My husband and I took the girls tonight to the recently-opened Loving Hut vegan restaurant in Reynoldsburg, OH. We live about 20 miles across town in an area north of Ohio State’s campus and, with an abundance of vegan-friendly restaurants in our area, we’re not often compelled to drive so far for dinner. We couldn’t resist the chance to go to Loving Hut, though, so we headed out and I am so happy we did. Our experience was 100% positive. There were a ton of menu items and I would have happily eaten any (or all!) of them, but I settled on the ladyfingers for an appetizer, for which “like!” was my youngest daughter’s review, and the Thai curry for my entree. My husband had the BBQ sandwich and golden soup and said he anticipates soon craving that meal again. My girls each had a strawberry smoothie and – for once! – no complaints! It might be hard to imagine any kid would complain about having a smoothie for dinner, but my oldest complains about everything dinner-related, so the fact that she didn’t complain even once is a great testament to how good that smoothie really was. Besides the high-quality and DELICIOUS food, the Loving Hut staff were incredibly nice! One was so sweet to my girls and kept calling them “beautiful angels”! So cute!
I really loved the Loving Hut and wish so much that it was closer to home. Hopefully we’ll make it there at least once a month and I recommend for all Central Ohio folks to check it out. It’s an easy trip, too, for anyone passing through Columbus on I-70.

I like Loving Hut too. It’s interesting that they have different menus in each of their locations even though they’re a chain restaurant. I guess to cater to local taste and not just having their food be all cookie cutter. Of course, the menu that I like is at the location that’s further away from me.
I recently visited LH in Reynoldsburg too! I’ll post my pics later this week or early next. Always so happy when new veggie restaurants come to Columbus!
