I can't remember his name but he has blondish hair and he was so friendly. He guided me as I ordered take out and reminded me about using the InKind app which saved us some money.

Please open up more Vegan restaurants, if possible! MarcW

Restarant should precut desserts in equal portions…read more I loved the restaurant so much I returned two consecutive weeks after my first visit. On my third visit I realized the NY Cheese cake I order for the third time was much smaller than my previous orders. The deserts are displayed in a case but are not sliced until ordered. The size you receive are subjective depending on staff member. It would be nice if the desserts were precut so that every customer receive the same portion size and I as a consumer can see what I am paying for and getting. Carley

Look, I enjoy my animal proteins quite a lot thankyouverymuch, but I have earnestly been transitioning to a more plant-forward diet due to a number reasons (hey, probably the same as yours!). Mosty I admire how the best plant-based chefs can make their recipes flavorful and filling...because it's literally more difficult from a scientific point of view (glutamates, etc.)! Over the course of two lunches and dinner offered by Simply Vegan, I can say that Nikevia really topped the charts in terms of wonderful vegan chefs. The multi-course menus were hearty, fresh, FLAVORFUL and delicious without feeling heavy at all. She had a wonderful touch with flavored waters (yes, she even flavors them better than anyone I've known!) and personal service. I very much hope that I find the occasion to have her cater an event that I organize! Or, at the very least, that others will take this review as a serious endorsement of her cooking chops. Please consider this wonderful chef and her company for your next event. Thank you, Nikevia!!

This was a pleasant surprise for me. When I looked at the menu I didn't feel like it was really a…read moreplace I wanted to prioritize over the many international food options in DC but decided to try one dish here to cross a vegan place off my list. I ended up really enjoying it! I got the Taiwanese Fried Cashew Mozzarella Croquettes (House-made plant-based cashew mozzarella rolled in Taiwanese fry batter, drizzled w/Korean ketchup) It ended up being delicious, balanced, and garlicky. They were like fried shells that were then stuffed with liquid cashew cheese which was an interesting idea for me for making things like that more simply at home. The lettuce and sauces were so good with it. They also let me try the Chinese five spice agave syrup they use on their dessert egg roll when I asked about it. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

Here's how I see it:…read more MITA delivered a dining experience that felt thoughtful from the first course to the final spoonful. As someone who does not typically gravitate toward vegetarian/vegan menus, the meal felt especially fresh and quietly innovative--proof that vegetable-forward cuisine, when handled with this level of intent, can be just as compelling, layered, and satisfying as any traditional tasting menu. Opting for the Camino Corto menu proved to be a well-judged choice. Paired with the supplemental arepas, it offered a generous and satisfying progression without ever feeling heavy. The arepas--served with guasacaca, cashew sour cream, and chontaduro butter--were an excellent addition, setting a warm, flavorful tone and easily standing as a highlight on their own. From there, the menu unfolded with precision and clarity. The picaron with persimmon, lúcuma, and huacatay was playful yet composed. The arracacha with fava beans, plantain, and mushroom dashi brought depth and umami-driven warmth, while the watermelon ceviche with white soy, cilantro, and quinoa delivered brightness and balance. The malanga course offered satisfyingly to-the-perfect point chewy texture, and the arroz con gandules--pigeon peas, sofrito, and sea beans--managed to feel both comforting and refined, a balance not easily achieved. Dessert, a modern bienmesabe with coconut sponge, coconut praline, and pineapple sorbet, closed the meal with elegance and lift. What stood out most was how seamlessly the kitchen elevated vegetables beyond expectation--never as substitutes, but as the main event. Each dish felt intentional, expressive, and complete. Service mirrored the cuisine in its composure and warmth: attentive without intrusion, polished without stiffness. There is a quiet confidence throughout MITA that allows guests to settle in and fully engage with the experience. This is the kind of restaurant that shifts perspective--where even a dedicated omnivore leaves not missing anything, but instead discovering something new. Respect to the chefs and the entire team for a meal that was both elegant and deeply satisfying.

