KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) — Kianga’s Kitchen and Seoul Brothers are whipping up some tasty dishes at Marble City Market.
If you are interested in trying out some vegan soul food, Kianga’s Kitchen is a great option. The restaurant started out as an African/soul food catering service led by Nkechi Kianga Ajanaku. She was known for her sweet potato cheesecake and her version of southern greens, prepared without any animal products.
Ajanaku’s son, Tor Ajanaku, shared her vision to open a vegan restaurant to promote a plant-based diet that is not only healthy but delicious.
Kianga’s Kitchen specializes in southern-inspired dishes while incorporating herbs and spices from places around the world. The vegan soul food restaurant offers more options to people who live a vegan lifestyle, and for those who are looking for more vegan options near downtown and East Knoxville.
