Incredible food - Edit
We were there on a Friday, so we got two create your own platters with a pasta, cauli wings, and red beans. The sweet heat cauliflower was honestly a religious experience, we’ve never had anything like it. We had the green goodness and strawberry lemonade juices too which were really good. The portions were pretty big and it was a rainy day, otherwise we’d have gotten icecream to take with us as we walked into town - there were 6 or 7 different flavours, and they all looked fab
Read morePros: Sweet heat cauliflower, Pasta, Customer service was great

So good! Must try soul food - Edit
This was our best experience of soul food in Nola. Everything from the buffet was great and even the juices were super fresh and tasty. Just wish they would offer reusable plates for dining in, so much wasted plastic😒

Sweet SoulFood: A Vegan Southern Delight That Leaves a Lasting Impression - Edit
My friends and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sweet SoulFood, a vegan restaurant that left us utterly impressed. I opted for the "pick 3" option, but the food was so incredible that I couldn't resist ordering another "pick 3" to go.
Read moreI ordered the shepherd's pie, greens, and beans and rice. The shepherd's pie quickly became my favorite, followed closely by the perfectly seasoned beans and rice. To accompany these delights, I had a side of cornbread, which, I must say, was the best cornbread I've ever had. To top off this exceptional meal, I indulged in some delectable banana pudding ice cream.
The portion sizes were fair, but if you're like me and want to savor more of their offerings, I'd highly recommend going for the "pick 4" option. Sweet SoulFood truly allows us vegans to enjoy the flavors of southern home cooking.
While there might not be table service, the staff at Sweet SoulFood are some of the sweetest and nicest folks you'll come across. This place not only pleased me but also delighted my non-vegan friends. I wholeheartedly recommend giving Sweet SoulFood a try – it's a culinary experience that will leave you wanting to return for more.
Pros: 100% vegan, Food is reasonable and DELICIOUS , Southern hospitality at its best

We shared a generous portion of a four piece platter. We picked the creole curry, orange cauli, mac n cheese, and collard greens. Everything was absolutely amazing! We loved all of it.

OMG - Edit
Ok. This is probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Delicious! Do wish their hours were more “normal” not sure who has dinner before 5 🤣
Read moreIf you can make their hours, it’s totally worth it. If anyone from the restaurant reads these - please change your hours. Would be great if you were open for dinner.
Pros: Delicious , Affordable
Cons: Hours are abysmally horrible

Delicious vegan soul food - Edit
Basically sweet soul food is one of the best, inexpensive vegan meals I’ve had. And considering there was a total of 4 vegan food spots (2 being the same brand) in the French quarter area you don’t have much choice.
Read moreBut the meal was delightful. Super tasty, lots of different options and portion sizes. The team are super friendly and helpful with making choices.
Left fully stuffed and would definitely go back again.
Pros: Wide variety of options, Super helpful staff, Very reasonably priced

3.5 stars…keep reading - Edit
The last time I was in New Orleans was earlier this year during Mardi Gras. I attempted to grab lunch before we got on the road but they were sold out early so I missed my opportunity. Fortunately I was able to give them a try this time around.
Read moreI went early this time, about an 1.5 after they opened and the place was steady but not too busy. It reminded me of a vegan Piccadilly or a meat and three for my Nashvillians. Here’s what I ate and my humble opinion on all of it:
Cashew Mac: it was too sweet for my liking so I didn’t end up eating much of it. 2/5
Greens: I’m a girl from the MS delta and I love my greens. These were a mix of collards and cabbage. They were also too sweet and not at all savory or smoky so I didn’t eat these either 2/5
Red Beans & Rice: these were pretty good. Not the best I’ve had but I ate every bite and my wife enjoyed them as well. 3/5
Sweet Heat Cauliflower: these were hands down one of the best items I tried. The cauliflower was perfectly seasoned and fried and the sauce lived up to its name. I’d get these again and again. 5/5
Philly Pasta: I’m somewhat indifferent on this one. It was too sweet, you could tell there was a coconut milk base, but also savory with an underlying seafood flavor. I enjoyed it but we didn’t finish or save it. 3/5
Chickpea Cakes: I wasn’t a fan of these and don’t have to have them again. They tasted fine, just not my thing. Maybe it was the texture. 2.5/5
Bread Pudding: absolutely delicious and fantastic and truly some of the best bread pudding in NOLA, hands down! My wife is a NOLA native and she raved about it. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to have it again. 5/5
All in all, without the cauliflower and bread pudding it would have been a subpar meal but those selections upped the ante and made the experience a lot more enjoyable!
Pros: Affordable , No wait once you order , Lots of options that change based on the day

Speechless - Edit
This place is outstanding! I ordered the pick 4 with the cashew mac and then asked them to choose their favorite 3 other dishes. They chose the greens, dirty rice, and bbq cauliflower. At the register I added on a soursop ginger drink and an impulse bread pudding. Couldn’t finish it all, so I took it back to my hotel. Don’t miss this spot when you’re in New Orleans!

Worth every positive review - Edit
Place is top notch. I walked here from the French Quarter. Took about 35 minutes. Was worth every step. They truly deserve all the positive reviews. Fantastic food! The "Pick 4" will probably feed me twice today but I wanted to try as much as I could. If they had a "Pick 12" I would have. 😂😂😂
