| - Let's start with the good: the menu. It is HUGE. HUUUUUGE. There are a ton of awesome items on it.
This place was extremely hyped up prior to opening, largely in thanks to the local vegans website, "Vegans, Baby."
Now, on to the "meh" / bad.
I stayed away for quite a few weeks because of the owner's behavior on social media. I saw multiple instances where she was being incredibly rude to potential customers, including arguing on her business page regarding the "right" way to create a menu item. It really disgusted me and made me not want to become a patron. However, I did come to try it out.
Starting with location: it's close to UNLV, which is great for vegan students, but in a very unsavory part of town. The windows are completely blacked out from the outside as well, which makes you wonder if they're even open. After parking and taking our valuables with us (haha) we went inside. The hostess was on her phone, which was a bit of a turnoff - I completely understand boredom at work, but at least fold silverware or something.
The interior itself is pretty nice and looks like it'd be cool for brunch/happy hour (if they had that; they're only open until 6pm at present).
They have bumping club/rap music which also confused me - if they were open late I'd get it, but during lunchtime it created an odd ambiance.
The waitstaff seemed generally under-trained and very confused when taking orders. One of the food runners had to be asked four times for hot sauce; he continuously brought us ranch and ketchup until we gave up and waited for our waitress to return. I think the waitstaff has potential to be good, they just need A LOT more practice.
Two of us ordered a gyro, the other three ordered various salads. The portions here are HUGE and honestly could feed two people per entree. I would highly advise they size down their menu items and decrease price as it's just not realistic.
As far as the gyro, it was good, but not great. It was thick, fluffy bread as large as my face - which really made me wonder whether the owners had ever had a real gyro. The massive side of the bread made it really hard to enjoy the interior, which essentially fell everywhere and couldn't be contained by this half of a bread loaf.
The salads were all pretty good, no complaints there.
Payment also took some time as the waitress seemed confused as to how to use her portable POS machine.
Overall I'm glad I went, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. I hope that they will begin to offer carry out or Postmates/Uber Eats as I'd prefer that over eating in.
