    Friendly service, and exactly what the UES has needed for a long time. A 100% vegan restaurant. Ordered the steak and cheese, crispy chicken wrap, and soy wings. Everything was awesome. Will definitely be back.

    The absolute best meals I have had in years. The corn ribs, mozzarella cheese sticks, and crunch wrap are amazingly delicious! We went back a second time while visiting NY because it was so fantastic!

    The breakfast platter was a great deal and loved the customizable options. Tried the gluten free pancakes which were some of the best I’ve ever had, so chewy and delicious. Kind staff too. Definitely check this place out!

    Excellent flavor and delicious food! (My crunch wrap was a tad salty, and it’s definitely more expensive than most similar places: that’s why the 4 stars.) Corn ribs are indeed the showstopper! Lovely staff!

    Omg, we live near to this place and this is our absolutely favorite vegan spot in the whole NYC. The food is always perfect, we have tried almost everything from the menu and you guys never disappointed us. Whole stuff are very kind and helpful. Thank you for that!

    Vegan Grill never disappoints! Today, I got to try the corn "ribs" (if you've enjoyed elote, you'll love this), the crunch wrap supreme, the mozzarella sticks, and chicken gyro over rice - all delicious 😋

    Went with a friend, enough variety that anyone could find something they would eat. The nachos and corn ribs were really good. Could have gone without the toastios. My friend got the bowl and really enjoyed it.

    This place is so small and cute! Wonderful staff, shoutout to Tima! She was great and made the recommendation to get the Crunch Wrap and I was very satisfied! The mac and cheese needs more cheese but ya know how vegan cheese is 👀 But overall I had a great night there and I will be going back!

    I have ordered from here a lot and it never disappoints. They have a lot of variety for vegan foods and its great when I am craving something a little less healthy like a burger or tacos, or a chicken wrap, it always hits the spot. The pasta dishes are really yummy too! Dining in is surprisingly nice as well, they bring the food to the table and its nice and fresh. We got the Nacho Burger and the Tacos this time with impossible meat, so delish!

    I came here for lunch one day the cashier was very nice and helped me pick out what I wanted. There's also a lot of seating available to sit at. The food itself was very delicious I would definitely recommend it and will come back.

    I’m so used to being nickel and dimed by restaurants that when I got $3 in change at the register, I ask for the 60 cents in change I *thought* I was owed, but in reality my meal was $17.42 and he actually only charged me $17 🫠 I felt very silly after that. He also gave me a cup of tap water which is honestly getting rarer nowadays. Halal guys among other places charge you for it, so now I expect to be charged for water everywhere. The man at the register was very kind and my vegan beef gyro was delicious. The vegan beef tasted a little smoky, the flavor was on point! Not only came with tzatziki but hot sauce and tahini too. I really enjoyed my meal, and I think this place is priced fairly for being a vegan spot in the city. Will definitely be coming back!

    Staff was very friendly and helpful when deciding what I wanted. Everything is completely vegan so I had a wide selection to choose from. The seating area was nice and clean. My Mac and cheese came out in a cute dish served with vegan Parmesan cheese! I 100 percent recommend this to anyone who wants a good meal. Vegan or not!

    Excellent new vegan spot in UES!!! Got the Nacho plate and tater tots with smart soda (all good flavors). Turned out to be one of best nachos I had including from authentic Mexican restaurants. Both dishes tasted extremely fresh, great portions and delicious!! Very attentive service and cute details like organic condiments. Will definitely return. What a pleasant surprise!!

    By far one of my new favorite NYC restaurants. The corn ribs is one of the best and most unique dishes I’ve ever had. Don’t sleep on this hidden gem!

    Extremely good vegan spot in the city center! Staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a quesadilla, crunchy tortilla wrap and corn ribs. They have a variety of literally everything to choose from (different meat substitutes, wrap types etc). The meals are tasty, filling, hearty and definitely show their passion for plant based cuisine.

    Got the corn ribs and the crunchwrap supreme. The corn ribs were insane - that crema and vegan cotija were so good and I am still dreaming about it. The crunchwrap supreme was also super yummy and well made! My only gripe is it’s a bit on the pricier side though I do appreciate it being a fully vegan place in the UES

    Really nice place with really, really good vegan food! I had the pasta alfredo which was delicious. Even better than the food is the service and staff of the restaurant. We (me and my mother) had a very interesting and enlightening talk with George who gave us an insight in what it means to live in New York as a local. It was a very interesting perspective since we are only tourists here. Also got a free smoothie because someone didn’t pick up their takeout! Make sure you visit this spot if you’re in NYC. Greetings from Marc if you’re seeing this George!

    The veggie omelet was out of this world delicious. Five stars are not enough. It needs a million stars. The atmosphere and the worker Omar are also fabulous. Run, don't walk to get this heavenly vegan food. On past visits, I loved all their burgers and the amazing cookies.

    I got the vegan crunch wrap with Jackfruit and it was possibly the best and most filling meal I have had in a long time! Must try if vegan!!!! I will come back for it again for sure! That was absolutely divine! I never write comments so this means it was 🔥

  • 5/5 Bryan L. 1 year ago on Google
    A place that proves you can make delicious food that is delicious because it is cooked brilliantly regardless of being vegan or not. The tofu scramble is excellent and the textures are spot on. The broccoli was cooked to a perfect consistency, and I had to highlight that. The corn ribs are such a fun take on their meaty counterpart and don’t try to imitate, but elevate the corn. Try it!

  • 4/5 Krysten V. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is delicious! Tried the corn ribs, shawarma wrap and Alfredo pasta. Everything tasted delicious and appears to be great quality. The reason for 4 stars are the prices compared to the amount of food you’re given could be improved. Alfredo pasta is $24 and came with 3 pieces of soy chicken and maybe 1 cup of pasta. Even in UES NY should prob be like $15-$16. Same with the shawarma— tasted fantastic but pretty darn small for $17.

  • 5/5 Paul S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had their crunch wrap supreme yesterday after missing Taco Bell’s, and it was phenomenal! I’m excited to try more and more things from the menu. When I went vegan, I made a promise to myself that my taste buds would never suffer, and honestly this place did them justice.

  • 5/5 Gaby R. 1 year ago on Google
    Yummy food!

  • 5/5 Chad C. 1 year ago on Google
    Stoked that they opened this location closer to my apartment. The food here, and at the location downtown, is great!

  • 5/5 Deanna W. 1 year ago on Google

I’m very excited for this BRAND NEW PLACE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH DELICIOUS HEALTHY FOOD!! I would 100% recommend trying out this cute little place for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert!! I got the Beyond Burger it was sooo flavorful & fresh it was AMAZING!!!!

    We came to Vegan Grill on opening day and we were really happy with the food, atmosphere, and service. Everything was fresh, the place was clean and we loved our meals.

  • 5/5 Ikram R. 1 year ago on Google
    The custom bowl is incredibly delicious and packed with so much! The quinoa, brown rice, roasted vegetables, and hummus were phenomenal, and their portions are plentiful. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a healthy meal!
