We enjoyed ourselves at Sankofa Kitchen. Seeing as we have been here once before, the only thing that has changed is they now have the impossible and beyond meat burger available for their vegan menu. There were some small hiccups with the customer service but overall the experience was smooth. For details about the restaurant, checkout our 1st review here. You can see our video review for details on what food we got and what our individual ratings were.
Since we’ve been here a few times and loved it each time, we won’t do a written review. The video review is below and we also cover towards the end, what you can expect in this upcoming year! To view out previous reviews of Goji, click here.
A few of us have gone to the Libertine Bar individually so it was only a matter of time before we payed them a visit as a group. While they may have less vegan options then most places we visit, what they do have is very delectable! This combined with good customer service and setting make for a very favorable experience.
Food: Everyone enjoy the dish they got. It was universal state that it was somewhat about average. The only negative that was mentioned is the Setain tacos had a little too much sauce on them. With that feedback in mind, you may want to consider telling them to bring the sauce separately so that you can control how much you out in your taco.
Atmosphere: It is a bar so it had plenty of people and music in the background. With that being said, it was louder then other places so if you don’t like loud environments, you may need to take that into consideration. Also note that we visited them on a Saturday night so you can imagine how busy and loud they will be versus going up in the day where it’s quieter.
Customer Service: Out of all the restaurants we’ve been too, they definitely have one of the best. They we very attentive to us and our food came out VERY fast. All problems with customer service stem from these 2 things and since they had the both nailed, there isn’t any real complaint!
Price: Decent
We had a great experience with Libertine and this makes them a good contender to pay another visit too in the future!

We’ve known about Blatt Beer for quite some time. It was only a matter of time before we paid them a visit. While there were things we liked about our experience, there were a few draw backs that impacted the overall experience.
Food: The food ranged from good to decent. The biggest complaint was that the root burger had trouble maintaining its form as we were munching on them. In some cases, it would fall apart as you were half way threw. It should also be mentioned here that they only have 2 vegan options which does leave an impact here. We mostly agreed that the currywurst is the better amount the 2 especially if you’re a spice person.
Atmosphere: With it being a bar, it has a bar feel to it. The most noticeable things were it was very clean. The aside, it’s a bar setting. Nothing more, nothing less.
Customer Service: Unfortunately this is the area where they suffered the most. While nothing rude happen with customer service, out waiter simply was not familiar with the vegan options of the restaurant. Some of us were going to try out the currywurst but when questions were asked about it such such as would it have a vegan hotdog in it, he didn’t know and made a guess saying that it wouldn’t. Since that would be the difference between it being a entree or an appetizer, most of us got the root burger. We only found out later that it did have the hotdog, which irritated some of us. Servers need to know the menu of the establishment they work in and if they don’t have an answer, they need to go get one. More details about this incident are in the video review below.
This sure wasn’t the worst experience we’ve had but wasn’t the best either. The food and atmosphere were decent to good but the customer service experience holds them back from being one to remember.

Da Munchies Website: https://www.damunchiesusa.com/
After having Da Munchies for a few months, we decided to pay them a visit no puns intended. Roomers have been circulating all over the vegan community in the DFW about this awesome restaurant with fun and tasty vegan options. It was only a matter of time before we paid them a visit. I'm glad to say that they didn't fail to deliver. We greatly enjoyed ourselves at Da munchies and while you can probably already tell that by now, the details below will make that even more apparent!
Food: The food's theme is more less vegan junk food as they call. It lives up to its name. The menu consist of stuff you would find yourself having munchies for. The menu is very creative and tasty. What we all found to be eccentric and refreshing is the menu is so many meat replacements that fit the munchies stereotype without using soy or setian. They are made from things such as Califlower, Plantains and jack fruit just to name a few. This makes their many VERY accommodating to anyone that has wheat or soy allergies. This is all accomplished without the quality of food being dropped. This makes this resturant unique in its own way and is a much needed change of pace from a food perspective.
Atmosphere: The experience felt very lounge like. They had comfortable seating via a sofa and chairs. This was accompanied with music in the background ranging from upbeat to more slow tone. The music was loud enough to set a relaxing mood but low enough so that we could still hear each other talk. Overall the atmosphere was great! the only negative at this time is seating is somewhat limited inside. While we didn't directly encounter this, if a lot of people happen to come in at once and want to eat inside, it could potential be a seating issue. As they expand, hopefully this issue will eventually go away.
Customer Service: They were very accommodating to us both in setting us coming and when we got there. We were given attention to make sure we were ok on a frequent basis. Not much more can be said other then we felt very welcomed and if there's a text book definition of customer service, i would say that's it!
Our experience with the munchies was very favorable. The menu offer something new and refreshing to the Vegan community, serving it in a very laid back environment with great service. We'll definitely have to pay them another visit!
