Patrick HurleyAugust 19, 2015The Mexican Lasagne was flavorful and complex. I wanted more more more.
PierreOctober 28, 2017Order and pick up. Don’t stay: we sat and ordered then waited for a long time. When we asked where the food was, we were told there had been a lot of pickup orders. Service was inattentive anyway.
Kara BrookJuly 8, 2011I love setien chimichuri but the indian plate is tops!! Best vegan restaurant in NYC!
Scott BelskyAugust 12, 2011Say hi to mehdi, and my favorite dish is Tofu Club with soy cheese. Amazing
Dorothy MDecember 19, 2010If you don't have a reservation, put your name on the list and be patient. The food is 100% worth the wait
Cajun Seitan Sandwich is the best sandwich ever invented.
Anna SvobodaMarch 29, 2010Get a shot of wheat grass, the Cajun Seitan sandwich and Carrot Cake. Makes for a guaranteed good time.
Cheapeats IncSeptember 24, 2011Think Vegetarian cooking is boring? Well not anymore. Outstanding!!!! You won't miss the meat.
Alyssa YeagerJune 5, 2010Not just vegetarian, this restaurant is entirely vegan. Surprise! You would never know that the cheese on the fab Tuscan Seitan Parmesan Sandwich is not dairy cheese, or that the seitan is not meat.
This is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in America. Great cookbook too.

"Tried a little of everything. The #bonelessroastpork looks, tastes, and smells the same as actual roast pork. Definitely try the #vegetarianmeat. You won't be disappointed."

"Challah french toast, soups, blintzes, pierogies. A NYC institution, remnant of a bygone era, and one of my favorite places on the planet."

"One of my favorite places to get lost in the city. An amazing Oasis in the middle of the cement jungle. Always something for everyone. Make sure to go further in the park and get away from tourists."
Lenny Gallo - 9.2
"Best museum in Manhattan. Gorgeous new building holds thoughtfully curated, human scale exhibits on modern artists working in our time. Special amazing place. Take a little time to enjoy the view too"
