    Amazing Food! I AM a Stage 4 Cancer Survivor who had to change My Eating Habits, searching the Internet I found Try it Raw, They Offer REAL Plant Based Food Nothing Impossible Nothing Beyond Just REAL Vegetables, Fruits and Nuts Prepared Deliciously, My Favorites are Pizza and Nachos, I'm a Constant Customer 😊. Thank You Mike and Mark for Being There When I Needed You Most🤗

    I was traveling for business and I literally ate food from here at least 3 times. I always love supporting small business and it's not easy finding raw food, though its growing. Everything I ate was delicious, and had me coming back for more. If I an ever in town here it will be a go to spot for me. Only gripe, it's a small place, limited seating and could be tough to find a parking space. But no big deal if you pick it up.

    First time trying their food 10/8/22. Everything was tasty and seemed fresh. I got the cinnamon roll, which was the best vegan treat I have eaten anywhere. The tacos were surprisingly really good, except the seasoning was a bit overwhelming and could have been mixed in better. The smoothie was good, but way overpriced for the size (especially compared to all other restaurants that serve smoothies). The man running the register and preparing the food wasn’t very friendly nor did he seem happy to be there.

    The best of the best, right in our own backyard. This little gem is something to be grateful for. The organic food is healthy, vibrant, and so, so delicious. It's crunchy, savory, sweet, and hits the spot in every way. There's this certain umami too that I don't get from other spots. Our faves are the tacos, avocado roll, granola, caesar salad, burger, and reuben. Every day there's a different special that's great, but my favorite is the soups. The hearty chili is my delicious. Dessert highlights are the triangle, cinnamon roll, brownie bite, banana ice cream, and cheesecake. The chefs/owners are hard at work behind the counter, so you can witness all the love that goes into the food. Michael will remember your order -- and all with a smile. Can't recommend enough. Five stars.

    If I could leave a ZERO stars, I would. The gentleman making the food had a POOR disposition. He glanced at me when I arrived and said nothing. I found this odd because he greeted the customer that came in after me. It took another worker who came from the back to acknowledge me. Moreover, I asked for a straw for the smoothie I ordered, and he rudely pointed to the straws without saying a word. Haven’t tasted the food yet, but I will NOT be back.

    This place is excellent for vegans. The los tacos are delicious. I do wish you got more for the price, but the quality is there. The food is not filling by any means. Also had an avocado sushi roll kind of bland. Maybe consider making a vegan spicy Mayo to enhance the flavor? Overall I would come back here and try new things!

    I’m new to the vegan raw diet and these nachos were incredibly good! The flavors are layered and well-balanced. I had to call the restaurant and personally thank the man who put this together for me.

    This small raw vegan food gem is my new favorite spot in Birmingham Michigan for fresh healthy nutritious meals. The team is friendly, place is bright and clean, and the menu is full of tasty filling options to select from.

    I ordered carry out from Try It Raw for the first time yesterday. OMG!!!!! Rawesome food! I ordered the tacos, lasagna, Reuben and vanilla cheesecake with chocolate ganache. I absolutely LOVE that the food was packed in compostable containers!!! Even though it took me about 40 minutes to get home and enjoy my yummies, everything remained fresh and delicious! The flavors for all of the dishes were spot on. My daughter does not care for cooked lasagna, but she couldn't get enough of this raw one. We all fought over the one slice of cheesecake. The folks preparing my food were very kind and willing to share knowledge about how food can heal your body. I have been a vegan for over 25 years and often prepare or seek out raw cuisine. I know how labor intensive it can be, but the benefits of consuming living foods are incredible. It's no accident that folks who eat this way look and feel much younger than their actual age. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu items! I wish you offered raw food "cooking" workshops.

    The food was so good! We stopped for an early dinner on our way through town for a trip. They have a pretty wide variety of options - we got nachos, the beet burger special, an avocado roll, and some tacos. Everything is raw whole foods, with tons of surprises with so many flavors that complement each other so well. They have a rotating special entrée every day of the week. The dining area is full of cute little plants, along with complementary filtered water. The kitchen is right out in the open, and you can hear and smell all the fresh herbs and vegetables being cut up and prepared. It smells SO good inside. We really loved our meal here and will absolutely be coming again any time we find ourselves in the area.

    Completely life changing! This place completely changes your mind about raw vegan. The tacos were filling, yet so light, and flavorful. The desserts were chef kisses. The cheesecake, macron, and cinnamon roll were delicious, light, and definitely increased the endorphins! The whole environment between the plants, decor and service were great. Can not recommend enough!!

