Got the buddha bowl. It was awful plus the prices online are wrong - it was way more expensive than it said online, so not worth it! I had to leave and get food elsewhere read more

Rosetta's Kitchen - Buddha Bowl - Vegetarian Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Fast friendly. Wife had a big salad with seaweed avocado and various greens. I had a bowl of beans, slaw, and brown rice with a giant slab of homemade corn bread. Also had a small cup of their curried vegetables and coconut milk, which was outstanding! Ate so much I couldn't have any of their peanut butter cheesecake, which looked outstanding. They go back today for that cheesecake. read more

Wow! Old school vegan vibes. I love this place Great vegan staples and fun environment Authentic and real The service is awesome We enjoyed There is nothing like it read more

So I hate to leave a bad review on a vegan place but as a local, this is definitely the worst vegan place in Asheville. I've given it a try on several occasions and have never left satisfied. The food is so horrendously oily that you can literally see pools (POOLS!) of it in the photos. And it really is unfortunate because it's so hard to find a vegan place that isn't just a cafe and that actually stays open for dinner. Plus, I must mention that their restroom is gender neutral (totally cool), the problem is that from what I recall there was no lock. So I found myself in a pretty scary predicament when I (as a small, young female) was in the stall and a man came and peed in the urinal right next to the stall while I stayed put like a prisoner in the stall praying that he would leave soon and nothing bad would happen. read more

I've been here 3 times now and have loved it more and more! All the food I've had her le was excellent. Even my meat-eater husband loves the vegan meals here! My favorite so far has been the tempalo wings and the family favorite! I already can't wait for my next visit here! read more

The Buffalo basket was amazing and is a must order! Tempelo wings paled in comparison. Had the chips and queso as well but the queso was not as cheesy as I have had elsewhere. I had a kombucha and it was excellent. Their peanut butter cookie was awesome and better than the chocolate chocolate chip. It is a cozy, comfy, order your food and find a table place. Don't look up! It's a little dusty up there. Still rating a 5 because it is a vegan paradise. read more

Great vegan food and tasty kombucha. Went with the crowd favorite Buddha bowl. Everything in the bowl, especially the "gravy" which was unexpected. I am not a gravy fan but this was nutty and flavorful. Also had the kombucha sampler which allowed me to try all six on tab. A bit more than I could drink so beat ordered with two people. Nice outdoor patio as well. read more

I know what you're thinking..vegetarian/vegan food? And the place looks like a kind of hole in the wall? But do not be dissuaded. This place was excellent. They had some innovative dishes, and everything felt "approachable" We had the Buddha bowl, chili, and the tempeh Reuben. And they were all delicious. The desserts looked great, but we didn't have any (yes the food was that was filling!) It's like a local place, as the staff knew a lot of the patrons - and were just having casual conversations. That's always kind of cool in my book. This was a good find and I would definitely want to return. read more

I went here THREE times in 2 days. Food is fresh is filling. Best vegan ranch I've ever had. I also tried the chili and kale. 10/10 would recommend! read more

What a delicious local spot! We stopped here for dinner on a day visit to Asheville and loved it. We each had a kombucha cocktail - so yummy - and we shared the queso to start. I hate dairy queso because my stomach just cannot handle it, and this was nothing like that. You can definitely tase the nutritional yeast in it, which I love! These are hearty helpings at a reasonable pricepoint. The cocktails were reasonable as well and super delicious. This is a very casual dining environment, with dogs welcome and a seat-yourself set-up. As a result, service may be a bit slower, but the server we had was very kind and helpful. I recommend this place to vegans/vegetarians and omnivores alike! read more

The food was really good and fresh. This is my wife's favorite vegan restaurant in Asheville.

