Verdura

Verdura is billed as Phoenix's hot, vaguely vinyl-themed vegan restaurant, and the names of the dishes reflect that: the Supreme, Santana Mac, and so on. But this counter-service, plant-based eatery isn't messing around with the food. Popular items include the seitan-made carne asada nachos and a seitan chicken sandwich with marinara, cashew ricotta, and chimichurri. Located along a busy stretch of Seventh Street that is filled with local restaurants, Verdura stands out in a crowd.
