An Honest Review:
Shahar Café- the first memory of this restaurant which springs to mind is the texture and taste of their vegan chicken. You would expect Louisville, KY to have some pretty good vegan fried chicken. They do. This place is the spot for the vegan chicken. The menu here is focused mainly on traditional American fast food, with some modified healthier options. This place has a very youthful and playful energy- the outside is painted bright yellow- which is a bold statement in downtown, Louisville. The vibe is so different from the colonial masterpieces that sit just a stroll down the street- a reminder that to have differences brings interest to life and to the human eye and spirit. As an artist myself, I love that the tables were painted upon, the walls drawn upon, and for there to be a colorful inspiration in the atmosphere and décor. We took the food to go and ate it in my car for time reasons, but next time I am in Louisville, I will have to come back and sit down to enjoy a vegan latte at one of those sweet little tables. Being in Kentucky, you HAVE to have fried chicken- especially plant-based chicken. As previously mentioned, this is a great chicken spot for vegans.
We had a lot of food earlier in the day, and this spot was a last minute find before making it home after a few days of eating and driving- so, we didn't try many items. But, the items we did try were great. I tried their Chick'n Sando, and my boyfriend tried their Chick'n Wings. Hands down, their breading and vegan chicken texture was so spot on- even when I was full, I kept coming back for more bites. I really enjoyed the authentic feel of their sandwich- the bun tasted like a biscuit, the spices reminded me of KFC (much better, though), the pickles and sauce were just right. The wings were just as good- they were scrumptious, juicy little morsels of spicy, authentic tasting vegan wings. There is a lot of possibilities for this small place.
What we tried:
Chick'n Sando
Chick'n Wings
What we plan on trying in the future:
Buffalo Mac
Hamburger Helper
Fried Shrimp
Loaded Stack
Philly Cheese Steak
Mac & Cheeze
Shrimp Po' Boy
Cinnamon Rolls
