Detroit Vegan Soul Closes West Village Location

Detroit Vegan Soul, a Black-owned soul food restaurant, has permanently closed its original location in West Village, Detroit. The closure was due to staffing issues brought on by the pandemic, leading the restaurant to take an extended winter break through April 2022. Despite the closure of the historic location that first opened in 2013, the restaurant's second location will remain open, with plans to reopen in April with new services such as catering and meal planning.

The restaurant's menu features vegan soul food dishes like the Oyster Mushroom Po Boy and Okra Stew, made from organic, plant-based ingredients. While the West Village location may be closed, Detroit Vegan Soul's other location on Grand River Avenue will be the new base of operations, offering the return of popular items like the Soul Platter. Fans of the restaurant are encouraged to stay tuned for the reopening in April 2022 and to see what new offerings and services will be available.
