What people say
Vegetarian and vegan restaurants have become increasingly popular in recent years, as more people are choosing to adopt a plant-based lifestyle for health, ethical, and environmental reasons. Prophet Vegetarian Restaurant in San Diego is one such restaurant that has been serving delicious vegetarian and vegan cuisine for decades.
What sets Prophet Vegetarian Restaurant apart from other vegetarian restaurants is its unique blend of Ethiopian and Caribbean flavors. The restaurant's owner and chef, Marianne Makeda Cheatom, has created a menu that features dishes like African groundnut soup, the "Bangladesh" sandwich made with soybeans and curry, and the famous carob cheesecake. These dishes are not only delicious but also healthy, as they are made with fresh ingredients and no animal products.
Prophet Vegetarian Restaurant has a rich history of serving celebrities like George Harrison of the Beatles, Jane Fonda, Dick Gregory, Gloria Swanson, and health gurus like Dr Bronner and Dr Bernard Jenson. The restaurant was part of the health and natural food movement that later changed the world. Today it is housed inside WorldBeat Cultural Center as WorldBeat Cafe.
Makeda continues to be the owner and chef at Prophet Vegetarian Restaurant/WorlBeat Cafe. She believes that what we eat feeds our soul and that conscious cookery can change people's consciousness. With her new menu featuring Caribbean and African influences, she continues to provide customers with healthy and delicious vegetarian/vegan options that are sure to satisfy any palate.
