The Land of Kush

Yesterday was day 25 of not eating meat. Really couldn't find anything healthy to eat outside. Remembered years ago going to the Land of Kush. The food was just as good as it was back then.The whole place was a great vibe.My fiance & I was welcomed like family & greated also with fast service. The ribs gets me everytime alon with my favorite (Kale Salad). We even liked the smiles from the cashier & the preparer. Oh & don't let me talk about the potato salad (chef's kiss).We were Blessed to meet yet again one of the owners Ms.Naijha Brown. She treated us with much Love ❤️ She was such a warm soul We just appreciated the whole experience. This is the place to eat clean

Been coming to Land of Kush for many years. It's the best vegan soul food. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Their one entree w/ two sides option is always a favorite.

I love to make vegan macaroni and cheese.. I've been working on my recipe for a couple of years now. This macaroni and cheese is good don't get me wrong, but it's not the prettiest to look at. Sweet lady behind the counter gave me some curried gravy to put on it. Sounded strange but it really enhanced the flavor of the macaroni. I would definitely go back again for it. I got the greens they were pretty good. The potato salad... meh.

Everything was great awesome food and service! Only wish we lived closer!! You guys have been a longtime staple! Much love from PA!

Fantastic experience! Dunno what they put in those “crab cakes,” but they taste and feel like the real thing!! The collard greens and candied yams were on point too. And the sauces? Both the tartar sauce and mustard dip were so good I wanted them in a cup so I could just chug it. Highly recommend!

Two visits... 090925 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crab cakes, collard greens, and potato salad. EVERYTHING was delicious! I'm not vegan and must admit I was nervous about ordering the crab cakes, but they didn't disappoint at all! I wanted more! I will not hesitate to visit again. I'm looking forward to trying the Vish sandwich! 082825 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Collard greens 👍🏾 Yams 👍🏾 Potato salad 👍🏾 Mac & cheese 👎🏾 - It wasn't terrible, but I doubt I would order it again. Maybe it's an acquired taste since I'm not vegan. Ginger spice & Sorrell 👍🏾

I'm in Baltimore for the next few days and I was looking around for food near my hotel. I was thrilled to find this vegan place within walking distance. The food is incredible. I've found a lot of vegan places to be very hit or miss, but these guys HIT. Highly recommend even if you eat meat. I got a platter with ribs, mac and cheese, and cucumber and tomato salad. So much food. So gosh darn tasty.

A small place with big taste. I'm not vegan, but I love introducing this restaurant to true vegans. Seems it's the best kept secret in the vegan community. They are always friendly when customers come in. They have a great variety to their menu. And the art really enhances the atmosphere. Great for a quick take out meal. Best if you stay and enjoy.

This is a small family owned business that has some inside seating but not a lot. Most of the people that that I noticed coming in were ordering carry out. One wall is covered with pictures of celebrities that have stopped by and the employees let me know that there are several well known entertainers that stop there every time they are in town. The service was very good and the staff members were so accommodating and answered all of my questions. They gave their personal list of favorites and offered me recommendations. There was a young man working there that was very thoughtful and provided every condiment I asked for because I cannot eat my greens without vegan butter and hot sauce. The vegan fish was made from hearts of palm and I was so impressed with how good it was. It was seasoned beautifully and the texture of it was similar to that of a crab stick (if you know you know). There were a few other items on the menu that I want to try so I will definitely be back. Honestly, I would make the 50 minute drive again for the vegan fish alone.

This spot is close to our home and I saw it had good reviews so decided to check it out! It's small inside, but there is some seating if you choose to eat your food there as we did. The staff were very friendly and willing to answer questions. We ordered curry chickun, baked mac and cheese, and lentil patties. It was a short wait and our food was ready. My bf liked his lentil patties and I liked the taste I had. The mac and cheese is of course different from typical mac and cheese, but I still liked the flavor and texture of it. I loved the chickun curry! I didn't miss meat in this at all; the flavors and textures were awesome. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I still enjoy adding meatless meals and more veggies to my diet. I'll definitely return to this spot for more delicious food!

Cool, funky spot that serves some delicious vegan food. I ordered the BBQ Ribs, collard greens and mac & cheese. All were delicious and filling. I'm happy I stopped here for lunch. Service was friendly and fast. I had my entire meal in less than five minutes.

