One man Stunt Show - Veg. Paradise - Edit
My best friend and I were wanting to avoid cooking dinner so we decided to try out The Vegetarian Paradise. We were not disappointed. There is one man calling, making and serving the orders. I think everything is made to order and it is WELL-WORTH the wait. For more photos and to read my full review visit bananaselrahc.com.
Pros: Good and friendly customer service, Good portion sizes, Great prices
Cons: Restaurant needs love from the community, Waiting period, Need TLC love - It's not busted but not it's best

Good Food Long Wait - Edit
I've been a customer since VP was called Atomic Juices. The food is great but you will be in for a very long wait. Sometimes you will be waiting 10-15 minutes before they take your order. In many cases they run out of some products extremely quickly ie. Tufu and Veggie Patties which seem to be a top seller however you will be a lucky customer if you are able to buy consistently. They have a large selection of juices and smoothies but they are VERY over priced. Each additional additive ( equivalent to a tbsp ) is priced $2-$3 each??? Therefore it's quite easy to order a $12-$15 drink. I can make several of the same drinks at home for the amount of one drink @ VP
Pros: Good Food
Cons: Slow Service/ Long Waits, Over Priced Drinks, Limited Availability

this food is delicious - Edit
I decided to give this place a try. I'm so happy that I did. The veggie burger was delicious. They offer so many healthy options. I also got the ground "beef" wirh steamed vegetables. I have been having a hard time getting my daughter to eat vegan but she devoured this food. I will definitely be going back.

Great Food but Unappealing Environment - Edit
I came here 2 years ago and left immediately. I decided to give it a second try today with a little more of an open mind and the following was my experience. This place is easy to find using GPS but the exterior of the shopping center and neighborhood is unappealing. The interior of the eatery is clean (health/safety rating was A) but bland and uninviting. There is very little seating and very little food on display. That said... The staff is friendly and the food is very good with a little Caribbean kick. I will return here. If you are open-minded and willing to look beyond the aesthetics then this place might also be for you.
Pros: great food, friendly staff
Cons: eatery interior, neighborhood

no - Edit
the most intelligent restaurant I've ever been in. Very unimpressive.. Really limited selection and nothing sounded appetizing. 4 other people in there with me and no one was being helped. I'm glad there was no one behind the counter, actually, because I would have felt kinda bad when I turned around and walked back out. This was no paradise, and I'm not just being a vegan snob! Here's your warning, people of happy cow...

Really Special - Edit
the Vegetarian Paradise is the bomb!! I love carribean food and they sure are doin it right. They give samples of many items. Also, the drinks are out of this world!!!! The smoothies and juices they make are really special, I don't see a selection like this anywhere else on the east coast. This place is definitely worth a visit or two! Big ups to the paradise. they are doing it right!
Pros: Yummy, Fabulous Drinks, Affordable
Cons: A little out of the way

So happy I Found This Place - Edit
Thanks to my handy HappyCow App I found Vegetarian Paradise. The food was so good. I didn't miss the meat at all... The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and helped me decided what to get since it was my first time and I have only been Vegan for 6 months.
I had the "steak" w/ brown rice and peas and salad. I also tried the Ackee patty (it was so good my 15 month old ate most of it so I ordered her another one). I wast hesitant about getting the "steak", but I'm so glad I went with his suggestion. The taste and texture was on point!
This is about to be my go to for Vegan spot... and lucky for me it wasn't that far from my house.
Keep up the good work Vegetarian Paradise!!! Can't wait to come back. It may be this week :-)
Pros: Excellent Food, Great Price, Good quality
Cons: I can't go every day

Great Food and Friendly Service - Edit
The food here is great and the homemade drinks are soooo good and refreshing. The staff is also very pleasant and the environment gives you that "back home family" restaurant feeling. Call your order in ahead of time and you will eliminate the wait if wait is a problem.
Pros: Excellent, Healthy, Friendly Staff

Wonderful - Edit
This is a great restaurant with some wonderful food. The is great flavor. The wait can sometimes seem long, however, with the excellent and friendly service (along with the delicious food) you won't mind the wait. My husband found this place on his way to work and I have been in love with it from day one.
