"This is my first visit. I've been vegan since George W. Bush's first term and I've been to dozens of vegan restaurants from holes in the wall to fine dining. I just moved to Lawrence a few days ago and realized I lived two blocks from a vegan restaurant. I walked to it today in single digit temperatures and was not disappointed.Food: I had the Medley Bowl. It greeted my pallet with delicate spinach greens that made my heart rise in my chest, jalapenos cooked just enough to be soft yet crunchy, caramelized cashews and onions laid on top of a bed of Spanish rice then topped with a sweet chili sauce.People: The woman working the counter greeted me promptly with a masked smile, she was calm, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and helpful.Space: There are two levels which I didn't notice at first. Upstairs seems really cozy and there was what appeared to be traveling art on the wall. If you look in from the street and it doesn't look like there is seating, look up, dine in.Value: The portion was a perfect meal size for me, and I'm not a small man. It was quite affordable. Great value.Con: I'm not crazy about plastic to-go containers and bags. Had I known about that and taken the time to look upstairs I would have definitely eaten in. I will reuse this one as much as I can before it goes into the waste stream. It is possible that quality compostable takeout containers are simply not available in the local market and if that's the case please disregard. If you can, please consider switching to something less environmentally permanent."
