" Dish: Welcome Plate Baba’s Vegan Cafe specializes in the kind of plant-based food that doesn’t pretend to be meat. And their rainbow-colored welcome plate has every kind of crunchy or creamy sensation you could possibly want in a plate of food. It’s essentially a vegan soul food sampler platter reworked with notably fresh vegetables, and it’s one of our favorite meals in South LA. The plate comes with baked mac and cheese topped with crispy fried cauliflower, plump black beans with rice, crunchy lentil fritters, and collard greens. They also serve Jamaican patties, smoothies, and a bunch of other healthy stuff on the menu. " - nikko duren, kat hong
