Needing a quick salad since my last entry had meat on it. Saw the restaurant name many times but never stopped in. But they had a sweet or garlicky kale salad and price was right. They gave out free sample, I was hooked . Garlicky kale and the chickpea cold salad was a packed takeout container of both. Especially even I'm about to jump on an 16hr flight, have something to nibble on. Service was easy and helpful, lot of soy ingredients in most of their protein dishes, I avoid. But the salad were great. Something vegan Mediterranean, that wasn't bad and has ability to move into more pea plant based proteins for better nutrition value. But the ambience and space usage is brilliantly orchestrated

1st time visiting !!
Jada C.

Great visit! Great service! Amazing options! I visited w a gggf after my Yelp Community manager (Anna) raved about their Garlic Kale Salad. Let's just say... SHE WAS RIGHT!! This place was absolutely delish !! Easy to locate from Charles Street. Plenty of metered street parking. Entrée, side and dessert options galore!! It took my gf and I at least 25 minutes to select, sample and discuss choices. We decided on Peppersteak, Man N' Cheese, General Tso's Cauliflower, Garlic Kale Salad, Cabbage, and Fresh Ginger Lemonade. Everything was so so yum!! I think the gentleman who assisted us name was ... Dre? I hope that's it. He was so patient, kind, and made great recommendations. My gf and I are certainly looking forward to returning back asap!! I have a list of folks to return here w to capture this great vegan experience!!

Vegan Drummies
A.i. B.

Dodah's offers a flavorful take on vegan cuisine, delivering a variety of plant-based alternatives to classic comfort foods. The seasoning and textures of the vegan ribs and drummies were okay. I have ordered them on two different days over the spring break and I could tell that the drummies weren't cooked fresh. The collard greens had a rich, savory taste especially when you add the hot sauce to them. However, the presentation of the meal could use some refinement. The juices from the collard greens spilled over onto the other items, affecting the balance of flavors, saturating the drummies, and overall appeal of the dish. A little more attention to plating and separation would elevate the dining experience. That said, if you're looking for hearty, soulful vegan eats, Dodah's can still deliver...

Plantain Fries
Kandis A.

This is my second time here, walking in, it's quiet and nice to sit and eat in. The service was very nice although the gentleman who helped me had trouble understanding me - do to a language barrier. I got plantain chips and fried oysters. The food tasted so bland. The plantain tasted like the "oysters" and vice versa. Zero flavor. The oysters came with no dipping sauce.. the best thing was the Colada Moss juice I got. The restaurant is super expensive compared to other vegan places that actually have good food. I spent abt $30. The juice alone was 11! I won't be back. Idk how these reviews are what they are in terms of taste with this place. Save your money. Sorry I threw away the oysters but just picture the darker than the plantains.

Fried chicken , rice and peas, collards

Omg this place is so good. Vegan food done just right! I'll definitely be back to try more

So chill and relaxed

My friends told me about this place, so came here for lunch one day. As soon as you walk in, you enter an amazing vibe. The space is gorgeous with great decor and ambience. All the food is already made, so you don't have to wait for your food. Super fast! You can see all the options available and then place your order. The food was unreal! Everything is vegan, but like the chicken drumsticks and BBQ ribs tastes so realistic. It's actually mind blowing. My only "complaint" is that the day I went, the music was blasting. It was hard to have a conversation with others in the table. I know they're going for an awesome vibe, but it says something when the staff can't even hear me when placing my order. Just needs the volume decreased a little bit.

Lemon cupcake - some icing came off in the packaging
Anna S.

Oh, Miss. Dodah! How I have missed your cooking. I was craving something healthy yet filling for lunch and Dodah's Kitchen did not disappoint. I ordered my normal entree with two sides and chose garlic kale salad, sweet potato fries, and "chicken" drummies for my selections. What I got was a beautiful heaping pile of fresh kale, gorgeously crispy sweet potatoes of an equally generous serving size, and three thick and crispy fried "chicken" drummies. I also ordered the lemon cake which surprisingly came in cupcake form this time around! It was a little awkward to eat because this cupcake was so dang plump, especially with the layer of thick icing on top, but I was still very very happy with it. Vegans, non-vegans, whoever you are and whatever you like - try Dodah's. You will not regret it!

Rice and beans , garlic kale and General Tso's Cauliflower
Melody M.

Visited for lunch today. Service was very pleasant and space beautiful. Only one person in when I visited. Waited about 10 minutes for fresh Gen Tso's Cauliflower and got rice and beans and garlic kale to go with it. Garlic kale is AMAZING. Beans and rice ok. Not really any taste to it. The cauliflower was good and kinda crispy. Could have had more sauce. Everything all together was verrrry good. The portions were large enough for lunch and dinner and then some. I would def revisit but ask for crispier cauliflower with more sauce. The place is set up as a buffet so you can see everything prior to ordering. They had a lot of offerings but it was not clear what anything was except the kale because it wasn't labeled. Menu large and displayed overhead and ginger lemonade was amazing. Def worth a revisit.

