This was a fabulous dining experience! Plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. The reason that I knocked off one star is that the dhal I ordered was so insanely salty! But it was very tasty. The atmosphere is awesome. It is a great place to meet up with friends.

Yesterday was my first visit and I so wanted to like this place. We ordered two pizzas for takeaway to be eaten in the car after soccer practice and even though I asked for hand tossed crust I was given the thinnest, toughest crust I’ve ever seen in my life for BOTH pizzas. Something was so off with the dough. We could barely chew it and of course it couldn’t hold many toppings or much sauce so it was basically like paying over $40 for cardboard with the idea of toppings. Hardly any cheese, sauce, even the actual toppings. It looked nothing like the menu pics. Out of 12” I’d say 2” minimum was outer rim too. I’ve had store brand frozen pizza that was better value than this pizza! Three teens and myself but we still didn’t finish it despite being hungry and teens don’t usually forgo any kind of pizza!. We came home and ate leftovers from yesterday instead. Too bad because I had heard good reviews about other menu items and the actual crust I paid for. The chef should really pay attention and there should be quality standards on toppings and gluten in the crust.

Met a friend for lunch here and loved it! The menu is unreal, a wide variety of dishes catering to different dietary preferences. Gluten free, vegetarian, vegan & carnivores too! I had the drunken noodles and my friend had a poke bowl. Both were delicious! Atmosphere is fun - a great place to enjoy a delicious meal. They have a great sushi menu too - will definitely try on my next visit. Highly recommend!
