Best Vegan Food I Had in NY - Edit
You choose what size bowl/plate and go down the like selecting different food items. Vegan soul food. I guess you pay by the pound? I got collard greens, bbq wings, mac and cheese, and a soursop drink. Everything was delicious.

Very yummy - Edit
Everything is delicious here. Today it was hot so I had a fresh blended veg drink and some kind of eggplant fried sandwich, which was fantastic. )Can I have that recipe?). Can’t wait to go back.

Delicious Caribbean and Caribbean inspired food! - Edit
We tried the patties and both the split peas and kale patties were amazing. We also got small plates with a mix of things but the curry chicken and collard greens were standouts. Also really liked the pholourie

Real good. real cheap. - Edit
I really loved their drumsticks! They have 10-11$ burgers/wraps (09/2025) and lots of different foods by pound! They also have some cakes but I didn’t try it.
Read moreWhat was really surprising is that they have drumsticks! So good I ended up ordering more.

Yummy soul food - Edit
It's always great to find a place like this that makes you feel like eating homemade food. Everything was great. For these two plates plus a velvet cake and Tamarindo juice, we pay $63. Pricey? Not sure because it was so much food for me that I could eat the rest for dinner, so two meals out of one plate

Very tasty but also pricey - Edit
I enjoyed most of the items I got in my bowl. Price wise it’s roughly on par with Whole Foods hot bar which always catches me out. This bowl came to $25. Some of the items were unexpectedly sweet like the jerk soy and the chili. I highly recommend the freshly made juices, mine was amazing.

Decent - Edit
Food was decent. Nothing special but not bad either. It needed salt though.
Read moreBut it's a "health" plant based type of place. So to be expected.
Cons: Saltless

Sorry, it's not good - Edit
The food was bad. The service wasn't great either.
Read moreOne charitable aspect could possibly be that I went at 8pm on a Sunday, right before they threw all the food away and started cleaning up. So maybe the food had been out in the trays being heated all day at that point.
You pay by the pound, and we know the trick these places play, which is to make the food wet so that it's heavy. And it was!
One pet peeve is that everything is disposable plastic.

Terrible - Edit
I hate to rate a vegan restaurant lowly but their food is simply not good. I got some of their curry chickpeas and the spices were so off that it literally tasted bitter. I could barely finish it even when I tried to pair it with their macaroni salad which had so much mayo it had me feeling sick after. Their "chicken legs" are also awful, so watery and extremely tough with an undesirable aftertaste. At first I thought maybe soy chicken was just really hard to make, but every other restaurant I've tried it at made it 10000000x better. The only thing I enjoyed here was an eggplant fritter, which I feel like it's hard to mess up.

Yummy, healthy and so many options! - Edit
Nice 'fast' food but with lots of healthy options and lots of variety. It was fun to have a plate of lots of different things and to pay by weight. Also lots of cakes available (the bread pudding was delicious and perfectly moist / not too sweet)
Read morePros: Ability to try EVERYTHING , interesting different mock meat options, The eggplant dish!
Cons: Not too 'cosy' on the inside

Don’t expect anything healthy here - but the Mac n’ Cheese was delicious and so is the rice and beans. Great cold food weather in Harlem.

Get eggplant and jerk tofu! - Edit
Pay by the pound amazing vegan food!
Read moreHere's what we got:
-The eggplant (stew?) was the highlight--it was like fried eggplant in a sauce. So rich and flavorful--all eggplant loves must experience.
-The drummies were GREAT as always, if you are a meat eater you're gonna find it amazing how they turned a simple plant protein into a drum stick with such a high payoff.
-The collards and quinoa fried rice did their job, nothing beyond what you'd expect but very good. -And the real surprise was the jerk tofu. I'm not a big fan of jerk seasoning--usually it's too bitter for me. But this was savory and delicious, and the texture of the tofu (or was it chick'n?) had a density that made it heartier. It was very filling.
My partner and I got the big plate and shared it. I wish they had instructed us that it was pay by the pound style, but even so it came out to some $27 and offered 3 very filling meals for us.
Pros: Lots of flavorful options, Very filling
Cons: Service was strugglz

Delicious - Edit
Food was delicious and filling.
Read moreIt is a bit pricey. The price is based on weight. If you're not getting pricey options, like veggie meat, it may not be worth it. (Still worth checking out IMO.) Average price for me was ~$14.
Pros: Taste , Quality , Options
