    This vegan spot rocks! The Lekka Burger is delicious! It was just like a beef cheeseburger. You can’t go wrong with the Messy fries. They taste like chili cheese fries, but a healthier version. The Perfect Manhattan rounded out the meal. I highly recommend Lekka Burger. Ben took great care of me on the patio. I will definitely visit again!

    As a vegan family, this place was fantastic. We arrived in NYC for 5 days in mid July 2022 and this was our first stop. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. The food was over the top delicious. My son said he wasn't hungry but then gobbled up a salad and fries. The burgers here were my favourite in NYC and highly recommend them to anyone visiting. 5/5. Follow me for more reviews, photos and great tips.

    Cute vegan burger joint. Non of us are vegan but decided to check this place out. Long story short, I think it’s a bit over priced. My tiny tiny salad was almost $8 on top of my $14 cheese burger. From non-vegan perspective, not sure if it was worth it. The flavors of burger and salad is definitely good. They also got nice selection of beer. Place was very clean and quiet and was nice for quiet dinner with friends.

    A bit pricey, but really good overall. I’m not vegan but I really enjoyed the chocolate milkshake and loaded fries. The service is awesome and the vibes in here are awesome. Lots of seating, too! The masala burger was OK, a bit too spicy and it fell apart quickly. The nachos were a bit underwhelming in terms of topping and got soggy fast. Overall, a great spot in the area!

    Really nice decor, friendly service and a good amount of indoor seating. I'm vegetarian and love a bit of real cheese and mayo on a burger, but honestly I didn't miss them at all here. Don't expect beyond / impossible meat, the burgers are more like a bean mix and are delicious. Giving 4 stars only because the buns were a bit dry on the second visit, not unpleasantly dry, but enough to break and crumble. We visited twice trying four different burgers, all were really good and the messy fries were awesome. If I lived in New York this place would be one of my go to burger spots.

    Ahh what a find! I can’t believe I didn’t come across this place earlier. Very cute space, felt clean and safe and airy for indoor dining + outdoor sidewalk tables. The food is great and portions generous and the staff are very nice and helpful. All vegan! Delicious!

    Very good, a little pricey, but generally worth it. Service was fairly quick. I've had the Guacamole Burger and the Broccolini Caesar Salad, which was great. But, only upon asking did I learn they use two different burger patties, one with black beans, and one with (I think) white beans and other stuff. For some reason, this isn't mentioned on the in-store menu at all. Two burgers (the guac and another one) come standard with the black bean-based patty, but the rest come with the other one. It would just be nice to know more about what I'm eating, especially for folks who may have a preference between the two. Great decor inside, too. Overall solid place.

    Great spot for a delicious plant based meal! You must try the halva shake which tastes like cookie dough. The peri peri burger and masala burger are both delicious. They also have a burger of the month as well. The atmosphere is great and I love the decor. It's vibrant and playful plus there is a pac man machine. The staff is helpful in recommending items and answering any questions.

    This is a great vegan alternative to any shake shack lover out there. They have the traditional burger and fries combo that are freshly made piping hot. the shakes are there too with lots of variations of it. The decor is super festive and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about their dishes. They also offer happy hour drinks which is really nice addition. As well as a few drink options grab and go from the cooler.

    I was excited to try this place, but was kind of let down. Vibes were super weird, staff didn’t seem to want to be there and didn’t exude a welcoming energy. The restaurant and bathroom were clean. As far as the food, the guacamole burger I had was good, but nothing special. The strawberry milkshake was yummy, but the vanilla one tasted like soil. Wish I didn’t spend $23 on that meal.

    Couldn’t wait to try this place and was excited about the Banh Mi burger - it was tasty due to the flavors of the Banh Mi toppings but the burger wasn’t my favorite. The taste wasn’t great at all and it was mushy. I also got the Cobb salad, which was really tasty. However, it’s in such a small bowl that it was hard to mix it and everything fell out the bowl and that was frustrating. It was yummy. Will go back and try a different burger and a shake. Outside seating available too.