    While visiting Michigan for the first time I was very much in need of ready made raw food meal. I found it at the Try It Raw. I enjoyed their raw tacos and the lasagna which my friend and I found as rediculously delicious.

  • 2/5 Kristen L. 5 years ago on Google
    Pretty disappointed with my order. I ordered the house salad and wa surprised to see that the 'fresh greens' was 95% romaine and 5% spinach. I was expecting there to be a bit more dark leafy greens. It doesn't end there though unfortunately. There was no cucumber or red cabbage on my salad. No sunflower seeds either. And then dressing was balsamic, and not the advertised green goddess. I was looking forward to this being a healthy lunch option during work. I may try something else from the menu at some point. But I'm very unimpressed at the moment.

    The tacos were delicious & incredibly fresh. The walnut 'meat' is great the serving size was very filling.

  • 5/5 Jamie N. 2 years ago on Google
    One of a kind raw food with amazing recipes, and excellent dish varieties including tasty deserts. We love this healthy option. While it can be priced a little higher than other places we consider this place a real treat and enjoy their food very much every time we go.

  • 5/5 Tamar S. 2 years ago on Google
    Some of the most creative and delicious vegan/plant based food I have had. Everything is a raw preparation. You don’t have to be vegan to enjoy this food. The tacos and nachos were fantastic. The only warning is if you have nut allergies as they use nuts in almost all the dishes. Excellent smoothies and juices as well. There are just a few tables so if no room is available take it to go. Looking forward to a return visit.

  • 5/5 sidney h. 2 years ago on Google
    I travel for work every week. It's hard to find good vegan spots. However, when I do find some in one city, I like to try them all if I can. Try it raw changed that when I went to Detroit. I ate something different every day and I didn't get let down one time. Everything was great and had its own flavor. Thank you guys, awesome work.

  • 5/5 Yevgeniya G. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place! Everything is super fresh and healthy. No matter what you try, your body will thank you. The soups are a highlight as are the treats of the day on the counter. The smoothies are a highlight too. This time of the year when we start refocusing health and wellness, make Try It Raw a regular treat.

  • 5/5 Isabel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very very good food! Excellent flavors. The Thai mushroom soup and the Reuben were delicious.

  • 5/5 Florica G. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the first time eating here, I was very impressed with the food, definitely I will go back.

  • 5/5 Lindsey S. 2 years ago on Google
    Currently navigating through a lifestyle change with my diet and happened upon this restaurant for a quick break from homemade zoodle dishes and cucumber salads 😩 Boy, am I so glad I did! The nachos were great and the veggie sushi rolls were spot on. The first bite of the cinnamon roll was pleasant. But, I didn’t need more. My husband is still raving about the nachos— rightfully so! But, while delicious, they weren’t enough to satiate my former football player husband’s American appetite. A few more, however, probably would have done the trick as he had a bit of my sushi. I also feel as though the cost should justify a slightly larger portion. In all, a pleasant surprise and a lovely find! We will certainly come back again! The gentleman who took my order is also who prepared my nachos. He is talented and a real asset to this business. He was patient and courteous as he helped me identify my meal selections over the phone (close to closing time no less!) to ensure they were compliant with my current diet restrictions. 10/10 recommend.

  • 5/5 Suha D. 2 years ago on Google
    A must try!!!! Hands down the best place to get a nutritious, clean, and healthy meal whether you’re vegan or not. Not only is the staff the sweetest people ever, but they make their food with love. I will be coming back here anytime I’m in the city!

  • 5/5 Leza K. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow wow !! I've been here many times but usually grab and go. Today I had the tacos and I'm blown away . Amazing !!! Best things I've had in a min

  • 5/5 Patricia D. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing raw vegan. I always look for healthy meals when we have to be away from home and remembered this little spot that my husband and I got to taste a few years back while in the area. My boys loved it and they were so kind to switch out the soy sauce for coconut aminos for my sons avocado roll. It was gone in a flash and he wanted some to go! Nachos were delicious and beautiful too😍 I wish we lived closer!!!

  • 5/5 Sara K. 1 year ago on Google
    Try It Raw is definitely one of the best vegan restaurants in Detroit. I love everything on the menu (especially the tacos, Reuben and lentil soup 🥣). The vegetables are the freshest I’ve come across in Michigan. Everything is super healthy and delicious. The staff is also super fast, friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing and secluded. Ive eaten vegan food all across the globe and I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more! Don’t miss it!

