"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
"Vegan soul food shines at the longstanding casual Germantown restaurant serving cold-pressed juices and vegan entrees like barbecue “chicken,” alongside collard greens, cabbage, and plantains. Make sure to get a slice of the layer cakes or a scoop of non-dairy ice cream too." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The Nile Cafe in Germantown is touted as the longest running vegan restaurant in Philly, making all the jerk chicken legs, pepper steak, and macaroni and cheese that a vegan heart could desire. It’s vegan soul food that even the most carnivorous of eaters can enjoy, especially with a side of cheesecake or coconut milk ice cream. Order online for takeout and local delivery." - Ernest Owens