With so many great options in Asheville it was a very tough decision on where to do dinner tonight. Winner, winner, veggie dinner! Right now they are doing a walk up window. Apparently they do have upstairs seating. The menu of this vegetarian restaurant is posted and while extensive isn't really overwhelming. The choice for me was easy, I always love a vegetarian Reuben, I forget what sides come standard but for a slight upcharge I subbed sweet potato fries. We also got a Buddha bowl and a cup of chili and a bowl of today's soup- hot and sour mushroom. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, the portions are large and the additions were unwarranted but definitely not unappreciated. OMG, both the chili and the soup were truly outstanding. But things only got better from there! All vegetarian, I believe all can be made vegan. I also think all the desserts of which there were 8-10 to choose from are vegan. Also, we walked about 10 minutes back to our hotel with the food and it traveled well, tasted every bit as good as eating in. read more

Rosetta's kitchen is a nomz vegetarian restaurant, with lots of vegan and gluten free options too, in downtown Asheville. There is a pay parking lot across the street off Lexington, and also plenty of street parking - so bring some quarters and spare change for the meter. There are two entrances - one off Lexington, and one off Broadway Street. The upstairs is counter service and the downstairs is full service where you have a server. I decided to sit downstairs so I didn't accidentally fall up the stairs (yes- it's been done). I had eaten there before, but it had been a few years since I'd visited, and wanted to go back after I'd seen their "pigs that paint" exhibition featured on their IG. Plus I wanted to check out their downstairs buchi bar. You seat yourself, unless you're wearing an invisible suit and/or cloak - then you may want to politely notify the server that you're grabbing a table (and maybe that you're invisible for the time being so she/he doesn't think their hearing voices). I sat at the bar by the window so I could people/puppers watch and make sure my car didn't get towed after the meter ran out. I always like to put on the 'crying act' once the tow truck driver shows up. And, it always works. Ok - I'm lying. It never works and the tow truck driver always drives off with my car in tow shaking their head in disgust. Anyway, for seating theres also a large bar in the back and plenty of tables in between. To drink I got a non alcoholic "free spirited spritzer", called the "Garden Tea Party". It sounded super refreshing when I saw it on the menu, and it was! Not only was it adorable with a fancy lemon and lime, it tasted super fresh- very cucumbery and yum, and had just the right amount of spritz to it. To eat - I ordered the "Tempeh Reuben" with the daiya cheese, and upgraded to "Sweet Potato Fries" with a side of the chipotle ketchup. The nice server lady brought me a side of ranch too- which was perfect for my fries! The sp fries were just the right amount of crispy and spicy, super nomz and very fresh. The Reuben was very tasty, packed with tempeh and topped with yum sauerkraut. It came on yummy focaccia bread, which I enjoyed. Besides the food, the thing that I really like about Rosetta's Kitchen is that they offer meals on a sliding scale so that people that are in transition can afford a healthy meal too. On my next visit I plan on trying the Nachos, they looked super nomz and hearty. read more

Very fun atmosphere, Love the vibe of it all ! We started our order with a kombucha flight - great array of flavors and options my fav was Water because of the watermelon flavor. We ordered food and I got a small portion of The Mountain, and my partner got the Chili Cheese Fries. Starting with The Mountain, delicious. Would absolutely recommend this menu item for the flavor, textures, it was such a good meal. Now for the fries.... Well more like the "cheese" plate. These fries were absolutely saturated in faux cheese and very spicy bean chili. I wish I would like it but it was SPICEY! Plus the cheese on top was very unappetizing. After these two plates we got the Ruben. A great option and it tasted just like a real Ruben too ! While we were leaving the chef that night talked to us about our plates and apologized and offered to remove the chili from our ticket. It was no issue we paid, but felt very heard from him. Would totally recommend this spot for a vegan and someone who wants to try good vegan food! read more

If this restaurant was anywhere other than Asheville I don't think it would be rated as highly. It really leans into the dingy homegrown local vibe but the food is so lackluster. Locals wax poetically about the family favorite so that's where I started. It's a few chunks of dry bready peanut butter tofu, salty greens, wet goooey mashed potatoes, and a bland overly salted gravy. The tempeh wings are $15 after tax and tip for 3 strips plus a handful of celery and carrots. The tempeh required a knife because it was so dried out and tough. The strawberry cake had a broken icing and the actual cake was close in texture and wet without any hint of a strawberry flavor. If it were not for the icing I could not have guessed "strawberry" if my life depended on it. It just tastes like sugar and paste. $50 for an exceptionally mediocre meal. Vegan doesn't mean compromise quality of ingredients, texture, and flavor. Zero desire to return. read more

