Food was good but I was glutened. About 5 min after finishing my food my mid section started cramping very badly. The next 3-5 days were hell. I felt as if I read going to be okay since they warned me only the fryer was not dedicated so I passed on those foods but clearly maybe the toaster and utensils were not as well as washing hands etc.

This place seemed to know what they were doing, and the food was tasty, but it's been two times now that I've felt not-so-great after eating there, kind of don't want to risk a third.

This place was really good! There were lots of gf options. As a vegan/vegetarian restaurant, some of the combinations sound crazy but all the food we ate was excellent. Didn’t get sick.

Cute vegetarian place with a lot of gluten free options, both naturally gf stuff and gf bread/pasta. They seem to be knowledgeable about allergies.

This is a vegetarian place that also has gluten free items on their menu.

I got the African potato/peanut stew and it was delicious.

I would feel comfortable eating here regularly.

The interior is simple yet elegant. The menu is all vegetarian with a separate gluten free menu and plenty of choices The vegetarian jambalaya was excellent. I would go back for lunch again.
