50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Jersey City

“Amazing experience! One of the best vegan entrees I’ve had in a long time“

“Stellar service! Will definitely be back.“

“Seriously the best sushi I’ve had both in New York and New Jersey. Nothing compares! Service is also great, friendly, quick and efficient. Also close to Exchange Place which is such a plus. I seriously can’t get enough of this place.“

“The food is very flavorful and delicious. There are a nice variety of meals and the delivery service is excellent.“

“I love how authentic this restaurant is compared to other Bangladeshi restaurants I have been to.“

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“

“I'm not usually one to dish out five star reviews like candy, but I'm beyond thoroughly impressed. It was genuinely the best food I've ever tasted. I didn't know that was a thing I would say. I sound... Extremely pretentious right now, but it's a luxurious and excellent place to eat that takes you surprisingly few dollars. (My dad got the Arroz con Pollo de la Charrera, and I got the «El Poquito de Todo», we both got deserts, and we didn't crack 50 bucks.)

Our server Cristian was excellent, he was very attentive and not afraid to talk to us!

We're certainly not from the area. Me and my father are going on a roadtrip from Tennessee (we drove up to NYC in 1.5 days!!) to Vermont, to use every single day of my Fall Break. So, considering that, it's unfair for me to recommend it over other places here. I'll get around that by recommending it over every place this side of the Mississippi!

Seriously. You aren't gonna regret eating here. The mains are amazing, extremely flavorful and well-seasoned without being overly strong. The plantains, especially, are literally good enough to make you cry. The pastel de tres leches is also nothing short of phenomenal. I'm not a drinker, but they had a very extensive collection of high-branded wines and a lovely looking bar.

Any dish you try here will change your life. Go on! Try it!“

“We ordered so many incredible signature dishes. The lamb moussaka was 5 stars! To really test them we ordered one of the best lahmanchoun’s we’ve tasted in NY! Cozy atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, Momo JC definitely exceeded our expectations!“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“Good atmosphere and great service.“

“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.“

“Update on Review!!

UPDATE: It’s been about five years since my original review, and Mordi’s has definitely earned our business back. The food is still fantastic, and ordering through the app has made the busy lunch rush much easier. It’s once again a go-to for our office lunches. 🥪🔥

The Chicken Parm, Buffalo Chicken, and Crazy Cuban are some of our favorites. There can still be a wait because this place gets BUSY, but our recent experiences have been much better. Glad to have Mordi’s back in the lunch rotation!

Old Review

I was torn over writing this review. I have eaten a Mordi’s a number of times since it is extremely close to my office. They are a busy place the food is always good. However they need to take a moment and work on their customer service. We recently placed a big order for our Friday lunch, when we returned to the office we realized one sandwich was missing. We immediately called the shop as we got into the car. As soon as they picked they placed us on hold for five minutes without even given us a chance to tell them why we were calling. When they returned to the phone they said they are not taking any phone orders because they were busy and hung up the phone on us again without even hearing their customer our.

When my partner entered the shop and asked who hung up on us the woman behind the counter half heartily apologized. I’m sorry with so many great lunch options in this area Mordi’s will have to treat their customers with more dignity and respect before my office gives them any of our business.“

“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet“

“This place has long lines on sunny weekends, so I decided to try it on a weekday night. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of flavors. I tried the coconut and the pineapple. Both were good.“

“Healthy Delicious food at reasonable prices. Seasoning and style of vegan foods I only find here. Unique to other spots. Friendly workers, fresh food and short waiting time for the order. Woman owned 💖“

“Hybrid Coffee and Kitchen completely exceeded my expectations, delivering fantastic food, standout drinks, and truly awesome service from start to finish. The staff was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience effortless, while the menu hit every mark—the coffee was expertly crafted and the food came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Between the inviting atmosphere and the consistently high quality across the board, it has easily earned a spot on my regular rotation, and I can’t wait to come back.“

“Very friendly, neat and clean place. Beyond words delicious food. The atmosphere noisy could not found sound absorber wall covers.“

