Review by SoldByMarvin.com ATL Realtor:We pulled up to the spot while we were in New York for Valentines weekend and this place had such a nice ambience. Strongly suggest making a reservation online if busy and our waiter, His name was Denzel and he was the coolest guy you could ever have as a waiter. He definitely did a great job making us feel comfortable and understanding the menu and he was extremely attentive in addition to the manager when we asked about a slight variation to one of the menu items. The restaurant is very clean and very intimate and a stones throw from the train. If you ever in New York and want some amazing Caribbean themed vegan food give this place to try the flavor was on point. read more

Amazing vegan food! I had the sancocho (serving size is for two people FYI) and it transported me. The plantain cups were super flavorful. Great cocktails too! Love the setting. read more

Coming from California and now DMV area, we don't have a lot of access to Caribbean food, esp vegan, so of course we had to try out NSV while in town. We ordered two empanadas (carne and the lentils and potato, we loved the lentil one and wish we could have tried the pizza one). We also shared La bandera plate which was huge and so tasty. So many great options that we didn't get to try which means this will have to wait until another visit! read more

I first came to Next Stop Vegan for empanadas before a show and they were absolutely delicious. We were in a rush that night, but I knew we had to come back for a proper date night, and when we did, they did not disappoint. The moment we walked in, the energy was warm and welcoming, and our waiter was amazing. His attention to detail and upbeat energy really made the experience special. We were treated to free sancocho and ordered the ropa vieja, which came with a mountain of rice and beans, and also La Bandera. Every bite was comforting, flavorful, and satisfying. I left completely full and happy, but already craving more. Next time, I am going straight for the oyster mushroom burger, which I saw at many tables--it is massive, piled high, and looks incredible. Whether you are in the area or making a special trip, this place is worth it. The food, the service, and the energy all come together perfectly. You will not be disappointed, I promise! read more

This used to be one of my favorite vegan restaurants. The photo with the mofongo is the churrasco I originally fell in love with. The other red meat pieces is what I received recently. The texture, appearance, and flavor were completely different, with a much stronger processed soy/protein taste. I noticed the same thing with the Philly cheesesteak on my previous order. Something must have changed in the kitchen. I ended up requesting a refund because it just wasn't the same product I had come to love. I truly hope they bring back the original recipes--they were incredible. read more

A bit pricey but overall a good experience. The service was excellent. The ambiance was dark and cozy. The food was a hit and miss. The miss being the plantain burger- although the flavor was there, it was extremely difficult and messy to eat because of the hard plantain. read more

This is the type of vegan place you go to when someone says "vegan food is boring" Every single dish we had was a 10/10, every bite was better that the last. The staff was super friendly and walked us through the entire menu and gave us good recommendation. The chipotle sauce is an absolute MUST! I don't know how they made it so flavorful but I've never had chipotle sauce (vegan or not) with as much flavor! This is one of the best vegan restaurants I've had in the city in a long time. Prices were responsible for the massive portions. Ambiance was great, gold decor and plenty of seating. I can't wait to go back and try more food! read more

Wow, I love this place. I used to go to their Washington Heights location! The growth is amazing to see especially in the vegan community! The ropa buena was so filling and so good! The Philly cheesesteak was so cheesy and flavorful. I also recommend the chimi & sancocho! I love the new decor and the service is amazing! Definitely check them out! I do miss the soursop juice I used to get here a few years back! read more

Wow really trying vegan food and this spot was a hit! I really enjoyed their Churrasco and their oyster salad was phenomenal. Definitely have to go with an open mindset for the food. It does get crowded so rsvp for a table and their juices/drinks are worth a try. Id aak for less sugar on my cocktails. Also great space with nice decor read more

