iloveall of these people saying "since it opened in 2000 or since it opened a few years ago"!
i had my first date there in 1993; i had a market spice tea and for years i would go back to pick up a bag of that tea. i am sure it was not new at that time. so, yea, people - this place is not that new.
as a vegetarian since i was 12 (1989), i can say regina has often been lacking in vegetarian restaurants. (i still hurt over the loss of heliotrope to this day!!)
i do not remember when 13th avenue started serving vegetarian food (i can say they did not in 1993)... and i do not even know how many times this place has changed hands, so it is always fresh and different depending on who just took over the reins.
the bowls are a direct rip-off from fresh (restaurant in toronto), bit is it all good - ilovethem!!! :) i am soooo happy we can get them in regina!!
i will say that i have experienced the negative customer service that many people have posted about here. i have seen some of the most atrocious customer service in this restaurant over the years. i also had some bad experiences with the food not being as tasty as other times.
it has been awhile, though, so perhaps new owners have taken over again and the staff are more friendly.
however, i just called in a big order for delivery and the bank machine was not working and i had to reduce my order to match the $20 in my wallet. disappointing.
provided the current owners can commit to employing good staff with kind hearts who provide good customer service.... (and make sure their bank machine works!) ... and the food quality stays high ... this place will, for me, always be a regina staple and near and dear to my heart.
