Perfect place for food lovers with vegetarian/ vegan/ gluten sensitive friends. I am a meat lover and this is by far the best vegetarian/ vegan restaurant. I loved their kale chips (I love kale too), carrot cake, and my mushroom special was perfect. Leftovers heated up nicely too. Easy to find parking on street. Wait staff were so helpful.

We came here for brunch one weekend and we were blown away. Everything was delicious and came with great portion sizes. Definitely a place to check out if you’re looking for a great vegan breakfast option!

Ate a delicious brunch here – as a table we ordered nachos, omelette, tofu scramble, Huevos rancheros, potatoes all cooked to perfection. Tasty even for our non vegetarian friend. And the iced tea was also great! Hope to come back soon.

Went with a group of pals from work. Two of us got the shepherds pie and it was delicious. I love when I can order something unique that I don’t know how to make or make well myself. Nice selection of IPAs, as well. Great vegan options.

Red Lentil catered our fully vegan wedding, outdoors, for 130 people, and it was a huge success!! They provided a wonderful buffet (apps, salads, dinner, and dessert + wedding cake) and bar service. Pankaj, the owner, was a true delight to work with. He was calm and responsive throughout the whole planning process. We could tell he was a pro at this stuff. The food was incredible! They ordered and served all the beverages we had on our wish list for the bar (we had wines, craft beers, ciders, and n/a options)! Our guests raved about how delicious everything was and how full they were by the end of the night. We HIGHLY recommend their catering service!
We also love going to their restaurant. The food is creative, exciting, and delicious! It’s such a treat to be able to order virtually anything off the menu and have it be made vegan – you don’t get to experience that very often! The staff is very friendly, warm, and attentive. Let this be your sign to go visit and have a yummy meal!
Special shout out to Pankaj and Ata. You can tell they are passionate about their work by the way they go above and beyond to make their customers happy. Keep up the great work!”
