Nana’s Rooted — Restaurant in Tampa

I really wanted to love this place but it was hard for me to find anything good to say in regards of the food I ordered. I placed an order this past week for their BBQ cauliflower wingz and fries When I first took a bite of my wingz the flour for the batter was still raw.. like I’m saying the white flour powder was falling out of the wingz, the cauliflower itself was cold on the inside but the outside was fried? So idk what happened. Then I opened the box for my fries that was supposed to come with sauce, sauce was never in the bag & the fries were OVERLY seasoned. I love me some seasoning but that was overpowering to the warm fries I received. I did not eat any of my food unfortunately but I’ll try again one day, Their smoothie tho is pretty good I solid 8/10, I’d go again just for their drinks.

Many chefs are considered to be artists in their own right. However, very few are as passionate in their craft of creating a clean, plant-based dining experience, as Chef Anisa of “Nana’s” on East...

If I could give Nana’s more than 5 stars I would! This gem is owned by a beautiful hardworking mother who pours herself into her craft. She’s not only a talented chef but a vibrant force in the community — showing up, giving back, & spreading light wherever she goes. I’ve been coming to Nana since she was doing her pop up markets. Since then her food has only elevated & left me in awe. I’ve catered her for every special event I’ve hosted & let me tell you… more than half of the people were not vegan & they left no crumbs! If you’re looking for a spot to grab vegan nourishment that is of quality & fulfillment head on over. I would recommend something specific but everything will...
