Stopped here for lunch and it was amazing! Pay by weight, I got a small with a little bit of jerk, drumstick, Mac and cheese, pumpkin, plantain, rice & peas and it came out to $13. Very filling and incredibly delicious. The guy working there was also super friendly and helpful. Read less

This is vegan heaven. Friendly staff too.

Definitely one of the better spots for vegan food in the city. Tried the Mac, jerk chicken, vegan stew chicken, rice & peas. Everything is great. Wish they had labels.

I had high hopes. My first visit, the food was ok. I had the mac and cheese, collard green's, buffalo "chicken", rice and beans and curried potato. The collards were really good. Ate that with the mac and cheese since it needed help. The rice and bean's and curried potato were also good, but the texture of the "chicken" I am not used to and the buffalo sauce wasn't quite ...buffalo, but ok nonetheless had the pineapple tart (delicious) and something that resembled an oatmeal cookie. Again, it was ok. It warranted another visit. SMH I don't know if there was a different cook today; I did see different people, in any case, food should be consistent in flavor when you run a restaurant in NYC. The first clue that should have passed was the curried chickpeas didn't look cooked all the way and they were swimming in something, I don't know what. I was told it was curry. After tasting my meal, I would say it's debatable. I opted for the "seasoned" chickpeas. They were too firm to enjoy. The fork shouldn't have any resistance when skewering a chickpea. I had to apply firm pressure to get it to pierce. The curried potatoes had a hint of curry and the salt was missing. It just tasted like soft bland potatoes colored with curry. The collard green's tasted as though they forgot the vinegar and could use a bit more salt; barely any flavor. The worst was the mac and cheese. There wasn't even an attempt to make it taste like cheese. It was more a macaroni salad. Totally different flavors. I got the barbecue "chicken" this time, but didn't bother trying it. I am too pissed after spending $35 on this meal alone. To add injury, I purchased the pineapple tart, additionally,only find mold on the bottom and of course I am too far away that I can't turn around and bring it to their attention in person Nearly $40! The only thing that tasted ok was the pastry that spinach and mustard in it, which by the way, the people fulfilling your orders do not know what they are serving. On both occasions I asked about wheat being on the food and what some of the pastries were called and they had to ask someone in the back. FYI, when I say the salt was missing, I am not one that eats alot of salt. Most foods in restaurants taste salty to me. I have to spice this meal up, as they say, and cook it some more to something that doesn't make me mad. Though isn't the point of take-out so you don't have to... I won't risk spending nearly $40 on ok food that may or may taste good depending on the day of the week. Read less
