Majani Soulful Vegan Cuisine - Chicago

The younger members of the group weren't very fond of it since it was vegan, whereas the adults appreciated the meal because they understood vegan cuisine and knew how to order what they enjoyed.

We had a family dinner here, and it was absolutely delicious! The greens were a hit with everyone, and I really enjoyed the mac and cheese that I sampled from my brother's plate. The cornbread was fantastic and had the flavor of southern dressing—no butter required! The salad that accompanied my beans and rice bowl was actually my favorite dish; the garlic dressing was so good. I can't wait to return! It's conveniently located right off the Metra, making it easy to get to, and there's street parking available too.

This is a truly delightful restaurant. The ambiance is bright and inviting, with communal tables and delicious food. Although the kitchen was busy with many orders, the staff was very friendly and kept us informed about a possible wait, which was appreciated. The food was outstanding; I particularly recommend the greens. The black-eyed pea burger was well-seasoned and moist, unlike some bean burgers that can be dry. Vegan cuisine often falls into the trap of repeating the same few dishes or relying heavily on artificial substitutes, but Majani breaks that mold. They offer unique options made with fresh, real ingredients and collaborate with local growers to source their produce.

I absolutely love the vibe of both the employees and the space! The hostess and cook were very personable sweet.. both had amazing energy the entire time I dined inside. The music was a great bonus for my dining experience, too. It was literally just 2 employees, and it got very, very busy! I ordered stir fry, fried okra, and fried green tomatoes. I was soooo stuffed that I had to have the remainder of my food boxed up. The food portions were plentiful, that's for sure... It's worth every penny. I'm from STL and will definitely stop here every time I come in town. Thank you to the ladies who showed me what Majani Soulful Vegan Cuisine was all about.

The food, the dessert, and the service were all 5 stars! I found this little gem on a whim with the family. Everyone enjoyed it! Being a wfpb vegan for years I’m always elated to find something as close as homemade as possible and this establishment was exactly what! Everything made from scratch and delicious. This will be my go to on every visit to Chicago! Thank you!
