Simply Wholesome

Nestled in the heart of Los Angeles at 4508 W Slauson Ave, Simply Wholesome stands out as a vibrant health food destination that masterfully blends a restaurant and health food store under one welcoming roof. This family-owned gem is more than just a spot to grab a wholesome meal; it’s a community hub dedicated to nourishing the body and soul with fresh, vibrant, and nutrient-rich offerings.

The cuisine here is a delightful fusion of Caribbean-inspired and health-conscious dishes that appeal to vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. From the moment you dig into the Jerk Chicken Patties or the crispy yet tender Salmon Croquettes, your taste buds are transported through bold spices and comforting textures. Plant-based options like the Spinach Patty, Garden Burrito filled with vibrant veggies, and the protein-packed We Are One with Tofu showcase Simply Wholesome’s ability to craft nourishing meals brimming with flavor and freshness.

The menu reads like a treasure trove of healthy indulgence: golden, crispy Fresh Fries paired perfectly with house favorites like the Caribbean Enchiladas with Tofu or the layered, satisfying Leanie Supreme, which combines smoky BBQ sauce, creamy avocado, and crunchy sprouts in a whole wheat hot dog bun. Don’t miss the Smoothie 2 Guava Explosion – a luscious, tropical blend that refreshes and revitalizes in every sip.

What truly makes Simply Wholesome special is not just the food but the atmosphere—a warm, bustling space filled with friendly smiles and the hum of a community gathered around health and wellness. Despite busy moments, service is attentive and efficient, with staff taking orders quickly to keep the energy moving. The co-location of the health food store adds to the appeal: customers often rave about the extensive selection of natural supplements, herbal products, and even sea moss gel—items that complement the nourishing meals perfectly.

Real experiences from patrons paint a vivid picture of Simply Wholesome’s impact. Monie Ross describes it as “the best and most delicious food I’ve had in a very long time,” highlighting not just the flavors but also the holistic benefits that extend beyond a meal to wellness products for hair, skin, and overall health. Valerie N.’s enthusiasm for the blackened salmon Wednesday special and the shop’s variety of supplements echoes the thoughtful care put into the menu and inventory. FREDRICK 24.7.365 was impressed by the global variety of drinks and the seamless integration of restaurant and health store offerings, describing his first visit as a “WOW” moment.

Simply Wholesome is more than a place to eat—it’s a community staple, a celebration of natural living, and an invitation to heal from the inside out. Whether you’re craving a savory Grilled Chicken Sandwich, a rejuvenating green smoothie, or a flavorful Shrimp Taco with Side Salad, you’ll find mindful ingredients and heartfelt service that make every visit feel like a step toward better health and happiness.
