| - I've been eyeing this place for a while but I don't have too many friends in the raw/vegan scene so haven't heard much about it. I finally decided to end my curiosity and came here for dinner on new year's. As we pulled up to the restaurant my boyfriend asked "where are we?," I replied "Raw aura! A vegan and wheat, dairy and meat free restaurant," excitedly. Trying to hold back a frown he pleaded "Britany, I'm really hungry!" I couldn't help but laugh- but he was a good sport and entertained my request to try something new.
For starters we ordered the nachos, Caesar salad and Thank you Berry Much smoothie. The Caesar tasted like a traditional Caesar salad even though it was vegan. The Berry smoothie was impressive! All smoothies are made with hemp milk and sweetened with dates. They are thick, sweet and delicious! Definitely dropping by on those hot summer days for one of these bad boys. The nachos are honestly what blew me away. Described on the menu as: Crispy corn chips served with guacamole, cashew sour cream, fresh tomato salsa and walnut taco meat. I could not believe they could bang out so much flavor from fruits, veggies and nuts. These were so delicious I would choose them over regular beef nachos any day. The only this is the crispy corn chips really get stuck in your teeth, it's a texture if never had before but good nonetheless.
For our main entrée I ordered the sweet and sour noodles and my boyfriend ordered the pasta Bolognese. I did not like the sweet and sour noodles. The flavor combination just wasn't for me. It wasn't disgusting or anything like that. Just very bland and not memorable. I kept eating off my boyfriend's plate and I could tell he was getting annoyed because he really enjoyed the pasta Bolognese so I decided to order another one and pack up the sweet and sour noodles to go. The pasta Bolognese is described on the menu as : Zucchini noodles tossed in a rich house made tomato red pepper basil marinara sauce, sunflower seed and sun dried tomato sausage, topped with almond parmesan. I loved tasting the layers of different flavours and the different textures. Keep in mind everything is served at room temperature because it is RAW hence the name raw aura.
Overall I was just so impressed that I couldn't leave without ordering dessert even though I had nowhere to put it. If you are a chocolate lover I would recommend trying one of their chocolate desserts because they looked so rich and creamy. I don't like chocolate so I went for the berry cheesecake. I don't want to use the word amazing but it was AMAZING. Being lactose intolerant it felt like Christmas devouring this cake know that there will be no repercussions at the end of the night. I will definitely be coming to raw aura in the near future!
