Haleigh Newbeck

Absolutely, 1,000% delicious!!!! We had THE hardest time deciding what to eat. They had so many gluten free options, we were so impressed. Most vegan restaurants don’t have very many gluten free options besides salad or a wrap. We loved everything, left stuffed, with leftovers. PLEASE TRUST ME- you won’t regret eating here.

Gabriela Alberola

Lovely, cozy vegan restaurant. I had the Mac plate: mac and cheese, creole greens, BBQ cauliflower wings, and corn bread. I also tried the Berry Drizzle cake and the chocolate chip cookie. Loved everything. The most perfect vegan comfort food in New Orleans.

Flo Elkins

This is my 2nd time eating at this restaurant. The food was delicious. The Raw Walnut tacos were very light but tasty. The Mac and cheese platter was extremely good although I just had a taste of each item. The fried oyster mushrooms were great as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Alena B

I really like the environment here. The ambiance is so welcoming. The staff are EXTREMELY a helpful & kind. The food feels like home cooking. The art is exquisite. They always have great music playing. Smooth vibes all around. Love it here!

Lovely Lacey

Fantastic place to get good vegan options. The workers are friendly and helpful. The restaurant is Black-owned and the food is delicious. Had the RA Pasta and the mushrooms were sautéed to perfection and I loved the creamy consistency- couldn’t believe it was vegan! I try to go at least twice a month since they are only open on weekends.

Jillian Suleski

Delicious! We’re two vegans from Seattle, and I’m so glad we got a chance to come here — the food was sooo good! We had a hard time choosing, but you really can’t go wrong. We loved everything we had. The crab-less cakes and ribs were highlights for sure. Next time, I want to try the gumbo and the black-eyed peas.

Janie Coon

We absolutely LOVED our experience here! It was such a warm and welcoming environment with amazing food. We had the pancake platter and the lemon pepper oyster mushroom po boy. Very delicious and filling. Their menu is diverse and very well priced. Also very cute inside!

Manisha Thuparani

I am so glad to have found I-tal during my New Orleans trip! I always look for places that make vegetarian versions of local dishes and food is such a huge part of the culture to explore on trips! I ordered the platter with chickpea/artichoke crab cakes, jambalaya, black eyed bean curry, mac and cheese, corn bread. My partner ordered sweet potato quinoa nourishment bowl and rosemary potatoes on the side. We enjoyed every single dish on our plates and finished it all! Would definitely come back!! Thank you for making New Orleans food accessible to people with dietary restrictions

Shapell

I really enjoyed this food. I got the RA pasta, gumbo and hibiscus tea! My only issue was the cashier. She seem to have an attitude and I believe it was from the person she was talking on the phone with while I was at the register. Also, I wish you all were open earlier in the week as well. I’m on vacation and I wanted to eat here again Monday but was quickly humbled 😹. Other than that the food was THEBOMB.COM!! Thanks from Georgia 💯 ***Update: 3 months later same person same experience. Amazing food though! This time I tried lemon pepper wrap and it was delicious 😋

Donald

Cool spot that’s clean and surprisingly fast service which I rarely get at 100% vegan spots. I went with two proteins and three sides. BBQ Jackfruit and Oysters with my sides being Greens, Jambalaya and Mac. The two I REALLY enjoyed were the vegan Oysters and Mac. Everything else was ok IMO.

Sasha Quinn

This place has a great vibe and the food is amazing!! We were so happy to give it a try while in New Orleans and cannot wait to go back! I suggest getting one of the plates where you can choose several items...loved the greens, crab cake and ribs!!

