Pity I can't give 1/2a Star- we arrived on Wednesday around 230pm after the lunch hour traffic - we were promptly seated and our order was taken- we waited for over 60 minutes before we got our food- we had ordered tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich, chicken tenders and lamb and rice - soup was nice and hot, grilled cheese sandwich was ok, the chicken tenders were very oily and chewy like elastic band- when we complained we were told it was because the chicken tenders were made with chicken breast- oh boy!!! Then we ordered avocado toast- very pretty presentation but like eating a block of grated salt. The lamb was over cooked and very difficult to chew but great workout for my jaws, and the brown rice I had ordered was undercooked- in general- a huge disappointment

This restaurant just called me fat. The 1.5 egg omelet - I mean this is a very cute place, a nice upgrade from the previous owners decor, but definitely a date restaurant. Tiny, lovely, delicate food. Not a bad thing but, be aware.

Loved our brunch here! We stopped by on the way back from Virginia Beach. The restaurant is a quick hop off the interstate and so worth stopping in for. I loved the spin on traditional breakfast items and found the overall experience exceptional.Our server was extremely nice too. He made sure we had everything we needed and took great care of us.The business center has a lot of charm too. I hope to get by again sometime!

It was my birthday lunch and my sister was treating, so I knew we were headed here. Upon arrival, the lack of patrons made it appear they were closed. This was around 2pm. But they were opened and we were seated. This place is practicing excellent covid safety practices as their tables were spaced out far more wider than I've seen at other establishments. The aesthetic is simply quaint. To toast off the day, we had sangrias. Tasty and delicious. We then ordered the Lollipop Chicken. It was an excellent appetizer, robust with flavors of sweetness and garlic and a little spice. Trust when I say, you cannot help but want to lick your fingers from this sauce. It is that good. Following our appetizer, we had our entree. The Beet Sliders was my pick of choice, being more adventurous and oh am I so satisfied with this pick. It's crispy and full of good flavor. You don't taste "beet" and it is made with potato. It also comes with this tomato chutney which is a good contrast as its light in flavor. Your tastebuds will rejoice, trust me. My sister had the Stuffed Gypsy Toast with eggs and bacon, which she absolutely enjoyed, stating how it was the right amounts of flavor. If you can't tell by now, this was a great pick and a great dinning experience. With what's going on in today's world, I felt safe. I confidently feel you cannot be disappointed with your meal of choice here. There's enough on the menu for dietary needs as well. Our server was attentive and had a great disposition in his service. He gets a 5 star rating. You can tell when someone takes effort into the meal they make and I appreciate that so much.

Wonderful food, service and special attention for the children! Loved that we were able to eat off the breakfast, lunch or dinner menu!

Awesome customer service, clean restaurant, and delicious food! The Nepalese shrimp and grits were very different from what my southern upbringing expected but my taste buds were grateful for the new experience. I really like this new discovery and will definitely return SOON!

Every aspect of the visit to Vedeat was lovely. The food was scrumptious, and even provided several vegan options which is nice to have. Not only that, but the vegan options were unique. The savory scallion, rice flour pancake was delicious--I highly recommend this. The interior decor was modern and quaint. I enjoyed the simplicity of the dining room. The staff was friendly, and checked-in with us often. They also have a nice story behind why they chose to open a restaurant, and the importance of preparing healthy food that tastes great. I would visit again any time. Cheers!

The food and service are always outstanding. We love coming here for any meal and leave happy every time. There aren't many restaurants we can say that about around here.

This place is AMAZING! has many options to choose from no matter your taste from breakfast lunch all the way through dinner. Delicious Healthy options for those who choose and some not so healthy options we wish we could try. We had the coconut curry ( I had chicken wife had vegetarian) both were better than anywhere we've tried in peninsula. We will be back as much as possible. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Fantastic restaurant in City Center. The chai tea was delicious and came with free refills. I also had the fish and chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, and had a wonderful sauce on the side. The potatoes were well seasoned, and the peppers and onions gave them a lot of flavor. Our waiter was also attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!

My first time trying Vedeat today! I am a local business consultant so it is difficult to impress me with a restaurant/brick and mortar however, I was extremely impressed here. Clean atmosphere, great service and delicious and healthy food! I could literally eat here weekly.

