They have an amazing variety of vegan food, which is great because there are so many delicious options to choose from. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, and the portions are very generous for the price. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, it really feels like home. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their dishes. Thank you for the wonderful food and excellent service! 🌱✨

All I want to say is WOW! We went there and had brunch. We took the omelet with cheese, the egg burger and the chocolate chip pancakes and everything was perfection! Can't believe everything was vegan. Very delicious!!

The lady who welcomed me was super friendly and helpful. She explained the menu to me and helped me decide what to have. The shwarma sandwich was superb! The “meat” was really good, sometimes I find vegan meats overpowering or with weird textures but this was perfect. The veggies in the wrap were crisp and fresh too!

Thank you so much Annais for this wonderful review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’re truly happy to hear that you felt welcomed and well guided through the menu — that means a lot to us 💚 It’s especially great to know that you loved the shawarma and that the texture and balance stood out for you. Creating plant-based “meat” that feels right, not overpowering, and truly satisfying is something we put a lot of heart into. Thank you as well for noticing the freshness of the veggies and for the perfect scores on cuisine, service, and ambiance 🙏 We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!

If you are vegan you might like this place but if, like us, you are the friends of a vegan person who suggested this place for dinner, and if you're used to traditional Syrian food with real meat and real flavours, you will find the food unappealing and a bit gross. No amount of "fake chicken" made with soy or mushroom can replace the taste and texture of real shish taouk. Otherwise the restaurant is ok, service is friendly if not a bit pushy at times (they will push you to order specific items on the menu that are on the pricy side, and they will push you to leave a review before leaving). It's also on the expensive side and not great value for your money (Middle Eastern food is typically known for its generous portions).

Hello Karim, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify a few points, as some information in your review is not accurate. First, we do not push guests to leave reviews. Your review was posted while we have been closed for vacation for the past two weeks, which makes that statement incorrect. Second, our restaurant is 100% vegan, and we fully understand that vegan food is not for everyone. You do not have to like our vegan shish taouk, and that is completely fine. If you are specifically looking for traditional meat-based Syrian food, then our concept may simply not be the right fit for you. You also mentioned that our shish taouk is made from soy. In fact, the main ingredient is shiitake mushrooms, not soy. We intentionally use high-quality ingredients, and premium vegan proteins such as shiitake mushrooms are significantly more expensive — often up to three times the cost of conventional meat. This reflects both quality and sourcing, not compromise. Regarding pricing, the vegan shish taouk plate is actually one of the least expensive items on our menu, not the most expensive. Our team may recommend dishes because many guests ask for guidance and trust us to suggest what best represents our cuisine. There is never any obligation, and guests are always free to choose. We respect different tastes and opinions, but accuracy matters. Based on your expectations, our restaurant may simply not be the right place for you — and that’s okay. We wish you all the best. — The Management

The food was amazing and arrived quickly. The location had great parking and big windows that look into the street. Their drinks are so fresh and pressed on site. The service was also fabulous.

The brunch was delicious, and our server was very nice & friendly! My only complaint would be the portion size for the price charged. My friend & I were still a bit hungry after the omelette, so we split the chocolate banana pancakes as a dessert (good size portion). Then we were stuffed for the day! Could be better to have 2 omelettes on a plate (since legumes aren’t super calorie-dense) or salad that takes up 1/2 the plate instead of a 1/4, & then have a separate bowl for tater totes (which were also delicious). LOVE the flavours — just wish it was more affordable so I could visit regularly :) Also super grateful you’re open for brunch till 4 PM on weekdays. The music was fun too! Thank you 💚