A kombucha bar? On tap?? Does it get any better? Nope. That's the answer. Buchi booch is my favorite. You've got to try Fire. We'll go back for food. Today was just a booch. Yummmmyyyy read more

Oh my goodness! Loved loved our food from here! Although many restaurants are allowing seating in Asheville, I'm honestly glad that these guys aren't yet. I kinda went crazy and ordered 2 entrees, one appetizer with the veggie nuggets and the housemade kombucha x2. The Buddha was ridiculously good....like every little part of it. The coconut curry was my husband's choice and poor him, as I ate more than half! I was curious about the veggie nuggets. Like they seem like a kids app right? Ok..kids will love them but I loved them too and that DIP? Goodness me. My husband is not a vegan fan in general but he was very happy with this dinner choice. Bravo! I can't wait to come back! read more

I think this was my favorite meal while visiting Asheville. The peanut butter tofu was delicious but the cornbread was the best I've had. We also got a kombucha sampler which was fun. For dessert we had chocolate peanut butter cake and coffee cheesecake. Both were out of this world. If I lived in Asheville I would eat here all the time. read more

Yes. Good food, good service. I feel good going in and feel good going out. I had the soup and at first the bowl looked small but it was just enough! They brought me some cornbread on the side which was moist and slightly toasted on the outside. I will go back and eat when I want to feel nourished. read more

Phenomenal meal. We were traveling through and ordered some takeout from this location based on the number of reviews. We were NOT disappointed. I ate the Smokey tofu and avocado sandwhich and it was so delicious. The sourdough bread was the perfect touch. The vegan queso basket was delicious with an excellent chip to cheese ratio. The sweet potato fries were the perfect cross of sweet/ salty, mushy/ crispy and just a bit spicy. One of the best meals I've had in a long time read more

We decided to walk downtown Asheville to get a very late lunch (we are from out of town and attending the Asheville Percussion Festival). We immediately walked upon Rossetti as the wide open window was inviting and there was a menu right on its ledge/counter for us to see what's offered as hubby has both gluten and dairy allergies among many other). There were lots of options for him, and place was still pretty full so late in the day, ~3 pm. The waitress came, forgot her name and immediately asked if we wanted anything to drink when she brought the menu. She was great about answering questions as I ended up ordering the Tempeh sandwich which I chose the carrot & celery side. My sandwich was huge and delicious! My stomach ached after we left because I ate the whole thing, plus I don't normally eat gluten so the delicious rye fococcia bread bloated me big time. Hubby raved about his avocado and tofu sandwich which had GF bread. He chose the fries as sides. Extremely delicious Our waitress was really good about checking back and she felt a bit uncomfortable about the fact that she needed to leave since her shift was over. Since our daughter had worked as a waitress, we knew immediately what she needed, so we said, please bring our bill and we can pay it now so you can leave. Other staff really helped with followup. We saw a different table with a different waiter but another would come and clean up table. I love seeing staff work like a nice family. They have nice interesting plant structure on brick wall. The cool mobile hanging from the open window ceiling really fascinated me. Price is what you'd expect in Asheville, over $10 pp though if you selected small plates or sides . . Lots of choices. There was something on menu for sliding scale and nice, open vibe. I come to Asheville a bit for yoga classes, so this will be another to visit back for sure! read more

We were saving room to eat at Rosetta's Kitchen, an eclectic restaurant in downtown Asheville. In the interior is a little cramped, and the seating is somewhat limited if they get busy. I'm a tacoholic, so I was all over the vegan chorizo tacos. My husband got the Iron Skillet Corn Bread and the Peanut Butter Baked Tofu. All of the food was super flavorful. The tofu was fairly dense. The tacos were a little heavy on the cumin for my husband, but I enjoyed them overall. read more

