First time visiting. I'm new in this WFPB journey. From the many workshops with Plant Power New York (PPNY) their motto is no Salt, Oil, Sugar, Alcohol. (SOSA). I was surprised to find alot of oil in the dishes.

Toma-Tis has a small waiting area with about 4 chairs and one table. By the time I got my food it was only us in there and I asked if we were able to eat at the table and they said “of course”!! highlight was oyster mushroom fried chicken and Mac and cheese. Got the carrot cake and vanilla cake too. I’ve never had oxtails in my life, so I had nothing to compare it to, but the vegetable and kale patties were good.

Can't really ask for better vegan options. Definitely worth visiting even if you aren't one, which I'm not. I got the fried oyster mushroom jerk "chicken" and curry chickpeas and it was outstanding.

Vegetarian options: I believe it's actually all vegan, but the entire menu is safe for vegetarians for sure.

My husband and I are from Pittsburgh, PA and were in the area for a concert last night. I always like to look ahead on Yelp and Google for local vegan joints to try when we're somewhere new and this one stuck out to me. I was just as excited to come here as I was for the concert!

First of all, the service was SO PERSONAL. Everyone there was so friendly, chatting with us about veganism, etc. The owner especially was so sweet and made us feel like we were really being taken care of.

We didn't want to go crazy with ordering since we were going to be going to a concert right after and tried to order light by sharing the jerk chicken sandwich, a pumpkin patty and a jackfruit/chickpea patty, cassava fries, and a slice of pie which I think they said was some type of potato "pudding"?

Everything was so delicious, substantial, and satisfying! The cassava fries were light and not greasy at all but still had so much unique flavor, I was swooning over them!

The jerk chicken was out of this world and I regret not getting a whole one for myself! The seasoning, the crisp of the "chicken," even the bread it was on was perfect.

Both patties were warm and savory, a perfect handheld snack. AND THAT PIE! Unlike anything I have ever eaten - it was just the right amount of sweet, loaded with spices and flavor, dense and chewy. One of those things that you eat and then can't stop thinking about. We had half of it saved and I'm not going to lie - I thought about it a few times during the concert and then immediately dug into it in the car afterward!

I don't want to come back here, I NEED to come back. The menu is so extensive and I want to try some of the entrees - hoe many places do you know that serve vegan oxtail?? I need to try it.

I am so happy that we found Toma-Tis and I will be recommending it all of my friends, vegan or not! (FWIW, my husband is not vegan and he devoured everything happily!)

If you live nearby, I am so jealous. I would be a regular if I did!

I don’t live in Long Island and called to inquired about the menu and delivery. The woman that picked up the phone was extremely friendly. I ended up ordering food via Uber Eats, took public transportation to go pick up the food 45 mins away, since the restaurant does not deliver to my borough. So I had to go to another borough to pick it up. I am so happy that I did. The food was AMAZING!!!. The vegan fried chicken tasted so much better than the regular chicken. The oyster mushrooms and the batter was perfectly fried, seasoned, and flavorful. The jerk patty and Mac and cheese was divine!

This is one of the best plant based restaurants that I have visited. This is one of a few restaurants that offer made to order meals, and they taste delicious. All of their menu items have the right balance of spices and flavors. I have visited many vegan restaurants in the Northeast, including Vegandale and this gem takes best in class. Our favorite meals include the Ackee and Salt'n, Jackfruit salad, and fried mushrooms.

One of the best vegan restaurants on Long Island! Flavors that leave you wishing you ordered more! The mushroom fried chicken tastes better than any fried chicken I’ve ever eaten (before becoming plant based)! I’m not kidding. Perfectly crispy. Texture is on point. Seasoning is real right. Finger looking good! The okra was the truth. The oxtail was like no other. The sweet plantains were perfectly ripe and perfectly fried. Everything on this menu undeniably slaps. The food is made to order, so patience is a virtue! Worth the wait every time!

The food is absolutely delicious! All of vegan dishes we tried were seasoned well and extremely flavorful, without relying on mock meats. I really loved the pumpkin stew! The Chef took her time to create these meals, and I enjoyed every bite and the overall experience. She also had a one on one chat about what the best options might be for me. Definitely worth a visit!

The food is absolutely delicious. It comes made to order so in order to avoid a long wait time, pre-order your meal. I highly recommend the Vegan Rasta Pasta with Tofu. The staff is friendly and I always receive a great and friendly reception there.
