Editorial Review for Veggie Heaven – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Located on Guadalupe across from Dobie Mall, this intimate eatery hosts casual patrons in its 15-table dining room decorated with sparse pinewood walls, orange terracotta-tiled floors and a few vibrant paintings. At lunchtime, the space is bustling with local office workers and has a mellow evening crowd of families and students. The stocked menu features the Mount Fuji appetizer--tortilla wraps with avocado, veggies and cream cheese. The vegetable kebabs are marinated in a rich barbecue-flavored vegetarian sauce.

This place is certianly a dive, its extremeply packed and tiny. Staff are busy and fast! The menue is long, but it all seems to be variations on the same things. We ordered a steam bun, which was my first...and I loved it! It was doughy and delicious. I forgot the same of what I ordered but it had fried tofu, yam, and other veggies in a spicy sauce...which I ordered on the side (which came exactly as I ordered) It was a pretty simple dish, but good none the less. I've read that its dirty and what not, but If you are going to a tiny dive like this...you generally dont expect a sterile environment, to be honest. I didn't see anything abnormally dirty myself, however. I also got the brown rice, which had green things in it...lentils, i think. different, but good. Overall...i liked it and would go back.
Cons: crouded, don't come here to wine and dine, so to speak. get in...get out.

I have been here twice and have been craving it ever since! Very prompt service, but almost makes you feel rushed. Food is good, but can taste the same from entree to entree. One thing I like is that I feel healthy after leaving, not overly full and gluttonous. I reccomend this place for a quick, healthy lunch. Oh and did I mention that it's cheap too?? Nice!
Pros: Fast service, healthy food
Cons: Staff makes you feel rushed
