I was so happy to find a restaurant that serves vegan Creole/Cajun/Soulfood while I was visiting New Orleans. They have parking on the street and on their side of a shared parking lot against the building. Be careful not to park in the H&R Block spots or you'll get towed. I was greeted warmly as I entered the restaurant. Everyone was friendly and helpful. You order at the counter, it's cafeteria style and they scoop up your choices into a divided container. You can choose from 1 to 4 entrees and they will offer you a sample if you're undecided. My dining companion ordered the vegan lasagna, vegan mac & cheese, orange cauliflower. I was sampled a little bit of each. The vegan lasagna 10/10. It's very hearty and delicious. The vegan mac & cheese, 7.5/10. I tend to like a little bit more zing to mine. I sampled the collard greens and I'm not a fan because I don't like kale, so I figured I wouldn't like collard greens either. I chose the curry vegetables, jambalaya, okra gumbo and orange cauliflower and I got talked into a piece of cornbread as I checked out. Curry vegetables, 10/10. They were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The jambalaya was on point. I loved it 10/10. The okra gumbo was just not for me 5/10. The orange cauliflower was 10+/10. It was so freaking good! I'm missing it already. it reminded me of panda express. I brought the well-wrapped cornbread all the way back to St. Louis and it's a 10/10. I wish I had bought more. They have a self-serve, water cooler, or bottled water or juice. This is a casual neighborhood restaurant and it is a fantastic place to try vegan food if you never have tried it. If you are hard-core vegan, there's so much here to enjoy and so many gluten-free options. I will definitely be returning on my next visit to New Orleans.
That green drink tho! I came here for a work conference and fell in love. The sweet cauliflower wings are a must try and the okra gumbo is good. I also got the Mac and cheese. But the green juice is hands down the surprising star. It's refreshing, healthy, and tastes amazing. It is so popular my Lyft driver saw where I was going and parked herself to her a drink!
I am not vegetarian or vegan but my friend is so I was willing to visit with her and I am so glad I did. Love the cafeteria style service and large portion sizes. I did the pick four with jambalaya, okra gumbo, cashew Mac and cheese and cornbread dressing. All of them were delicious. The pick 4 was enough for two meals! Wish I had been in town on a day that they had banana pudding because I just know that would have been delicious. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Definitely a hole in the wall place away from the tourist hustle and bustle.
So many vegan options! You can order online but there was no line in person. We got the sweet heat cauliflower, okra gumbo, philly pasta, bread pudding, chickpea cakes, cashew mac, collard greens, potato salad. Really enjoyed everything! All the food was delicious. Great home cooked vibe. I would definitely come back. Love that they rotate the menu and you can try different things different days. There's not enough good, affordable vegan restaurants like this one out there so please keep doing what you're doing!
Always solid Soulfood that just happens to be vegan. $10 Pick 3 Wednesdays are an offering right now, so it's a great time to try! I've been going for years, and the food has yet to disappoint!
Great food. Great people. I highly recommend this place. Between my husband and I, we ordered the okra gumbo, dirty rice, jambalaya, red beans, cornbread dressing, sweet heat cauliflower, crispy cauliflower, and collards. They were all amazing in their own right. They seem to have a good business with people streaming in nonstop throughout the time we were there...and it's well deserved. Very worth the stop.
Service was great. Nice and friendly, seemed family ran. I ended up getting the okra gumbo 10/10 cornbread dressing 7/10 orange cauliflower 7/10 and stuffed bell pepper 4/10. I just wasn't a fan of the plant based meat used. Its tasted like one of the plant based sausages in walmart I just cant put my finger on the brand.
Amazing customer service and such a wide selection of delicious vegan sides to choose from, this spot is definitely my go-to when I'm craving clean soul food that makes me feel good inside. I really love their fried cauliflower and savory greens, and their vegan brownie tastes better than a dairy one! 8/10 I recommend this place when you're craving veggies or Caribbean food ~
We were visiting the Crescent City and came across the restaurant on Yelp. We arrived in time to order. I was so excited! I ordered the orange cauliflower, curried vegetables over rice, okra gumbo with a bit of rice, and the mac & cashew cheese and a green goodness! It was sooooo good! My hubby ordered the sweet potatoes, greens, rice with the "pot liquor" from the red beans and the Mac & cashew cheese. It was all very delicious! It hit the spot for me. While serving cafeteria style, they ask if you have any nut allergies due to the cashew Mac & cheese. It was a comfortable environment with a nice mural of Dr. Sebi on the wall. Definitely a place that I'd visit again. Good food. Good people. Good environment and good prices!
When I want to reward myself for a job well done, getting out of bed, or heck just surviving another day I go to Sweet Soulfood. See lemmme take ya back. I used to date this vegan that took me here and my life had never been the same! Much like their name, Sweet soulfood has just that , sweet helpful employees that make the experience just as good as the food . The food is always hot and fresh. It's such a unique way of combining vegan and soul. Theres not much more I can say other than RUN don't walk. You will not be disappointed! Also you get so much food, I've never missed a meal in my life and I still can't finish the portions in one sitting!
Stopped in for lunch, definitely a place to eat again. Everything is vegan, making for easy non-dairy (allergy) selections. The Thursday lunch special was one main dish with two sides. The two of us were both happy with our selections. I was happy to be able to try okra gumbo with sides of BBQ cauliflower and grilled veggies. My fried had jambalaya with sides of creamy potatoes (like au gratin) and fried cauliflower. I'd try any of those again, as well as having something new as well. The staff was friendly and most helpful when I was at the counter trying to decide what to select. read more

