50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Irvington

“I've hit up Cynthia's more times than my waistband can handle, and let me tell you, the food is consistently amazing—mouthwatering, always the same great quality, and they serve portions big enough to make your grandma proud. Cynthia's is nothing like Chipotle when it comes to portion size; you won't leave hungry! Plus, the service is so good, I half expect them to roll out a red carpet for me.

I live out of state, but whenever I'm off to the airport, I call ahead either the same day or the day before, and they always hook me up. I used to detour all the way to Queens for some grub before flying out of Newark. But ever since I found Cynthia's, Queens is dead to me! I've saved $40 in tolls, and you bet I spend every dime of it on more Cynthia's food. Honestly, it's the best investment I've ever made—my stomach and I couldn't be happier!

Vegetarian options: Doubles, roti, lentil peas soup (Tuesday), and many more.“

“KB’s just catered my daughter’s 3rd birthday and I literally want to plan another party just to serve this food to my friends and family again. Every guest raved about the food! We had ribs, chicken wings, potato salad, baked beans, yams, cornbread and the BEST mac n’ cheese we’ve ever eaten. Additionally they were super friendly and easy to work with and super punctual with delivery. 10 out of 10!“

“Food was excellent!!!!! Service was awesome a 10/10!!!“

“Yummy good priced vegan food! Me and my dad got the philly cheesesteak with side of plaintains and the black eyed pea burger with side of sweet potatoes fries. Our favorite was the black eyed pea burger! The hibiscus tea is delicious!! I would come back again ?

Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan“

“I absolutely love the vibrant, modern, and minimalist atmosphere! The food is nothing short of spectacular—every bite is a burst of flavor! Plus, the service is top-notch and truly exceptional. Parking is a breeze, making it even easier to enjoy this fantastic experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a remarkable vegan food adventure!“

“Nate was awesome! Worked within budget and everything came out delicious! He was professional and prepared- it was an aspect of the party that we didn’t have to worry about! Will use again. Thank you!“

“My first time going there and the food was good. I got the fried mushroom platter with wild rice, chickpeas and salad. I felt good eating the food. It wasn't greasy or had me feel like crap while eating it. I'm from Philly and was visiting Newark for the weekend, but when I come back, I will be going there again. #vegan #blackowned #italisvital“

“The establishment was impeccably clean, and the service was truly exceptional. The food was outstanding - it had excellent flavors, was cooked to perfection, and was not oily in the slightest. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite. What's more, the customer service was top-notch, with our server providing attentive and efficient assistance throughout the meal. Come by you will not regrets it! The chofan was our favorite!“

“So I’ve been here before. This review is based off of all the times I’ve came. This would be about my fourth time here and this time I was put in the far back with a group of bratty kids and useless adults. I came with my husband on his bday and I can’t understand why they stuck us in a section with like 25 brats who decided they wanted to battle with their plastic toys IN FRONT OF MY VIEW. They should be in their own section and away from couples, friends, or even a family of 4. Any parties or whatever they were should’ve been in their own section it was unpleasant to hear these kids misbehaving and ruining our time. I barely could hear what’s going on or see because most of the time they can’t sit on their butts and the adult near us gave the excuse of “they are 7 years old” like so are my cousins and they arent brats like these. If they are told to sit they dont get right back up in 10 seconds.“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“Nice food and good customer service, only parking is hard to find.Had dinner food quality and quantity both were good.Resturant is small in size and has only 4 booth that I have seen.Nice and warm atmosphere inside. Open sitting arrangement outside as well. If all 4 booths are occupied then you have to wait and waiting area has only 1 couple seat, more than 2 persons have to wait outside.“

“If you want fresh and clean ingredients this the place!“

“the food was out of this world cant wait to go back“

“Great Service! Excellent Food and Delicious Pastries“

“Healthy food, healthy environment Taste great!“

“The food is delicious!
I got the original chicken with rice platters and one chicken mix gyro wrap. Excellent and momma is really hard to please. We’re transplants from NYC and with NYC being at the top of the dining out / take home capital it is tough for many States and counties to compete with the flavor and cooking styles easily found in NYC just around every corner.