The pros: New Orleans trying to eat veggies. The cons: still can’t get past the southern taste for everything fried. Yes: everything. Have you seen the fried avocados on the menu?! 👀 So if on one hand the city is finally trying to eat healthy (hurrah!!)… we’re still far from health. Can’t move past the greasy, heavy local tradition. On the other hand, the fried mushrooms I had (“kicking strings”) were fried to perfection, and I absolutely loved them. Wouldn’t sell them as “healthy”, but sure they were good in their genre (fried!). (I didn’t dare try the fat-on-fat combo of avocado + frying oil 😳). The hibiscus/ginger iced tea I ordered was also delicious: not too sweet, great fresh taste. The ambience is contemporary and nice, and I loved the many plants everywhere. Too bad that when the place is full it is so loud it is difficult to hear what the person next to you is saying. And the smell of fried food will stick to your clothes for a day or two. So: this is no “Sneaky Pickle” yet. Think more like “Seed”. But it is a step in the right direction. I hope to see less grease/fried/sauce and more steamed/sautéed/seasoned in their menu in the near future - but hey, thank you for bringing vegetables to the Treme! 💪 (Visited on 12/12/2021. The two items ordered were a 5/5. Overall 4/5 for the reasons discussed above)

Andrew “Drew” Savage

Had the Cajun jambalya, but was more like a creamy pasta dish, was good vegan different, had 2 cornbread balls inbeded in meal. Odd but delicious. really like the tea i purchased mostly. Plan to revisit.

Kellie Williams

Food was extremely delicious. Flavors bursting in my mouth. Serving size was very filling. Inside was very clean. Definitely will return next time I’m in NOLA.

M St. Julien

Wonderful VEGAN option! We ordered a few small platters for a recent baby shower and EVERYTHING was so good. We thoroughly enjoyed the Cauliwings (Chickpea battered cauliflower fried to a crisp with choice of sauce), the Kick'n Strips (Chickpea flour battered portabella mushroom caps sliced and fried to a crisp) and the Grilled Veggies (Zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, red bell pepper roasted, mushrooms and creole seasoning). We will definitely enjoy this again!

Lisa Guillen

So amazing! I was invited by a friend so I invited my friend & the food is divine & wholesome ! Keep up the good work & think about bringing this beautiful vibe to Baton Rouge #SupportLocal ❤️

Sydney Houlemard

lovely place!! if i wasn’t vegan before, i am after eating here. the food is delicious. the atmosphere is genuine and staff was very friendly. i love the seating areas for dine in (we sat on the upstairs level). extended hours coming soon??

Emma Goldberg

Delicious! Simple and sooooo delicious. The second floor in dine-in area is so traditional to the city like its feature. Staff is nice. Guys, great job! Wish you a prosperity and more generous clientele! Forgot to take pictures of my order, eaten till the last crust.

Hal Carlisle

This place is absolutely amazing, the best vegan food I've had ever. I've been enjoying vegan food for over twenty years, and I've been vegan for over five years. The chefs here are serious, and high vibe, you can tell they are on a mission to make great food. The front of house is kind and courteous, and will make you feel right at home. If you love Southern or Creole food, if you've ever tasted God in cornbread, or had a side of greens that made you feel like the last time your Grandmomma hugged you, then you should taste this undeniably legit soul food.

Zane Sawyer

I drove from California to New Orleans and by far this is the BEST vegan restaurant in town... The atmosphere on the inside is spectacular 👍🏿. May Yahweh Bless this place and keep them safe...

cherie breaux

I wanted everything on the menu but had to reign myself in and settle on sharing a few dishes. Love the option to pick your own but this time chose 2 of their plates and added extra cauliflower and the crb cake. Mom usually eats like a bird but finished her plate lunch in a sitting, it's that good!. The portions are generous, so we still had some of my plate and the extras for dinner. We'll visit every time we're in town.

Samuel Butler

I've been coming here every weekend (sometimes multiple times a weekend) for the past month, trying something new every time, and I can definitely say everything I've had has been amazing! Seriously, so so so good, heellllla good. This place has legit kept me alive for the past month of being a vegetarian in New Orleans. And the staff are amazing people, really down to earth, friendly, and hospitable. Good vibes at I-Tal Garden all around. The only bummer is that they're only open on the weekends! I swear I would've eaten here every day during my time here if theyd've let me!

Mike

Visited twice so far. Everything me and my partner have tried (almost everything from make your own plate menu) tasted great and came out in a timely manner. Love the self-serve citrus water. 3 stars due to everything served IN PLASTIC, even for dine-in. Plastic food containers, plastic sauce cups, plastic forks, etc. Would be great to have real silverware and dishes. Thank you!