She gave us a straw when we asked please for a straw. There is mac and cheese. Awesome! We went here for a date in Baltimore.

Excellent food. The ribs are amazing and healthy. Love the cabbage. Very clean, friendly staff

Updated Review! I returned recently to The Land of Kush and I had the absolute pleasure of trying the vegan crab cake wrap. I was blown away! The flavors were perfectly balanced--savory, satisfying, and every bit a testament to the culinary magic happening in their kitchen by the young lady with the loc's who gave me the warmest greeting. The texture of the crab cake was spot-on, giving that authentic "crabby" feel without any of the guilt. The freshness of the wrap ingredients complemented the crab cake beautifully, making for a meal that's as vibrant as it is delicious. If you're looking for a spot that knows how to elevate plant-based cuisine to an art form, look no further. The Land of Kush is officially one if my go-to for amazing vegan eats. Don't walk--run to try this masterpiece! been Stamped by Ai.... #stampedbyAi #trustedsource #trustedadvisor #trustedreview

I wish I could give a separate rating for food and then customer service. Whenever I visit Baltimore I have a handful of restaurants I love visiting. My most recent visit to Baltimore I was craving some good hearty vegan food and decided to make a visit to The Land of Kush. The aesthetic was just as culturally pleasing as I remembered. The young man at the counter took my order accurately but that was the extent of good customer service. It seemed as if he was preoccupied during the visit. He made multiple trips to his vehicle which sat across the street. I planned to sit inside the restaurant to eat my food, however, he packed my food to go. Even on my receipt it said "For Here". Once my food order was complete he signaled for me to step to the counter. I asked for plastic utensils. He said it was at the bottom of the bad under the food. How would I know to look under the to go containers for utensils? I asked for more utensils since I had a lot of food and I now have to leave the restaurant because my food was packed to go. While there were other customers coming in but the customer service was not that great. Once group of customers ended up leaving. The food never disappoints. I ordered the BBQ rib tips, mac and cheese, potato salad, collard greens, crab cakes, and the black eyed pea fritters. Everything tasted amazing but I think my favorite were the vegan crab cakes!!!!

If Vegan food tastes better than the original counterparts, it'll be easy to go all out vegan. Upon entering this amazing establishment, we were greeted by the owner while classic hip hop music from the early and mid 90's was playing. And then our food came.......we ordered the crab cakes, the ribs, cornbread, and the chicken salad wrap. We got yams and maccaroni as the sides and lemonade and water to drink...Impressed and please are two words I rarely use when describing food, but when you put soul into vegan food, or any food for that matter, it shows. The crab cakes were the show stopper!! I don't know what vegetables one uses to recreate the taste and texture of a crab cake, but hands down, the best crab cakes I've ever eaten and that's regular or vegan for that matter. The ribs had such a sweet and smokey flavor along with the peppers....chefs kiss. The chicken salad wrap was very flavorful, I can't stop praising the food and the people making it happen. I will say that we will definitely return. Bravo Bellissimo

So as a vegan this place is vegetarian and I feel like I am out of state and I can tell this place needs to understand vegans better bc the name doesn't live up to the standards of vegan cuisine and lady said it was , then change the name if all is vegan . Potato salad got to go and was sweet wow like I am eating sugar with celery and purple onion and just very creamy mustard mayonnaise and paprika so not great combo for that choice . Potatoes are not fully boiled to bite and hard to the bite . Very delicious others say but I don't like it not cooked well .

I really appreciate the variety of vegan options at The Land of Kush, and the flavors are definitely soulful. However, I find the food to be consistently very heavy. Every time I dine here, I leave feeling like I've just eaten a full Thanksgiving meal at my grandmother's house. While I know that's the appeal for some, I personally prefer vegan food that feels a bit lighter and more balanced. I'd love to see a few options on the menu that offer that kind of variety.

Sooo good. We got the bbq ribs and the vegan crab cake. Both delicious. It's also affordable. You can get an entree and two sides for like 18 dollars. There's also black art on the walls. Strong recommend !