Due to Covid, they were offering take out only at this time. Very easy to order online and pick up at the window. We ordered the buffalo Tempe wings, Family dinner, and blueberry coconut cake. It was all so delicious, my favorite was probably the homemade vegan ranch. Since converting to vegan, I haven't had ranch that truly tastes like ranch until going here. I would suggest getting the wings, even though a little pricey, it's worth it. Ours were kinda cold in the middle, almost like it needed to fried a little longer, but I wouldn't discredit them because the flavor was that good. Also, the peanut butter tofu...wow, it definitely had a good home feeling. The cake was soft and perfectly sweet. I definitely can't wait to go back and try more things off the menu. We were hungry, so we didn't end up taking pictures sadly. read more

Food is really good, but the restaurant needs a really good deep clean. The tables are filthy. The restrooms are rundown and dirty. They also have a "bus your own table" policy -- straight to a bus cart along the dining room wall with everyone else's old plates, cups, and food. It's actually pretty gross. It's a shame because they have a lot of delicious, vegan options to choose from. :( read more

Food was delicious. Yummy mash potatoes with delicious vegan gravy. The tofu here is heavenly.

Rosetta's in one of my favorite restaurants! I love all the different meals and desserts on their menu, as well as the gorgeous new location! I have brought many of my non-vegan friends here, and they were shocked at how good vegan food is! I look forward to going here way more when I move to Asheville next month (: read more

Wonderful food!! Comfortable cozy dining area. I highly recommend I am not vegan or vegetarian but found the food to be fabulous. So nice to have options read more

An electric mix of homegrown vegetables but hubby wasn't so sure about their vegetable burger. He felt it's probably a great place but he should have ordered the fried peanut butter tofu with kale I ordered a Swiss portabello mushroom melt. Both dishes come with either a choice of tortilla chips or coleslaw. We chose the wrong one. We ordered the chips. Later as the locals came in, they all ordered the slaw. Clearly we were out of towners. Lol read more

Omg!!!! We spent a few days in Gatlinburg before heading to Ashville. Gatlinburg was not vegan friendly, thank goodness for taco bell 7 layer burrito fresco or I would have starved. So when we stopped by this place, I thought I was in heaven!! So many choices. I went with the Reuben and was thrilled!! The bread was so good! They hit a homerun! I had a flight of kombucha, each one was tastier than the next. Took a piece of raw cheesecake home for a nightcap. So decadent! Thank you for a meal that satisfied this vegan more than I could have ever imagined! read more

Very conflicted about Rosettas. The kombucha flight was such a great idea. I was able to introduce my parents to kombucha and push the health benefits. Maybe now they won't pass it by in the grocery store. Street level is the bar area, with still plenty of seating and upstairs is the main kitchen area. We ordered and waited. Mind you... 3 boys... 6, 4 and year and a half. And waited some more. Thank you to that server who brought the boys their food and complimentary vegan nachos (pretty tasty). Waited some more. Husband overheard the kitchen was backed up. I believe we waited for more than an hour for the food. Food was awesome and everyone loved their meals. I love the kombucha on tap (the same Buchi "earth" in the bottle does not taste the same AT ALL) but I REALLY hope that wait for the food is not a normal thing. Issues happen, I understand. I'm very thankful our server was aware and brought snacks and the boys meals first. Hopefully next time our food won't take forever. Yes, I'll be back, it was that good. read more

If you have any kind of dietary restriction, preference or food allergy, Rosetta is the place to go. Even if you don't and just want healthy, good for the planet soul food, this is the spot. First off, delicious kombucha and old fashioned. Yum. I hard a very hard time deciding what to order because there are so many options that are vegan and gluten-free. Our waitress was very patient with my indecisiveness. Ended up with the grilled portobello plate (seriously, who needs a steak with a mushroom that meaty and flavorful) with mashed potatoes, gravy and collard greens. Makes you wanna slap yo' mama. Raw vegan desserts! Save room. Amazing cheeze cake. I barely had room but it simply had to happen. If I could give 6 stars I could. read more