Monet Marshall

I am SO glad I found this place!! The staff was friendly and the setup is very nice!! My husband and I were visiting NOLA and heading back home to TN when I found this dope spot on google. The menu had some awesome options to choose from and my indecisiveness didn’t help. However we loved our food and will certainly visit the next time we come back.

Z I

First time in NOLA, and we had a vegetarian Uber drive rave about this place, especially those jackfruit ribs. We ordered a lot because everything on the menu looked good and we shared stuff. Everything was delicious, but my top two were the ribs and the Cajun pasta. The workers there were super friendly and polite as well. Will definitely come back again.

Shanice K.

Loved the atmosphere, and the staff is absolutely amazing 👏🏾😍 I was only in town for a couple days and I am glad they were open! Everything was delicious, Tried many things on the menu, but my faves were the nachos, and the pancake breakfast platter! Will definitely be back! Oh, and if you have trouble finding it... its located inside PAX coffee shop.

Alejandro Granados

So delicious. Got the Mac plate and it amazing! The ginger lemonade was also very good!

Josh Levey

Wow, what a find! I-tal Garden has incredibly delicious vegan soul food. We tried a bit of everything and it was all so tasty. The Mac plate was great, the BBQ Ribs were savory, the cornbread and greens were bomb. Highly recommended

Amy Allday

My friends and I had many different items from the menu and they were all amazing tasting and perfectly prepared. The staff is super friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful!

Donna E

I had lunch here with my fiancé and LOVED the good vegan food! Everything I ordered I enjoyed! Especially the fried oyster mushrooms! I loved the good energy of the place, all of the plants and the music was nice. Definitely recommend.

Lisa clofer

The restaurant had great music which gave off a good vibe and the food was amazing! It was my first visit and will not be my last. I made a second visit on 12/9/22 and as I mentioned before the food is great and the atmosphere gives good vibes. My concerns are the amount of food you receive for the price you pay. I noticed this the first time I visited and more so this second time around. I love to eat and don't have a problem paying for my food. However, I spent $20 on a Mac plate and the portions were small as if it was for a toddler. It seems as though I received a small scoop of Mac and cheese and the cauliflower wings were cold. I would love to return but I'm unsure I will since the price doesn't match the portion of food received. I would recommend considering the amount of food customers receive since we're paying a lot of money for the meal. I understand that vegan products could be expensive sometimes, however, the price and amount of food plated for the customer don't match. Respectfully.

I ordered from I-tal Garden via Yelp with Grubhub delivery. It made my day to find it while in search for a vegan restaurant within a reasonable distance from my hotel that delivers. I was also thrilled to see that it was ranked number one out of restaurants with vegan food within the radius at the time. I nearly considered ordering sides, or the Vegan Rodeo Burger Meal until their Mac Plate caught my eye. The Mac Plate pretty much consisted of everything my tastebuds craved at the time like mac and cheese, collard greens, cornbread, and cauli-wings which ended up being the deciding factor for me. It took forty-four minutes from the time my order was acknowledged by Grubhub to the arrival of it at my hotel. And oh my God! The food smelled wonderful, and it looked very delicious! I had the biggest smirk on my face while taking every bite from the initial bite to the last. All in all, I had a pleasant ordering experience with I-tal Garden. I enjoyed my meal to the fullest and would gladly order from again during any of my ventures to New Orleans. It is definitely a must visit if you want a vegan friendly food spot as also mentioned by Yelper, Amor D. ~Blessings~ Thomas G

Arielle Ezechukwu

I inhaled the crab-less cake, Mac n chz, greens & blackeyed peas, also the raw drink, delicious! Soooo satisfying without the heaviness. I’ve been craving soul food and also didn’t have the time to make all these dishes myself - I had a trip planned to NOLA and this spot was on my list, sooo worth it!

Lynn T

I’m in love with the Cajun Pasta. The portion is enough to eat off twice. This pasta is extremely delicious and seasoned well. The salad has always been fresh, no wilted lettuce. I’ve had this pasta about five different times over the last few months and I have NEVER been disappointed. The location is the old Club Escape (if you’re a particular age you know what I’m talking about). I am not a vegan and this dish is still very satisfying to me. It’s actually better than a lot of non-vegan pastas that I’ve eaten.

