Great spot - Edit
The best sheet pan nachos I’ve ever had. Make sure you try them while you’re here. Good location with lots of space. Very friendly & fast service.

Maybe a bit pricey, but very good - Edit
Went in today for the first time. Had a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries, the tofu in peanut sauce, and they threw in a sample of an eggplant appetizer for free, which I appreciate. I really enjoyed everything I got, very much in fact. Just know that it is expensive, though a lot of vegan places are, so it's not like a unique criticism of this place in particular. I'll definitely be back.

One of the best — a GEM! - Edit
Cultivate is incredible…. One of the best vegan comfort food style restaurants in NJ and maybe in the country. Every single thing we ordered was 100% on point in terms of flavor, portion size, and presentation. We got the eggplant parm sandwich, a couple of different kinds of burgers, chili cheese fries, noodles, and every dessert on their menu. We loved everything!
Read moreCustomer service was also top notch with friendly and knowledgeable servers. They accommodated dietary requests (hold the X, substitute with Y) and facilitated us sharing things family style.
The restaurant itself was a cozy, chill, clean, and stylish spot inside. Outside was a bit odd… felt very industrial and random, but that’s Rahway, I guess!
Can’t wait to go back. This place is a new fave!
Pros: Flavors are ON POINT! , Friendly staff , Desserts made in house and are delicious
Cons: The fact that it’s in Rahway!

Favorite Vegan Restaurant - Edit
Found this place quite by accident but I've been there several times since. I've never had a bad meal and always leave there full (with a doggie bag). I like using my phone to order my food and pay the bill when I am ready to leave. Everyone I've taken there raved about it.
Read morePros: The food is fantastic (love the Fried Shrooms), Nice ambiance, staff is friendly and helpful, Plenty of on site parking
Cons: Only open 4 days a week

Hands down….favorite vegan place - Edit
I don’t even know where to start. Their food is always amazing and you really can’t go wrong. My favorite is the nachos though. Best vegan queso ever. Had the chicken Caesar wraps last time and they were great too.

Delicious and simple veg-friendly - Edit
I really enjoy the menu here. It's a mellow atmosphere, very minimalist aesthetic that is clearly intentionally Instagram/TikTok friendly but always a good vibe.

Omg this place is amazing! My husband loved his nachos! I absolutely loved the eggplant! One of the best eggplant dishes I've had! And their cheese on the eggplant is so smooth and creamy and delicious! The po boy sandwich, rigatoni, and peri peri fries were all delicious as well. We live in Brooklyn but will definitely be returning!!

Date Night Approved - Edit
My non-vegan husband took me here for a date night and oh my god, it was amazing! I haven't had vegan food this great since living in Brooklyn, NY. I highly recommend everything on the menu. We got the nacho cheese tray, mushroom calamari, eggplant Napoleon, and the not-so-chicken sandwich. He can't even wait to come back.

Modern and delicious - Edit
The look of the restaurant is great. It feels very open, casual, and new. It isn't overly upscale but also isn't a dive.
Read moreThe system to order at the table via the QR code was so easy to use. It automatically selects the table you scan and it shows their whole menu. You order food to a tab and can place orders for snacks, meals, sides, desserts, drinks and everything. I was very peopled out and being able to just sit and scan and not have to make small talk with anyone was really nice after a hard day. I also love the control of timing my food like I could order my meal or dessert first or together or separately.
That all being said the people who work here do come over and check on you periodically to make sure you have everything you need.
The quality of the food is fantastic! I had the Napoleon Eggplant, fries, and a creme brulee. It all was so fresh and made to order. I also liked all the customization of food available. You could order bigger portions or smaller or add stuff or leave it off.
Amazing restaurant and I will have to come here again!
Pros: The app, The food, The huge portions

My new favorite in NJ - Edit
Nice ambiance, clean, open, airy and cozy. Convenient parking. Portions are good size. I wanted to try everything from the menu! I need to come back many times. The Not a Chicken Sandwich was probably the best vegan chicken sandwich that I have ever had, crispy, delicious, and fresh. The chocolate peanut butter tart is beautiful and creamy. I took home the chocolate and walnut cookies and I loved it!

Hidden gem with delicious food!! - Edit
Found this restaurant on Happy Cow. The food was ahhhhmazing. I ordered the sheet pan nachos (excellent), buffalo chicken sandwich (excellent), crispy fried shrooms (excellent) and the walnut, chocolate chip cookies. The, "Buffalo not a chicken sandwich" was probably the best I've had. The cookies were baked to order. They were so darn good. I can't wait to go back.
