Serves meat, vegan options available. Its UBC outpost offers quick meals with labelled vegan options. Get salad, rice bowl, or wrap and one of three vegan mains: fried cauliflower, falafel, or lentil stew. Topping choices include pickled vegetables, and hummus. Order at the counter. Gets very busy at noon, especially from September to April during school semesters. Open Mon-Fri 11:30am-10:00pm, Sat-Sun 11:30am-9:00pm.

Hidden gem - Edit
Way exceeded my expectations. I got the vegan sampler plate.
Read moreFalafel was perfectly done. Light and crispy but not too oily. Texture was just top notch. Hard to find well done falafel anywhere. Cauliflower was good, but I love all cauliflower. Good sauces and nice moist rice.
If I could order anything again, I would get a pita wrap with the falafel, cauliflower, lentils, and red sauce.
We visited on a Saturday afternoon in summer, so there were only a few other groups and the food was out in less than five minutes.
I would definitely come here again!

Good food, slow service and $$$ - Edit
They have lots of vegan options (falafel bowl is my favourite) and the pickles and hummus are delicious, but, like all things on UBC campus, it’s a bit overpriced. Also, the service can sometimes be very slow.

Great hearty vegan option on UBC campus near bus loop - Edit
Delicious food right near the UBC main bus loop. The falafel and fried cauliflower are great, and there are more veg options each time I go. Clearly labelled vegan items. One downside is that it seems like the meat and veg items are very close together with possible contamination, and employees do not change gloves between handling meat and veg items.
Read morePros: Great value, Very hearty food, Expaning veg items
Cons: Meat and veg proximate, contamination likely