Kiesha Shante

Was visiting from out of town and this spot was recommended to me. Fresh and hot food. Them brussel sprouts were bomb! And I was very impressed with the veggie burger😊

James Edwardson

Just an FYI, only open Friday Saturday and Sunday. This place is absolutely amazing. Food is incredible and I highly recommend the avocado fries and the crispy cauliflower wings with maple sriracha sauce. Food was some of the best I’ve ever had and all plant-based. Music was amazing, overall great experience.

stephen abell

This is a MUST for Vegans, not just those visiting but native to New Orleans. The flavors of the dishes are complex without being confused, the service is fantastic, the decor featuring local artist is humble and true to the roots of the neighborhood. Having eaten Vegan across 9 countries and in dozens of cities, the chefs at I-Tal have adapted regional and cultural cusine which is traditionally heavy in creams, salt, fat, and meat into a plant based nirvana. The textures and flavors are indsiguishable from their animal based counterparts, but you are left feeling good about what you put in your body. My wife and we're so thrilled with the experience we walked up to the Chef's afterwards and thanked them. Hope this place wins an award as it would be warranted. Non-Vegans( like me) get your butts to this place and eat a stellar plant based meal, you won't be disappointed!

Katie Clark

The food was delicious! Best vegan restaurant I've ever been to! My meat and potatoes boyfriend was pretty happy too

Barbara Keller

Vegan food may take some adjustment. The vegan cookie was outstanding. The place was busy. High five to vegan food. BBQ sauce good. Vegan rib good.

Diane Randles

This place is amazing, by far the best vegan food I have eaten. I usually don't write reveiws but this restaurant is a must visit. Ital food at its best representation.

Hannah Tavakoli

This place is UNREAL! Best all around vegan food in NOLA 10/10/10/10. Jackfruit ribs are incredible! Everything is great. I'm picky, too! Support this incredible restaurant. Don't miss out

My Dao Ngo

This is an all vegan establishment. I was excited to come back after my first visit a few months back. Pictured is RA pasta and the pick 2 plate. RA pasta - This was flavored well and creamy. Savory but not salty. It has a mixture of textures to keep the meal from being just pasta (even though I love pasta). Zucchini and broccoli retained their bite instead of being overcooked, which I tend to do to my veggies when I cook it myself. Pick 2 plate - This comes with two proteins and 3 sides. I chose the bbq ribs and the crispy oyster mushroom bites as the proteins. For sides I chose Mac n cheese, green beans, and potato salad. BBQ ribs - Flavor and tenderness is on point. It has that sweetness and texture really resembles meat. Crispy oyster mushrooms - Crispy batter with the right amount of seasonings. This texture is definitely a bit chewy/crunchy, think like a squid if you’ve ever had that. I personally really liked it. Mac n cheese - Cheesy and has a distinct herb flavor. I loved it last time and this time isn’t any different. Lol. Green beans - Super tender and that’s all I have to say on it. Potato salad - Chunky and on the drier side, not to say it was dry.

Jennifer Rhyne

Had the mac and cheese plate, oyster mushroom sandwich, and the jackfruit ribs. The ribs and sandwich were outstanding! Fast and friendly service too.

Cesar De Anda

The food here is absolutely incredible. Get the Creole Greens, Corn Bread and potato salad. Great food great staff great vibe.

Gregory Streeter

The food and the staff are wonderful. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my family of 8 were well taken care of and the food was some of the best vegan food I’ve ever tasted.

Ian Campbell

So good! I don’t know how you make a vegan crab cake taste that much like a crab cake made with crab. Friendly service and great food

Ling Eats

A must try vegan spot, real versatile.

Homeschool Historian

Delicious food. I had the Cajun style pasta and gumbo. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff was friendly

Cheslyn - Neema Walker

Great vegan good love the concept. Ital is vital. ordered our food to go ready on time. like the restaurant decor. vibrant ...

Christian Harris

Best vegan spot I’ve tried in the city so far. They were still serving breakfast when I came in, can’t wait to try out some lunch and dinner options. I had the cauli wings, chickpea scramble, sweet potato hash, and southern style greens. Everything was cooked perfectly and deliciously seasoned. These folks know what they’re doing! Great music on as well, friendly staff, overall great vibe.

