I had been hearing lots of good reviews on the fried grits and have been wanting to try them forever. I finally got to tonight, and they are delicious (10/10, I’d get some of the marinara sauce on the side next time). I also got the jerk burger (7/10, no sauce on it but the flavor was on point), bbq cauliflower (10/10!!), oyster mushroom taco (9/10, so flavorful). I would highly recommend this place & I’m not even vegan. I will definitely be back.
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. 🥲
Had a family dinner here, so yummy! The greens were everyone’s favorite, and I liked the Mac and cheese I got to taste off my brother’s plate. The cornbread is so yummy and taste like southern dressing- no butter needed! The salad that came with my beans and rice bowl was honestly my favorite of everything, the garlic dressing is delicious. Looking forward to coming back! It’s right off the metra so easy access to get to, plus street parking.

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!
Listen...There's nothing like a good "home cooked" meal. The fact that I had so many gluten-free options to choose from is a HUGE plus. Don't sleep on the BBQ cauliflower. 😋 I wish I had placed a 2nd order to eat on the airplane. The ginger lemonade has a HEALTHY dose of ginger in it and it might put a little hair on your chest. Just a little. The sorrel is sooo refreshing. The red beans...❤️ Got me cooking some right now. The sweet potatoes were perfectly sweet with just the right amount of spice. The cornbread tastes like dressing. Which I think is clever.
Knowing that he sources produce from local farmers is a big win.
The service is top notch. The employees are very nice and accommodating. Knowing Tsadakeeyah was preparing my food just warmed my heart. My new favorite restaurant. I'll be back.
Wow this was exceptional vegan. The oyster mushroom starter was so good I could of eaten a pound. Jerk tofu Mac and cheese was so good and plenty to eat.
Solid vegan place in an area that doesn't have so many of those. Well worth trying if you're in the area.
Honestly, best restaurant in all of South Shore, my friends took care of me! The bbq cauliflower *chefs kiss*, it was crispy, not to sweet not to tangy! I also had the oysters mushrooms, BAYYBEEE perfect! Last but not least the soul food bowl… with each bite I thought I was back home with my grandmother!
I went there for a date but got stood up. The server asked if I was okay cause I was there for almost two hours. They were very kind. And the water was amazing.
I'm not vegan but this place has made me embrace their vegan menu. Not only was the food really good but the service was top notch! Even the owners went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience. I will support this spot as much as I can! I suggest you do too!

GREAT Atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Welcoming & Friendly staff. EVERYTHING I tried was DELICIOUS. 😋 I had the cauliflower wings, jerk chik’n tacos 🌮 with roasted sweet potato 🍠 & the GREENS….babyyyyy. We’ll be back. Fasho 🤪
Majani Soulful Vegan Cuisine is an amazing place to grab a healthy bite to eat. The service is fast and the food is delicious! I have eaten more then a few times at this place and every time the food was on point! Must try’s are the greens and fried grits!! Mmmmmmm
Really lovely spot. Beautiful light, communal tables, and delicious food. The kitchen had a lot of orders but the service was lovely as they communicated there might be a little wait. The food was so good, I highly recommend the greens. The black eyed pea burger was well seasoned and not dry like bean burgers sometimes are. Vegan cuisine can sometimes get stuck in the rut of the same few dishes or can be dominated by artificial substitutes, but not Majani. They offer unique dishes and a lot of real ingredients. They also partner with local growers to source produce.
Delicious soul foods! Small place but great atmosphere with friendly staff. I checked it out during a short visit in Chicago. Would definitely go back next time I'm in town.
We try to limit our meat intake so we decided to try this place. The barbecue cauliflower was so delicious we had to order two! It’s light and crispy and full of flavor. I also had the breakfast vegan tacos which would have been better with the guacamole they were out of this day. The tacos and burrito were a bit dry and could use some sauce or dressing. The pancakes were very light, fluffy and buttery! We also tried the peach cobbler, which was amazing! I would have given them 5 stars had they not been out of guacamole! Overall, a great place to try if your into vegan food and flavors!
I've always enjoyed eating here. We had a variety for brunch: fried grits, Sunday brunch plate with a side of French toast, and breakfast tacos. Regardless if you're vegan, vegatartian or not, you will not be disappointed.
Absolutely amazing. The service is outstanding. This place gives me all the feels! Everything on the menu is delicious. The fried grits and fried sweet potatoes are heaven. Crabcakes and gyro was . This place is definitely in my top 3 for vegan restaurants. They have mastered the art of great food and great service without sacrificing quality and comfort. I will be back for the fried grits and mushrooms.