“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨“

“Food is clean, healthy and delicious! You can taste the love that goes into every dish. It is a pleasure to support this local business.“

“First time trying , we ordered five sandwiches and all were delicious. Highly recommended, lots of food for the money.“

“How do I love Crema, let me count the ways … Nutella Toast, Avo Toast, Mozz Toast, Beef Empanadas, Waffles and amazing brews ☕️“

“Simply the best, most authentic Cuban food in this area. I was raised in Miami and my mom would make all of our meals from scratch. This is the closest thing to that experience.
Mercedes ( also my mom’s name) is a gem!
But, the food is what brought me here! I work in a midtown law firm and the “ gringos” raved over the food and flavors!!!“

“This is one of the best places to have south Indian food and the restaurant is very authentic. The ambiance is very decent but the food is so good. Especially their mann soru was out of the world“

“Great way to celebrate the holidays with friends and family.“

“Vibes and more vibes def recommended“

“I liked the Ube gelato. It was pretty good.“

“Great selection of smoothies and sweet bowls! And the employee on shift this morning was an absolute delight! So kind and welcoming and accommodating. I would like to see more savory options that don’t involve fake meat or bread, but if you’re looking for a smoothie and/or a sweet bowl, can’t go wrong here. Also they do have a single occupancy bathroom for customer use!“

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10“

“Have enjoyed two fantastic meals at Ita. A perfect atmosphere for any intimate or casual gathering. The food is so fresh and the people are warm and welcoming. I will be back!!“

“Never been before today but so happy we stopped by! Kids were thrilled with the flavor choices and I really liked there was a vegan option! We’ll definitely be stopping in again. 😃“

“Excellent food and great customer service. Overall an amazing experience“

“This is my favorite chicken caesar wrap place ever. I don’t even live conveniently to GTK JC or Hoboken, but you can bet once a week, I’m driving to either location and getting a reg or buff cc wrap.
10/10 portion
10/10 dressing
10/10 crouton texture
10/10 wrapping skills
10/10 during every single bite“

“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!“

“Amazing atmosphere, food, and coffee! Friendliest staff that took the time to visit with my family. Will definitely be back!“

“We discovered Mathew's just yesterday and enjoyed a great lunch with their extremely pleasant staff. We'll be back.“

“Thanks for the excellent and professional service the food was amazing a new stop in jersey city whenever I go try it if you haven’t won’t be disappointed again thanks“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

“My first trip to Jersey lead me to Tinos and I am so lucky to have found them! Their cute outdoor dining area was shaded. Menu has tons of options - I had the Margherita pizza, Pinot and a cannoli! All are delicious and I can't wait to return. The pizza is the best I've ever had - crispy but still foldable thin crust, flavorful sauce, and top quality mozzarella and EVOO. My waiter was kind and attentive, who informed me that Tino still comes in and does things like weeding the plants. He also said that they are terrific employers. Not many places today hit all the check marks, but Tino's hits it out of the ballpark.“

“The best smoothies in the area! 🥤

I’ve tried both the Wake Up Call and the Nutty Monkey, and they’re easily two of my favorites from the Espresso Shakes menu.

Both are blended perfectly, taste fresh, and give you a great energy boost. I also love that you can customize your smoothie with different options like your choice of yogurt, milk, and other add-ins to make it exactly how you like it.

If you’re looking for a fresh, customizable smoothie that actually tastes great, this spot is definitely worth checking out.“

“Great venue to see and hear local bands!“

“We ordered 4 Catering trays for our hospital holiday potluck and the food was delicious! Mr. Wissam is such a nice person and very professional! Will definitely always order from him for all of our holiday potlucks! Thank you for the special delivery and special additional items. All of our staffed loved it and will come back with their families for more!“

“My girlfriends purse got robbed. Dangerous place. Don't go there. Band was awesome though“

“Freshest and healthiest food you can get without making the trip to the farm. Options for all taste buds. The staff is also helpful and friendly. You should eat and shop here. 🐝“
