This place is a sham. I confirm what other reviewers wrote, it's not all vegan, in fact it's not even mostly vegan, and the name Sham Vegan Kitchen doesn't appear anywhere in the restaurant, on the menu or on the sign outside; it only appears on the website.
I was seated, and thought I would stay anyway when I found out through an awkward exchange that it wasn't a vegan restaurant. I ordered from the vegan part of the menu. The person taking my order kept making jokes that weren't funny like "the water is vegan." I don't think he was mocking me, but I dont really know.
As I waited for my food I noticed how unsettled, confused and uncomfortable I felt. Do I really want to drop $30 on dinner here, I wondered... I didn't so I just got up and left before my food came without telling anyone I was leaving; I had never done thar before anywhere. But I don't owe them the courtesy of an explaination. All I had was the vegan water so I didn't even leave a tip. I felt deceived....

If it weren't for the price and the mis-advertisement I would give it 3 stars. The cost and quality cannot justify any...

I went here with my mother on an early Sunday evening. My mom ordered the chicken dish. I order the peas rice, okra, and garlic naan for the table. As a plant based eater, I ordered the vegetarian kafta. Woah. The okra is soooo good. The rice was fresh. The naan was perfect. The bread not too thick and not too crunchy. Just a perfectly cooked naan. I highly recommend this place. A nice more upscale but relaxed...