Dane Steeves

Absolute must visit. Went with a group and ordered 3/4 of the menu—everything was top notch. Highlight was the shrimp sammie!!!!

Lauren Kraft

Absolutely UNREAL vegan soul food. I am not kidding when I say it’s the best vegan food I’ve had in my life. Everything cooked with so much flavor and care. Nice to feel like you’re not missing out on all the tasty things that NOLA has to offer because *this* is available. Check out the plant store next store. Super cute.

John E Jaan

Delicious !! Everything we ordered was SUPER TASTY! jackfruit Ribs, coconut sauce oasta, cauliflower bites …def come here . Deserves 6 stars for a lil extra !

Jacob Franck

The food here was amazing! My friend and I are vegetarian and this was by and far the best vegetarian food in the city. If they were open during the week we probably would've eaten there every night. If you're wanting some awesome food this is a must-go!

Light Bringer

Upon walking into the place, there is a beautifully crafted, clean atmosphere that really caught my attention, followed by the workers who greeted us with the utmost jubilation. However, what matters most is the quality of the food that truly shined the most. Being a vegan restaurant and remaining true to the I-tal tradition, they fancy the embrace of delicious, healthy eating and they did not disappoint. The menu consists of an assortment of delicious, healthy alternatives of some of your favorite foods, be it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.. Ordering the Cauliwings with BBQ sauce for an appetizer was truly an unexpected marvel. One bite, and I forgot that the wings were made from cauliflower, fried and smothered in delicious BBQ sauce. What came next was my personal favorite, signature meal - The Rodeo Burger, with seitan bacon and vegetables on the side to further reinforce that this is a vegan place. As I picked it up, and took one bite, this is truly a beautiful reminder that there are passionate people willing to show the world that the vegan lifestyle can truly be embraced, because they know that the psychology of the human mind still savors the tastes of what they crave. Followed by the freshly cut fries and hibiscus tea, I cannot help but enjoy every bite. My only disappointment was that I didn't order double the amount. For what it is worth, for anyone who wish to kick back from the meat eating, and want to explore vegan options, explore your options and give I-tal a visit. You will not be disappointed.

Neffie Alimayu

Everything was excellent. My husband and stop in on our back home and was not disappointed. It was sooo good we ordered several to take home for dinner. The oyster mushrooms, jackfruit ribs, and gumbo where our appetizers. The gumbo was good and not heavy. My husband is the vegan and I’m a meat eater lol. I enjoyed everything. It’s a must go if in NOLA. Parking is not the best so park across the street.

Jazanna Marie Riddlesprigger

Ital is my favorite restaurant in Nola!!! I have tried their vegan breakfast platter 10/10 nachos 20/10, ital pasta 9/10, raw walnut tacos 10/10. Lol name and my boyfriend have been a few times! I also love their set up and the restaurant employees are so nice! I Love it here and if your looking for a place to go in Nola for some good food in general, this is the place to go. I also did a TikTok review that shows you a glimpse of this wonderful place @jazannamarie P.S that new employee is so handsome😍😍 All around great experience!

Greg Prasker

OhMyGodness. This was one of the main spots I wanted to hit up but didn’t know if I’d get a chance. But of course…the Universe aligns. Ital food is from Jamaica. It’s Rastafarian deliciousness. Super clean and from the earth. High Vibe AF. So of course I got the biggest combo platter. Crabless Cakes, Fried “Oysters”, Quinoa Jambalaya, Creole Green Beans, Roasted Potatoes and Curry Black Eyes Peas. Sweet Potato Pie and Blueberry Drizzle Cake for the late night. OutFuckinStanding!

Balance Higher Knowledge

The food is amazing. I tried 4 of the appetizers in one sitting. Left and came back for dinner. And guess what? They use grape seed oil instead of the gmo oils. What more can you ask for!!!

gb1676

Probably had thee best kale salad!!!! Definitely coming back ❤️ First time customer!!!

Sean Marus

This is some of the best vegan comfort food I’ve ever had. Super friendly staff and really inventive plant-based offerings.