I visited MITA for Winter Restaurant Week, and while the atmosphere is lovely, the experience was a…read morebit of a mixed bag. Because it was a set prix-fixe that wasn't posted publicly beforehand, it felt like a bit of a gamble, and unfortunately, it didn't pay off for my group. There was very little room for accommodating dietary preferences, which was surprising for a vegetable-forward concept. It would have helped if they had made the menu public so we knew what to expect before sitting down. The Malanga Gnocchi was a letdown. As a main course, it felt uninspired and lacked the "wow" factor I expected from a place with this reputation. Overall, I felt the dishes could have been much more inventive. For a Michelin-level spot, the flavors felt a bit safe and didn't showcase the full potential of plant-based Latin cuisine. The service remains attentive and the space is beautiful, but for the price point, I wanted more.

It was more on the creamier side in which I didn't care for. Maybe after it cools down it will taste better. Next time I visit I will definitely try the vegan fish.

They gave us a variety of sauces for the drumstix but I preferred them plain! Great crisp batter and flavor already. Tip: the drumstix taste just as good cold out the fridge the next day! The collard greens were solid- maybe wishing for a little more tang. Now that mac n cheese- unbelievable! Super creamy and rich and melted in your mouth!

This was my first time trying Vegan Junk Food. When I arrived I was unsure of where it was located…read morebecause there was no sign. After walking around the block I realized the location is like a food market and it's one of the many places inside. I ordered the tots and bang bang broccoli egg rolls. The tots were really good. A little on the sweet side but I enjoyed them. The Broccoli Egg Rolls I do not recommend because the broccoli was just steamed and placed in the egg roll and fried. There was no seasoning on the broccoli at all. The Bang Bang sauce was very good which helped it but I would not purchase that again. The only reason I am giving this place a four star is because the tots and Bang Bang sauce saved the meal. The pricing was kind of high to me. I can't say I would be back.

Everything was awesome and I honestly have no bad notes. Service was super fast too. Will definitely be back many times. The interior is small and cozy, with only a few tables inside and three seats by the window. Masala Dosa (5/5) - Yummy, crispy dosa and yummy filling. So yummy with an awesome crunch Kinda tastes like sourdough bread or like a cheez it in the way it crunches lol. The curried yellow potato mixture inside was well-seasoned but still light, not heavy. Chole Puri (5/5) - Delicious. The thin, fluffy bread paired perfectly with the rich bean curry. Loved this!! Samosa (4/5) - Pretty standard, but still really good, especially when I reheated it later as leftovers. Uttapam (4/5) - Still had that great fermented dough flavor. I liked the mixed veggie add-ins, which made it taste fresher.

(Really, when I checked in on Swarm, it had been 13 years since my last visit. Now we're going every month or so.) While I noticed some updating--there's more wood paneling, and the menu is sleeker, for lack of a better word--the restaurant still has a warm, friendly vibe with sunflower imagery throughout. The menu is a twist on Asian food, with plenty of analogues, chunks of soy and/or wheat protein, and some vegetables. It's not all vegan--a few dishes have dairy and/or honey, and I suspect one of the noodle dishes uses egg noodles--but those items are clearly marked. We were last there on Thanksgiving and tried a few new things. The veggie kabob reminded me a bit of the kabob at the late, lamented Harmony Cafe in Georgetown. Sure, I'll get that again. I'm not so sure about the mushroom dish. I do love mushrooms, but perhaps this isn't the way to go about it. On prior visits, we've gone with old familiars. The fried "chicken" appetizer (chunks of soy protein and mushrooms fried and served with a spicy ketchup) are a classic. I am still trying to find my go-to entree. Maybe the Crispy Happiness (chunks of soy protein and shredded vegetables cooked mild)? It's a bit far from DC, but it is worth the trip.
