A friend picked this vegan restaurant. When we got in there it was packed with people and we had to wait outside. We waited for maybe 10-15 minutes? The people before us gave up on their table so we got to get in early or we would have to wait even longer.
The service was good, they were really nice. However, one of the hostess dipped some of my friend's drink on her new cellphone. We were all =O. And the girl said "that's why I'm a hostess and not a waitress". Interesting...
The names on the menu are a bit hard to say and I really like their menus. It was put together with an actual children book. I thought that was really cool, it's like reusing the book.Yup, Mister got to go.
Anyways, I ordered the Shakshuka pita ($10.50). My friends ordered the Kasum platter ($16), Shnitelonim hummus plate ($15), Spiked Limonana with Vodka ($10) and a Lumberjack Baklava ($9) to share.
My pita was pretty good. On the top there were vegan sausages, the texture was a bit different compared to normal sausages. It had a rougher texture, maybe made with bean curd, and it was spicy. The red part, carrot and other veggie was spicy as well, it gets spicier. The green part, salad greens, didn't have much taste. On the very bottom, there were a bit of hummus. The pita, it was soft on one side and crunchy on the other side. I really like how this whole pita reminds me of Indian food, and I really like the spices in Indian food, very good.
I tried a fried cauliflower and chick pea fries from the Kasum. The cauliflower wasn't crispy because it was at the very bottom and there were sauce on top of it but it's not bad. The chick pea fries, I think I like normal fries better. I mean it's not bad but I didn't really like that rough texture I guess I'm used the normal fries with crispy outside and a soft inside? It did look like normal fries but thicker in size.
I tried a tofu and some hummus from Shnitelonim. The tofu was very firm, it was really good with the hummus. I like the spices in that hummus.
The Spiked Limonana, when I smelled it, it had a very refreshing smell. When I took a sip, it tasted very fresh and minty. I couldn't really taste any vodka, which is good because I don't drink.
The Lumberjack Baklava, it was pretty sweet, I was ok with it because I can eat pretty sweet. The walnut ice cream was really good, it had a banana taste for some reason and it was interesting. The baklava, it was a pastry thing, it was interesting and very sweet. I'm not sure how to describe the flavour and texture, the inside has a bites and pieces texture? I like that warm and cold feeling from this dessert.
Overall, I really like the food, it was really good. Yes, I would come back again if someone drives me because I don't know how to get to that part of town.
