Great service and food! Highly recommend the skewer battle! Kindred has been a local vegan favorite for years. I love their unique creations & decor. Our server quickly seated us and got our order, which we shared family style. We got the skewer sample platter as well as the caesar salad, quinoa bowl with sweet potatoes and charred vegetables with ricotta. Everything was great but the star of the evening was definitely the kefta (impossible shawarma skewer). The reason I gave it a four instead of five stars... Service can be slow here in terms of when the food will be ready to serve. Don't expect to get out of here in an hour especially when there is a dinner rush around 6:30 pm. I also kinda sorta wish they had their jackfruit sandwich & chips BUT I LOVE that they're willing to change the menu for their chefs & customers. Repetition can get boring so it's nice to spice things up and ch-ch-change. Unfortunately, our booth got a little hot while we were sitting in it and the sun kept blinding the side of our eyes. It wasn't a problem if you had sunglasses but it was a minor inconvenience if you didn't. Parking: Street Parking. It wasn't bad around 5:30 pm on a weekday Price: $$ Recommendations: The impossible lamb/shawarma skewer! It was delicious.

We were a larger group of 9, there for a birthday. This place was pretty busy when we arrived, reservations at 7pm. The food was all so good. Everyone enjoyed their meals, I got the Warlock bowl of grains, with quinoa and farro, greens and peanuts. My husband got the grilled cheese and a bowl of tomato soup which was good. The fried mushroom app was delicious. I got the miracle cure (nonalcoholic) and added vodka. It was very good. Love the vibe. The service was a tad slow. (My husband was waiting for the spoon for his soup and I went to ask the waitress for one.) It was a busy dinner time though so we weren't upset! Highly recommend this place!

Since my birthday fell on my weekly Meatless Monday, hubby chose to surprise me with a visit to Kindred. As a self confessed carnivore, I typically hate restaurants whose entire menu tries to disguise various vegetarian food as some form of meat. What I truly appreciated about this place was how flavorful all the food was- each a unique twist to ensure vegetarian food is highlighted rather than dressing it up as non vegetarian dish. I started off with a Zombie Prescription and DH tried the River Styx- we absolutely loved our drinks! We tried the Skewer Battle, Doom Bloom, Torched Carrots, Cosmo Knots and the Eggroll Burger. Each dish was so unique and flavorful. I do wish the skewer battle came with one more skewer of each of the three types- it was so good! My biggest disappointment was that the menu had only 2 dessert options- one being Milk & Cookies. We chose to try the Baklava Cheesecake which was decent but not great. I was very graciously offered a free birthday dessert but as someone with a big sweet tooth, I wish there were more dessert options. The ambiance was great- modern, quirky goth ... really fun. We had a dinner reservation at 7pm on a Monday night and our server was very helpful and attentive at the start of the meal as the evening progressed, she seemed to be stretched thin as she didn't seem to have a lot of help. Overall 4and half stars... I'd highly recommend this gem to anyone looking to try something different. My family and I can't wait to return - perhaps during brunch.
