I have been going to the Veggie Grill located at 8000 W.Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90046 in Hollywood Hills for years - however, they have lately started stealing food off my plate every time I order Masala Bowl, and I have been going home hungry every time I eat at this Veggie Grill location. Veggie Grill has gotten very, very, very greedy - and its not a way to be when you cater to the vegetarian community. Veggies are super cheap - there is no reason for Veggie Grill to cut down customer's plates by 1/3 to line their pockets with money! Veggie Grill has been removing lots of key ingredients when preparing their plates, but still charging the same - $10.50 for a Masala bowl, consisting of a piece of bread and a few leaves of kale and a couple of broccolis on top! They have recently started to dilute their Masala Bowls by filling it up with water 1/3 which turns the dish into a soup - something it's never meant to be, and the plate still looks 1/5 short! This is how much Veggie Grill has been stealing from people's plates, and I am not the only victim of the Veggie Grill Greed!
I started complaining to the manager, but the manager told me that everyone else was also complaining, and that I should call the corporate offices and take it out with them. I called the corporate offices and spoke to Anthony in the Santa Monica Location who talked me into coming back into the Veggie Grill Shop and provided me with two comped cards to make things right and erase my bad experience. My Comp Card experience was fine - the veggie people fixed my plate like it should be and like it always has been - a regular size plate with all of the veggies intact - they knew who I was because I had the comp cards. However, when I returned without a card, as a regular-paying customer that I am - I received a Masala bowl filled 1/3 with a curry-flavored water and there was barely any veggies on my plate! Some of the ingredients were completely absent! I walked out of Veggie Grill hungry once more, and I do not intend in going back - the only thing that saved me that night was that T**** J**'s was right next door, and despite the late hour, it was still open! I quickly ran in into the T***** J**'s literally 2 steps away, and bought 2 vegetarian wraps, some juice and some hummus, and spent exactly what I would have spend at the Evil and Greedy and Wicked Veggie Grill to be insulted with water in my dish and some missing vegetables.
I called Anthony again at the Corporate Headquarters in Santa Monica to tell him about my horrible experience with the Veggie Grill - however, he never returned any of my phone calls! It's not the comp cards people want when they try to report their miserable experiences to you, Anthony - people want to get the benefit of their bargain, they want the food that they paid for, and they don't like going home with an empty stomach. People want consistency and they want to know that they will get what they ordered and paid for instead of being let wonder each and every time that they sit at the table whether there will be enough food to eat.
Twice already Veggie Grill had ruined my evening and sent me home with an empty stomach and very, very upset, all right before bedtime. I have never seen anything like this happen in years I've been a customer here! Veggie Grill - shame on you! Don't you know that very soon everyone else will too start noticing how you are stealing the food off the plates and how you are ripping everyone off? No one likes greed - and there's certainly no reason for it! Vegetables are plenty cheap, and there's plenty of them growing everywhere! I give thanks to the Trader Joe's where vegetarian fare is already prepared for you - otherwise, I would have nowhere to go after I come out of your Veggie Grill dining experience!The Corporate Greed is a bad look for all your veggies, Veggie Grill - change your ways before it's too late!