Never disappoints. Always fresh, and delicious food. Great service and vibes. Always doing pick up. Order ahead to escape the line.

I eat all the things, so it's important that the food is good good. I was super excited with each bite I had here and will definitely be telling all my friends about this one. Order: Chickpea burger (my favorite) Cucumber Tomato Salad Chickun Tenders (the dipping sauce on this is addictive) Sesame Spinach Vish sandwich Jollof Rice with Curry on top (a secret recommendation from the staff there) Sweet potato cake We got enough for 3 people--2 platters, a vish sandwich, and dessert--for about $45 which was awesome.

The food was good. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The food didn't take long to be delivered. It's a small spot but there is street parking.

Best vegan food in the city! I come here about twice a month when I don't have the energy to cook and want something that's moderately healthy and positively delicious and filling.

I've been a patron for this restaurant establishment for many years Today I picked up a veggie bean burger, kale, and spinach Also, some sorrel The sorrel was on point as was the food. Thank you for friendly and efficient service.

Yet another hidden gem in Baltimore! If you are vegan/gluten free, this spot is absolutely phenomenal. I got the gluten free chickun tenders - which were breaded to perfection. If I ever have a craving for breaded chicken, I will absolutely head here from now on. Also got the potato salad, which was scrumptious! (Photo attached.) My friend got Buffalo chickun with Mac & cheese and also loved it. I haven't yet eaten inside the restaurant (my order was to-go). But, I'm excited to either keep ordering delivery, and/or go in person too!

My son is vegan and he loved the food. I tried everything myself and was truly surprised how the curry and the ribs tasted like meat. The sweet potatoes were really good aced they kale was delicious. A strong garlic taste in the kale. The service was fast and friendly and the ambience is very casual.

I have yet to have an experience at Land of Kush that is anything less than the best. When my friends came into town for the Orioles game, Land of Kush was the obvious choice for where to go for Sunday brunch. The inside seating in Land of Kush is a little tight, however when we came at 11am there was plenty of window seating available so I got to dine in with my friends. Not only does Land of Kush offer some of the best food in Baltimore, but the owners are also pinnacles in the vegan community. They started Black Veg Society, Maryland Vegan Restaurant Month, and donate fresh produce to those that need it on Monday's. This business gives so much to Baltimore, and it gives me joy to support them. Sunday is the only day that they serve brunch. I ordered a strawberry pancake with vegan sausage and potatoes. The pancake is so crispy! I love that the pancake can tolerate a good pour of syrup without turning into mush. This pancake had huge chunks of strawberries which were such a treat to enjoy. I loved the flavor and texture of this pancake. The vegan sausage was my favorite sausage I have ever had. The inside was nice and soft, it wasn't greasy, and the flavor was spot on to a maple breakfast sausage. The sausage also had some peppers and potatoes with it which I loved and help lighten the heavy side. The potatoes were amazing. They are not a hash brown. They are live crispy smashes potatoes. I loved the seasoning and also how they were both soft with crispy edges. This meal was $15.20 and I could only eat half of my meal before getting full. I took the leftovers home to my husband and he devoured it! He told me I was the best wife for bringing home Land of Kush. We love this business and the food so much. Thank you Land of Kush for your delicious menu and service to the vegan community.

Really the best part of this meal was the strong spiced ginger drink. Everything else was unfortunately underwhelming. The lentil patties were crispy but shared this overly vinegary quality with the collard greens. This worked for the greens but definitely not for the lentil patties. They lacked savoriness for a main course. The mac and cheese had no crust and tasted mainly of nutritional yeast. I felt nice and healthy afterward, but not really flavor-sated.

Some of the best vegan food we have ever had. Super friendly staff. Casual, friendly neighborhood vibe.

Stop what you are doing and head to this spot! I was visiting the area and came across this local vegan restaurant and decided to stop in. Thank God I did. Everything I had was amazing from the Mac N "Cheese" to the curry "chicken" was incredible. I have to say, the coconut curry cabbage was THE BEST. The wonderful woman who took care of us emanated such a sweet, caring, and loving vibe to EVERYONE who came in. I will be returning once more before I head back home. Great experience

Definitely my favorite vegan food spot in Baltimore! The Mac is good and I love the cucumber salad, but the true stand out are the wraps! I personally LOVE the crab cake wrap!!!!! The lentil and chickpea wrap are also incredible!!! What I love about Kush is that they prioritize vegetables! So many vegan spots forget this! All food is made with love and the people working there are kind!!! See you soon, Kush!!!