Fried shrimp, kale salad, seafood mac and cheese.
Felicia S.

This place is a vegan dream come true! I'm only in town for a couple days and everything looked good, so I was pleased they offer free samples of the prepared foods on the line. I loved the carrot tuna and the Kung pao cauliflower. The pepper steak had a taste and texture that surprised me by how much it's like beef. Ultimately I settled on the fried "shrimp" with two sides: seafood mac and cheese and the garlic kale salad. The shrimp were prepared fresh and were formed into shrimp-looking pieces, down to the little orange/pink band on natural shrimp. The texture was shockingly like shrimp. I got 3 sauces to dip into, all house-made: hot sauce, "honey" mustard (made with agave), and a sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. The seafood mac and cheese had a great flavor of seafood and a creamy, dreamy texture everyone loves in mac and cheese. For my second side I went with the kale salad at the suggestion of one of the employees even though I don't always love kale salad. This was prepared perfectly, with the kale not woody at all. The dressing had the perfect garlic bite to it, and although to my taste the dressing was a little on the oily side, I don't make my dressings with oil at home or in my cookbooks, so that's more of my personal preference. Finally I decided to buy a dessert and bring it back to my hotel to enjoy. As another employee told me, the restaurant started out as a bakery, so dessert was a must, right?! I went with the strawberry cheesecake, again at the suggestion of the staff. And WOW! Delicious! It was the perfect ending to a perfect vegan meal. I only wish I could visit this city more often to eat here again aha again!

Peppersteak w/ Collard Greens & Chickpea Salad + Cassava Coconut Cake
Dana S.

Vegan soul food! Soul food and especially vegetarian soul food is a little hard to find where I'm from so I was really excited to have the chance to try some in Baltimore and I feel like my eyes have been opened to how good this food can be! This is a no-frills operation: counter service and takeout containers only, with a small amount of seating if you want to dine in. The food was more expensive than I was expecting but also higher quality than I was expecting, and they do give you a generous serving. The guy working the front was super nice! I tried the peppersteak over rice with the collard greens and chickpea salad sides. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavourful everything was! The vegan "steak" had a really nice texture, and for me struck the right balance of being tender and having the right flavour for the dish but not so meat-like that you would mistake it for actual steak. The collard greens were simple but prepared well. I loved the hot peppers in the chickpea salad - the slight kick set it apart from other versions of chickpea salad I've tried. Even the rice and beans that accompanied the entree were really tasty. The fact that the food is ready-made doesn't take away from the quality since a lot of it is stuff that benefits from being allowed to sit to let flavour develop, and as a bonus this means service is very fast! They also have a wide selection of cakes, cupcakes, and (vegan) cheesecakes for dessert. I had a piece of cassava coconut cake. The texture of the cake was really nice with lots of big coconut shreds and I liked that it was flavourful but not super sweet. All in all this was a very good introduction to soul food!

I'm happy I got a chance to try the food at Oleum. These pics are from two visits. Upon my first…read morevisit, I ordered the kale ceasar salad and a butternut squash soup. 2nd visit was the breakfast burrito. Both times, the service was impeccable at the bar, and while being formally seated. As I'm not a vegan, I do frequent vegan places in hopes of finally transitioning, so I understand flavor profiles and what to expect/not expect. The salad dressing was a bit skimpy and the croutons were extremely hard. I asked for some honey to add to the sauciness of the dressing, which in hindsight, I should have just asked for more dressing. I've had vegan ceasar salad dressing before that somehow mimicked that anchovie-taste, which is what I expected here. For the soup, I had my mouth ready for a sweet savory taste, but instead it was salty savory which altogether changed my viewpoint on how this soup can be made. I asked for chili oil to give it a little pop. Onto the breakfast burrito - a sight to see! I'm not a breakfast burrito girl, but a friend let me taste her leftovers and I thought I HAD to have my own. At first bite, I can say it was a whole YES. My only ask was more seasoning, and to have cooked the tofu down just a bit more so it didn't give the consistency of a runny egg. I asked for sriracha, chili oil and ketchup to seal the deal. I highly suggest offering at least one of these sauces/oil as a free accoutrement, instead of charging per oz. Ambiance is always warm and inviting. The dark wood gives a homelike vibe and the music is on point. I will definitely be back for the breakfast burrito in hopes of more fun sauces on the side!

My Mamas Vegan is an excellent Black Owned/Woman Owned/vegan restaurant located in Baltimore…read more I pre-ordered the Super Bowl Slider Platter from My Mamas Vegan. Pre order was easy, I did it all via my phone a couple of weeks in advance. Pickup was also super easy, I found parking right on the street, went in, and had my food all in my hands in less than ten minutes. The slider tray consisted of 10 Sliders. There were two each of Meatball Parm, French Onion Melt, Cheeseburger Cheesesteak, BBQ Jackfruit and Oyster Chick'n. All of them were well done, held up in transit and tasted good as leftovers. That being said, the BBQ Jackfruit were my favorite. If you ever have the chance to get your hands on her BBQ Jackfruit, definitely do it! The sliders came with three sides: a container of Bourbon Baked Beans, Traditional Mac Salad and Chips and Chili Queso These were also well done. Price wise, My Mamas Vegan seemed comparable to other vegan places in the area. I think the slider tray cost about 40 dollars and I, eating everything myself, had leftovers for days. The menu is constantly rotating. Follow their Instagram page where they list their weekly menu as well as specials and pop ups that are running or will be coming up.

