One of the best vegan restaurants in the whole city hands down. Actually there’s only one other than this one that I would recommend. No, not Sweet Soul Food, hair and other foreign particles were found in that food. This is your spot right here, no worries here.

Original Thought NOLA is a 10 of 10! Good energy and good food. This place reminds me of home. I got the moss tea (which had extra ginger, just the way i like it!) with the chickpea wrap. Both were great! I was a little worried about the nachos because, "vegan cheese" but it taste cashew based and was really good. I will definitely be back.

I ordered the BBQ Jackfruit Pulled Burger, it came with Nachos. Y’all it was so freaking good and flavorful. I was being impressed, as I was on the phone I just kept bragging about how good it was. You wouldn’t even know it was jackfruit. So tasty. My lil picture won’t do it justice. But I do plan on going back to try it again or some other stuff. The side of nachos they give you, those were delicious as well.

I absolutely love this place. They have the best vegan Nachos! I had consulted the owner on what herbs I should be taking because I was looking to improve my health. He truly helped me out. The Sea Moss they have is the best I have consumed, feel fully nourished after taking it, very little appetite! Great sweet potato pie too. The entire family that owns this store is a blessing to New Orleans. Knowledgeable, warm, great conversation. The store also has a lovely ambience to it. Well designed. You won't be disappointed.

-quesadilla - 10/10 -Sweet potato pie - 10/10 -gumbo quinoa- 9.5/10 excellent, only note is it was maybe a bit saltier than needed to be. Would also be great to see them use something other than the plastic containers for the gumbo in the future! Wish I lived nearby, I would come to this place all the time