Had the best chili fries, we also ordered vegetable fried rice with tofu and it was amazing. Can’t wait to eat there for breakfast! The restaurant was beautiful and clean, cool atmosphere! Great food!

Great place for some culinary adventure for the adventurous and not so adventurous alike. Me and the wife and the kids all ate things we have never had before, and all liked all of it. In this weird Covid spot we are in, they had social distancing down well enough that we went from planning on take-out to dining in. Plenty of space between tables, and the server was wearing a mask the whole time. Also, as a side note, customers were talking to each other from other tables. Guess we are all wanting social contact. It was nice.

A new favorite! Delicious food and great service. Will definitely be back!

Vedeat is a hidden gem in Newport News -- locally owned, it occupies the spot in City Center where the Lunch Bell used to be. If you were familiar with that spot, it was a standard dive-diner kind of American brunch/breakfast spot. Vedeat is truly something special -- the owners remodeled and the vibe is now upscale and modern. The menu hits a great balance between traditional American options for the less adventurous eaters and more traditional Nepalese options for those willing to take the plunge!On two separate visits, I had wonderful service and the place wasn't crowded at all. The first time I ordered the stuffed gypsy toast with mango, because I'm always on the hunt for anything with mango. It struck a good balance between the dough and the mango - the cream cheese filling was a little too sweet for my taste, but I worked around it and still enjoyed it. The second time, I ordered an omelet which was fresh and delicious. It was served with a house-made sauce on the side that was absolutely delicious -- it had a bit of spice to it and perfectly balanced the eggs making the flavors burst together in your mouth. Delightful. I hope this place sticks around because it's a great option for brunch! I haven't had a chance to try any of their lunch options yet, but they have several that look tasty. And for those who are on the look out for vegetarian/vegan options, they have several.

We found Vedeat on a whim and we are SO glad we did! It's hard to find a veggie based restaurant using natural ingredients in the area. The menu is extensive and accommodates various diet preferences. The service was excellent. We will definitely be back again sometime soon.

They actually had vegan options! I was about to just skip breakfast because a FULL meal is so hard to come by in this area. I enjoyed the avocado toast. They also had vegan coconut curry which I will try next time! My mom had the fried rice which was great and we both had dairy-free golden drinks which were tasty.

This is the best breakfast in the area. The Gypsy Toast is AMAZING . The service is equally great! This is my new favorite restaurant and a must try

Very nice rustic atmosphere , the food was great and had excellent flavors. Satisfied my children's unique palates . I ordered the Gypsy French toast with eggs, turkey bacon and chicken sausage . The French toast was topped with strawberries , coconut and mascarpone .... so delicious . My daughters ordered pancakes and shrimp and grits . Not one complaint . The service was awesome ! We will return to check out lunch next time .

Just tried this place for the first time in Oyster Point City Center! First off they have parking right outside or you can park in the garage which is close. I love City Center in general, has such a sweet vibe. I love the decor in the restaurant! The tables have flowers, I love the rustic look of the tables. If you even have to wait, the waiting area has this cute yellow couch, perfect for pictures. It's a Nepalese joint so plenty of traditional items to choose from. I got the avocado toast and added eggs. It was delicious and the food prevention was top notch. The sangria was yummy and strong. I also got the Chiya tea, I personally like plain tea with no sugar and liked it a lot. Everyone I was with loved their food. I will say the only downside was it was a bit slow but they are brand new and the quality of the food was totally worth the wait! We will be coming here for our Sunday brunches for now on! I look forward to what I'm gonna try this weekend

Was told one of the orders was going to take 15 minutes, which was okay. The table ended up waiting just over an hour. What wasn't okay was it was the first dish out and the chicken was cold. Ordered sweet crepes and it had minimum filling, dough was undercooked and cold. The shrimp and grits was more of a soup. The table only received 3 out of the 4 orders.

Absolutely loved this place my boyfriend and I were hesitant at first. But I'm so glad we tried this place. Home style potatoes were great, and French toast. My boyfriend loved the shrimp grits dish!

This a real gem of a place to eat! So many options for breakfast and lunch. Healthy food that your body thanks you for eating! I've been back already twice and plan to make this place a frequent stop. You won't regret it.
