Friendly to meat eaters and vegans alike! Also lots of gluten free options. We had 4 adults and 2 kids and had a great experience. Friendly quick service. All of our dishes were spectacular. The hummus is amazing!
Excellent! Im plantbased and my husband is an animalbased. It can be difficult to find a place where we can both enjoy the food. This checked off all the boxes. Theres a good selection for him grassfed meats and me vegan entrees ...
I got a gyro here once and it felt like I was making out with the most beautiful Greek boy ever born in east Baltimore. The I had some hummus that tasted like Anatolia had blended its bounty and poured it in my mouth. Plus I was really hungover and it cured me really fast!
Had the samosa wrap and it was incredibly delicious. The fresh vegetables were very well balanced with the crunchy, savory samosas. I wish I lived closer, because I could imagine stopping in for one of those often.
Been coming here for years and it still never disappoints! Love it so much! Best falafel Ive ever had in my falafel life. Best ingredients! Authentic! Baklava is my absolute fav vegan one. I cook a lot at home but this is always my eat out option!
First Time here. WOW! Really tasty food. Falafel was cooked perfectly. Basmati rice with a little raisin. Yummy! Friendly staff. Chill vibes. We are definitely coming back.
My second time eating at this restaurant and definitely a pleasure I ordered the Lamb Tikka Masala, with rice and hummus. Everything was fresh and I enjoy the paper sustainable packaging for togo orders as well. For dessert...their pistachio andthe walnut baklava be hitting too will definitely be back! ...
The samosa chaat salad was beautiful to look at, and tasted even better. The samosas themselves were probably the best Ive had anywhere. The samosas at Umami are somehow lighter, more croissantlike layers than the deepfried lumps Ive ...
