| - I absolutely love this place! It is a small house in the middle of the Roosevelt art district downtown PHX - Roosevelt Row. Very homie and for the lover of arts.
Since my guy and I are vegan, my sister bought us groupons for Christmas (after she found that the entire menu is vegan!) so we went all out. We had plenty of time on the beautiful NYE 2013 afternoon to enjoy the sun and perfect temperature in the EZ AZ!
We walked in and were treated by a really sweet smile from the only person in the home. It was really like we walked into her personal kitchen! We sat down (at one of the few tables inside the house) to look at the menu. We finally made our decisions after a couple other families ordered before us. As I mentioned, she was the only one working at the time. And like I also said earlier, we had PLENTY of time to take for ourselves today so we were in no rush! Our order took quite a while to come out, but I can not tell you how long only because I was not worried about time. We were loving the glorious day, reading and observing the neighborhood. (Outside there are about 5 tables to sit and enjoy your meal).
Our experience at Aside of Heart was more like a 4 course lunch!! It was great! The sweet woman brought out our smoothies first. I ordered the Deep Purple (dark cherries, cocao powder, thai tea, and almond milk) and my lovey dovey ordered the PichuCherry (pichuberries, cherries, coconut water). Both completely satisfying. More time went by and the woman's partner arrived. He brought out the miso soups promptly. This guy was so polite and friendly. The miso soup was very simple but a better miso than I have had at some Japanese restaurants. Ya know how some misos you encounter can be super salty?? Nope not this one. Brothy with some greens. You can add organic sprouted tofu if desired. And then some more time went by when he brought out the jackfruit taco plates! Oh my!! Freaking perfecto! Again, the ingredients were few but blend perfectly together. Tender jackfruit with cabbage salad and a spicy sauce layered on little tortillas. When we were finished we walked inside to pay and of course, to order desserts! Chocolate brownie and little heart shaped, gooey, nutty, date/fig bites. My favorite way to end a date filled with yummy food and love!
The entire meal was so simple yet filling without making you feel bloated and heavy.
Aside of Heart is an affordable, local, hip, small restaurant full of positive energy, live music, open mics, art exhibits/gallery, and love! It's also open late in the heart of Roosevelt Row! Perfect place to relax and enjoy some amazing, HEALTHY food made from the heart.
I do not believe that orders take as long as they did for us in most occasions. But if it is normal, people that are impatient or are on a tight schedule should be prepared to just take a moment to relax and breathe! I promise your food will always be a bit tastier with time :)
Thank you Amanda and Nathaniel! Keep up the fantastic work!