  • 5/5 Jennifer G. 1 year ago on Google
    So happy I decided to try this restaurant. I had the lasagna and nachos and they were both delicious!! I will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 MJG 1 year ago on Google
    What a great restaurant this is. It was exactly what we were craving when we came here: fresh vegan food. It's great too because after eating this type of food, you don't feel blah after, like you would eating deep fried foods. The atmosphere is nice too for a small place. 3 tables inside which was perfect. Service was excellent. They explained each thing clearly to us. The food was incredible. We opted for the Saturday special, which was a delicious burger and coleslaw on the side. We also had the tacos, which were incredible as well. My son had a cucumber sushi roll which seemed to be a hit as well. All in all, a fantastic spot for some feel-good vegan food. For dessert, the lime cheesecake was top-notch too as was the chocolate banana shake. No ragrets. 5/5. Will definitely be back next time we're in Birmingham. ______________________________________________ Follow me for more reviews, tips and photos!

    This is by far one of the healthiest vegan cuisine places I’ve found. There are only a few, but one that makes healthy meals that are creative and delicious… very hard to find! the veggie sandwich is good and Reuben. I love how all their bread is gluten free and made from veggies thin & so yummy. The cheesecake is to die for too. Love how they sweeten with natural sugars like dates & coconut nectar. The healthy pressed juices are great too. Love coming here to change up my vegan routine. Please never change!! I love the menu and ideas of foods you have. Health is #1 here and that’s so important and hard to find. Health gem!

  • 5/5 Patricia W. 8 months ago on Google
    This is a tiny little place with 3 tables. A lot of their business is takeout. It is charming and well decorated. The food is raw, vegan, and organic. It is also delicious. I had a classic veggie salad and a cup of sweet potato soup

  • 5/5 Karina Y. 9 months ago on Google
    What a gem! This restaurant has become my go to place for delicious healthy meals. The food is truly amazing. Everything I tried on the menu was very delicious. The service is superb as well.

  • 5/5 Alex M. 7 months ago on Google
    This place blew my mind. I wasn't expecting much because it was raw. Boy was I wrong. It was flavorful, fresh and good. Customer service was also great. I also had one of the coconut deserts and it was great as well. Try this place. You won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Ramin E. 8 months ago on Google
    Small but full of life and energy. Food is incredible, fresh , fast and friendly . The absolute best raw juice I've had. Carrot, beet and apple ....try it. Their brownies are like an energy ball. Incredible. Get one to go and have it with a nice espresso. Highly recommended

    the sexiest vegan food you’ll ever try. the owner is a wizard. not sure how he thinks of his creations but it was phenomenal. definitely will be driving back again (1 hour round trip) for this.

  • 5/5 Ella H. 4 months ago on Google
    They execute the raw concept so deliciously! The zucchini noodles were covered in a flavorful dressing and was a refreshing lunch to have. It makes you feel healthy yet satisfied at the same time. Service was very helpful in giving us tips on what to order as well

  • 5/5 Sarah C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dominique G. 3 years ago on Google
    Yesterday was my first time going to Try It Raw and let’s just say I should have went the first time I became aware of this wonderful establishment. I’m currently vegan but looking to transition into a raw vegan. This place really let’s me know that flavor doesn’t need to be sacrificed as a raw vegan! I’m grateful that this place exists and will be going back today as well . I got the nachos and tacos. I could eat those nachos all day! The tacos were so filling and delicious! You won’t be hungry afterwards! Trust me! It is worth the 30 minute trip there! Looking forward to the ride again today!

  • 5/5 Michael F. 3 years ago on Google
    Love Try It Raw. Everything is so healthy and delicious. There’s no place like it in Michigan. Only a bunch of cooked food which is pretty much toxic.

  • 5/5 bilal r. 4 years ago on Google
    Tacos two thumbs up!

  • 5/5 Chanel J. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing!!! I cook quite a bit and make my own raw dishes. I am usually underwhelmed when I eat out. The zucchini pasta made me close my eyes on first taste it was so good! And they were kind enough to make me avocado rolls without brown rice since I'm eating raw right now. Effin delicious!!!

  • 5/5 Paige B. 5 years ago on Google
    Seriously - the best! I'm not vegan, or even vegetarian - but this is one of my favorite places to grab lunch or a quick snack! I especially appreciate their use of organic produce. The 2 handrolls and a green guru are my regular lunch order (though the nachos also make an occasional appearance😊).

  • 3/5 Sierra W. 5 years ago on Google
    I liked the food ok. It was kind of bland and not filling at all. My friends and I had to eat at home after we went there because we were still hungry. I liked the food overall but I wouldn't go back.
