| - My friend waxed poetics about Planta for months.
My sister wanted to have a sister date with me but wanted to keep it light because her honeymoon is coming up, so we came here for dinner one night.
We tried:
Charcoal Sour
Peach Don't Kill My Vibe
Frenchie Pizza
Habibi Salad
Sinful Chocolate Brownie
We made reservations and when we walked in at 8:30pm, Planta was still popping. So popping in fact, it took nearly 20 minutes to flag down a waiter to take our order.
Thankfully, within that 20 minutes, we had put enough thought into our order.
The Food:
The Habibi Salad was amazing. Crunchy, light, and the tahini added the perfect touch without being overpowering. Too back it came with 5 falafels. If it only came with an even number of falafels.
Frenchie Flatbread: one of the best pizzas I've tried. I was in love with the cashew mozzarella, which tasted more like a creamy sauce. I didn't miss the cheese at all.
The Drinks:
Charcoal Sour: I loved the foam they achieve on top even though it wasn't made with egg white. Quite admirable on their behalf.
Peach don't kill my vibe: I live for rose flavoured drinks and this one was light and fizzy. I loved how the rim was decorated with roses. So cute and tasty!
Sinful Chocolate Brownie:
One of the best brownie desserts I've ever had. It was so rich and chocolatey. The portion was huge and definitely meant for sharing.
The only downfall was the coconut oil in the chocolate syrup so I scraped it off due to personal preference. Other than that, the coconut whip worked well to add a balance and lightness to the brownie, which was somehow the perfect balance of cakey and fudgey.
Note: The waitress we had, after we flagged her down was super sweet and helped up decide on some items. The food also came really quickly relative to how busy it was.
