50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Garfield

“My husband and I first heard about this place from King Schratz and I’m so glad we did!

Yes, like others have mentioned, it is a bit pricey, but it's absolutely worth it. The food is consistently delicious and you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. My husband loves their tacos and burrito, and I’m a big fan of their elotes, tacos and taco bowls. Even my 79-year-old mother, who normally isn’t a fan of Mexican food, loves theirs. That alone says a lot!

Their tres leches is also incredible. I’ve sampled a lot of tres leches cakes in my life and theirs easily jumped to the top of my list.

Beyond the food, the customer service is just as impressive. Two of the owners, Jay and Kike, are always so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They even offer delivery, and their driver, Juan, is just as awesome! In this day and age, it’s rare to find a Mexican spot that’s both authentic and Latino-owned... and Just Tacos is exactly that. We’re more than happy to keep supporting them!“

“Good service and clean Ample parking.“

“In New Jersey, it’s really difficult to find appealing vegan options. This shop blows every other option in NJ out of the water!
The pizzas are delicious, my S/O and I have tried the buffalo, BBQ, pepperoni pizzas and the garlic knots and they are all so delicious!
Most of all, ever since going vegan, I just came to terms with the fact that I would never be able to have a good calzone ever again. The VEGAN CALZONES HERE ARE SO DELICIOUS and they are HUGE!!! You have to try them! And I am sure that the non-vegan options are just as delicious as it’s not so easy to have a good vegan menu but they have it down pat! I should have written this review a long time ago and for that I apologize!
The owners here are so sweet too. They are great people! Please try something from here you won’t regret it!

Vegetarian options: VEGAN OPTIONS ARE AMAZING“

“Pizza isn't my style. I prefer well done and less cheese. This slice was covered from tip to crust in cheese but was floppy. Taste was good. Garlic knots were just ok. The sauce was good and the knots were light and airy but taste was ehh. Service was good. $9.50 for one slice, 5 garlic knots and a Snapple“

“If you want an amazing taco, hit up The Hive for Taco Tuesday or any night!!! Simple and very tasty tacos at a very reasonable price. My favorite is the chicken and they are $3 a piece on Tuesday. They also have a beat the clock special for margaritas starting at 4:00. Jessica and Hamsel were super attentive and very friendly. Bar is clean and organized. It’s our favorite place to go for tacos, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!!!“

“Fantastic food, reasonable prices, excellent service. PS Kitchen sets the standard for manhattan eateries with a conscience and a heart … and the creativity of an experiential culinary artist. The vibe is great. The food is better. Highly recommend“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“The most incredible meal I have ever had. Thank you.“

“Excellent service and food“

“very good food excellent service great bbq fj“

“Exquisite food, atmosphere, and experience. 10/10 must try!!“

“We came here for my husband’s birthday and had such a great experience! The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and our food came out quickly. I highly recommend getting the whipped ricotta dip — it’s incredible. Also, the Ricotta & Spinach Börek Rolls are an absolute must. We also tried the kebab platter, and the tofu-mushroom skewer was especially delicious. For dessert, the ekmek kataifi was a fun surprise — unlike anything I’ve had before, and definitely worth trying! Updated from previous review on 2025-11-04“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“amazing place, we have a great dinner. thank you.“

“Highly recommended for vegans ❤️“

“Had their food couple of times and its mouth watering.“

“service was awesome, very attentive and very fast. The food was delicious 😋“

“A fully vegan Korean restaurant situated right in the heart of Manhattan?! My west coast heart is pounding in jealousy and longing to return once again. It's often very hard to find restaurants that serve fully vegan Korean food so the fact that this exists is truly special. A lot of items will be vegetarian at best so to be able to have an extensive menu to order from is a treat. My friends and I came here for lunch and were seated fairly quickly in their hip restaurant. I ordered a couple of things: - Combination Pancakes consisting of sweet corn cilantro, scallion & spicy kimchi offerings. This was their take on traditional Korean jeon and I didn't realize they'd bring out so many small pieces for the table. My favorite was definitely the sweet corn cilantro. - Crispy Korean Chili Tofu Lunch Special, which included a soup and salad of the day as well as two additional banchan (including a pancake!) The tofu was fried to sweet perfection and the chili sauce was top notch. There ended up being more than enough food just from this alone. I hope this spot sticks around because I'll certainly be coming back to fill my Korean cravings without needing to play around with the menu at other restaurants.

