Pure & Supreme Cuisine

Healthy feel good food! amazing holiday special Amira! the best potato salad of my life, the vegan mac and cheese is always the first to be eaten.
Everyone must try the tahini shake! how do you get your muffins so perfect? and the yams and cranberry sauce; so delicious! Greens are perfect and the vegetables in the sateen (sp?) roast is great as well as the fluffiest mashed potatos i’ve ever had. The soup was so sweet and tasty; Wonderful Christmas dinner!
Thank you so much; I am lucky to have a vegan, organic, sea salt, eatery to frequent. slow and low with organic unrefined oils; I am so happy Pure and Supreme exists! it’s the only cooked food place i go out to eat.
I wish I could cook like Pure and Supreme. The chickpea marsala is my favorite special. Go out of the way to make a gluten free menu, like qinoa tabuli instead of bulgar wheat for celiacs… Everything, just everything, including Joe, is just amazing

After Unilocaling for places we’ve never eaten at downtown, we settled upon Pure and Supreme, based on the wealth of good reviews.
And we were not disappointed! Located in the Euclid arcade, this little restaurants has delicious home cooked food. And it’s vegan too!
We ordered the special of the day– for ten bucks, we got a plantain tomato stew, curry cauliflower, Mac n cheese, and collard greens. All of it was delicious– I especially liked the sweetness and tangy-​ness of the plantain tomato stew. It even came with this homemade corn muffin which was moist, not too oily, and just good.
We also got a side of hummus (with warm whole grain pita) and a salad with some homemade dressing too.
All in all, if you’re around the Euclid arcade, this place is definitely worth trying out. They take a little while to prepare the food, but it has that homemade taste to it, which makes it all worth it.

Located in the connector between the 5^th St and Colonial Arcades (the ones between Euclid and Prospect), this food stand provides very fresh lunchtime options.
I ordered the Vegan Cheese Steak Gyro which comes with Vegan Roast, onions, peppers, baby bella mushrooms, tomatoes, lettuce, thin avocado slices and house prepared cheese sauce. I’m not sure what «Vegan Roast» is, but it was good. There was a bit of a spice throughout the entire dish and the veg definitely tasted fresh.
The Vegan Cheese Steak Gyro can come in a wrap, or not. I got it in a wrap, but the wrap was wrapped so loosely that I ended up eating it with a fork anyways for the most part.
I definitely enjoyed the food and will keep this place in mind for a cheap, healthy lunch ($ 7).

Okay, maybe I ordered wrong, but I’m not sure I understand the fuss. This is a good stand in a crowded food court with limited seating. I ordered the special, which was a Dominican okra stew with kale over brown rice. It was decent and fresh, but I’d hoped for more adventuresome flavors. The kale was well seasoned and perfectly cooked (though there were some super crunchy bits that felt like grit or something that shouldn’t be there), but the okra was just meh. A bland stew without sufficient heft – it tasted watered down. It made me wish I’d ordered okra from the Indian joint across the hall. The corn bread muffin that accompanied was terrific. Sure, the prices are reasonable, but this isn’t a 5 star food stand – at least not judging by their okra.

This place is not for the hangry or impatient.
I dropped by around 1:30 pm on a Friday hoping to pick up some grub before a 2:20 appointment elsewhere. No dice. Well, no dice for me. I was with my mom and left her behind to get my food after I left at 2:00 to go to my appointment. It took about 45 minutes for us to get our food — a salad and a sandwich.
Maybe their food is better hot/​fresh, but once I got home and ate my vegan cheese steak I was underwhelmed. The pita was fresh, but I thought the seitan was salty. My mom’s falafel salad was pretty good, though.
I appreciate this place for providing vegan options in the 5^th Street Arcade and I respect that they make everything from scratch. I’ll just need to go back another time when I have plenty of time to kill and can afford to wait around. I’d definitely like to try some of their daily specials. (it seems like those are dished up right away, too)

This place has been on my short list of places to try, based on Unilocal reviews. I’m always looking for something, light but filling in downtown Cleveland for lunch. This fit the bill. I stopped by after the lunch time rush, and ordered the Quinoa Tabouli salad… wasn’t’ quite sure what to expect. I was kind expecting a more traditional tabouli… parsley, tomatoes in lemony garlic dressing. This was much different, but tasty. The meal included a base salad which consisted of a nice selection of mixed greens, grated carrots, chopped tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and a ½ avocado. There were separate containers of a tahini based dressing and quinoa/​parsley, I sprinkled the quinoa mixture on the salad base and then drizzled with the dressing. This was pretty good. Everything was fresh and the portion was just right, the price was $ 7 and was worth every dime. I was a bit bummed that there were no to-​go menus, but other than that, I had no complaints. I’ll definitely return.

