| - I'm writing this review as I'm suffering from mild food poisoning from lunch at Urban Herbivore.
I was really excited to see such a healthy, honest, and ethical restaurant within the mall, so I knew I had to try it out. The menu was quite diverse with salads, soups, and protein-rich sandwiches. I ended up choosing the Tuesday combo special (spinach salad with mushrooms, quinoa, lentils, tempeh, peas, carrots and a a sandwich of what should have been avocado and tempeh). The total cost surprised me at only $11.30, because such healthy food was being offered at truly competitive prices.
The portion of the meal was huge, and I couldn't finish more than a few bites of the salad after having finished the sandwich. However, I did notice the sandwich only had avocado and alfalfa sprout in it, and no tempeh. The salad, as good as it looked, didn't actually taste very good in my honest opinion. The tempeh was just gross and the carrots were horribly salty. I could only down the peas an quinoa.
Minutes after finishing my meal, I felt the sudden urge to puke. A few hours later, I am still in pain from the food from this joint. I'm not quite sure why, but something hasn't settled well in my stomach. Not sure if I will try this again due to this experience, but three stars for the price, variety, concept, freshness, and portion size!
