"SoulKofa Vegan Health Food is the real deal. This spot brings the full soul food vibe without the meat, and you honestly don’t miss it. The menu is stacked: • Jerk “chicken” (soy-based) that’s seasoned right and hits the spice. • Mock oxtail made from jackfruit — tender, flavorful, and legit comforting. • Stew “chicken” (also soy) with a rich, savory sauce. • Fried oyster mushrooms that crunch like chicken. • Fried drumsticks that look and feel like the real thing. • Sides: rice & beans, mac & cheese with that golden top, roasted potatoes, candied yams, cabbage, broccoli in garlic butter sauce, and a green medley (spinach + kale + garlic). Everything tastes homemade but elevated. The greens are garlicky, the mac is creamy, the jackfruit oxtail could fool a carnivore. Portions are hearty and the staff makes you feel like family. If you’re vegan (or just curious), this is a Brooklyn gem. Soul food with no compromise. 235 Malcolm X Blvd, Brooklyn"

"Depending on what you’re ordering food is made fresh to order. I cannot say enough about the chef who made me ital soup upon request. It was so delicious and I saw him pound the dumplings by hand right there. That alone impressed me but my son’s burger and fresh cut in our face fries were delicious as well. If you want good, authentic, fresh food with great service go on and stop by Soulkofa and remember that good things take time. I’ll be back tomorrow for the rest of that soup because I’m sitting here upset that I didn’t get the large."

"I’m not even vegan but the food here is incredible. I had never tried jackfruit but the oxtail plate with all the sides was as delicious (possibly even better, honestly) as the actual meat version at other non-vegan soul food spots nearby. I walk by this place all the time and have never gone in. I’m so impressed and will be back. The owner is also extremely kind and generous. These are the kind of neighborhood spots that deserve recognition and support!"