Fantastic is the word for the fine soul and comfort food that is offered here. The owner is so nice and you can tell her passion in what she does and the food she makes. Went here with my wife and had the lentil-​sweet potato soup special that was wonderful. The flavors went together like stars and the sky. The muffin is just so tasty. If you in the area it is tucked away in the Arcade, a series of indoor shoppes. Check it out. Wonderful vegan food in the Arcade food court.

Wonderful vegan option for downtown with friendly service… I think the owner remembered me as a «regular» after only a second visit.
I typically get the daily special, and that is enough to split for a couple (unless you’re super hungry.) My favorite is probably the mac and cheese. Highly recommended, but I suggest showing up early because they will to sell out of the staples by the end of the lunch rush. There can also be a long line, but just plan on showing up early and taking your time and you will be in for a treat!

True to its name, the food is pure n supreme in taste and quality. Everything was freshly made, including the falafels. The juices were great tasting and amazing fresh. I was glad to see a menu full of veggie n vegan options!

I don’t miss meat at all! Had a falafel salad… It’s one of my favorite salads now! So fresh! Light and yet filling! Will come back again and again

Pure & Supreme Cuisine features healthy and delicious vegan food.
The people who run it are so nice! When my girlfriend and I came here, they offered us free juice samples while we made our decision about what to order. When we weren’t sure about which soup to get, the solution was to give us a taste.
We had the vegan Cheeze Gyro sandwich and the pure and supreme salad with breaded tofu. Both meals were delicious, and pretty unique. The dressings accompanying the salad were so good I was dipping my fork in them just to taste more. In the end, all I had left from the salad was onions… and I even ate those with the dressing!

Holy delicious. Although downtown is packed with lunch spots, sometimes it’s hard to find a place that’s on the lighter, healthier side. Well I no longer have to worry, I’ve found my go-​to spot.
Pure and Supreme is in the food court of the 5^th street arcade. It could easily be overlooked while walking through, but I was looking for it so it wasn’t too hard to spot. The woman that works the counter is also the owner, and quickly informed us of the daily specials. Although we didn’t get any specials this time, they sounded delicious and I will definitely try them on future visits.
I ordered the Pure and Supreme Cuisine salad, which is a garden salad with carrots, onion, cucumber, tomato, and avocado, and served with an amazing garlic dressing. I’m not sure what was in it, definitely loads of garlic and maybe tahini? Regardless, it was awesome. I’d love to buy a bottle of that and take it home with me. I also got a corn muffin which was seriously the most moist, cakey, delicious corn bread thing I’ve ever had. And I washed everything down with their ginger drink– a spicy, refreshing juice they make in house!
My boyfriend ordered the falafel wrap and he was pleased with his as well. The wrap was huge! But was so delicious that he ended up eating the entire thing. And our whole meal was under $ 20… That’s some serious cheap eats.
Prior to visiting I did read a few comments about the long wait time, so I made sure to pay close attention to the clock. Our food took about 15 minutes, a little longer than some might expect, but we did not mind at all. I noticed a lot of people that had apparently called ahead and placed their orders, so I’d definitely recommend doing that if you’re short on time.
Overall, a great lunch. Awesome food, great prices, giant portions, and the best part– feeling good about eating some organic vegan food! I have a feeling I’ll soon be a regular.

Found this place on Unilocal while looking for a healthy lunch. Ended up trying the curry plantain stew which came with kale greens and a muffin. The food was fresh and delicious, and the owner was friendly and sweet as could be. It warmed me up on a very cold Cleveland day. Can’t wait to try the other specials here.

We were in Cleveland for a 3-​day conference — we went here for lunch all three days. The people were very friendly (we were traveling with a 7-​month-​old baby and they made a special off-​menu concoction for her, gratis), the food was excellent, the prices were low. We tried several days worth of specials, and all were excellent.
While considering whether to eat here on the first day of the conference, a gentleman walked over to where we were staring at the menu board and started extolling all the virtues. He showed us his meal and described each dish (that day was a peanut curry, collard greens, muffin, homemade habanero hotsauce). We asked «Are you vegan?» He said, «No… I’m trying to eat healthier… but this place is just great.»
We trusted him, and were quite glad we did :)

Bit hard to find if you’re not looking for it, this place is a small organic and vegan kitchen that’s part of the Euclid Arcade. The lady at the counter who owns the eatery was very hospitable and motherly, and opened the kitchen back up for us even though we reached just after they had closed.
I ordered the Tofu Philly Cheese which came with good sized pieces of tofu (cooked to perfection with the right amount of chewy), grilled veggies, tomatoes, and their vegan tartar sauce. The wrap was kinda messy, and though I wasn’t blown away, the food was simple and wholesome. I definitely want to revisit to try the other things on the menu.
Food was fairly priced, and I think it’s a good place to pick up a quick healthy lunch, I’ll be back!

