Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Akasha from around the web.
"On our way out as we were passing the empty refrigerated cases of the bakery, we noticed the signs for the desserts. Both were vegan! â€Å"But they tasted so good!â€�..."
"I went to the last event which paired Unibroue beer with food and it was not only a tasty good time but so much fun...."
"Everyone at the table was looking forward to this dish. The meat was so tender that it just fell away from the bone, I didn’t even need a knife to cut it...."
"The fresh whipped cream was a nice touch, the spices very spot on, the crust was really good. I saved exactly half of this pie for Owen who majorly appreciated..."
"After blogging about the pot gelato at The Farmacy, I was surprised to find vegan chocolate-hemp gelato on the menu at Culver City’s new eco-friendly hot spot, Akasha days later...."
"I was not impressed with the food. The Vegan desserts? TO DIE FOR...."
"But even the cocktails alone are worth a stop, since the restaurant has crafted several specialty cocktails ($11-13 each) inspired from flavors of that subcontinent, such as a spiked mango lassi with TRU vanilla vodka blended with mango puree, yogurt, car..."
"There, the South Indian-style salmon is a necessary plate for even the most meat-headed among us. The fish is cooked to a perfect pink and served with a tamarind-date chutney so sweet it could easily secure a spot on the dessert menu...."
"Green” food doesn’t have to mean hemp-seed toast with a side of patchouli, but still, chef Akasha Richmond’s eco-restaurant is surprisingly swanky...."
"THESE delicate lavender shortbread cookies from Akasha in Culver City are just as delicious as they are wonderfully fragrant...."
"Chef-owner Akasha Richmond, former caterer and private chef to a health-conscious celebrity clientele and author of "Hollywood Dish," seems to have found the sweet spot: an everyday restaurant with healthful comfort food and an appealing urban vibe...."
"Anyone who thinks that vegan pastry is a contradiction in terms should try breakfast at Akasha, the new Culver City restaurant that opened last Tuesday...."
"Akasha Richmond is probably best-known for her vegan cooking � the former caterer is the spokesperson for a brand of soymilk and writes a column for Vegetarian Times � her cooking is surprisingly sybaritic: skewered, curry-dust..."
"There's a reason hummus is traditionally made with chickpeas instead of cannelini beans, and even the waiters tend to steer you away from the crisp little slow-cooked-broccoli pizzas, which are not as compelling as the restaurant's pizzas topped with La Q..."
"Much has been made of the cocktail menu, and I quickly find out why. The Free Radical is made with house-made acai juice, and I just about inhale the smooth solution...."
"The waitress brought over four nicely grilled pieces of shrimp accompanied by tomato chutney sauce, mint raita and some sort of sprout which ended up outlasting the shrimps. Tasty and well-thought out, but it left something to be desired..."
"FYI that de’sha had the spiked turkey burger (which was also recommended by the hostess) and specifically said that it was THE best turkey burger she’d EVER had...."
"Chocolate hemp gelato with caramelized bananas epitomizes Akasha's reigning eco-chicness. The hemp factor, while interesting, just winds up diluting the chocolate flavor, but the bananas are revelatory..."
"Go ahead, dig in. You can't go wrong with her prosciutto pizza: a crisp oval crust topped with caramelized onions, figs, Gorgonzola and prosciutto and wild arugula...."
"Last night, on our way to a late night dinner at Fraiche, I noticed Akasha was holding it's opening party. They had a tent in the back for the cooks, tables of swag bags, and heavy security...."
"My favorite was the wild mushroom and goat cheese tarte with arugula on the side. The crust was thick and flaky...."
"I enjoyed a vegan chocolate cupcake with ganache icing ($3.50). It was like a really good Ding-Dong...."
