Majani serves very good vegan soul food on the South Shore. This means entrees like BBQ cauliflower and jerk tofu, served with sides of cornbread, greens, and black-eyed peas. The space is small and upbeat, full of reclaimed wood and tall windows that let a bunch of light in. This is a great spot on the Southside for lunch or dinner, even if you weren’t already in the neighborhood. Make sure to get a piece of carrot cake.
