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.“

“EDITED REVIEW:They aren't closed! The phone may have been janky, but the empanadas are still delicious! I was able to just drive up this week and saw they are indeed still open, so I am revising my review to account for their tasty eats. I finally got my birria empanadas, and I'm pleased. :)Initial Review:I placed an order online 2 weeks ago, but when I went to pick it up the place was completely closed. I called and called some more but no one ever picked up the phone. Now the phone is disconnected. I think it's safe to say I'm not getting those empanadas. :(The order online option is still totally active too which feels a bit scammy to me.“

“I had an amazing experience with KB Smokehouse! The service is always great, and the food is absolutely delicious. Ariel, the receptionist, is the sweetest—so kind, professional, and understanding. I had ordered a catfish platter via Uber Eats, and unfortunately, the fish wasn’t fully cooked through. It was late, and since the restaurant was close to closing and I was still at work, I couldn’t go back in person.

I called the restaurant, and Ariel picked up. After I explained the situation, she handled everything with such care and made sure the issue was resolved quickly. Her customer service alone deserves a 10/10.

As for the food—it’s amazing! Their catfish platter is one of my favorites, and their prices are very reasonable. Overall, KB Smokehouse has definitely gained a loyal new customer. I absolutely love this place!“

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

“I had the Mushroom Oyster Burger 🍔 and I’m not Vegan but wanted to try something new………. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! Actually I usually never finish my food but I ate every bit of that sandwich…… if you haven’t checked them out you definitely should you won’t be disappointed 😁“

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

“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“

“This review is for the Linden location. So happy to have them in town. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and the food is delicious!!“

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

“This is an amazing experience for families and kids! We had the most fun! The food was good, the service was amazing, the show was so much fun! After the show the Knights came out and took pictures. My son had all the knights sign his sword. My son had the best time... honestly we all did!“

“Beautiful space and good service“

“Omg! I was visiting family in NJ and got a recommendation to try their vegan menu—so glad I did. The # of options and their flavors are amazing. I’ve tried many vegan spots over the past 8 years, and this is easily one of the best.
I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, chikn Caesar wrap, empanada, mango cake, tres leches, agua de Jamaica, and horchata—everything was outstanding. Buffalo chicken wrap is my absolute favorite! The flavors and the portion sizes are generous for the price. They also have plenty of non-vegan options and desserts. Very helpful when going out with the fam.
I ended up going back twice in the same weekend! I honestly wish I lived closer. This will definitely be my go-to spot every time I’m in town. Great service, too.“

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

“The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy, with a cozy and intimate setting that was perfect for a romantic evening or a special occasion. I was thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail, from the stunning décor to the carefully curated music selection.“

“Everything is so delicious“

“Should be best best restaurants list in NJ!“

“I absolutely love everything I’ve tried at this vegan spot, and I’m not even a vegan. The Jack bowl is delicious & full of flavor, the Lavender latte is perfection and way better than that nasty stuff they sell at Starbucks. The service is always great! Highly recommended!“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“This place is excellent. I bought my friend from Japan with his family and was happy to take them to Cornbread for some authentic soul food. Needless to say my friend and his family loved the experience. They were finishing a road trip throughout the US and they thought the food at Cornbread was some of the best they had in their month long journery. The turkey wings were particularly good and I'm saying this as a person who is mostly vegetarian. Service was also excellent with attentive help and the servers were conversational and friendly with my friends and I. Bathrooms were also very clean. I wholeheartedly recommend Cornbread Montclair as a solid business and a great place for delicious Soul Food.“

“Healthy food, healthy environment Taste great!“

“Wonderful food. Nice attentive service!“

“We have been coming here for years! Love the service, the food and the ambiance ♥️“

“I’m so happy I discovered Roosterspin recently and have been back many times. 100% recommend! Love the unique menu! My only ask is to start serving cocktails (they only have wine options).“

“Great Service! Excellent Food and Delicious Pastries“

“Had a wonderful lunch with my daughter and entire family today after my daughter’s graduation MSU Go Redhawks! Highly recommended for the amazing food and beautiful atmosphere!“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️‍🩹“

“Awesome place. Highly recommend!“

“easily the best pizza in Rahway. Elizabeth Michelino is great too“

“The best restaurant in summit, nj“

“A real gem of a cafe, nothing else like it around. From the kind and thoughtful owner to beautiful, whimsical ambiance and of course the most delicious Indian style light lunch fare and desserts! Prices are more than fair. We can't wait to return!!“

“We were in the area to see Cherry Blossom Festival in the local park. We originally planned to eat at our favorite restaurant Istanbul in Clifton NJ. We got hungry and looked for close by Turkish restaurants, found this place. Absolutely loved the ambiance, food and the service. We are hooked for life. Try the Calamari for appetizer, lamb shish kababs for main entry. Food was authentic and cooked to perfection. We will be back.“

“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 simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“i always get their açaí bowls since playa bowl is far from me. their bowls are really good😍 i tried the mango and coconut bowl with nutella, so delicious. i’ll try to get more foods from them since it’s vegan/vegetarian! i definitely recommend this place, the owner/staff were friendly and welcoming. always support small family businesses :)“

“Fresh and heathy food. Love 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“

“We went for the first time last Sunday. All I can say is wow. From the wait staff to the kitchen staff to management, everyone was incredibly friendly, unbelievably accommodating when it came to food allergies (they came out to talk about everything in specific detail to make sure it was safe before it was cooked and served), and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would absolutely recommend trying Marakesh out if you haven't been. They will be more than happy to go over the menu and explain anything you might not recognize or need changed because of restrictions. You can also call ahead so it can be prepped ahead of time for you. I will definitely be back again!!“

“Love the food, love the place, very attentive, don't walk run here, great!“

“Delicious food. Great service by Sydney! It started with amazing honey bread at the table. Flatbreads yum, especially the one with fig topping. Muscles, tuna tartare, noodle flush, brussel sprouts, calamari salad, and more! All yum! Would absolutely go there again. We had 8-10 people and the service was excellent.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the mixed grill platter, and it was more than enough for two people. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been here several times and keep coming back because the food and service are consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

“Slaps EVERYTIME!! 🔥🥰💦 #BadAndJuicy“

“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“

“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.“

“Great ambiance, excellent prices, friendly staff, and delicious food.“

“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 😋“