Cameron Alexis Moore

I ate here twice! The food is amazing! Team is stellar. I had a great experience and meal both times I visited during my trip.

Sara Sweeney

Everything here was delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place to everyone! There is a lot of seating too.

Kristal J.

Ribs are hitting, love their fried avocado, best macaroni in town, great deserts, and the lemon or mint water is the icing on the cake.

NiChele Brown

My first time having vegan food. The food is absolutely amazing, and the customer service superb!! 10/10

Danie Vick

Pretty good vegan food. Avocado fries amazing. Cajun pasta is soooo good and flavorful.

Nicole Hershey

Everything was delicious. We got the cauliflower wings, w/ Brussels sprouts, mac n cheese, & sweet potatoes, plus avocado fries and the lemon pepper oyster mushroom wrap. That was enough for us 3 girls to share for dinner. The lemon and ginger tea was ginger forward and yummy. The space is super cute and plenty of easy parking under the bridge. Will definitely be back.

Emily Coady

Don’t walk, RUN! This is a food experience. You know the kind that you remember forever because it was that good? Yep, this is it! We are a plant based family visiting from Calgary and I’m already thinking about when we can come back to eat here again. I’m not one to write reviews but this place is special. Everything we tried was an 11/10. The pasta dishes, crab cakes, bbq ribs, corn bread, beans, chocolate chip cookies…I wish we could have tried the entire menu. It was all seasoned to perfection! And the best part, the owners are beautiful people! Black-owned and made with so much love. This place is a treasure and I wish them nothing but success. Thank you for satisfying every single one of my taste buds. My family left with happy heart’s and belly’s!

Shantel Embalming Duchess Fleming

Very helpful in planning my next visit to New Orleans with my food picky vegan friend As for me I eat everything I love love New Orleans foods hope she will enjoy the food choices and this place

Mariana Zamarripa

I am not vegan but I was wanting to try it anyways. I was so impressed by the taste. Wow! I could not get enough of it so I came back again and again and don’t even live here. Everything on the menu is amazing! The environment gives good vibes!

Jerrica Hoey

I had the cajun pasta with sausage and crab cake. Can't recommend it enough, best pasta I've ever had.

Cee Jones

I found this restaurant on Happy Cow!! I went for breakfast with one friend (I had a WONDERFUL Vegan breakfast) and returned with a different friend for a late lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed BOTH meals.

Xamaya

Visiting for a few days and needed to try as many vegan places as I could before going back home. Very glad to have come here. The food is tasty , I recommend the cajun pasta , the triple Mac n cheese and the oyster mushrooms personally. Gumbo was the very best! Even if u order something different , at least get a small cup of the gumbo. It's also a cute place to eat at. Upstairs seating is very cute. If you're out of town visiting just know It's a 20 min walk roughly from bourbon area if that's where you're staying.

Julie Langenbrunner

When my friends and I got a little lost in New Orleans, we were lucky to happen upon this place. So glad we did! When I come back to this city I will happily go out of my way to eat here again. We had a variety of food in my group of 5 and everything was delicious (fried stuff and salads and all of it). I am not a vegan (or vegetarian) but I easily adapt to it if I always had food like this around.

DpOoenise Collins

This is my favorite vegan restaurant. My only regret is that they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Randy Denis

Visited here from Los Angeles. This place is filled with joy! Definitely a great place to hang out and soak in the love that comes from a mission to feed not just the body, but the soul and the community. 5 stars for that. My favorite food was the Skrimp...vegan shrimp which was delicious.

ERIN CARLSON

We were unaware it was a vegan restaurant. The food was quite good. We all had the corn bread, delicious. My mom and I had panko fried myshrooms- also delicious. They also had the best hibiscus tea I've ever had.

Neil Hart

Wow this place! Like a dream! The vegan food is mindblowing. A huge range of choices, all of which sound incredible, and the stuff I ate was some of the best food I have eaten anywhere. The staff are super cool, as are all the people who eat there. Loved it

Darrielle Williams

Normally, when I visit family in New Orleans I will sometime have to cook for myself, or buy expensive food from a restaurant(usually not Cajun style and in a gentrified area). Honestly, I'm so happy that this restaurant exists. I had the 2 protein sides and 2 veggie sides and all of the items were presented well and tastes really good. My favorite were the green beans. They even have chopped potatoes in them(just like my momo's). The other standout were the skrimp. They were crunchy and delicious - with a seafood flavor. I wasn't a huge fan of the other two things I got, but they were still well seasoned. Overall I had a great experience. I'm really excited to go back to this restaurant.