The name says it all. so delicious, nourishing, and satisfying while feeling clean. This is one of those places that will convince you that vegan does not mean flavorless.
The lunch special is a huge portion (2 meals for me, tastes great reheated), and is usually some sort of stew, brown rice, steamed kale and cauliflower, and a corn muffin.
Regarding the service– if you’re in a rush, opt for the daily special; the stew is already prepared. Anything else is typically made to order, so if you’re pressed for time, save it for another day. But, all of that time and love definitely goes into the food… it’s SO good.

I wish I could give this place a better review, but the wait times are HORRIBLE. I even knew this from my fiancé’s prior experience and called an hour ahead, but still waited 45 minutes after getting there! It made me late to get back to work. Judging by the eye rolls of others waiting at the counter, I’m not the only one a little dumb founded by this… get it together cause youre only open at lunch!
The only reason I’ll give this place a second try is because of how delicious the falafel salad was. But next time I’m calling ahead and telling them I’m coming right then, but won’t show up for another hour.

I’ve been back a whole lot. I now only order the daily special, because they have it ready and on hand. I’ve not had issues with the wait since my last review.
Pure and Supreme is without a doubt the best tasting, most healthy, and best deal in down town Cleveland for lunch.

Five stars for food, negative ten stars for the comically long waits to pick up your order. Every single time! The menu disclaimer says something along the lines of «Please be patient, we are lovingly making your food from scratch.» As lovely a sentiment as that is, I just think 40 minutes to get a take-​out order is too much, especially when it’s a raw salad…
I always say «Never again», but who am I kidding? I freaking love this place.
I have loved everything I’ve tried. Unlike The Flaming Ice Cube (probably my fave vegan place), most of the dishes here are presented in as close to its whole, raw food state as possible versus vegan versions of something else. Try the guacamole with pita. It’s the best $ 6 lunch ever. They make the guacamole from scratch (see above, LOL), and it is served over mixed greens and tons of chopped veggies.
From now on, I’m going to try calling ahead first and see if that works.

I’ve noticed this place multiple times when I’ve had a day off and have gone to Kabob House across the way for a falafel. But, today, I finally decided to give Pure and Supreme a shot, and I am SO glad I did.
For the most part, I am a vegetarian, and like Jessica I. said– it’s nice to have a flavorful and nutritious meal without the overuse of meat substitutes!
I talked to the sweet lady at the counter, Amira (I’m sure I butchered the spelling), for a bit when I first got there about the different items on the menu. I went around 1:30pm and there wasn’t a rush and it wasn’t chaotic or disorganized like one of the reviews mentioned. So, I must’ve picked a good time. After hearing about a few dishes, I settled on the Vegan Cheese Steak Gyro — Amira said that a lot of the regulars tend to order this every time (tho she’s not sure if they just enjoyed it the first time and haven’t tried anything else or if it truly is the most popular item). I was told it would be about 7 – 8 minutes since they make it from scratch, which I was MORE than okay with! A few minutes later, she asked if I wanted to sample their red beans and rice while I waited — of course I said yes, expecting a small sample. She prepared a full bowl of their red beans and rice, complete with cauliflower and some greens on top. It was SO delicious and hearty! As they packed my meal, they gave me a corn muffin as well (delicious, soft, wonderful).
The gyro was phenomenal. Similar to Mary F., I have NO idea what the protein part of the Gyro was made of, but what I do know is that it was DAMN delicious! Super flavorful with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and grilled peppers and onions on top. The vegan cheese was also amazing! I always have said I could never be vegan b/​c I love cheese (and ice cream) way too much, but I didn’t feel like I was missing anything in this meal!
For all of this food, I paid 7 dollars. Super cheap for a super filling and delicious meal (I have some leftovers for later, still).
I’ll definitely be back to try some more things on the menu when I have days off! I was also told that in about 2 weeks they are changing some of the menu and adding breakfast — they are going to start opening at 8am.
