The food is delicious, excellent quality and gluten-free. Dining out when going gluten and dairy free can be very difficult, but this was great and arrived quickly!

This food is incredible, especially if you are vegan and celiac (a near-impossible combo to find options for in this area!). To top it off, it’s affordable. Thanks for providing delicious, healthy food on a budget. Can’t wait to come back.

I wish I would've taken pictures of my food like I normally do but I was so hungry I completely forgot! Anyways, the food was BOMB. I got the Hella Vegan Burrito and Hella Vegan Sexy Fries. I appreciate how they even had a gluten free tortilla option! That's what really sold me! Both items I ate were so flavorful and it was a good amount of food for the price! I wasn't able to finish my burrito so I took the rest to-go and it was still good the next day!! Inside the restaurant it's not really giving "the food here is delicious" vibes so don't let that fool you. Try it for yourself!

Had been to this location before and I'm not sure what has changes but we will not be back. When I asked what the bread choices were the young lady flicked her hand back and rattled off the 3-4 choices so fast I had to ask again. Once we got that settled we both ordered the pastrami one on rosemary and the other gluten free. We ordered to go. When ready at the guy that made the sandwiches called my name and handed me the two wrapped sandwiches, NO BAG & NO NAPKINS I had to ask for both. I see on a table orders made on line in a nice handled bag ready to go. To add insult to injury the gluten free bread was $2.00 more and tasted like dust, absolutely no flavor and just crumbled into pieces. The meat was ok what there was very tiny portions. For the $13.25 spent on a sandwich I'm expecting a lot more then what was received.

Curry was amazing. I was a little taken back ar first thinking the bowl the curry was small but it was actually more than I could eat. There was shredded ginger in it which wad perfect. Everything about it was so good. Unfortunately it seems to have flour in the curry to thicken so if you have to be gluten-free be cautious. I forgot to tell them so my fault. Not sure if they can do it differently but the menu does have a note about dietary restrictions, so would appear they can accommodate.