    Casual/fun burger place where vegetarians and vegans get great service and never have to ask if it has meat in it. So flavorful even a meat eater can get with it. ☺️ We also noticed how clean the kitchen was, as it’s open/ behind glass and you can see your yummy food being made❤️with love. 🍔So Lekka. 😋

    Really gorgeous setting with hearty and delicious plant-based food. Our orders came out quickly in around 10 minutes. I got the big tahini stack, which was a double decker chickpea burger. I really loved the sauce, though it was definitely messy. The broccolini salad had great dressing that almost tasted like hints of bacon, maybe from the seaweed bits. It was loaded with asparagus, broccoli, and broccolini. The loaded fries were saucy, crunchy, and savory, but a bit salty. Would definitely come again to try more dishes.

    I went here yesterday 03/09/23. The food was *chefs kiss*. The staff was very nice as well. This was my first time here I’ll definitely be back for sure. If you love Queso definitely get the cheese fries and get a Brooklyn Best Peach Tea. I look forward to coming back here.

    Vegan burgers in a trendy Tribeca building. The interior design is jaw dropping and worth 5 stars on itself. The burgers are reasonably priced, as well as sides and draft beers. Staff was friendly, the vegan burgers are good, not excellent. Worth the visit nonetheless.

    food was quick and had plenty of seating options. The cheese fries were delicious, crinkle cut fries were crispy and the cheese was delicious and warm. One of the best cheese fries I've had in a long time. The California burger was good and enjoyed the toppings. However, I think next time I would get some cheese on top. All 'burgers' are vegetarian and taste good, but as a typical meat eater, I would recommend to prepare your mouth/mind for a veggie patty sandwich and not a burger. All food was fresh and tasty.

    Amazing, delicious comfort food. I’m usually not a fan of meat- replacement burgers, but the ingredients are all natural and super tasty. Oh, and the chili cheese fries are to. die. for.

  • 4/5 Praneeta L. 2 years ago on Google
    All vegan menu at a burger joint. I got the masala burger and it tasted great. A bit messy to eat. The milkshake though is not so great, especially for the price. Kudos to the place for being eco friendly and using reusable cutlery.

  • 4/5 Chintan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Good burger choices and love the quantity. Will visit again as I took take out this time

  • 5/5 Mateo S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nothing like the first bite! The burgers and shakes are truly unique. The atmosphere is super chill with art, colors and brews on draft at the bar. Will definitely return with the crew!

    Special shout-out to Abdul for giving A1 customer service. Mango ice cream was light, smooth, & full of taste. The burger was giving some smoked vibes but was very good. The ambiance tho! Definitely instagram & TikTok worthy..

    I was on a vegan burger kick so I decided to try this place while I was in the area. Ended up having a great experience here! I got the make your own burger with black bean patty and tahini soft serve. The patty was pretty good but did not try to taste like meat, just a veggie patty. The tahini soft serve was just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess, but the tahini flavor was not that strong. The guy at the checkout was incredibly nice and accommodating!! Very friendly to all customers. I did not order the side sauce because it is extra but he still gave me one. I ate here on a Tuesday lunch and people kept coming in and ordering, which is a good sign. The price is not that cheap, but for the service and atmosphere, I think it's worth it!

  • 3/5 Phoebe Y. 2 years ago on Google
    i was hyped to try the veggie burger, and have to say was not satisfied. the patty tasted straight like beans and the sauce was forgettable. i love veggie patties like chickpeas/mushrooms, but sadly the burgers here dont bring out the most delicious flavors in the ingredients. there are places make delicious veggie burgers in town, like superiority burger and even shake shack. sadly, this is not a place non vegeterian would be excited about. hope they improve over time. however, the interior is very cute and the onion rings were decent.

  • 5/5 Alexander K. 1 year ago on Google
    All vegan burger place with grat flavor combinations and delicious sides. The avocado burger has just the right amount of spice and complexity. The original Lekka burger has classic dressing and is executed well. The fries mushroom side was my favorite part with rich flavor, deep spices, and great breading. The fries are great at well and cooked perfectly.
