GOOGLE REVIEW – 4.5/5 stars
A couple of fans reviewed as follows..
District Yatta – “Such an amazing environment with great vegan food. I haven’t had much vegan food but, if it tastes as amazing as the Warrior Sandwich I just had here! Definitely one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in my life. I’m on board. Phenomenal food, great atmosphere, live music and DJs! This place is indeed special! I will be back here”
The One WillFocus – “So first, let me say, the atmosphere was EXACTLY as it should be. The graffiti, images, overall lighting and music were on point. Great job. The bathrooms were spotless and smelled well and I find it rare in various restaurants that bathrooms are that well kept. Second… Our server Gigi was super welcoming, great personality, and made sure to make our experience there memorable. She was so great in fact that it was our first indicator that we should and WILL return.
Third… The food… That was amazing and the fact that my wife is a super particular eater and enjoyed two dishes presented says a lot. The food was presented well, smelled great, and tasted even better. Hats off to the chef. The CnW with the Ice cream was too notch and will be my go to going forward. They outside themselves. Really beautiful everything 10/10. Parking: Mainly street parking and free after 7 otherwise paid through meter”
For our new members: this is an incredibly friendly and welcoming group. We are a FUN group. Join us for a stellar evening of lively conversations and great food with fellow vegetarians and vegans.
Everyone pays for themselves. And Urban Vegan Roots takes major credit cards. Easy!
