For those who know me, you know that I have flirted with vegetarianism, but I'm a meat and potatoes guy at heart, so I really doubt it'll ever happen. Still, from time to time, I have no problem eating vegetarian meals. So today when two friends of mine invited me to walk to the unique cafe just east of Normandie, I had no problem walking with them. On the bus going to church (bus 38 woot woot) I often pass Vegisoul, and have always wanted to go experience the unique fusion. Though I have noticed that though the main clientele seems to be fellow Nubians:-), I have also noticed droves of white hipster kids and asians at the restaurant.
I really enjoyed my meal at the restaurant! It consisted of bbq chik'un, rice, beans, greens, and cornbread, but it wasn't "heavy" or super greasy at all. The prices are comparable to that of Roscoe's (or maybe that's just all LA restaurants), but I think it's worth it. Beware though, a friend of mine ordered food worth $10 and only got a half-filled styrofoam container of food. But friend #2 and I were WELL fed...and friend #2 couldn't finish and brought home leftovers.
The place is clean (it has an "A"), the workers are very friendly, the music is tight, and you can sit outside if you like. I really like the fact that though the food is vegetarian it hasn't lost its "soul" and I did not feel robbed of that "something" that makes soul food what it is. I don't know Roscoes, you may have a rival?!?!?!?! All I know is...I will be back!