Food was so delicious!! Had the ribs and two sides. Portions were generous. Highly recommend giving this a try.

nice staff, he was really helpful being 1st time in a vegan restaurant. He gave me a nice sample platter. I got the curry chicken platter. Next time, I'm getting the rib platter. parking is okay.

I've had several lunches catered by Land of Kush and it has been more than amazing every time. And just recently made my way in to the storefront for the first time. Honestly, everything I've tried has been a win! My recommendations is to go all in on the sides - sooo delicious! And on top of that, Vegan? But if you aren't vegan, you won't even know you are eating vegan... it truly is a work of art. The chickpea curry is amazing. The mac & cheese is fantastic. The greens are delicious. The cornbread... don't even get me started. YUM. And thanks to their very kind annual birthday treat, I've now tried their desserts - I stopped in with my birthday coupon to get a free dessert, couldn't choose between the two and ended up purchasing a pumpkin spice cake and a cookies and creme cake. BOTH ARE FANTASTIC! Ok, food is obviously a 5 for me. Now the people - well, they get a 6/5! :) So friendly every time I've ordered and in the store, I was greeted with the warmest welcome, things moved quickly, and everyone seemed great. I highly recommend Land of Kush!

I have been eating land of Kush since I went to college in Baltimore. I remember distinctly the takeout vegan Mac and cheese I would get frequently! I finally went back after moving back and got some takeout. It was easy to find street parking across the street. the service was speedy prepare my order! I got some yams, Mac and cheese, and bbq ribs! The ribs were so flavorful!! the mac and cheese is just as good! I added a little hot sauce at home which was great! I look forward to trying more of the menu as I'm able! as a vegetarian, it's so exciting to be included when eating good soul food! Also-- you get SO much food for a good price! I ate this for at least 2 meals-- so it's so worth it!

The food is incredibly fresh and tasty, the service friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere welcoming! I was in town for business, and a friend brought me here. So thankful he did! If you're vegan as I am, and want a fantastic, fresh new meal don't walk, but run to The Land of Kush! Thank you gentlemen!

The Land of Kush gives you an entirely different perspective from what you would traditionally expect out of a vegan restaurant. Vegan soul food is now a part of my diet. The food here is flavorful and healthy. The staff here are friendly and allow you to sample most of their dishes. My favorites include the KUSH BBQ "Ribs", the Curry ChickUn, the Live Kale salad and the Pina Colada'd Dream Smoothie. I have also tried the mac and cheese, this was a bit too sweet for me. The portion sizes are big and the prices are reasonable. I suggest calling ahead to place your order. Sometimes they are out of items, especially closer to closing time. Seating is limited inside the restaurant. I highly recommend the Land of Kush if you are looking for some good vegan food.

First time trying it and it was ehhh. The sweet potatoes tasted like can sweet potatoes. The Mac and cheese looked super old. It wasn't creamy at all and the cream look like it was curdling. The ribs were delicious though!

Business meeting, lunch time. The gent I was meeting suggested this place and I knew I had it bookmarked for a while in my Yelp list so we met here. Right in downtown Baltimore. Street parking. Quaint, black-owned family restaurant specializing in vegetarian fair, exclusively. Warm friendly interiors in need of a bit of an update especially the roof/light fixture area but the food more than compensates for the decor. Black art on the wall all around, clean [unisex] bathroom. Just one. R&B playing in the background. I had a veggie wrap and a cup of sorrel. The wrap was chock full of bell peppers, spinach, onions, nicely seasoned and juicy. The sorrel was good. Not as good as mine, but good. Guest had macaroni & cheese, cabbage and jollof rice... And a pineapple juice. Everything totalled $28. We sat on window stools overlooking Eutaw Street... Making sure the aggressive parking enforcement people weren't up to any shenanigans with our vehicles. I tasted the vegan ribs too, btw. One rib actually - à la "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" and Chris Rock. It tasted just like BBQ glazed pork surprisingly, although made of tofu. It's always enjoyable when restaurants are generous with samples. Two thumbs up for that here. I'm really not a veggie entree-eating dude but this food is actually pretty good. Not cheap though. Eating super healthy is often expensive, as we all know. I'd come back here though.