OMGRYRO easily hits all the marks with the exception of the Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken flavor profile is no bueno in my humble opinion and that is because it doesn’t come close to tasting like jerk seasoning and can’t compare to true jerk style flavor.

Everything else is we ordered and devoured tasted great, high on flavor with decent portion sizes.

Hope they put the Jerk Season flavor to the chicken NYC style.“

“I’ve never had Turkish food but I decided to try it out and it was delicious, I had the donor with lamb and beef and the chicken vegetable soup. Everything was great and good portions too. The bread they brought to the table was amazing as well as the Turkish tea“

When I went he personally came & show the table even though He was not working at my table. Pratikbhai is excellent every time. He ask the taste & bring the same taste food. Jambu was so good even he knows what I ordered last time & he brought same order I liked in past. Food is excellent, Everyone liked all the food .

“I pass this place often in my travels so I finally decided to give it a try. Initially when I walked in and saw the prices of everything I almost walked out because everything seemed overpriced. But I figured since I was already there I may as well give it a try. And thank God I did The food and service were amazing and made my trip and the money worth it.“

“I held a celebration of life in the private dining room. In addition to the food being plentiful and delicious the wait staff were all excellent. I would recommend the Cloverleaf for any special occasion function as well as regular dining. They provided the best venue possible“

“This past weekend, I had the honor of celebrating my milestone birthday with 25 of my closest friends & family, at Anthony's Cheesecake & Restaurant. Needless to say, everything was perfect! The restaurant was decorated beautifully, the menu selection accommodated all of my guests (substitutions were made if requested with no issues) and dessert was to die for! Anthony made sure that he had my favorite cake on hand to celebrate my big day (Chocolate Peanut Butter cake). He even surprised me with a beautiful birthday toast.🥂 I have been a regular customer at Anthony's for quite some time now, so it was a no brainer that I chose to celebrate there. All of my guests loved the vibe and great ambiance, the food and especially all the dessert options. If you haven't already visited, you definitely should. It will be worth it - trust me!!! ❤

Parking: Parking garage is located directly across from Anthony's Cheesecake & Restaurant. Very convenient and inexpensive.“

“We have been coming here consistently and the quality of food, service and atmosphere has been maintained.

It doesn’t matter what you order, the food tastes amazing.

The Servers deserve every cent of the tip as they are nice and make sure you feel well taken care of.

The place it self is minimal and very clean just how I prefer it.“

“Slaps EVERYTIME!! 🔥🥰💦 #BadAndJuicy“

“We had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Due 360 in Summit. From the moment we walked in, Luis the manager and Brianna welcomed us and seated us promptly. Luis was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our order. Our server Sofia was extraordinary! she was warm and friendly with genuine smile. She offered excellent recommendations and we had conversation as if we're know each other for years. We started with a complimentary bruschetta, it was tasty and nicely flavored. I ordered the Tapas- Polpo Ala Plancha, Steak Yuca Frities and Crabmeat/shrimp tacos. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The portion was perfect and the presentation was impeccable. Due 360 was quite a gem of an Argentine-Italian restaurant (interesting combo but it worked!). This place is going to be my "go to" dining spot. I highly recommend it and the experience is worth it.“

“An OUTSTANDING dinning restaurant with GREAT food and service!😉👍🏾👊🏾😍🥰😻“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“Great place! Love everything I’ve ever ordered from Yellow Rose!“

“This place was that perfect sweet treat. Rolled ice cream and the pleasure of finding out they got 21+ ice cream was a blessing. I thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream and the little games the owner has on the side for you to enjoy yourselves if you bring company is even better.“

“Great music, service and food! Hip spot. Def recommend.“

“Best Eggs Benedict in town!“

“Very fun social vibe, special Birthday ritual, food was excellent, I practically licked my plate, service was attentive and the manager very active.“

“excellent, outstanding food and very nice atmosphere.“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“Great location great business grade coffee downtown , Cranford the best“
