EAT HERE

Very well-done vegan diner/comfort food. We had the jalapeño smash burger, chicky sando, and fries. The meal was delicious, very hearty, and good value. Corey was behind the bar and we really enjoyed talking with him. Super cool neighborhood as well - lots of other bars, shops, and cafes. We will definitely be back!

Heads up - the kitchen is vegan but the bar is not entirely vegan (though the bartender was knowledgeable of this).

Kick’n Chik’n: scrumptious lunch

Loved the flavor and texture of the chik’n, and the sauce - yum!! And it came out in a matter of minutes. Also had a delish hot strawberry matcha, and got mac & chz to go - yummy thick spiral pasta w creamy chz sauce. Bartender guy was so friendly. 10 min from SDF.

Very good vegan diner food!

My husband and I both enjoyed the classic burger and fries. Our exchange daughter gave a chef’s kiss to the cookies and cream milkshake.

Great plant-based restaurant with comfort classics

I ordered a Loaded Stack and had a bunch of the Chicken & Waffle Sando, both hit the spot and were packed with flavor and texture. With food like that, I had to have a shake as well - the best vegan one I've had to date. My only minor complaint is that the restaurant (perhaps intentionally) didn't call out that absolutely everything is plant-based.

Closed?

It’s Wednesday 20 mins to 1 and online orders are closed and noones answering the phone… are they open anymore? Was traveling thru the state and we got excited for a place that’s radio silent. Won’t get off the highway to check sorry.

Amazing!!

This totally blew me out of the water! The mango habanero wings, to die for. The fries and tots- extra crispy. The burger, unbelievable! I can’t wait to come back for brunch / breakfast.

Amazing!!! Must visit this place.

Cute building, large menu, absolutely delicious food at reasonable prices, super friendly staff, lots of parking. I had a breakfast sandwich and my hub had a burger. Good toppings and yummy sauce for crispy fries. The tater tots with tofu and a sauce were soooooo good. The milkshake was finished in about a minute.

Pros: Food was delicious , Nice sized portions, reasonable prices, Friendly staff

Cons: I was so full I rolled out of there!

Top Notch Vegan Junk in Louisville

What a joy to have Shahar back and better than ever. Since moving and reopening, Shahar has expanded everything that made them great.

Shahar has a larger seating area now, with bar and liquor for those inclined. However, the highlight of this restaurant for me has always been the food. Focusing on bringing standard American food vegan, it won’t be your healthiest stop, but if will be your heartiest.

I ordered the vegan chicken waffle sandwich that flew past expectations. The waffle was akin to a portable Liege waffle that brought hat extra sweet and ease to some flaky seitan goodness.

Every time I am in town, I always prioritize visiting Shahar (at least once). If you are vegan or vegan-adjacent I implore you to visit Shahar and have a sloppy good time.

Pros: Entirely vegan, Delicious, Friendly service

Best Burger Ever

I had the O Burger and Cookies and Cream Milk Shake. I have always argued that the best tasting food is the messiest food. This Burger proved me right. This is a vegan bar with comfort food. If you are looking for healthy whole foods, don't be silly and come here to complain. This is not the place for you. BUT, if you are looking for a perfectly sinful mouth-gasm that makes you feel like you may never need to eat again, go here.

Great flavors. Need allergen info.

LOVE that this is all plant-based, no worries about meat or dairy. However, it would be helpful if the menu indicated foods that contain common allergens, especially soy, as most of the meats are soy based.

THE BEST BURGERS

No other burger is close to as good as Shahar’s! Even my non-vegan friends have said it’s the best burger they have ever had. It’s the gold standard for vegan junk food. Their new location is super fun, they now have a bar, and have comedy shows once a month! Owners are super friendly. Happy to have such a wonderful vegan business in Lou!

Pros: Food 🤤, Friendly owners, Community events

You better sha-hare with me

Partner and I ordered a little too much because everything sounded so good. The fully loaded bagel sandwich was really delicious, everything you'd want in a breakfast sandwich with good balance of sauce and textures. The chicky sando - also good but could have had some fresh stuff on it like lettuce/tomato and less breading maybe. It was kind of too crunchy/dry (same issue with the wings). Tots were delicious and crispy but unnecessary with such a heavy meal. Strawberry matcha drink was sweet and tasty, just a little pricey

I had the Chicky Sando HOT

I was very impressed with the menu and ambiance of the place. My Sandwich was delish, and I expect to revisit it before leaving the Louisville area. I loved that they had coffee, Cocktails, and 100% Vegan food in one place. You must visit if you're looking for something plant-based in the area!

THEY'RE BACK, BABY!!!

I'm so happy that Shahar made a comeback and their food is better than ever! They have the perfect sloppy burgers and fries that hit the spot. Even my non-vegan family members have said this is their new favorite restaurant and that the chicken sandwich is perfection.

Pros: Amazing food, Friendly Staff, Chill vibes
