I met Moe and his Vegan Stops at the South Pasadena Farmer's Market (Thursdays in the mid afternoon until sundown). I am not even vegan or vegetarian so for many weeks, I passed right by without bothering. However, one day I decided to stop and pick up some babaganoush because I love that stuff and I also love saying babaganoush. Moe let me know I could pick up three dishes for a three dollar savings. Well, I already thought his price without the discount was stellar so I was sold! I tried the cauliflower with tahini, the eggplant with some sauce and I think red bell peppers and the hummus. Moe threw in a few extras for me since I was a first time customer. I am now a regular! What I do is I pick up 4-5 dishes and I eat it throughout the week during work-from-home days. It keeps me in the "safe" zone and not snacking on junk. The containers are freezer-friendly and also microwave safe. What a bonus! I feel so gut-good after a meal from vegan stops. And what is SO special about Moe in particular is that I lost sight of my young daughter while I was about the market. Moe spotted her and realized she was lost; he walked her to the information booth at the Farmer's Market and waited there with her until I found them. WOW!! This is the kind of upstanding man we want in our community. Thank you Moe. And...
Read moreThis amazing Syrian owned takeout is a must must try!
Vegan Stops serves totally delicious Middle eastern food that is totally vegan to take home and reheat. These are fully prepared meals/entrees at a fair price. There is NO DINING IN at this restaurant but don’t let it stop you.
The owners and everyone who worked here couldn’t have been more sweet and kind to us..
They even let us taste a few things before we ordered since it was our first time and we didn’t know what a few of the dishes were.
We ended up with 5 different good sized dishes for about $75.00 these were nice sized portions that 2 of us hungry adult guys ate for two nights in a row and were stuffed both meals so it was a great value !
What was also so amazing though was the taste. Everything was so fresh and wonderful I can’t say what I liked the best.. but I will say there was nothing I didn’t Love! The hummus, baba ganosh tasted like my mom’s old boyfriend from Syria used to make and the pasta with lentils was out of this world.
It’s about a 40 minute drive for me but I can’t wait to go back soon to...
Read moreThis is my first review for restaurants because I'm compelled to share my excitement! I'm always looking for high quality vegan food with ingredients that are whole foods and as clean as possible. So glad to find Vegan Stops! Every item on their menu is what I'd love to eat. We take home about 10 dishes and they are all amazing! Definitely coming back to load up a week's supply, and to try out every dish they offer (btw they have so many interesting flavored hummus and their pita chips are oil free). This place definitely lives up to the 5 star out of 200+ reviews! It's a family owned restaurant. The gentleman owner, Mo, is incredibly kind. He knows the ingredients of each dish in and out, he recommends which dishes go well together, he is so generous and genuine. In addition to the restaurant in Garden Grove (where we went), they are available in 25 farmers markets including Irvine Tustin and San Diego. If you care about vegan, freshly made, clean ingredients, and top notch customer service, this place is for you and...
