There vegan chicken sandwich is dynamite. The cole slaw on the sandwich is off the hook and the perfect compliment wit the crunch of the vegan sandwich. I'd go back any time!

Non-intimidating vegan food. Staff are super friendly! All was good. Would definitely re-eat. Small place but spacious. Perk: Food hall was shared with Valhalla Bakery at the time (vegan sweets ) Plus there's a cute little garden outside

They recently remodeled and it looks fantastic. I do miss the local business plants, clothing, and jewelry. They said they will bring it back after the remodel. I love supporting small businesses. I had the DFC bowl which was fantastic. It was full of flavor and I can't believe everything is vegan! It's a great place to come to eat before going to the bars and southern nights. They're open late, and have a nice outside patio when the weather is cooler. The food takes a while to make so be sure to have some time to wait. Overall it's really good. The prices are fair because the quality and ingredients are so good. Will be back in the future with my vegan and vegetarian friends!

I'm not a vegan and an ardent carnivore, but I have friends who are vegan that are coming to visit, so my wife and I wanted to test out a few spots! This was our first, and my first experience at a vegan restaurant. I can say, this place is amazing! Great flavors, great atmosphere, and definitely impressed with their ability to make southern comfort food vegan and keep it delicious and reminiscent of its non-vegan counterpart. We'll be back again soon, for sure!!

Dharma is for sure one of my favorite vegan spots in Orlando! It is full of items that you literally won't believe don't use animal products. I got the Nashville "Hawt" chicken sandwich, and it had such great flavors and a good kick to it. The garlic Mac and cheese was amazing, but it is definitely heavy on the garlic, so use caution. I was obsessed with the Valhalla bakery desserts too! The chocolate cupcake was so rich and sweet Check out my TikTok @cfomoneyfoproblems for a full review!

First of all, hands down one of my favorite eateries in Central Florida! Seriously, great food, especially if you're thinking of and/or craving comfort foods like mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, biscuits, etc. If you want to know how to really do it right, get a DFC Bowl with garlic Mac n cheese (omg big pieces of roasted garlic make it so drool worthy!) - I mean, their traditional Mac n cheese is still an amazing option also - and add a biscuit on the side! Thank me later or not, maybe act like I didn't just drop this gem on you! It's ok, just enjoy it! And if you have a ridiculous sweet tooth like myself, they've got those at Market on South, as well! You cannot go wrong here! Tell them Tiffany sent you! They don't know me personally, and will have no idea who you're talking about, but I like the way it sounds! Enjoy!

This has been my favorite southern food spot since I visited/moved in 2017. This time around I noticed some changes to the menu and got two of my favorites, the biscuits and gravy with grits and the pulled jackfruit on Texas toast (I usually get fried green tomato) with bbq cauliflower. Texas toast, grits, and cauliflower were just as good as I remembered! All worth the visit! The only disappointment was the biscuits which weren't as buttery and flaky as before. It was also a super long wait for these two items and the biscuit felt cold and hard when I got it so I pretty much ate the sides and figured I'd re bake the biscuits at home to see if it would be better. But considering the wait time and that we ate the biscuit as soon as we arrived, it's quite disappointing how hard it was, especially when I take visiting friends and family here. Otherwise, the grits are ALWAYS a solid staple and the flash fried bbq cauliflower are probably the best around! Just crispy flash fried cauliflower with a yummy sauce, so never a soggy batter.

This place was SO GOOD that we actually came twice in one weekend! Good vegan food is hard to come by, but as a non-vegan, even I was duped by this food! You can even seen from the pictures that this food looks as regular as real. And it was all delicious! The first meal we had was the DFC and then we came back and had the dharma dogs. Each meal was a lot of food and left us very satisfied. There is a parking lot in the front and back. There is also seating in the front and in a private garden in the back. Save room for the homemade vegan desserts from varhalla!

I stopped at Dharma Fine Vittles because I knew I was going to be hungry after my flight and I wanted vegan food. After searching Yelp, I decided to try Dharma because of the great reviews and it was in the same direction I was driving towards. Dharma did not disappoint AT ALL. The staff was extremely helpful with recommendations. I ordered the Nashville Hawt with a side of traditional mac & cheese, all recommended by the staff. Everything was absolutely delicious. When ordering, I spotted a vegan peanut butter donut in the window begging for me to take it home. The donut was absolutely delicious as well. The staff was friendly and even intervened when another customer was not socially distancing (much appreciated). For (vegan) fast food, it was a bit pricey, but it was all absolutely delicious. I would definitely go again and recommend to others.

Let's start with the negative: it took over 40 minutes for my meal to come out. Positive: the staff gave us free drinks to compensate for the wait which gave me the chance to try humble bumble kombucha- a must try. It's smooth, sweet and tasty. Food: I ordered the fried green tomato sandwich with brocollini and the orange bird with a side of Buffalo Mac. The fried green tomato sandwich was amazing. Super flavorful, tons of texture and filling without feeling heavy. The broccolini was heavy on the garlic (as was a lot of the other dishes) but it wasn't overwhelming. The pulled jackfruit was sooo good. It's unbelievable that I wasn't eating pulled chicken. The sauce was good and the slaw was the perfect addition to cut through the softness of the other parts of the sandwich. My least favorite dish was the Mac because of its subtle strange flavor but once I ate it with bites of the jackfruit it wasn't bad. THE BROOKIE IS SO SO GOOD. Overall, I give this place a solid 4. It's a must try with tasty and innovative dishes but make sure to carve out time for a long wait.
