Went to VeganHood's soft opening yesterday for brunch and it was everything I hoped it would be. Best vegan fried chicken around. Beautiful outdoor dining and they did a great job on the whole design of the place. Will be back soon for dinner. Edit: went back last night for dinner and again, everything was delicious. More photos added.

I was surprised how good this place was. Two people I was traveling with said it was the best food ever, but they say that about everything. The “fried chicken” was very good. Very nice texture and taste. Mac and cheese was as good as some of the best I’ve ever had, and I’m from the South. Waiter was very friendly. Reasonably priced, although the location is certainly in the hood. Will potentially go back if I am traveling with a vegan again.

This small all vegan restaurant offers a variety of comfort soul food. The ambience is pleasant with flowers and a very friendly staff. It's a bit pricey for the size portions you get, but it's all plant based and fresh.

Staff was great- welcoming & helpful. The food was amazing!! Wish we were in town longer to come visit more times. The fries with rosemary were fantastic. Added bonus, arrived during happy hour and they have additional seating from the main dining area so just dropping by was no problem to be seated.

I've tried many Vegan restaurants throughout the country and a few internationally. So my critique is from a diverse vegan palate. I ordered the Flatbush (vegan oxtails) with Mac & cheese and collard greens. This dish was perfectly seasoned with a spin on the traditional southern comfort green and the gravy in the oxtail was sinfully good. I also tasted my friends steak and eggs with potatoes- this dish was also very tasty and texture was on point! The other dish I tried was the chicken and waffles. This dish was a classically done and will satisfy any body's craving for a classic chicken and waffle, paired well with the bottomless mimosas. I also noticed while dining there that the nachos were some of the patron's favorite! I gave Vegan Hood 5 stars because overall the servers were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. My server was Quay and she deserved a gold star. The scene is super cute-unique ambiance. Restaurant was clean to include the bathroom. The food portions were bigger than the price so no one leaves hungry and broke. Lastly, if you appreciate well seasoned food (vegan or not) you'll enjoy VeganHood!

We came here for Family day out! The drinks were so good I had the $25 bottomless drinks loved all of the flavors. The food was delicious and great! Our waitress went above and beyond. We had a wonderful time great music and vibes can't wait to return again!

The food was outstanding. No, seriously. I cook a lot of vegan dishes that people rave about, but this food right here! The fried vegan drumsticks are the best I've had, much better than mine. The flatbush oxtails were incredible, and the rice was delicious. Both tasted just like what Caribbean oxtails and rice & peas should. Shout out to Sunni, who helped make sure I got to the airport on time! Wonderful experience all around.

Excellent service, lovely outdoor dining setup, and delicious food. I especially enjoyed the beautifully charred crust on the Beyond patty as well as the Cajun spice blend for the corn on the cob. The potato salad was also quite good, with a perfect texture and a subtle sweetness.

Soo good!! We’ve ordered from them for delivery a few times but this was the first time at their new location. Love the ambiance and the waitress was super nice!! the food was amazing as always. Can’t wait for them to get a liquor license because they had some bomb lemonades that would make a great cocktail ;)

Incredible Vegan Food! Tasted like Sundays in the South, the only thing missing was a paper plate and some orange soda. Yo, the collard greens were incredible and succulent bursting with flavor, and that mac-n-cheese was like no other vegan option I've ever tried. Signing up for the rewards program because I will probably be here once a week. Definitely recommend this place and will take all my friends here!

It's amazing what can be done with pea protein. The Flatbush (vegan oxtail) with the macaroni and cheese, & collard greens made for a filling lunch. If one is looking for a nice vegetarian restaurant this is a good choice.

I ordered take out and it arrived fast and hot. I got the fried chicken, potato salad and collard greens. All were excellent. I’ve never had fried chick’n with such a crispy coating, the collards were tender and super flavorful, and the potato salad had great texture and a nice balance of sweet and mustard flavors. Highly recommend.

Really happy to see more vegan restaurants especially in this neighborhood. They’re helping to redefine what eating vegan looks like. The restaurant is small but has some enclosed outdoor seating which helps expand it. The atmosphere was cute. The staff was nice and service was great. Food came out with minimal wait time but it also wasn’t crowded when we went. Unfortunately I wasn’t blown away by any of the food. It was solid but nothing to rave about. We started with the empanadas as an appetizer. It was fried really well but no flavor, beet boring if it didn’t have the sauce on the side (which wasn’t my favorite flavor either). Their fried chkn was the better part of the meal, it’s textured soy using a wooden stick to mimic a drumstick, and was fried very well. I had the kale side which was really tasty but so little portion especially compared to my friend’s collard greens portion, which she said wasn’t that tasty but was filling. The mac n cheese was ok. Not the best I’ve had. And the pudding dessert was terrible. I tried the vanilla and it was lumpy, not smooth at all. The taste just wasn’t there. I’m slightly disappointed since there’s been such a hype but given the amount of great vegan restaurants in the city, I probably won’t be dining here again. That’s not to say it’s not great for others and good for the neighborhood. Just wasn’t the hit I needed it to be.