Taryn King

The food is delicious and we service is incredible. Definitely a must to visit when in New Orleans.

Adam R. (Seriustruth)

Very pleasant experience. Awesome counter staff, clean facility, very nice atmosphere, very tasty, well seasoned fare. I'll definitely be returning.

Marshall Manthers

Wow wow wow! Best vegan restaurant in New Orleans in operation at the time of this review- hands down! The food had perfect balance of flavor, acidity, freshness and plant basedness (less processed). We are all about flavor and I-tam Garden delivered. We had the fingers, jackfruit ribs, coconut pigeon peas, meatball sub and garden salad. Even the garden salad was well made including sprouts, avocado and a perfect dressing. I just wish they were open more days and hours so we could have made it twice before leaving! I also learned about the rich history of Clairborne Ave and Treme after leaving. It made the visit even more special to support a business in an area with a rich black history highly disrupted by the building of the I-10

Lukas Simonis

Jackfruit "ribs," mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts were delicious. Very friendly and welcoming.

Max Cameo

A very nice vegan interpretation of caribbean food. Would love to see some Ackee on the menue too. But the choice is GREAT. Staff is committed. You get dishes here where you can see and taste, that someone has been taking a minute to think about creating them. How can some complain for the food to be prepared a little longer? You better chill...Anyways, we had our plate at the table in 10 minutes! Perfect! I Tal mesns Vi Tal! Big up yuhself! Bless

Cate H

Delicious delicious delicious fresh food!! Hit the spot after an afternoon of walking around town. So glad I found this earlier in my visit so I can come back soon. Finding a decent veggie around here is hard- this place saved me.

B. Heru

not the least expensive vegan spot in the city, but definitely has the best food. the goodness of soul food, without the itis.

Mo Jo

BEST NATURAL VEGAN FOOD in the entire city! Family owned and operated and you can feel it in the food! Love Love Love!

Sabrina Free

Good customer service and delicious food Philly Black Vegan was here

Christina C

I really enjoyed this spot, the vibes were good and the crew was really chill. It almost felt like a peace and love park with food, a roof, and walls. I had a few items off the menu. The parfait was delicious without being overly sweet or too bitter. The avocado toast was missing something, I have had better and it's not that hard to make. The chickpeas were okay, a little dry and can use a revamp. The lavender lemon cake was tasty but the lavender pellets were a bother to eat. Its definitely worth a stop on the vegan trail to try everything on the menu and see what you like and what you don't.

Elise Bell Alexander

This place was INCREDIBLE! Im visiting and a friend shared it with me, recommending the Mac and Cheese. This some one of the best food I’ve had. The Kick’n strips are delicious. If you are in NOLA, you’ve got to come here!

Lawrence Garber

Incredible food. Run, don’t walk.

Hailee Lovato

Literally the best fully vegan meal I can remember having. I had the vegan Mac meal, and my friend had the ra pasta, both were phenomenal. Amazing staff and service.

MiKayla

The food is always great here and the staff are friendly. The wait time is pretty long so order ahead of time.

Shamicka North

The food here is fire!! It was my first time here and I'm so impressed. Each individual item was so well seasoned so tasted great on it's own but also together as well. As an individual new to eating vegan food, eating here makes this seem like a do-able lifestyle change. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!

Ozaukee Talent

Top notch delicious and healthy food in a great vibe of a place. Staff were extremely polite and accomodating.

Sophie FitzMaurice

Best vegan soul food I've ever had, nice atmosphere, relaxed

james caulfield

Awesome vegan food !! We tried several things and they were all good

Mia Robertson

This is the best vegan food I have EVER HAD!!! Mindblowingly good!

ashana Janei

We loved their food. Super delicious, healthy and fresh. Spacious location and professional staff. Definitely will be back. Wish they were open more days. Highly recommend.