I ordered the crab egg rolls. I've never had vegan crab. The egg rolls were shockingly delicious…read more The sauce and the texture of the vegan crab were perfect. Portion was large. Wish I could have purchased half the size and added another food item because I wanted to try more, but you know how those vegan prices are... Street parking is available. The cashier was nice, helpful and patient. I asked alot of questions. I will definitely return to try other items. It was great to see vegan dessert is offered and meal prep grab n go items were available too. This is a carryout place, not a sit down and eat restaurant. Inside is small and basic

I decided to stop in R House to get some food. I wanted something that was more on the fresh side…read moreso I decided to go with Koshary Corner. I can't speak on the customer service because I didn't talk to anyone. I ordered at the kiosk and they called my number and that was it. I paid $19.45 for my meal. I order a side of falafels (3) and the street bowl with beef flank, tzatziki, and mild red pepper sauce. The falafels were way too crispy. I feel like compared to other falafels I've tried these were on the hard side. Thankfully I had some tzatziki sauce to dip them in, if I didn't, they would have been a little hard to eat. The flavor was okay but the texture was not appealing. I really wanted to get beef shawarma but they were out so I opted for the beef flank. I wish I would have just gotten chicken instead. The bowl came with rice and a lettuce salad that was underneath the beef. I'm not sure if the lettuce had arugula in it as well, but the lettuce gave sort of a bitter taste which I did not care for at all. Did not taste good so I would add a lot of tzatziki sauce to it to cut down on the bitter taste. The beef was okay, nothing to rave about. I was just very underwhelmed with my food. Not sure if I would give it a try again. If so, I would definitely get something else or build my own bowl maybe. Try it for yourself and see how you like it.

I've been following them on Instagram for a while and drooling over their posts LOL. I finally was in the area and came by. First of all, I had a hard time choosing my meal. I wanted to try everything LOL. I decided on the Mac black bean burger with a side of fries($20). I see why their Mac is award-winning. I forgot it was vegan for a second! So delicious and creamy. The black bean burger was seasoned VERY well and cooked perfectly. Most black bean burgers get messy and fall apart, this one didn't. Fries were great as well, perfect amount of salt. -Customer service was amazing.

It's never too busy when I go, so the wait is never any longer than 15 minutes. I recommend the Mac n Cheese burger, the drummies, and the cauliflower bites. My favorite thing is ordering buffalo chicken drummies and adding them to the mac n cheese to make buffalo mac! They should add it as a menu item cause it's bomb. I wouldn't recommend the desserts, a little too hard and too sweet for my liking. This is definitely one of my favorite vegan spots in MD !

Golden West Cafe…read more First visit to Hampden and Golden West Cafe -- and it definitely lived up to the hype. Drinks: Baltimore Vice -- strawberry-forward with a Don Q rum float, coconut foam, and freeze-dried strawberries. Light, refreshing, and very easy to drink. Piñata Riot -- a tequila twist on a jungle bird. Slightly bitter, tropical, and well-balanced. Both cocktails were solid and worth ordering again. Food: Green Chili Burger -- while it didn't quite hit true Albuquerque green chile standards, it was still flavorful and satisfying. A strong menu option. Zucchini Brie Pancake -- the standout dish. Unexpectedly balanced between sweet and savory, rich without being too heavy, and something I'd absolutely reorder. Overall: Great first impression. The menu has a lot of variety, the cocktails are creative and well-executed, and it feels like one of those places you could keep coming back to and try something new every time. Would I go back? Absolutely.

Golden West Cafe in Baltimore delivers a unique, laid-back vibe with a diverse menu that easily…read moresatisfies both breakfast and lunch cravings. We sampled a variety of dishes, including the Caesar salad, Hangover Burger, bacon egg and cheese biscuit, Elvis pancakes, and a quesadilla--and overall, the experience was a solid 4/5. The Caesar salad stood out with its fresh ingredients and what tasted like homemade croutons. The Hangover Burger was cooked perfectly to order and packed with flavor, though the garlic fries it comes with are very garlicky--something to keep in mind if you prefer a milder side (you may want to request plain fries). The bacon egg and cheese biscuit was simple but delicious, while the Elvis pancakes--topped with bacon and peanut butter--were a standout and a must-try if you're feeling indulgent. The quesadilla was also very good, paired with an impressively flavorful broth that elevated the dish. To top it off, the iced coffee was bold and strong, but still smooth and refreshing. One thing to note: street parking is limited in the area, so plan accordingly when visiting. Overall, Golden Key West offers great food, solid portions, and a cool atmosphere that's definitely worth checking out.
