50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Hawthorne

“I was craving a smoothie and empanadas when I stumbled upon this local spot near our shop. I made my own banana and papaya smoothie, and it was absolutely amazing! I also tried the spinach and cheese, as well as the chicken parm empanadas. I've never had such unique flavors in an empanada before, but I must say they were incredibly delicious and packed with flavor! I’ll definitely be going back and highly recommend others to give it a try!“

“What do you do when your son eats your leftover enchiladas on Friday night? You go back on Saturday! Husband had the steak salad. Lots of steak.“

“Chef Melissa Mak is amazing. We’ve been dining at The Front Porch regularly for the past 12 months and not only is the food creative and delicious (Asian fusion pub food, so YUMMY!), the staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome. We’ve had almost everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.“

“As a Queens native who moved to Jersey, finding a spot that feels like home is no easy task. But Bogies Hoagies has made the transition so much easier! Their sandwiches are absolutely incredible—packed with flavor, and they've got a style all their own. They even remind me of the legendary subs at Sal, Chris & Charlie’s in Astoria. This place is definitely a local staple, and I’m so glad I found it. If you’re craving a delicious, satisfying sandwich, Bogies Hoagies is a must-visit! So much variety and wonderful service.“

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

“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.“

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

“Freakin Vegan elevates mac and cheese with their textured pork and tangy BBQ sauce but forgets the most important part. That topping is delicious, but the mac and cheese is less cheese and more of a thinly coated macaroni. I found myself wanting more of a gooey, saucy yellow cheese, mixing and swirling with the tangy BBQ. This Mac is great, but with the addition of a cheese sauce, this Mac could elevate even higher.“

“My husband and I had our first visit at lunch today and the food was delicious. It’s great to find a place with a large vegan menu. We will definitely come again!“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Try the mixed grilled sampler, and the desserts are espectacular!!!“

“Margarita Pizza was delicious. Will definitely be back to try some more adventurous styles.“

“Awesome!!! I am in here multiple times per week. My go to is co co pow WOW which is incredible.

If you like strawberry banana then go with kinky reggae.

The one thing that very few baristas do is they give you overspill of half a cup or something but sometimes I watch them either throw it out or pour it into another cup and put in fridge. Maybe that's for them. I dunno. I always love when the person gives me the extra!!“

“El concepto es muy padre y bonito. Me sentí en México por un momento. El sabor de la comida excelente. Pero mi mesera me descuidó y nunca me preguntó cómo estaba todo, nunca pasó a preguntar si ocupaba algo. No se ganó la propina, pero ya me la cobraron en la cuenta.“

“😍 I Love ❤️ their chicken and steak 🥩 tacos 🌮 and their Melanesa steak 🥩 sandwich 🥪 🥰❤️“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“We hosted a surprise 60th birthday party this past weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the first call to set it up to the moment we walked out the door, the staff made sure it was such a great experience. The people who work there are so attentive and kind. The managers Bryan and Kelly were so helpful in planning our party and Ivan is a rockstar. He took care of our party of 20 and made sure we had everything we needed. We never had to look for him, he was always checking on us and providing excellent service. He truly is so great at what he does. We had a sit down lunch in their cottage room which was so nicely decorated. the space was perfect. We felt like we were in our own restaurant. It was cozy but spacious and they were so accommodating with how we wanted it set up. We were able to bring balloons and decorations and the staff even helped us set up. They had a curtain up in the doorway so we were able to really surprise the guest of honor. Our lunch was delicious. We chose to do the seated option with 3 shareable apps and we picked a menu of 4 main meals from their party menu. Most of us ordered the shepherds pie and it was some of the best we had ever had. The presentation was cute. It came in a skillet which was served on a board with Irish soda bread. It was so delicious. The show stopper was the shareable Irish egg rolls. We couldn’t stop talking about them. The drinks were really good and the bar staff was really attentive to the party. The kids ordered from the long kids menu and they really enjoyed theirs as well. The pricing was very reasonable and worth every penny. We were able to bring our own cake and they cut it up and served it for us which was so nice. I can’t thank them enough for how special they made this experience. Everyone in our party had such an amazing time. The staff here are incredible. I would absolutely consider them for your next party.“

“Been wanting to go here since I was a kid and I finally got to go.

I was not disappointed in the slightest with my experience. The staff was super awesome and friendly. The show and servers were extremely organized and helpful. The experience is most definitely all there and I would go back again.

The merch there is also very very cool.

I would highly recommend this for all families and groups, you will not be disappointed.“

“Tonight I had the pleasure to dine at Bici restaurant in Ramsey, NJ. From the minute I walked in, I knew I was going to like it! You are greeted in such a warm and friendly manner. One of the owners, Marcello makes his rounds around the room speaking to his customers and making you feel at home. Everything I ordered was delicious and the waiters are so polite and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere and I will be back again. Thank you staff for your hospitality. It’s a BYOB. It’s a small restaurant with outdoor dining. Definitely 5 stars!!!!!“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“My son has food allergies and as soon as we started inquiring about ingredients, the associate called for their designated allergy handler. Before we even got into his specific allergies, she wiped down the prep area, changed her gloves and showed us their allergy binder. She prepped everything right in front of us and chose ingredients from under the counter as to avoid cross contamination. Bravo, Jiya! When casually talking with the owner, he mentioned having friends with food allergies so he definitely understood the severity of being diligent with prep. We were so impressed by the process, we ate here twice on our trip. And yes - the pizza was quite delicious!“

“Good service and clean Ample parking.“

“I’m visiting NJ (lived here for a long time) and wanted to eat some of my favorite foods. I ordered dinner from port of peri peri and it was perfectly cooked but missing my fries. I let that be known to the restaurant and received a small refund. Next night, I ordered dinner again and I received a large order of fries on the house as well as a discount card for 5% for dine in orders valid for one more week. Amazing customer service. If I were in NJ longer, I would surely order again! The food is absolutely delicious 😋“
