.

Came here to try the Mac & chz, I recently went mostly plant-based and been on the hunt for a good Mac. The staff is awesome, they allowed me to sample the Mac n chz & kale bone. The kale bone was good and the Mac seemed like a winner. I ordered just the side of Mac. The Mac is good not great, very creamy texture that I grew tired of the more I ate it. It does of the classic seasonings of smoked paprika and garlic powder but I am just a Stan for baked Mac & chz. But I would dine here again to try other items on the menu. Parking- confusing. Still not sure where their designated parking is. I went to CVS prior so I just stayed in their lot while I got my Togo. Also was confused on how to get in the restaurant as the front door was closed. You have yo go inside the building, and I think the entranceway was past the barber shop, someone had to guide me.

The food was great- no issue there. However, while in line, the gentleman serving me "from Brooklyn, who knows 7 languages" talked over my food the entire time. He wasn't even talking to me... he was talking to the man behind me in line. He was so distracted that he almost put the wrong thing on my plate, and then didn't remember if he added cornbread . Just fumbling over my damn plate.It gets worse. After we all sat down at our tables, the young woman working the register privately and quietly reminded the gentleman not to talk over the customer's food. (We did that hear any of that but later found out)HE RAISED HIS VOICE AND SAID: WELL TELL HIM TO TELL ME THAT. He got loud with the young lady, cussed & stormed out of the front door saying NO WOMAN IS GONNA BOSS ME AROUND TELLING ME WHAT TO DO. Other than the employee, I was the only other woman in the building. So I checked on the employee to ask if she was okay.He came back in the front entrance still arguing. Then stormed off to the back after another Black woman came in and eventually calmed him down.BUT his professionalism is trash and the display of misogyny was worse.Won't be back - just for that reason. I don't support ANYONE who disrespects women, especially those they work alongside.

The restaurants gray in the portion sizes are awesome. The only thing I would say is that the food is a bit pricey. The food is served cafeteria style and the hospitality was great. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for vegan soul food you're in the right place.

Came here for dinner on Sunday. They are located in the WestEnd across from the goodwill. There's a parking lot across the street and street parking. The restaurant is pretty nice , you can eat in or take it to go. Everything is Vegan or Vegetarian. I ordered cabbage, yams, and Mac& cheese. Yes the Mac & cheese is vegan and pretty good too. There was a line but it went pretty fast. You pay at the other end of the counter. I got mine to go. I tasted my food in the car and it was so good I ate and drove( something I don't do). It was so good I forgot to take a picture...lol! No worries I'll definitely be back and will post some good ones for you.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Tasty veg soul food with a funky, down-home (cafeteria) ambience.The hubby and I were in the area looking for some veg eats and happened to find this place on the Yelp app. It's definitely a community gem and was quite busy on a Saturday afternoon. You order at the counter, cafeteria-style, with the plastic tray and everything. I got their combo plate with the quiche, collared greens, mac and cheese and corn bread. You don't run into a lot of vegan soul food so it was a nice treat. I thought the corn bread was a bit too dry, though. The decor is nothing to write home about, but the food speaks for itself. I'd definitely try them again.

We ordered two vegetarian plates with macaroni and cheeze, yams, and collard greens, with cornbread.The collard greens are nicely seasoned, and despite other reviews trying to claim that the sweet potatoes/yams are canned, they absolutely are not - they are delicious!The cornbread is a little bland, but I can get over that...What I don't know if I can get over is that the mac & cheeze tastes like it was made with banana? No, really. Maybe they used a vanilla sweetened soy milk instead of plain? But it really does taste like banana. Aesthetically your brain can trick you into thinking that it's savory, but it really just tastes like banana. 5 stars regardless because VEGAN RESTAURANTS ROCK!

So hubby and I went here looking for some local vegetarian foods. We found this location by looking at Google maps (totally a mistake!).Nonetheless...here we are. COVID:Masks are in play at this location, but totally by choice. Two employees wore them, two did not.LOCATION:This is located a pretty busy street. Parking is not clearly noticeable, as the closest parking lot is right next door at CVS. Problem is, it marked for CVS only. So we parked in another lot a little further away for other businesses just to make sure we didn't get booted or the like. ATMOSPHERE:It's an older building. We were advised the business had been there for 40 years. Decor inside it pretty basic. Reggae music playing, but you primarily walk to the back and get the food from a food line setup. SERVICE:Service was really good. From our faces, the man preparing the food could tell it was our first time. He was very kind and had good personality offering us several samples. FOOD:There is only 1 picture because my husband and I ordered the same exact meal to go, and no drink. We did not get a drink, because they only had 2 options (a detox drink and tropical punch drink-both seemed fresh made in house possibly). We ordered the Veggie plate, which includes 3 sides and a piece of cornbread. The cost of the plate was $12.50 per plate. The portions seemed reasonable for the price (this is about the going rate). So the overall flavor....was interesting. The greens and cornbread lacked flavor. You can tell greens were cooked in something, but no pronounced flavor of anything-still ate it. I was able to manage without complaint. The cornbread...tsk tsk tsk. I was excited to try this cornbread, as it was so pretty and yummy looking. But this is the first time I could not get through the actual piece. The texture was there, but ZERO flavor. It was weird.. how do you even do that? Jiffy has more flavor. No sweet or savory.. just nothing. The yams tasted like your basic canned yams. You really can't mess up this type of yams...nature did all the work here. Lastly, Mac n chz. This was really interesting, as the flavor was there...but I think it was vegan. I'm not sure what they used it in, but I couldn't finish it. But the seasonings were present..again weird. So 2 we are 2 went to the trash. I think my husband made it thru his Mac n chz. While we were there, the offered as samples spinach quiche and a veggie lasagna. The quiche was salty, and the veggie lasagna was made with some type of lentils or something that wasn't quite right in the combination of it all. So overall, I was glad to have an opportunity to support a small business that has served the community for years. While we were there, there was a young man that said he eats there every day and plans to eat there every day for the rest of his life. So some locals love it, but as for us..this one is a one and done. So I would give it 3 stars...maybe the next newbie with have a better or more consistent flavor experience. ‍

Convenient west side location; this restaurant was a great option for my vegetarian appetite. I was greeted with a warm welcome upon entry which is always a nice touch (especially for an ATLien. The hot buffet style options were behind a glass & served by kitchen staff. I chose greens, yams and mac-n-cheese. This vegetarian dinner included a small garden salad that was paired with a delicious dressing. Everything was superb! Very filling but bit in a heavy senae. I saved my 2 soft baked cookies for the day after and they were on point as well. I'll be back next time I'm in the A for sure. My only complaint is the restroom could have used some attention. ~Christy

Website says opened at 12...get there on the door it says new hours 1. Noone gets there until 1:10 All food is not even prepared. Had to wait 20 minutes on the gravy. My drive was a 40 minute drive. Another guy left..and drove all the way from Decatur. People, to have a successful business...you've got to do better
