Local food made from white mill . Very delicious food so called maandazi in swahili language. Maandazi as a breakfast among many occupants in coastal regions including Tanga, Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam and Mombasa
Good food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Average prices
Best gluten free wrap I've ever had! I enjoyed a Bahn Mi for the first time in a really long time!
Wow! I wish we had a local foods where I live. As first time visitors, we sat to look over the menu before going up to place our order. We asked a server for a few menu suggestions (she was very helpful). Apparently, she shared with another teamber that we were new so another server stopped by to check on us and offer suggestions. I wanted to be more adventurous in my selections, but my husband is a bit more conservative. Everything sounded so yummy! We ended up ordering their chicken bowl to split and potato salad and tried a local root beer. Yum! They also threw in a cinnamon roll. The grain bowl was our favorite of the 3 foods. If you want a place to eat that doesn't leave you feeling sluggish and guilty for all the fat and grease, come here!The store, neighboring market, and bathrooms were clean. Unfortunately, we didn't have room to take anything from the market home with us. If we are ever back in Houston, we will be visiting again.
Visited for a late lunch, great sandwiches and fruit! 1st time to go there, would try it again.
I had the country chicken, red potato salad and the banana pudding. Everything was delicious and I will be returning
This is such a wonderful neighborhood staple. My family used to come to Benjy's right next door multiple times a year, which is owned by the same person and I believe the chef contributed to both as well.This company is committed to offering fresh, flavorful, creative food in large portions for pretty affordable prices. The lunch/dinner entrees are between $10-$15, though sometimes dinner or seasonal specials are a bit more. I usually get two meals, or a meal and a hearty snack out of it, though YMMV. I have eaten here as an omnivore, a vegetarian and a vegan and have never been disappointed. In fact I still adore many of their vegan entrees after having gone back to an omnivore. They also have great gluten free options and are careful with allergens and dietary preferences. They also offer rotating should, sides, and entrees, which can be sad when your favorite leave for the season but it's great knowing you're getting the best produce available.During the pandemic this location has also expanded and now offers many interesting local and specially grocery products, which is very exciting. They also offer great beer and wine selections!Finally, having worked here and at other local foods locations in the past I know they treat their employees very, very well from bottom to top. They source as much as they can from the Houston area or within Texas too. You can really feel the good vibes when you walk in.TL:DR If you want some creative, delicious salads and sandwiches, great plant-based options, a hip and fun atmosphere, and the knowledge that you're truly supporting local, come here. And then come ten more times so you can try everything on the menu!!! ?
delicious yet healthy options in a modern space with industrial lighting. the breakfast sandwich with red potato salad & cucumber vinaigrette was a deceptively filling dinner plate, i was stuffed after finishing only half the sandwich. we also ordered the turkey sandwich which was also yum. definitely will return to try other dishes!
We tried this place out an enjoyed the aspect of it, having local fresh selections to eat. There was even a little store next door that had great things to add to your house. I got the wagyu pastrami sandwich with cucumber salad and savory granola for a sweet kick. We thoroughly enjoyed are meals there and loved the atmosphere.
Great choice of vegan, local food. Fantastic service and both indoor and outdoor seating. Ambience
