my first time at simply wholesome

by Yolanday at Citysearch

When I arrived at the location off of Slauson it was pretty tricky because being my first time there, I parked on the side of the building, it took me some time before I could figure out where the entrance was. Although, it looked like you would enter from Slauson, but you really don't, they should have signs that says enter in thru the rear/back. I went in to purchase some herbs, the aroma from the food was amazing, it fill the whole store, made me instantly hungry.

The restaurant was clean and attractive, very spacious and had a great patio. I ordered, pegeon peas and rice with grilled chicken and two patties. It stated that my approximate wait time would be 25min, but I got it in less than that. My bill was $22.

The food was hot, the appearance and portion size was good. The patties were tasty and flavorful.

Okay, when I open the tray it had macaroni and cheese that was tasty, ripe fried plantain was good, potato salad..oh no! straight up nonsense. The rice, no flavor, the grilled chicken was good and although I told the lady I did not want any marinara sauce on the food, it had the marinara on the chicken. It also had veggies;broccoli, zuchinni mix, was good.

I don't think I'll be visiting the restaurant again.

bold flavors, healthy and wholesome dishes, great patio

by LDonnell at Citysearch

This restaurant is amazing! Great patio. Great menu. I'd recommend sitting quickly to check out the menu before you order at the counter. Quick service. Great variety. Try the Jamaican spinach patty or shrimp tacos. Their salads are huge. The blackened tofu dish is very healthy, filling, and tasty! Their homemade fries are delicious but expect a 15m wait for them, as they are made upon order. Great bold flavors. Don't miss out on their smoothies. You'll want to return, and soon. Easy parking in the back. Best of all, it's affordable! Check it out asap.

  • Pros: everything on the menu is delicious, affordable, great patio
  • Cons: youll want to order everything

This restaurant is a gem. However, make sure you thoroughly check your take out orders. They regularly forget a meal.
