Great value and variety - Edit
If you enjoy stick to your ribs, seasoned, satisfying, flavorful food - come here. If there’s no seating and it’s nice weather, the park is around the corner so you can eat outside. Always friendly and energetic folks here. They often have a great day-old pastry basket for 1-4$ per item. Also a juice and smoothie bar and cakes and other deserts in the back by the register. A second and third location opening soon!
Read morePros: All vegan. , Lots of options - savory and sweet, Good protein options

Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices - Edit
For Harlem Restaurant Week, they had a deal: one meat, one starch, and one veg for $12. Everything I had was delicious -- vegan jerk chicken, chili, and rice and peas.

Great food - Edit
This is a small place with great vegan options. There are only two seats, by the window, so it's more of a takeout place.

Filling and delicious - Edit
This is a small place, with lots of food. You order at a counter; mainly asking the server to fill a plastic bowl with a selection of vegan proteins, starches, and vegetables; they charge you by the weight. They also have some other things, like patties and pastries. There is some functional outdoor seating, though this place seems most suited for takeout. (For more relaxed sit down eating nearby, Jordan Pie is a better bet; for elegant dining in Harlem, Seasoned Vegan is the best choice.)
Read moreI ordered the BBQ drumsticks, sweet potato+ yams, and collard greens, plus a patty and cornbread. All was very tasty and very filling, for a reasonable price.
Pros: Good value, friendly staff, Tasty food
Cons: More for takeout than sit-down dining

Amazing vegan food in Harlem - Edit
I remembered hearing about this place and meant to stop by to check it out for a while. While randomly walking along with 125th, I passed it and knew I needed to try it. I was not let down. The food was amazing and there were tons of things to try. Easily the top 10 vegan food I've had in my life. I got the stir fry chicken, mashed potatoes, and collard greens All were delicious. It's weighed by the pound and the pricing isn't too bad. I got an extremely large portion for around $14, no complaints. Will defiantly be coming back.

Good Vegan Food in Harlem - Edit
Got a small bowl of vegan food which consisted of quinoa, sweet potatoes, steamed veggies, chick peas and teriyaki chick’n. Food tasted good, total price not so much. FYI: all protein options are soy based. Regardless, I will still recommend this place.
Read morePros: Plenty of vegan options, Juice bar on site, Desserts are available

Worth a visit - Edit
I come here a lot because it’s the closest vegan place to my apartment. The food isn’t great but it’s good for the price and it’ll fill you up. My favorite stuff to get is the lo mein and soy curl stir fry.
Read morePros: Vegan cafeteria style buffet , Great location next to the park, Quick and friendly service

Alright - Edit
I was excited from the reviews of this place to go but it was nothing special and very expensive. The Mac and cheese had no cheese and was ok at most and the curry drumsticks didn’t taste like meat in any way and more like saggy bread. It tasted better in the morning though. I think the juices it was sitting in made it worse
Read morePros: Convenient, Quick
Cons: Expensive, Food ok

Good food - Edit
Visited this place on a whim while in the neighborhood. The service was extra friendly and fast. The food was delicious. I didn’t think it was anything different than any other Caribbean style vegan restaurants I’ve eaten at. Someone else on here pointed out the mac & cheese is very mustardy. Since I was expecting that flavor I didn’t mind too much and quite enjoyed it. If I would not have expected it, I might’ve been a little put off

good food !! Super not eco :( - Edit
It gets expensive (by weight) if you're not careful.. and everything is served in take-away plastic even if you want to dine in. No recycling either?! Food is really good but pretty basic stuff. 5 stars if they fixed that.
Read morePros: great food
Cons: could be more eco friendly, Lots of plastic even dine in

Hot, fast and friendly - Edit
We came in during the lunch rush but the server behind the counter was still friendly and attentive. She offered us samples and interacted with each customer in turn. The food was hot and delicious and they had a wide variety of baked goods, both sweet and savory, that they were able to warm up for us. The hot bar was priced by weight, so you choose a sized dish then fill it how you like. Typically fresh and refrigerated juices are available, but the fresh juice wasn't ready when we were there.

Solid Caribbean Spot - Edit
This is a wonderful place. I love all the Caribbean-inspired dishes here. I had an excellent lunch, and I hope to return. I had the curry chick'n, beans and rice, and plantains. The only thing I didn't like was an oat scone, which tasted kind of bland.

Tried and true vegan buffet - Edit
I have been a loyal customer here since before their move in 2015. They are a real gem in he community, and their owner is a nice guy along with the staff being friendly and down to earth. The juices are reasonably priced. The Yuca Mac and cheese and collards are two of my favorite hot dishes, and their hot sauce is house made and HOT 🥵 their dessert selection of cakes (Oreo, dark chocolate, cheesecake etc) is divine and I love surprising my lactose intolerant friends who come to visit with them!
