Dharma Southern Chick'n: Experience Flavorful Vegan Southern Cuisine in Orlando

Worth the trip! Everything we tried here was amazing. Best vegan chicken I've ever tried! I was about halfway through the Caesar chick'n sandwich when I remembered that it was vegan. The GA peach sloppy joe was full of flavor, the brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked, the fried pickles were deliciously crunchy, and the cheesy hommies were awesome! I just wish we lived closer...

this restaurant’s food is so good that i came here 6 times in 3 days. every time i was in orlando i was dying to try dharma’s, but it was during the reconstruction period and i was never able to do so. the new location is small and consists of a few spaces to eat indoors and outdoors as well as a pickup counter and valhalla bakery (more vegan goodies) on your left. the first time i was finally able to try dharma’s i ordered the georgia peach sloppy joe and a side of mac n cheese— it immediately made its way onto my “favorite restaurants of all time” list and is staying there permanently. i joined the rewards program. i could go there and ask them to give me a completely random order and i’d be happy with whatever i got (i tried most of the menu in that 6 days)! the food has always been ready in good time and i was always happy with my service. although i’ve tried a lot of the menu, a few of my favorites are the georgia peach sloppy joe, caesar sandwich, and the mac n cheese. the adult chick’n nuggets are also an honorable mention! the portion sizes are large and the sandwiches are packed with flavor and toppings. everything is well-seasoned. i would 100% recommend coming here to eat and i give all my love to the staff and chef and everybody who puts their love into this food and service :) edit: i’m not going to lie, the quality in food has definitely gone down a little since they reopened - at this point, it’s really hit or miss. i first tried dharma when they reopened after a long closure and location change and i was very impressed by the quality and portion of food; lately, they’ve been a lot stingier with the portions and i’ve definitely noticed that the food is saltier and not as well-prepared. i’ve noticed a difference in quality (especially by the photos i’ve taken) starting from when they reopened, and nowadays i notice things like chick’n pieces that take up about half of the bun, smaller and soggier buns, extremely salty food, and the occasional burnt piece of food. the portions vary extremely, from just a few fried pickles and half a patty to a whole box of pickles and a packed sandwich; i don’t really know what im gonna get when it comes to any of the items i’m ordering, and i’ve found it really discourages me from picking up food there. for example, the georgia peach sloppy joe is my favorite item there and i originally loved how much beef they piled on and the amazing flavor. the flavor is still there, but the last time i picked up from here the sandwich was barely filled and mostly bun; the sandwich was insanely salty too. that being said, the workers are still nice and the food does taste pretty good. it isn’t as good as it used to be but it isn’t bad. for the price, however, i wouldn’t choose to pay this much for something that i know HAS been so much better in the past, even if i was willing to pay that much before.

Everything about this place is amazing. The people here are so friendly, the food tasted great, there's even a little bakery connected! I got the spicy Buffalo sandwich and it was perfect. Not overly spicy. There wasn't anyone else here at the time but I hope this place has busy moments to keep it open. I will say 45 dollars for 2 sandwiches, 2 fries and 2 drinks seemed pricey. But having a good experience helped justify the price.

Great service and atmosphere. Plenty of vegan options. If you prefer less seasoning, let them know when ordering. Food came quick. My favorite was the buffalo Mac and cheese.

Excellent food. Shares a building with Valhalla vegan bakery (dangerous). Nice people. Definitely worth a visit. Fully vegan menu. Hots have good heat, but not super hot. Nashville: 10/10 Buffalo: 10/10 Classic: 9/10 Garlic mac: 6/10 not for me

Such a cool spot. The food is awesome, and sandwiches are huge and sauces are yummy. Big plus that the new location is closer to me so I happy! This is all plant based/vegan, but it’s actually filling and super flavorful. We had the Nashville Hot and Ceasar sandwiches and some sides. I would highly recommend the mac n cheese but I fell in love with the crispy Brussels. Big Cluckers and Dipz all day baby!

What a fantastic piece of chick'n. When Dharma says they specialize in chick'n, they mean it. We both had the BBQ Big Clucker sandwich and shared an order of fries. First, the chick'n was cooked perfectly with that crisp outside and a tender middle. Then the BBQ sauce was so good I would probably drink it. The cheeze melted like real cheddar, I remember. The fries were hot and tasty; next time, I will get a side of BBQ. Yes, it is that good. Vegan done right; the Old Cheney Hwy area is lucky to have Dharma, and it is great to see them doing well. If you like vegan/vegetarian, give them a try. They are in a collective, so be prepared to be lured to the Valhalla Bakery counter—a great date night.

YUMMM such a good comfort food spot. the establishment itself is in a more random area which adds to the allure in my opinion. the fried pickles are SO GOODDDD. the staff is so sweet too making the vibes even better. serving sizes are so big which is uncommon for vegan places!!
