I visited this establishment for an event with an interest in supporting its stated mission of…read morecommunity healing, activism against racism white supremacy, and plant-based nutrition. However, my experience revealed a significant disparity between the stated purpose and the actual atmosphere created by the owner. The irony: The event was a documentary, discussion, and supporting the vendors who came. During the discussion portion after the documentary, comments and thoughts were welcomed, so I shared my thoughts specifically highlighting resources on collective healing and rest in relation to generational and historic racial injustice/oppression (resources such as the Nap Ministry). The vendors and attendees were kind and friendly, and a few were curious about the grassroots healing organization I mentioned. What I noticed was, while the owner was notably attentive and warm toward his white patrons and others, his demeanor toward me, the only Indian woman there, was inexplicably hostile and impatient. It left me confused. In his direct comments to me, he indicated a disdain he had for "Indian people" with the generalization that "Indians are the most successful in this racist system and are therefore part of the problem." I was painted with a stereotype that has nothing to do with me. It was disappointing to see a space dedicated to 'liberation' revert to such narrow, localized profiling of a supporter like myself, especially considering that my intention for being there was the exact opposite. This attitude of blindly disparaging Indians is the same anti-blackness he claims to oppose. It is ironic that in a space claiming to fight racism white supremacy, the owner reserves his most aggressive scapegoating for a dark skinned woman of color who was there to offer genuine support (an easy target for misplaced hostility), all while changing his demeanor for the white guests. It contradicts the grassroots racial struggle he claims to represent and left a bad taste in my mouth. The food was overpriced but watered down, cold, and lacked flavor. The whole atmosphere was cold, low vibrational, grievance and money driven, and lacked the vitality and integrity one would expect at this price point. Quality is a result of Presence. Because the owner's heart was closed and his mind was set on getting money for low quality food and finding a scapegoat, the food had no life-force. I have withdrawn my support from this place.

They sell wings, salads, and sandwiches. Popping in for lunch with a friend, I ordered the Parkers Fried Chicken sandwich, which is a chicken breast drizzled with mumbo sauce. It was big and tasty!

This place was in a weird shopping strip. I found the sign but barely could figure out how to get…read moreinto the restaurant. I just took a chance and pulled on this random door that said open. That door led me into Secrets of Nature. I was so confused where the restaurant part of the store was so I walk to the nearest counter. It was a man just standing there staring at me. I waiting for a moment to see if he would say anything, he didn't. So I said "May I see a menu?" Still without speaking he gave me the menu. It was two ladies sitting at a table in the store about to eat. I asked them what did they order. I walked back to the man and began to place my order when he told me I had to go to the kitchen. I had to then ask where the kitchen was. I walked to the kitchen where it was another 2 women just staring without greeting me. I waited.... nothing. So I said "Can I order?" I order the mock ginger chicken with greens, kale, and Mac & cheese. She prepared my plate as I stated my order. The food was already prepared in aluminum tins. I had to go back to the man in the front to pay. My little container of food can to damn near $15. I later realized I was charged for 2 proteins (mock chicken & ?!?!?) and 2 veggies. Not sure what side was considered a protein in their book. All the sides I ordered was considered a veggie on their menu. I drove home to enjoy my meal. I LOVE Mac & Cheese. I was not pleased at all with their Mac. It has all types of weird flavors in it. I think I taste some curry in it. YUCK!! Everything else was pretty good. I wanted to drive back to exchange the Mac for something else. If I go again I would definitely order the Mock Chicken, Greens and give the Mock Beef (mushrooms) a try. The food was decent. The employees just don't have a sense of customer service skills. It doesn't take much to just say Hello. The food is slightly pricey for the amount of food that is given. The did have a good selection of teas that I would go back to purchase. I'll give it 3 stars because I rarely to find good vegetarian food. Especially in the SE area of Washington D.C. The Mock chicken really taste like chicken.
