Great food, great service - Edit
The food was really good and the staff, primarily, Enrique, was exceptional! I can imagine working at a restaurant and dealing with customers all day isn't necessarily fun but he was so friendly, calm, and really seemed like he wanted us to enjoy or visit. Our food was delicious and not as outrageously priced as some other spots around NYC. We were just visiting but can't wait to visit again the next time we are in NYC!

Tellement bon!! - Edit
J'ai mangé une soupe aux lentilles en entrée, parfaitement équilibrée, et un sandwich Ruben tempeh dont la moitié a été suffisante pour me satisfaire. La "mayonnaise" du sandwich était un peu grasse à mon goût mais bonne. Je vais y retourner pour essayer le reste de leur menu dés que je retourne à NYC.

Excellent Service and delicious food - Edit
I am constantly exploring vegan restaurants around the city and this place was warm, inviting as soon as you enter. The waiter is kind and attentive. The drinks are very well curated. We got the seitan nachos, pasta and croquets. All of which were delicious and came out promptly. And to our total surprise, there was also live music! This place had a great atmosphere and I look forward to coming back.

An honor to enjoy - Edit
Oh, we'd been excited to visit this restaurant since reading Angel's story on Humans of NY.
Read moreWe were not disappointed. Our server, Eran (so sorry if I'm getting that wrong) was very informative. He gave us good suggestions and seemed to be genuinely and authentically happy and proud to be there.
It's a place I recommend everyone visit, even if just to support the people who have been fighting for the grassroots movement to keep us healthy and in alignment with a better world. Thank you!

Exquisite experience! - Edit
I recently learned of Caravan of Dreams on my favorite radio station, 1010 WINS. I decided to check them out on a Friday evening. The vibe was calm and peaceful. It was beautiful inside. I ordered the Creamy Sesame Miso Ramen, and it was fresh, flavorful, and downright delicious! The gentleman waiter, Aaron (sp?), was a real gem. Suffice it to say, I WILL be back!

The brunch price fixe was great. Got the cuban delight with tofu which was yummy! My sister got the raw sampler entree which was way too little food for $29. We also got the carrot cake which was too crumbly-- peacefood's carrot cake is way better.

Great food and service - Edit
The food was well seasoned and interesting. It is expensive, but worth it.
Read moreThe cocktails were refreshing- Jalapeño Margarita and Lemon Blossom. The tapas appetizer showed off the different sauces available.
Wine was very good.
Loved the raw ravioli and filling. The seitan stir fry was very flavorful.
The brownie dessert was tasty, but too much whipped cream and not enough brownie or ice cream. Next time I would have the ice cream.
Once a month there is a jazz combo. Well worth the listen.
Easy to get to by public transportation.
We will definitely be back and get the Plant Powered Plate!!!!

Vegan and raw vegan options - Edit
I love that it’s all vegan and I love they have a raw vegan menu! Although the raw vegan options are pretty basic and plain and the prices are so wild (expensive).
Read moreThe staff is very sweet and kind and patient so I’m only gonna take one star off for that reason. I wouldn’t go again bc it’s not too special but definitely worth trying out if you’ve never been😊

Meat Eaters Welcome - Edit
I eat a raw vegan diet and my husband eats a meat diet but occasionally, he will eat vegan food like he did at this place on New Year's Day.
Read moreI was happy to finally be at a restaurant that had many raw vegan options; I'd say enough to term this place as a vegan/raw vegan restaurant and not just a raw vegan friendly restaurant.
We ordered a mix of vegan and raw vegan dishes and my husband enjoyed the raw vegan dishes just as much as he did his vegan dishes.
The food was very good; the meals were creative, beautifully plated and the portion sizes were good. The dessert was also very tasty and the presentation was equally very nice but in comparison it might have been on the small side.
Also, the waiter was friendly and very accommodating. There was a bit of an issue with the credit card but all in all, my husband says he would still come back here AND he'd recommend other meat eaters eat here.
FYI, the waiter says there is a band here every night so, we plan on coming back and after I checked in on social media that day, a vegan friend of mine reached out to say they've eaten here many times before and always loved it.

Hearty and healthy - Edit
A cute, cozy East Village spot. I would call the menu old-school vegan — you won’t find a beyond burger anywhere. But it’s hearty and comforting and healthy! I loved the sampler platter and Mac n cheese (which I think was a special). The service was wonderful and they have live music sometimes!

Love this vibe! - Edit
Loved the old school vegan vibe. Very cool environment and I loved the live band. The after dinner herbal tea was delicious. I got the caravan tapas as my appetizer which was a great way to sample all the dips, so good with the raw bread! I got the raw nori rolls as my entree because I wanted a small portion and this is what they recommended, good flavors. The mango and coconut pie was delicious, so light and airy!

Disappointed - Edit
Hurried by wait staff. No guidance given concerning the menu choices. Dessert delivered before coffee which had to be requested twice. Very amateur 3 piece band. Weird piano noodling between songs. Canned music between the group’s sets was preferable. Seems like the restaurant is resting on its laurels of being oldest vegan restaurant in NYC. Both our sandwich meals were mediocre. Avoid the N.A. Sangria - tasted like kool aid. House N.A. red wine not available. Waste of a $50 cab ride.