Update-Came back tonight. Everything is better than ever. Had to eat upstairs because the bar was far too busy. Upstairs is a lovely cafe style restaurant with all the favorites. We had the veggie burger (there has to be something illegal in that), the smoked tofu wrap (these guys are magicians with tofu) the queso (wait, there's not cheese in that?!) And the peanut butter cheesecake. (Whoa my gawd it was heaven!!!) Went downstairs after for a few drinks and were taken care of by Nara (aka badass. Give this one a raise @BuchiBar!!!) I can't wait to come back to our little slice of heaven soon! Omg. So happy we came here. The ladies at the Herbiary recommended that we stop by and they were right! Sat at the bar and were taken care of by Brandi (She. Is. Amazing!) Ordered the "wings" to start. They were crispy, spicy and absolutely perfect! Shared the Family Favorite for dinner and dear Lord I've never had tofu so good. Cocktails were on point, kombucha flight was to die for. I seriously cannot say enough good about the Buchi Bar. read more

Nice place. The food is delicious. I had mashed potatoes with kale and portobello mushrooms. The kale wasn't soggy, it was really well cooked. The gluten free gravy was fantastic. The server was really nice. I'm not fond of the bathroom situation -gender neutral but shared, so you might walk in on someone at a urinal, which I fear. I'm fine with all gender individual bathrooms, but I don't want anyone who is a man and identifies as a man to be in the same bathroom with me while I pee. All women, cis or trans I'm fine sharing a bathroom with, just not men since I've had too many very scary sexual assault experiences, some in bathrooms. If the main door locked and it was a solo person bathroom that's fine. If you pee sitting down, go to the one on the left to avoid seeing anyone use the urinal. I do really appreciate that this restaurant offers low cost sliding scale food for people who can't afford a lot. read more

In town on business. Finding plant based options can be challenging, but, Asheville, you've delivered. Decided to try out Rosetta's Kitchen. Fast, friendly service in a laid back atmosphere. We did not order from the drink menu, but they had some fun, eclectic options that looked delish!! Appy: vegan queso with chips. I'm always leery of vegan quesos, but this one did not disappoint. Full of flavor. Me: small plate vegan chorizo soft tacos (3) add avocado. Perfect portion for someone who'd just eaten a large share of the aforementioned appy. Great presentation and flavor. Salsa was flavorful without being too hot and overpowering. Hubs: Nachos. Also from the appy menu, but he's a Texas boy who loves his nachos. Chips, beans (our fave), vegan queso, pico and added avocado. He ate the whole plate even though halfway in, he said he was full. He swore they were too good to waste! Had great conversation with a guy who I assumed is the owner. Talked about where we were from, going plant based and at the end of the conversation, he recommended several of his plant-based competitors!! I thought this was the best part of the night - very community minded. I also fell in love with one of the dishes on the back of the menu. We didn't order it, but it was a beans and rice plate with a sliding scale price. Basically pay what you're able between $2 and $6. Anything over $6 allows them to pay it forward to the community. Way to keep the humanity in your organization, y'all!! Can I give ten stars? read more

I'm a fan! Hits the spot when your looking for a savory satisfying meal!! The cornbread and greens!!! So freakin food! Get extra gravy!!! The cocktails with homemade kombucha and cbd oil is a really cool touch! Super laid back setting! read more

We enjoyed a meal here today! I ordered the tempeh Reuben with slaw. While it was delicious, I didn't love that they moved away from traditional with a homemade walnut sauce instead of thousand island. It was still really good but lacked that true Reuben taste. My wife ordered the veggie burger which she said was like a falafel patty. She enjoyed it a great deal. My mother in law snagged the Buddha Bowl and found it to be delicious. We split the corn bread and collards with gravy. The corn bread wasn't my favorite ever but the collards were perfect and the gravy was lovely. I grabbed their version of a golden milk as well. That may have been my very favorite part of the meal. It was warm, mildly spiced with a lot of depth. Our server was very kind and attentive. The atmosphere was warm inviting. I'd definitely come back again. read more
