| - Vegan or not, B52 is a must try! I dragged my steak-loving friend here for lunch and he was surprisingly in love with the food. It was my first visit and needless to say, I think I'm already obsessed. Definitely one of the best vegan restaurants I've been to in Pittsburgh.
I stopped in during the lunch rush. With the small space and limited seating, we would have had a bit of wait, but luckily, there were open spots at the bar. Service was fantastic from start to finish. We were promptly greeted by our waitress who was friendly and helpful throughout the meal - amazing all around!
The menu takes middle eastern cuisine and gives it a unique flare. Some items and combos may sound a bit odd, but they surprisingly work. I ordered the koftka tofu scramble which came with wilted kale, eggs, and a seitan/tofu mix. Highly recommend! Not only was it delicious but the portion was huge so you're sure to be satisfied afterwards. The seitan/tofu had the consistency of ground beef and was seasoned very well but not too overpowering. To satisfy my sweet tooth, I had the almond cashew yogurt which was essentially a yogurt parfait. Simple but still delicious.
Although vegan food has a bad reputation, B52 definitely raises the bar. This is a great lunch or dinner option for vegans and even non-vegans. If I could come here for every meal, I would be the happiest veghead on the planet.
