There is a very wide variety of vegetarian food. And the served portions are very generous. We had to take home a complete entree. Good meal; novelty flavors.

I cannot say enough about the incredible hospitality provided by Valerie, Carlos, and Alek. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family, and their attention to detail made our dining experience unforgettable. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, from personalized recommendations to their genuine warmth and care. The food was absolutely delicious, but it was their exceptional service that truly stood out. They are the kind of hosts who make you want to come back again and again. Thank you, Valerie, Carlos, and Alek, for such a memorable experience. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who values amazing food paired with impeccable service!
