vegan-friendly friedel caribbean cuisine closes :(
7January 1st, 2010friedel (closed), LA restaurantsi’ve got some kinda sad news in the vegan-friendly restaurant department: it appears that friedel caribbean cuisine in studio city has closed down.
i only got a chance to try them out once, and while the service was extremely slow, the food was decent and the menu had a good amount of vegan options. plus, in may they even had a booth at wordfest, serving up all kinds of meatless cuisine.
we drove by friedel today, and they seemed to have been replaced by a mexican restaurant. i didn’t have my camera on me (bad blogger!), but their signage was gone and everything. plus their phone number is disconnected, and their website is down.
so long friedel! sad to see a vegan-friendly establishment disappear.
here is their old info:

That’s sad. They had major service and quality issues though, I’m not surpised they shut down… but I will miss the delicious vegan mango beef 🙁

Aw that sucks, first I’ve heard of this place, and I’ve never had Caribbean cuisine.

OHMYGOODNESS, we were LITERALLY just going to try them out LAST NIGHT, but opted for Indian food instead! I’m bummed!! For some reason, certain ethnic food just does not make it in the valley! ;( I still haven’t gotten over the Ethiopian restaurant that used to be onMagnolia in Sherman oaks closing like 4 years ago! This place had GREAT service, GREAT vegan food & yet at any time I went, you could throw a bomb into the dining room & not kill anybody. Major bummer. I’m sad to see just about ANY restaurant go out of business but ESPECIALLY a vegan or vegan-catering one! Ug! Soooo ready to see this economy get back on track! 🙁

That is a damn shame, really enjoyed their Curry Chicken. Once again an example of just how difficult the restaurant business is (the veg restaurant business in particular).

I can’t say I’m surprised….the first time I went there, they didn’t seem to know anything about their own menu. There was a “Vegetarian” section and a “Vegan” section …they did not know the difference. The 2nd time I went there, the food took FOREVER….and then it wasn’t even that good. Oh well.
