"In the past, the idea of a vegan soul food restaurant might’ve been as unthinkable as clear roads on I-95. But since Germantown’s The Nile Cafe opened and started serving stew fish made with wheat and soy proteins, it’s clear we’ve reached a new day. This spot is Philly’s oldest vegan restaurant and makes perfectly spiced vegan jerk chicken with a meaty texture dripping with a sweet and spicy sauce." - candis mclean