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“I love green curry, if I could eat just one food for the rest of my life it's green curry so I'm picky when I try a new place and this place was INCREDIBLE!!! I inhaled this dish like it was my last meal and wanted more, and great service“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“We are so thankful to have Candle right by our apt!! Their Black Bean Quinoa burgers and Chickpea Burgers are amazing-we order them 2x a week!! Great soups, great kind staff, just overall a great neighborhood gem.“

“This was the most delicious Georgian food I’ve had since I was in Georgia. Our server, Marite, was a delight. She made wonderful wine recommendations. We will definitely eat here again.“

“Lobster cocktail was very good; alcoholic drinks were very good; Empire filet was terrific with the home fries. We were celebrating our 53rd wedding anniversary and my 53 rd birthday. Albert, one of the managers was wonderful and comped our dessert and after dinner drinks.“

“Been wanting to go here since they opened! Definitely worth the wait! Amazing food at an affordable price. Staff is welcoming and extremely nice! Also being in the heat in the city walking in here felt so relaxing and a great place to cool off and enjoy a great vegan burger!“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“Best food ever“

“Food was great and service was very quick. Nice ambiance as well.“

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“We have been following this establishment and have been looking forward to visiting for a while. Great food and great staff. Vegan on the Fly is a reason for us to set foot on Manhattan again! Thank you!“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“My new favorite restaurant!!! The food is amazing.“

“We had a great dinner tonight at Happy Vegans. We were greeted warmly and offered a taste of their special dish kofta, which is a delicious mix of spices, tomato and bulgur. I had the happy vegan burger which was huge with three patties made from kofka, lettuce tomatoes and a large serving of fries. We were given mayonnaise and ketchup to dip the fries in. Baklava for dessert. I highly recommend this charming restaurant. Easy street parking.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“I’ve been vegan for 8 years and IDK how i haven’t heard of this place before but literally the best vegan food from a restaurant that I’ve ever had. I had the steak and egg tacos and the tres leche cake…Amaaaazing I’m literally in love with the place“

“Went 1st time today for my Birthday - it was GREAT!💙👍“

“Without question, my favorite vegan restaurant in NYC! The drinks, food, and desserts are all equally delightful. The portions are huge and an excellent value. Very thankful to have access to such masterfully created nutritious and delicious food.“

“lots of food for a good price!“

“I love eating the plant base food with so much flavor, their juices are amazing!“

“I went in for something sweet, though the line was long — it moved quickly.

Food looked amazzzzzing — I was drooling & I will definitely have to go back for my Tibetan Mama Bowl…

Went w. The chocolate chip pecan cookie (…which was the perfect soft but yet crispy cookie) and the raw mango cake (not currently listed on their take out menu) — THE RAW MANGO CAKE stole. the. show...my goodness, it was just amazing. I wish I had gotta four pieces lol

& all the above was washed down by an in-house made ice green tea, perfection!“

“This place is delicious!! I had chilaquiles and they were so good, so fresh. The Mexican vanilla coffee was out of the world. The conchas are home made. The staff was great, very friendly and kind. Everyone else’s food looked amazing too! I look forward to coming back!“

“Had an amazing dinner at Junoon! The atmosphere is elegant and cozy. The staff was friendly and knew the menu well. Every dish was full of rich, authentic flavors, and the presentation was beautiful. Loved the creative desserts too. Definitely a top spot for Indian fine dining in NYC!“

“Super yummy. First time. INCREDIBLE crispy chicken sandwich. Also got side of beets and a side of carrots. Both fabulous.
Can’t wait to make this a work-lunch staple.

Also at ‘only’ $9, the chicken sandwich is an incredible price to quality for NYC!“

“Excellent and comfortable affordable“

“Visited on Wednesday night to celebrate mine and my husbands wedding that day and as soon as we walked in we were greeted by lovely friendly staff. We were seated quickly and were introduced to our server. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was fantastic. We opted for the Korean bacon to start and we both had the butchers feast. Outstanding. The steak was beautiful and the dishes that came with it were amazing too. The short rib and egg soufflé were my favourite. Thank you for letting us celebrate our wedding day in your restaurant.“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“Fun place and a great beer selection.“

“Amazing food and service. Exceeded expectations!“

“Finally able to visit and so happy I did. My drink, Dutch Revival, is my new favorite cocktail. The winter flatbread was delicious. Loved the vibe and hospitality.“
