Update, 12/9/22. Just a heads up, they changed menu but it’s not on website yet so call before ordering take-out. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon! Previous review from 2020. I live in Newton, I’m vegan, and eat here often! Still has in-person dining, even during the pandemic. Take-out is great. It’s vegetarian but most dishes are vegan or can be made vegan. My meat-eating friends love this place! All food is excellent. Friendly staff. Nice, comfortable place. Great juices and vegan desserts too! Updated from previous review on 2020-12-31

We split the Gobi Manchurian and the samosas I had been craving samosas and both appetizers were excellent. I had the chick'n picatta for an entrée; huge dish with tons of sauce, capers, and mushroom, and a very filling soy cutlet. Staff were very nice and attentive on a fairly busy evening. Good prices for the portions $12 for the Gobi, which I thought was a little high for cauliflower, $7 for two samosas, and then $20 for the entrees. My one complaint is that though it is nice that they label which wines are vegan, it's pretty sad to see one white and two reds and the rest not vegan. I wasn't feeling a chardonnay or a red blend, so I passed

My family lives in nyc where there is no shortage of delicious vegan food, and when we visit Newton to see my husband’s family Walnut Grille is our spot! The food is INCREDIBLE!! The chicken picatta is what dreams are made of (even our non-veg relatives love it and can’t understand how it looks and tastes so much like chicken). We didn’t think anything could be better until we tried the nutty tofu! The red thai curry and the marsala are also delicious. We are big fans! Updated from previous review on 2020-08-18

They're so nice here! Great place to bring non-vegan parents for a quiet brunch or dinner.
