The restaurant as soon as you walk in. The deli is in the back.
Had to go into DC today to run an errand and so I decided to treat myself to some vegan gourmet food while I was there. But from where? I decided to look up some vegan places on Google. That's when I came across Everlasting Life Health Complex.
They're located on Georgia Avenue near the Exodus Vegan Soul Food place. The guy working there was so nice and helpful. He gave me a sample of all of their popular dishes (this was before he knew I was going to blog about it). EVERYTHING they serve is vegan.
Their cold food deli and hot food bar was so delicious looking and they had such a huge variety. I felt like a kid in a candy store! I decided on the large side of the mac n' cheese and small sides of the garlic kale and tofu-spinach quiche. Their hot food entrees consisted of pepper steak and orange chicken. Both were very good but I'm not very much into mock meats. The hot food bar also had cabbage, broccoli, brown rice, and lentils. Their menu items change daily. Their eggplant parmesan is a must try!!
The cold food deli consisted of too many things to mention here. They had 2 different flavored kale, macaroni salad, potato salad, quiche, shredded bean curd, sesame tofu, corn-bean salad, etc.
They had a small but very delicious looking variety of desserts: frosted cinnamon rolls, oatmeal raisin cookie, and lemon cake (I bought the lemon cake and it was the perfect amount of sweetness, a nice amount of frosting, and not one bit dry).
The prices were incredible! My total came to right under $20 and I got all this:
The guy who helped me said his brother owns the place and they had been going through some renovations and still are and so a lot of people thought the place wasn't open. I really hope this small local business is successful. Whoever reads this post, please make it a point to stop by and show your support. Take friends/family with you. You won't regret it! Oh and they have a loyalty card, which will get stamped every time you come in and order food. Eventually it leads towards a discount (I think he said $8) off of an order.
