I've never had vegan food before but a friend and I decided we'd venture out and check out Rawlicious.
The atmosphere was light and inviting. There was a man (with a pretty sweet accent) who greeted us immediately upon entering. We sat down right in front of the kitchen so we could get a better view of what goes on in there.
He gave us two menus and came back 2-3 minutes later asking if we had any questions. Points for that considering we were pretty lost. My friend has peanut allergies and our waiter took extra care in explaining what nuts were in what and what she could have that they would be able to omit nuts from. We decided to order the Tropical Green smoothie and the Strawberry milkshake. We also ordered the nachos to share.
The food was prepped by a young woman and the waiter made our smoothies. We received our drinks and food about 8 minutes after we placed our order.
The Food:
The smoothies were delicious. Only downside was that they were pretty room temperature. Not sure if that's normal but it was still delicious.
The nachos came with sour cream (friend did not eat this since our waiter said it had nuts in it), salsa and guacamole. The three dips were really good. The nachos were interesting. The taste kind of reminded me of South Indian dosas, except baked. Kind of odd, right?
Pricing is not the cheapest but worth a lunch out here and there. The atmosphere was again, really nice and inviting and the staff were super friendly. Regulars walked in and out throughout our meal and they all seemed to have a pleasant relationship with the staff at Rawlicious.
Although I don't suspect I'll be turning complete vegan anytime soon, I'm definitely looking forward to going back and checking out other things on their menu.