Trix W

If I lived in NOLA this would be my Sunday spot...good food (vegan w/a soul food flair)...DELICIOUS. Good music, very good vibe & it's a cute venue...love it. I had the bbq cauliwings w/mac & 3 cheese, Cajun greens (I could eat the whole pot) and of course corn bread.😍 …

Freda Jones

The food was freshly prepared delicious and prices were great. A great place for meetings and catering..I love it...

Maia Hobson

Food was delicious. Prices were a bit on higher end for vegan restaurants. They be ok ight all food at once, when gumbo could haven been brought first. Friendly staff.

Lumumba Moulton

The service was great and the food was delicious. I have no idea why it took me so long to eat here

Cynthia Banks

Everything from the amazing service and care to the food was exceptional and yumminess. Loved everything from the kickin strips to the sweet potato bowl. Lavender lemon cake and everything is VEGAN! The bathrooms are clean and unisex. The art on the walls, the plants on the wall, this whole place is an experience. If Your in NOLA this is a must.

Nicolas Rodrigue

Very good food, service quality is great ! A must visit vegan place in NOLA !

Alaa Mohammed

I like the kitchen, all food is cooked in front of you. I am not vegan, but it is nice to try the variety of food provided. I love their Mac and cheese.

Allison Collins

This is a hidden gem of New Orleans!! The vegan food is incredible!! It’s so difficult to find Cajun/Homestyle vegan food in the first place, not to mention how yummy it is! I will visit I-tal every time I’m in Nola.

Juan Silva

Hands down they best food I’ve ever had

Kaari Aubrey

Aside from having a beautiful, open and family-friendly atmosphere, I-tal Garden has incredible food options. The I-tal Plate and Cauliflower Wings were incredible! It was clear that care was taken to ensure quality of food and drinks. I look forward to returning for a comforting meal & workspace with a great playlist.

Juliette Jacobs

Most amazing vegan food in the city!! If you haven't gone your denying yourself. I buy several meals on Sunday split them up and have lunch and dinner all week. I save time and money.

Vicious Vaudeville

The food is good and the staff is incredibly nice. But the service is slow. By the time we got our food we were ravenous and then opened our meal container to find portions that were way too small for the price. After we finished we went directly to another restaurant and had a second meal. On top of that some of the staff weren't wearing masks.

Tanvi Shah

Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, cauliwings, and oyster mushroom bites were really good. Everything else felt a bit under-seasoned. Very filling, though. My main issue was that most people working were not wearing masks or following the 6' distancing guidelines, which may be fine for others, but I wasn't comfortable with. Might try again after COVID. Also, definitely triple check if you have a gluten allergy - some items in the gf options are not gf, so check that each item will be gf.

Faith Carswell

Where do i start? I don’t know if i have the words to describe our experience . Let’s just say, I’m planning a trip back to NO very soon and this will be my first stop. Food was delicious, customer service was amazing, wait time was unexplainable considering the food that’s delivered to your table. I couldn’t get enough. Thank you for your service and love put into this food 💗

This was my first time to New Orleans and my first stop in the city. This is a BLACK OWNED VEGAN restaurant (❤️) that I absolutely had to support! The food was delicious! I had the pancake platter. The vibe is nice and customer service on point! It's so inviting that I stayed to eat instead of to go. Definitely recommend!

Anita H

Our first time dining here and it was so delicious! I had oyster mushroom bites, bbq jackfruit ribs, Mac and cheese, potato salad, greens, cornbread and hibiscus tea. He had a salad and Mac and cheese. I also had the lemon lavender cake and strawberry donut. The cake almost didn't make it out the restaurant. It was supposed to be for later. I can't wait to go back. The staff were so helpful and had such beautiful spirits. Oh, I loved the decor as well. What I loved most was the diversity of people that patronized this establishment!

Deanna Freeny

The place was great it had good atmosphere and the food was really good. Seating is limited so if you want to get a seat I suggest going closer to the end of brunch.

Shabazz Visions

I was unhappy to fi d the grits not good at all. No seasoning. Also the chickpea eggs were not good at all. The fried califlower was very good along with the creole greens. The pancakes were the best!