Absolutely positively incredible vegan food! I had the bbq cauliflower, cashew macaroni and cheese, mixed vegetables, collard greens and potato salad. I also had a green goddess drink. Everything was outstanding! We need a restaurant like this in Hollywood/Dania Beach Florida. I would go there frequently if we did. Great job! Thank you so much! read more

Food was really good. They were good at pointing out what may have common allergens (nuts). I'm so glad to see such a genuinely good vegan food place in business. read more

Always a pleasure coming here. Friendly staff. Incredible vegan homestyle food. As usual, I ordered the four plate option and decided to try a few different things this time - including the curry and the stuffed peppers. Everything was phenomenal and flavorful as it always is. Unfortunately, they were out of cornbread when I went and it's a must !!! But, I did go later than usual this time than I typically would.. Until next time !! read more

Delicious and flavorful food in abundance! We were in town for a wedding weekend and didn't want to leave NOLA with out eating at Sweet Soulfood. And the excellent service and scrumptious food did not disappoint! My husband is often skeptical of veg soul food but he devoured all that was on his plate. There is open seating available and the ambiance is welcoming and gives a vibe of community. I will definitely stop here again during my next trip to New Orleans. read more

Amazing! I did the Choose Your Plate 4 with Mac N Cheese, Sweet Potatoes, stuffed pepper, & Collard Greens, a pineapple lemonade & cornbread. Staff were friendly. Super clean. Love it! read more
Came here before heading to the airport and it was wonderful. The food tasted amazing! My favorites were the barbecue cauliflower and the fried cauliflower with sweet heat sauce. The macaroni and cheese was excellent, as was the cornbread. I haven't liked collard greens or okra much in the past, but I enjoyed both here. Bread pudding was also great. It's cafeteria-style and the line moves quickly. Wasn't super busy when we arrived shortly after they opened at 11 but by noon it was pretty full. Staff were friendly and wanted to make sure you knew that everything was vegan, even if it looked like meat. Great value for the amount of food you get too. My spouse and I each got a four-item plate which essentially served as 2-3 meals for each of us throughout our travel day. Highly recommend to anyone in New Orleans looking for vegetarian or vegan options. read more
I will jump on this train. Fantastic vegan food and I'm not vegan but I try to avoid dairy. Hard to do unless you go to a vegan place :) Enjoyed everything I had. The ramalaud sauce was so good with fried mushrooms I bought one to take home. The Mac and cheese was good, not the best but better than a lot as it didn't have a strange taste as most do. Not quite normal Mac but still good. The creole curry was great. Bought cornbread cause had to and glad I did. Bread pudding was delicious! The green juice was awesome. Really dig the place, can't wait to come back to try their ice creams but electricity was out so they had none :( read more

The portions are phenomenal: we had enough food for lunch and dinner, ending up absolutely stuffed both times. For Vegans and nonvegans alike, no one should miss a chance to eat here. The bread pudding was so amazing. I know I'm going to be dreaming about it. read more

I stopped in to try the sweet heat cauliflower, which was absolutely delicious. The portion size is sufficient for the price. The food is magnificently displayed in a buffet style. Both ladies taking the orders and checking the customers out were pleasant. The restaurant is spacious, with good lighting, seating, and off the street parking. Great place with healthy and tasty options. read more

We stayed in NOLA for 5 days and was able to come to Sweet Soulfood on our last day. I am so happy we got to get our grub on here. The red beans and rice were really good and definitely rate it 10/10. It wasn't overly salty. It was perfectly balanced and beans were not overly mushy. Best red beans and rice i've had. The fried mushrooms and cabbage/collard greens were good. The mac and cheese was a bit sweet for my taste but hot sauce came to the rescue. My wife loved the candied yams and creole curry. If we.... I mean WHEN we come back to NOLA, we are definitely hitting up this place. The staff was very friendly and they were dancing and having a good time. Loved it. Appreciate you Chef and staff! read more

I am so happy a place like this exists!!! I really wanted to hit a vegan place during a recent trip to NOLA but wasn't sure if I could fit it into my binge eating-schedule. We had actually planned to go to Willie Mae's but one can only take sitting in the sweltering heat and humidity during midday for so long and we took it as a sign that we should check out this place instead. They have SO many options it's so difficult to choose and GF couldn't so decided to order five things lmao: fried cauliflower, mac n cheese, jambalaya, mushrooms and gravy, and collard greens. I stuck with the mac n cheese, red beans and rice, and green beans. The green beans were incredible, I adored the seasoning. The red beans and rice were TO DIE. They do fucking vegan jambalaya RIGHT, you won't even miss the meat. The mac n cheese was my least favorite, it was slightly sweet and lacking that umami flavor one seeks when consuming pasta and "cheese". We were literally so full from our over-ordering that we had to take leftovers back and thus the collard greens were the collateral damage. As we only ate them cold as leftovers, it's hard to judge but they also were not my favorite and neither of us felt compelled to finish them. We ordered one of their juices which was also delicious but a touch too sweet for me, easily remedied by diluting with water that is offered. One of the staff members who checked us out (maybe the owner or manager?) seemed to be a little bit impatient and annoyed with us when we were asking questions about the juices during check out (literally asking what juices they recommend/are available and seems like a reasonable question..)which detracted from the experience. I love what they're doing here and overall, I'm glad we stopped in. read more
