I’m not a vegan but do try to eat plant based meals occasionally.  This is a small locally owned business that I tried for the first time when they were… read more set up at Wingfest.   I think the owner/ chef was there and was super nice.  The Mac and Cheese was delicious and the kabobs were grilled to perfection.   Why anyone would bother with chain restaurants when we have great locally owned and operated businesses like this one is beyond me !  Support local and get some tasty food!

  I recently discovered a one-of-a-kind restaurant in the Shoppes at West Village in the Cave Spring area of Roanoke that specializes in delicious and healthy vegan cuisine. I have never… read more been a lover of vegan food but now see what I have been missing…interesting unique surprisingly succulent dishes such as mashed potatoes with quinoa burgers and gravy, spaghetti alla boscaiola and the recent addition of a pineapple and vegetable sandwich. Fast food chain restaurants abound in our city but this family-owned establishment is akin to a Beethoven symphony among ordinary ditties. My hope is that our community will support this nascent business enough to allow it not just to survive but thrive….to continue adding a even more exciting array of selections to their menu.

  Traveling on Christmas Day trying to find nonboxstore food is not easy. I tried an Asian restaurant that was not open (altho online said otherwise). Then I found a second… read more one. As I was leaving my car I saw Sir Vegaani and had no idea a vegan place was nearby let alone open. I walked in was greeted by the sweetest man who I believe is the owner/chef. He explained they had just  closed but he had made a plate for himself to take home. I said, are you sure, what will you eat? His gesture of kindness on that day was something I will never forget. And the food was beyond fabulous. Southern vegan homestyle love. So for fun I then went into the Asian restaurant next door and said the wait for takeout was 90 minutes. Someone was watching over me…..I can’t wait to return to Sir Vegaani in future travels…..
