    Sunday Funday dinner MAR2025
    Franklin M.

    After going on a hike at the nearby Baldwin Hills Overlook we wanted to have some quick no waiting Indian food. This was the nearby choice and we found free limited parking in back. We picked a three item combo, garlic naan, plus a samosa on the side. They only serve vegetarian and no meat at all. The food was really good and had lots of flavor. We love hot and spicy food which this was not but we still enjoyed it very much. There's amply room inside to eat but many customers were taking it to go.

    Quality customer service affordable freshness I definitely recommend this place. Great location and available parking in the back!

    You can select a two or three combo plate that includes rice and bread of your choice. Everything is already made and placed in heaters to be scooped up onto your plate. Surprisingly, the vegan options weren't clearly marked and I mistakenly ordered a veggie chicken dish that ended up not being vegan. It was a mistake on my end to not ask, but I falsely assumed most items would be okay, but definitely double check to make sure. I went with their Daal, Jackfruit Curry, and another dish that I honestly can't remember because the food was fairly plain and basic. I appreciated having the veg options but nothing really blew me away or left a memorable mark for me. My friend seemed to love the samosas so I likely messed up by not ordering the restaurant's namesake. Next time!

    I feel this place has gone downhill. This is for my brown brethren and sisters. Just wanted a small snack and I always want this to be good. But then it just kinda fails. Who puts Chana masala/chhole on bhel puri? Like what?I mean at least try to make an authentic dish. It's just hella soggy mess.

    I order takeout from here all the time and it is SO good that I have to write a review. The vegan…read morechicken salad wrap is probably my favorite item. Whenever I'm craving salad or some crunch, I order that with the crispy chicken, non-spicy, with avocado and sprouts added and veganaise on the side. It is SO good and gives me that chicken salad fix that I miss since going vegetarian. It also comes with chips! Oh here's another tip: I dip the chips in the veganaise and then stuff it inside the wrap for added crunch and to distribute the veganaise in the wrap. I also love the coconut cake, cashew crunch bowl, pancakes, and everything else I've tried here. Everything tastes homemade (in the best way!) like everything is made with love, and you can taste it in every bite. Like i said, I order from here all the time and it is so fast. I know some of that depends on the driver, but they always prepare it super fast and package it up with care. My food is always still hot and fresh by the time it gets to me. The fries are somehow still the perfect consistency by the time they arrive! (If you like McDonald's and in n'out fries you'll love these!) I love getting takeout from here, but I'll have to dine in sometime soon!

    If you think vegan food is boring... respectfully, you just haven't been to The Vegan Joint…read more Let's get into it. Food: I started with the appetizer wings -- sweet glaze with a little hint of heat -- and baby they did not come to play. That glaze had the perfect balance of sweet + subtle spice, and dipped in the vegan ranch? Chef's kiss. The texture was on point too. Not soggy. Not dry. Just right. Then I ordered the spring rolls (one of my go-to favorites here) and swapped the peanut sauce for the plum dipping sauce. Elite decision. The plum sauce adds that tangy-sweet vibe that makes you keep reaching back for "just one more bite." Fresh, light, and flavorful without feeling heavy. And what I really love? You can eat good and still feel good after. It's giving healthy but satisfying. They also have a variety of healthy drinks and desserts to choose from, so you're not just stuck with water and vibes. Whether you're trying to be mindful about what you eat or just want something delicious that happens to be plant-based, this is the spot. Service: Friendly, efficient, and quick. Ordering is easy whether you're dining in, grabbing pick-up, or getting it delivered. No stress, no attitude, just smooth service. Ambience: Casual, chill, and welcoming. Perfect for a cute solo lunch, casual dinner, or catching up with friends who are "trying to eat better" but still want flavor. Overall, this place proves vegan food can absolutely be healthy and delicious. You don't have to sacrifice taste to make better choices. I'll definitely keep this in rotation.

When I went to order at the counter, the staff said we could sit and they were serve us, which I wasn't expecting at all! I really appreciate they that have both the fast-casual order style and the sit down and enjoy style duality to this restaurant. I got the chai latte and a hummus bowl with falafel (though as I write this I can't remember if that was the actual menu name of the dish). It was delicious--the falafel was one of the best I've ever had taste wise, and a bit on the airy side instead of being super dense, which I appreciated. Sometimes falafel is too dang dry, and they really got it right. The hummus was phenomenal. I'm really such a sucker for a good, quality hummus and it was so creamy and the oil they topped it with was wonderful too. The veggies were fresh and the pita was such a star: it was thick and chewy and clearly freshly made. Immediate 5 star for the food. So glad I stopped by here and will definitely be back!

We had people in our group with nut and gluten allergies and we had a vegan and pescatarian. They were able to accommodate EVERY dietary restriction and everything remained DELICIOUS. For starters, we ordered the MOMO dumplings: one veggie and one mutton. Both flavors were incredibly flavorful and I loved the orange dipping sauce it came with - it paired perfectly with it! For my main, I got LAMB SAAG. It was my very first time trying this and I was not disappointed in the slightest! Incredible flavor, great portion size. The entrees do not come with rice so I also ordered a side of white rice that went very well with the dish. For the table, we ordered KEEM NAAN, CHEESE NAAN, and GARLIC NAAN - all of them tasted great with everyone's dishes as well (if you choose to not get rice, the naan is perfect with the entree). As a lovely sweet treat, we received plates of watermelon at the very end! The perfect palette cleanser and so refreshing In terms of parking, it was a little tricky but not impossible! Definitely get there early to find parking, or try your luck searching for street parking (the street parking is free!). The total for our meal of 8 people was: ~$366, not including tip and every person got a drink (cocktails, teas, and lassis). I feel this price is an AMAZING bang for your buck, especially for a group of 8 people!! I absolutely intend to return here, it was a wonderful experience!
