Food for the (Harlem) soul š„°ā£Ā {#ad}ā£
ā£
Thereās some new vegan comfort food in town so I grabbed my stretchy pants and headed on down to @harlemsoulldn! It’s near Old Street roundabout (on City Road) and is a huuuuuge venue!
Hereās what @thebigjolleyvegan & I ate and thought: ā£
ā£
š±Sassy Jax Taco w/ roast sassy jackfruit, guac, dry slaw & red pepper salsaā£
š°Ā£8.50ā£
āļø The jackfruit was well cooked and textures worked well but the jackfruit was marinaded in marmalade which doesnāt do it for me. It overpowered the dish. Would love BBQ flavours instead!ā£
āOrder Again? Yes, with changesā£
ā£ā£
š±ā£Maccy Vās – House vegan cheese sauce, maple roasted squash, grilled tomato & spinach, cheesy herb crumbā£
š°Ā£8.50ā£
āļøThe top layer was cheesy but not melted, the bottom layer was nice & creamy. The flavour of the sauce needed to be bolder and cheesier as it relied heavily on cracked black pepper. Iām not sure the tomato or squash added anythingā£
āOrder Again? ā£Noā£
ā£
š±Vegan seitan & waffles w/ maple syrupā£
š°Ā£12ā£
āļøThe āchickenā wasnāt like seitan Iād had before, it was more like stuffing in both texture & taste. This meant that it was more moist & quite herby. Almost like a vegan sausage rather than chicken. Loved the coating! ā£
āOrder Again? Yes, with changesā£
ā£
š± @movingmountainsfoods burger w/ dry slaw, beetroot aioli, vegan cheese, baby gem, tomato & vegan briocheā£
š°Ā£12.50ā£
āļøLoved the patty, aioli reminded me of cream cheese which I liked but was too thick for the burger. A BBQ sauce would worked betterā£
āOrder Again? Yes, with changesā£
ā£
š±The Harlem Soul fries w/ vegan mac, roasted jackfruit & tofu aioli ā£
š°Ā£9.50ā£
āļøThe mac worked better here as did the jackfruit but the marmalade flavour again overpowered the dish. Iām just not a marmalade fan! Would work better with BBQ flavour. Aioli adds something different, onions were too chewyā£
āOrder Again? Yes, with changesā£