I am not vegan, but enjoy vegan food. This restaurant had good portion sizes, comfortable and pleasant seating and everything was well cooked and seasoned. The potato salad was so good I cant believe it was dairy free. Would recommend and would also visit again.

Got here and was seated right away. I ordered the chicken and gravy with collard greens and mac and cheese and it was really nice. It came out quickly, the chicken was nice and crispy but the gravy was a little bit salty for my liking, I still enjoyed it though. The greens were tender, the mac and cheese was cooked perfectly and the sauce was nice and creamy. Both were seasoned well, and it was a good sized portion. I would definitely come back here again. I also really liked the soursop lemonade. Service was really good too.

Totally enjoyed my visit to VeganHood. Greeted with smiles. Waiter very attentive to my allergies. This was my 1st vegan restaurant experience! Ordered smothered chicken with potato salad and collar greens. The potato salad was SLAMMING! Ordered seconds. The gravy on the smothered chicken was a little thick for me but it tasted just like real smothered chicken! Collard greens was on point! My sister had the oxtails with Mac & cheese/kale. She enjoyed her meal. The oxtails are spicy but very tasty!

I had a great meal at a fairly new eatery in Harlem. Veganhood hit the spot. I truly love that my meal had no meat products whatsoever. I love that a chef can play with my mind and tastebuds. I still eat actual meat but, I'm leaning vegetarian or possibly full vegan. I had the vegan beef oxtails, collards, peas and rice. Drinks were lemonade and a soursop lemonade. They also have a full bar. I recommend this place.

The waitress Shawn was awesome. Shealways check on u the bottomless drinks was on point. The place was certain much clean. And the food was delicious. The inside was super pretty, Very unique style.

The best vegan chicken I’ve ever had. The mac and cheese is amazing - again, probably the best veganized version I’ve had. I’m not a potato salad person but even that was delicious. The atmosphere is nice, with cute decor and a little patio for outdoor seating. Decent prices for decent portions. Absolutely wonderful and I can’t wait to come back someday!

Drinks were good. My rice dish was slightly salty. The fries were large portions.

Love the food, love the service, love the vibes. It is definitely very busy on Sundays or at least on the Sunday we went. They offered us a table on the sidewalk which was fine until we sat out there and only felt the blistering Harlem cold. Fortunately there was a table inside and our waitress was so kind and quickly prepped a place for us. The food was delish! None of us our vegans currently but we enjoy vegan food often. We loved that this was soul food and Caribbean food. Also! The soursop limeade was a winner! Highly recommended

We went here twice during our week in NYC - brunch once and then a late dinner. Both experiences were wonderful. The restaurant has a great vibe between the decorations, music, and staff. As a group of two adults and three kids we tried numerous things and they were all great. There were some good, less adventurous options for kids so everyone was content. My partner is from the South but hasn't been able to enjoy many of these foods since going vegan. He was so ecstatic to eat here and said that the collard greens are the best that he has ever had.

YUM! The food and drinks were phenomenal! The vibes and atmosphere of this place was adorable and I really enjoyed being there. The service was just a tad slow for the amount of people that were in there but it’s not to the extent that I wouldn’t recommend. Go with good company and you’ll have a great experience!

Just outstanding! Highly recommend. Wonderful variety of tasty vegan dishes. We loved the fried chicken and everything else we ordered. Staff are super friendly and helped us with a high chair for our daughter.

Great spot for brunch. I look forward to coming back on a warm day and enjoying the outdoor seating. Very friendly and welcoming. The vegan Mac and cheese side was particularly delicious!

The food is a bit pricey taking into consideration the portion size, however it is DELICIOUS. Probably the best vegan food I’ve had in NYC. You can tell it’s made with quality ingredients. We had the tunnel burger with a side of fries and the Saint Nick fried chicken with a side of mac & cheese and potato salad (wow!!!). I rather support a local business even if it’s a bit pricey than pay for bigger portions at a chain restaurant. Highly recommend.

The food here was so flavorful and good! Beautiful ambience and amazing playlist of songs for the perfect meal. So good!

amazing spot. mac and cheese, collard greens and potato salad were all great. meats are satisfying. go for the saucier (buffalo) options, they are more flavorful