Amazing vibes the second we walked in. Quintessentially Black with amazing food. I loved the combo of curry chikun and jollof rice! Love love love

Ok, everything I had was phenomenal. Chickpea burger, collard greens, and jollof rice. It was hard to choose because everything sounded delicious. I also had a lovely green smoothie that I was too full to drink but I did anyways because it was so good!

I was starving after not eating since the night prior due to a procedure. Since I was in the Baltimore area, I decided to try their infamous vegan restaurants. After reviewing comments and wanting to step outside of my ordinary vegan cuisine, I decided on The Land of Kush. They have a great reputation for having the best vegan soul food. Being from the great state of North Carolina, I thought I'd put that to the test. The is limited parking so please ensure that you are parked on the right side or pay metered parking. I was promptly greeted by staff, however, being an art enthusiast I decided to take a look at the fabulous pieces. As I was looking at the wall art, I couldn't help but groove to the neo soul genre of music playing in the background. I eventually ended up at the counter to request a menu. Decided to check in on yelp and to my surprise a 10% off coupon popped up. Yeeeeaaaahhhh for me. I show the guy at the register. Asked for suggestions to order. Ended up with rib tips, Mac & cheese, collard greens, chicken tenders, and crabless cakes (don't judge me). Oh I forgot, I ordered carrot cake but left it at the restaurant. The food was delicious. The Mac & cheese could use some smoke vegan Gouda but that's just my opinion. Overall things were delicious. Special thanks to Karon and Derrick for ensuring that I had a great dinner. One last thing, this place has a rewards/ points system which is great for locals and those that frequent the restaurant to earn money off.

Crab cakes are so freaking good! Ribs are also delicious and saucy. Good fast service and chill ambiance.

food was incredible - really loved the vegan crab cake, jolloff rice, and greens. what really made this place though was how lovely the owners. highly recommended.

I am not vegan. My partner and I came to Baltimore and were told to make sure we have the crab cakes. When looking up "crab cakes" on a travel app, this was one of the first places to pop up. It looked local and loved so we decided to try it. We didn't read thoroughly enough to know it was vegan before we got in. Park on the street, fairly easy to find a spot. We walked in and there was such a warm welcome. They asked if we were picking up or dining in, and we said we were dining in. The gentleperson at the cash registry asked if we wanted to try anything. We asked to try the kush ribs, mac and cheese, and the crab cakes. It's like everything we tried was just as good or better than the previous one. We ordered a few things off the menu to try. Crab cakes have this yummy curry taste that I love! The Kush ribs (we had to ask if they were sure they were vegan) were juicy, packed with flavor, and just made my tummy happy. The mac and cheese was such a good compliment to the kush ribs although I could order them a la carte. We also had a sesame ginger side which was a little saltier than I like (and I like salt a lot). The cucumber salad was also a bit underwhelming but the caveat here is I don't really care for cucumbers and would rather never eat tomatoes... so take that into consideration. They happened to have some hibiscus tea which I was overjoyed to indulge in. We really loved this place, loved the food, loved the art on the walls, loved the service and would absolutely go back.

The customer service was great and it was definitely a great experience for my first time visiting.

Everything on the menu is great! I was in town for 6 days and ate here 3 of them! The portions are generous and I was able to eat on meals twice at times. While here, we had the Ribs, mac and cheese, collared greens, cabbage, potato salad, crab cakes (with yum yum sauce), curry chicken, sweet potatoes, and cinnamon roll. Favorite was the ribs! They were the best vegan ribs I've ever had. The mac was so tasty as well. I don't know how they did the cheese, but they definitely got the flavors down. The crab cakes were something I was craving all week so I'm glad I got them from here as the taste was amazing! They were like muffins in size and inside it actually looked like there was crab in there! And the yum yum sauce, even tho it didn't need it, gave a nice touch to the cake. We heated the cinnamon roll up when we got to our hotel and it too was sweet and delicious. Overall, I wish I could take this restuarant back to Atlanta with me so they could cater all my holiday meals. If you are in the Baltimore area TAKE ADVANTAGED of this place. They cook like they are cooking for family. And the drink's are refreshing as well. I had a lemonade mixed with sorrell and it was the perfect ending to my meal.

