What People Are Saying About Soul Vegetarian East

In Short – This gathering spot is popular with students of African culture and steadfast fans of meat-alternative and non-dairy dishes. Wholesome brown lentil soup or fried tofu sticks with vegan tartar sauce are solid starters; the Garvey is a filling wheat gluten veggie-burger, and the (gluten) barbecue roast sandwich just might outdo the real thing. Daily specials like Salisbury "steak," salads with homemade dressing, and desserts like spice cake and peach pie round out the menu.

BEST VEGETARIAN FOOD AROUND!

I love this restaurant! I drive all the way from Detroit to go here. The best pulled "pork" sandwich I've ever had.
- Pros: Great food! WOW!

The worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. It took us two hours to eat at 2pm when there were only two other tables eating. We waited 35 minutes for our server to take our order and 45 minutes to get our food once we ordered. 15-20 minutes to get our bill after we were done. Our appetizer came out after our other food. Twice we were belittlingly shewed away by employees when we asked once for our server and once for our food after waiting patiently for a very generous time. Not only did they not help us when we asked, but one of them literally waved us off. Three tables that came in after us ordered, ate, and left before we got our food. When we told our server this, he didn't seem to care. He didn't apologize, or offer to make it up to us in any way. In my opinion a business that treats its customers so poorly shouldn't be in business.
On top of that, the food was mediocre at best. Deep fried vegetables are hard to mess up. The split pea soup was watery and the cornbread was hard.. The strawberry heaven drink was tasty but hardly worth a drive from the downtown and being treated so poorly.
I love food, am easily wooed by great soul food, and can almost always find something redeeming about a restaurant, but I couldn't believe how bad this restaurant was. I was so excited to try it after reading all the reviews here, but it failed to meet any expectations. If you believe in supporting restaurants that value and respect their customers DON'T GO HERE.
