Vegan Dreams Come True Here! - Edit
I'm a vegan of 6 years and I often crave soul food that is full of flavor. This restaurant took that to another level! I had the beef empanada and oxtails, and it is all divine! From walking in and being greeted by the amazing and kind owner to the food and decor, this place is phenomenal! I'm going to miss it so much when I go back to Texas.

Vibrant fusion of Dominican and Trinidadian flavors - Edit
HAAM in South Williamsburg serves a vibrant fusion of Dominican and Trinidadian flavors. The space feels refreshing the moment you step inside, with its large windows, bold green wallpaper, and tasteful decor.
Read moreWe ordered the Steak and Rice along with Yuh Motha’s Mofongo. The "steak" chunks had a perfect sear that anchored the entire plate. For drinks, the guava and passion fruit juice offered a sharp, tropical contrast. While the menu is naturally plant-forward, there are plenty of solid gluten-free options like the mofongo and tostones.
The staff, specifically Elise, was engaging and provided informed recommendations. Even if you aren't local to this part of Brooklyn, the experience makes it well worth the trip.

A hit with my Omni friends - Edit
I came here with some Omni friends and they loved it! The nachos and plantain boat were particularly big hits. The mofongo was probably my favorite but everything was good. The only downside was that it was really loud and hard to hear people across the table from me. Felt like I was shouting all evening.

Merece mucho la pena ir - Edit
Llevaba tiempo con ganas de ir a este restaurante y la verdad es que ha sido una de las primeras veces que he sentido que comía algo elaborado, de sabores intensos, de calidad y saludable, una combinación que en Nueva York no me parece tan fácil de encontrar. Como iba sola no pude probar más que un plato porque, aunque parezcan pequeños, son saciantes. Me quedé con ganas de probar el resto de la carta porque todo lo que salía de cocina tenía una pinta estupenda. La camarera que me atendió fue muy amable y el espacio está muy bien decorado.

Missing these flavors - Edit
I love vegan Caribbean food, and my son and I made the trip here from NJ on a special occasion. We arrived in time for brunch, and their brunch menu was different from what was posted online so I no longer remember the names of the dishes we got. I got something that was like a chicken and cheesy waffles dish. My son got a dish of eggs and cassava fries with a side of mac and cheese. I got the cassava pone for dessert. Everything was delicious and we got to take our time eating.

👍 - Edit
This place is fantastic, I don’t have that much to add. Everything we tried was great and big portions. The passionfruit cheesecake was maybe the best cheesecake I’ve ever had.

Good but a bit confused - Edit
Started with a hibiscus margarita which was excelllent. Good balance of flavours and the sugar rim offset the sour of the hibiscus.
Read moreWas informed they had a new menu! I ordered the Sunday best which was a baked mac and cheese pie, potato salad, watercress salad, yellow rice and maduros (I think this was a fried plantain?)
Unfortunately the star of the dish (mac cheese) was tough dry and (almost un edible ). Guessing it was pre cooked and sat all night (sucking up all the sauce). Yellow rice was amazing! Potato salad with strained beets was under-seasoned.
I added on the steak for an extra $8 and it was amazing! Sinewy and chared. Pretty sure it was the pre made “chunk” brand and not house made.
A bit of a confused dish. without the steak it was carb on carb on carb. The sweet maduros tasted like a fried doughnut- which would have worked had the mac and cheese pie been spicy.
Think I ordered the wrong thing. Wound like to return to try something better.

This is a top-notch all-vegan place in Williamsburg. The food is creatively made with a subtle mix of flavors. The service, presentation, and atmosphere are also top-notch. The restaurant is classy and yet relaxed, a real treat in every way. 😀

A gem in Brooklyn - Edit
Haam completely exceeded expectations. The mofongo with oyster mushrooms was rich, savory, and perfectly textured — a fantastic plant-based twist on a classic. The chimichurri steak was tender and bursting with flavor, beautifully balanced by the bright kale salad. And the grand finale? A passion fruit cheesecake that was both tangy and creamy — absolutely unforgettable.
Read moreThe atmosphere is warm and stylish without trying too hard, and the service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A perfect spot for a cozy night out or a special meal. Can’t wait to come back.
Pros: Mofongo
Cons: The passion fruit cheese cake could be less sweet

Only here to confirm what others have said - Edit
One of the things I love best is vegan restaurants that show how vegan food can be delicious on its own. Food that doesn't have to pretend to be something it's not (meat). I can absolutely confirm that this is the case with HAAM.
Read moreOne thing I also hate when I go out to eat is the feeling that I could make the dish at home for less. This is a high bar because I love to cook. I can say that I could never make this kind of food at home.
The service was fantastic very welcoming and kind.
Pros: Service, Flavors, Atmosphere

Taste so amazing - Edit
Wow I feel so much love from this meal😄thank you so so so much😄
Read moreThe ordering system here is very modern, it’s a giant factory industrial building , it’s not a regular restaurant, and there’s no dine in area, you have to order on the app, either Ubereats, Grubhub , seemless or DoorDash , and pick it up from the closet with the numbers by the window. It’s a very high tech system
Wow I love the Mofongo!!! It tastes nothing like the one my dad took me to, this one is made out of plantain, I can just eat it straight without curry sauce !! It’s just so amazing !!!!

Excellent food. - Edit
Decided to head from Manhattan to Brooklyn to dine at HAAM as I’ve been wanting to try their food for a while. It did not disappoint. I ordered their island onigiri, mofongo, and a guava juice. Everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the presentation of the mofongo. Can’t wait to come back and try more things on their menu.