The food is always delicious. The other day I had the bbq ribs, macaroni & cheese and Jake salad. The Land of Kush never disappoints!

The service is good and cashier is always nice and gets through the 2 or 3 ahead of me quickly each time I visit. The mac n chz is a household favorite. The crab cakes are very good and have great texture. The ribs had an undertone or aftertaste I can't explain- but I didn't care for it. Everyone else loved it! The chickpea burger was a little too soft / mushy texture- again apparently I'm the only one with the texture problem because it's a household favorite. So- try them out and see what you think. There are lots of options to choose from!

I've heard many great things about this restaurant, so I'm glad I finally got the chance to visit. They were unfortunately out of their crab cakes, which I was really looking forward to, so I instead ordered the bbq ribs wrap. It was very good, and I'm glad I ordered it. My food came out in a very timely manner, but I was disappointed with the lack of friendliness from the staff. The customer service was just lacking... but it could've been just a bad day, I don't know. I'll definitely return for a visit, but I hope the customer service is better next time.

I was very excited to try land of Kush after asking other vegans for their recommendations. The inside of the "ribs" was great but the BBQ sauce was too sweet. The mac and cheese was pretty good but the flavor was a bit off (maybe too fermented?), the rice and beans were very hard and grainy. I had the strawberry cheesecake because the dessert I wanted was out and it was a bit grainy and underwhelming. I really wanted to love this place but sadly was underwhelmed.

LIP! SMACKIN! GOOD! Let me be honest, I know that I am vegan but I am hesitant when it comes to trying vegan food because it really does matter who is cooking in the back. They put they FOOT in that food. Lordt! All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean. It was a bit smaller than I anticipated but I think it plays strongly because it makes the atmosphere for warm and intimate. We were able to get our food right away and it was nice and hot. I was even able to get my friend who is a picky eater and has never had vegan food to pay compliments to the chef. Can we talk about the price for a second. I love the fact this restaurant gives you a mountain of food for a verrrrry good price. Most times, I feel like I am being robbed for what I am getting. $30 bucks for both of the trays of food combined. Absolutely well worth it. I will be coming back in the future to get more food.

Been craving this food since I left. Ordered one of everything and ate for three days. I wish I could fly back to Baltimore just for the hot wings, potato salad and mac. Everyone was so nice and even tho good food takes time this was out and hot in about 15mins. The cafe is super comfortable and full of memorabilia and art. I'd go back and sit at the bar and start with kale salad and work my way down the menu again. Thanks for feeding me so well while I was living in a hotel. Real vegan grub!

Beautiful vegan restaurant. The meal is delicious, has a ton of flavor and beautiful textures, and there are many options to choose from. It doesn't taste like typical vegan food. Their "Curry Chickun" and barbecue ribs are definitely two of my favorites. You should definitely look them up, show your support, and occasionally eat vegan. It's time that carnivores, vegans, and vegetarians have additional options in addition to the wonderful service and good food they offer. I appreciate you and send you all my love. Since I haven't tried everything, I'm giving them four stars. Updates coming shortly

The food has changed recently I've been coming here for over 10yrs. I just ordered my usual after about a year hiatus from my last experience. The food definitely has a new chef/cook who is different from the usually delicious food. I would say from 9/10 to 5/10 . The vegan crab cakes have improved! But my favorite potato salad in the world is gone!!! The kale salad is fair compared to the old. I will miss the potato salad though!

10 out of 10 top spots I've had a vegan meal from!!! It was scary how good the food was. Gratitude and a big Asé

I am not a vegan, but this was some of the tastiest food I've had in a long time. We ordered 2 platters. The platters consist of 1 entree and 2 sides. We got crab cakes, ribs, jollof rice, greens, sweet potatoes, and mac and cheese. Everything tasted good and I will definitely be back. If you are on the fence about going here, let me help you over that fence by telling you to go, it's worth your time.
