I went there just today to get some food with my sister. Shes a vegan gluten free vegetarian. So we get the food and leave. By the time we drive home, she hands me leftovers. I dont usually eat this kind of food so i inspect every bite. Next thing i know i look under a mushroom and there was this beetle spider hybrid looking at me. Now i know vegetarians eat some different things. But i dont think they eat bugs. Disgusted i spit out the rest and threw it in the garbage. First and last.
Worst ever! I walk in the place and two workers are available. One being the counter (lady) on her phone on social media, and a guy sitting on a stool in the front. I was in there for three minutes until I asked a question because none of the workers even cared to say welcome, or may I help you find something. I asked exactly what was in the chicken, the lady yells, SOY, then proceeds to use her phone. Not a soul in this place smiled or seemed interested in business. Not to mention in the back where they have the food, looked like it had been sitting there for hours. It was dried up from sitting under the heat lamps all day. One of my worst experiences Ive had since moving to NY two years ago. Never will I even attempt to go there again.
Could renovate their store more . But food is amazing taste good. Good vegan food.
This is my spot for life. Ital food on point. Homemade moss juices on point. Soups on point.
Not bad. I stay away from soy myself. Only dislike is that it seems they leave the food out all day. Not a bad business, needs some minor improvements.
Customer Services 👌 , cleansiness, products💯 and good staff . ( ital is vital. Big up !)
Food is good, place is small, limited seating, but great carry out vegan restaurant and mini health food store/herbal shop
Very knowledgeable in healing.
I get my herbal teas from here! Fantastic health food store.
I have been going here for years. Great family intellectuals with humble atmosphere.
This is the place for all your herbs and to get some valuable info. Glad to have them in Wakefield.
So happy to finally see places like this open up in the neighborhood. The Bx needs way more vegan options.
Food was okay. I dont ever come here or want to come here, though. I think this is mostly just a spot for vegetarians.
Great vegan friendly food only wish they deliver

2020-05-08This place is simply amazing. Fresh food that is delicious. They are very generous with their portions and have a great selection. The only thing I would warn anyone about is that the aroma coming from the food is so amazing that its extremely difficult to resist eating it immediately. Even my car smells good from the aroma. Highly recommended!

2021-03-30Great spot in the Bronx for healthy choices. You can ask the staff questions you have for recommendations. If ur looking into herbal medicine you can add HIM to ur list. And while ur there try any one of their delicious patties. My favorite is the fish patty and the ackee patty.

2019-08-14Everything Ive had here is incredibly delicious, from bean stew to okra to faux meat soy dishes to patties to cookies and even something I never enjoy, kale, somehow they make me like it here! I feel very welcomed too when I go in. Id give them 6 stars if I could, great spot.

2018-10-01I’m a new “Vegan”. My barber (skyline barbershop) told me about this place he goes to and what can I say... ABSOLUTELY AMAZEBALLS. Very quaint but it has soooo many different things. I always find myself just looking around in amazement. I’ve been there 3-4 times and the customer service has always been on point especially the young woman and the owner I believe. Delicious food, I only wish they had what I like consistently (black bean balls). However everything I’ve ever purchased has been so freaking good! I buy my detox, incense, sage, everything there! Initially from the outside looking in it could look a little intimidating. The neighborhood it’s in, some of the ppl hanging out. But looks can be deceiving. Even the customers help you out! I really like this place and will continue my vegan journey with them...

2016-12-07I have been coming here ever since I discovered them on Burke Avenue. I am not vegetarian nor vegan, but tend to visit a lot of these types of restaurants to try new dishes. This review is coming from someone who has tried Blossum, Gobo, VSpot, Candle 79, and many others. I also use to be a Health Inspector for the city, so I did a lot of traveling and tried different places during my lunch breaks.Hands down best vegan food in the city, or at least its up there in my top two favorite vegetarian/vegan ever. Everyone I have taken here has enjoyed the food. If youve never experienced food made with absolute love, then you really have to try their food. All the dishes I have tried are well seasoned with fresh herbs in a wonderful mix of complex flavors.As far as operations, this establishment is a to-go type of eatery. You go in, order from their selection of the day, and then pay. The staff are really friendly, and are not the type to kiss your ass. However, if you have questions or want to learn more they are VERY knowledgable. Again, they are not there to kiss your ass, so get off your high horse or go somewhere else where they add a grain of salt to your food. They work really hard and are really kind, so they deserve the respect.Their main menu is typically what they make for the day. They offer cake slices (death by chocolate, cheesecake and some others), and plenty; varying teas, tonics, and herbs. There are some pretty good books too.I dont normally review but they are absolutely worth my time. I really love this place and hope they continue their good work spreading the love.