Being vegetarian for over 10 years, it was such a treat to find a good vegan spot with such flavorful food suitable for me! I reminded my kid that the whole menu is animal free and was able to choose anything, she was so excited She got the 'chicken' fingers with fries. They were juicy and crispy. My non-vegetarian dad got the empanadas, he liked the plantain ones and loved the sauce. I got the ropa vieja and it was bomb! The texture wasn't like the meat version, but the flavor definitely was! The beans were very nicely seasoned and the plantains were excellent. The place itself was super cute decorated. The guys that worked there were all super sweet and helpful, answered any questions we had. As soon as we sat down, the manager came over and brought crayons and a coloring sheet for my little one. The attention to detail was definitely there. I will defensively be making the trip out for them again! read more

4.5 stars. We found this Latin food vegan place for my in-laws, that ended up being a hit with the non-vegans (my family of 4 lol). Quite a large selection to choose from! I ordered the chofan dominicana and it was delicious! The salad and avocado flower were refreshing. My husband ordered the churrasco mofongo. Slathering chimichurri sauce on the meat made it taste like a yummy steak! Husband tried it without the sauce at first and that was no bueno. The mofongo itself was a tad dry and could've benefited from some salt. My eldest ordered the birria tacos and she thought they were good. The consomé obviously didn't taste like the traditional beef consomé lol. More like a hot sauce. My in-laws got the cheesesteak and fries. It had a good but subtly sweet taste. Our servers were nice and accommodating, not overbearing. It was quite loud, but there was a large party of 10 celebrating a birthday and another table of 4. Seems like a good casual hang out spot but if there's 2 large parties (we had a table of 6), it may be hard to snag a table. read more

Amazing food and service. Came here for dinner one night and was so happy I did. The waiter was so kind and gave me recommendations one what to get and it did not disappoint. The empanadas were super fresh. The Ropa Vieja was soo good. I coulnt eat it all right then so I got a to-go box but best believe, I ate it before the night was so over. The rice was even good. Like really good ! Definitely would return and recommend. Love the decor too. read more

Next Stop Vegan is a Caribbean-Dominican Vegan Restaurant. It's not that big yet spacious & comfortable. The ambiance reminds me of being on a boardwalk by the water with lots of plants surrounding you. The staff is enthusiastic, friendly, attentive & accommodating. The manager happily brought over an embellished version of Sangria to try out. The drinks were good. I had a Ginger Lemonade. The plates were impeccable in their presentation. The plant-based Ropa Vieja, Beef & Salmon in the various entrees were so good & tasty, you might have trouble guessing if they were the real thing. The rice & beans were delicious & the portions were large, just like your grandmother would feed you at home! Now, the Alcapurrias appetizer (Grated green banana batter stuffed with meat, shaped & fried) were to die for! They were so delicious, I can still taste them. So, if you're in Brooklyn this is definitely a go-to for lunch or dinner, & take home some of those delicious Alcapurrias! read more

Loved the experience. My best friend and I came here for our adventure day in Brooklyn. She's vegan and I am open to trying when we are together and we've seen this place all over our social media. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't super busy. We got seated right away and our waiter was super helpful. We ordered the mofongitos and the birria tacos as well as the sangria. I loved the mofongitos, the flavors all blended in so well and it was tasty. I wasn't a huge fan of the birria tacos but my friend was and the sangria was yummy too but wish it was a bit stronger. The location was cozy, once it did fill up I did feel like we needed more space. We got to meet the owner who was so sweet! Thank you for a great experience! read more

Sweet spot in downtown Brooklyn -- the waiter was attentive and clearly enjoyed the food. We had the chofan dominicano, the churrasco mofongo, and the avocado salad. The food came out quickly and was very filling. We liked the creativity and how even though we were full, we didn't leave overstuffed. I will say that highlighting what's gluten-free of has other allergens will help patrons with selecting options that work for them. read more

I checked out this spot a couple weeks ago and I'm mad I didn't visit them sooner! The restaurant is super green and you almost feel transported to an island jungle. The staff is super friendly and helped make eating here a great experience. The prices are affordable and I would pay for this food again. I got the Cesar's Philly Cheesesteak and I couldn't even tell that it was vegan. The flavor was rich but not too heavy. My friend got the Jamaican Stew and she loved it. We were both determined to be back again. read more

The decor and ambiance is much better in person than the photos online would have you think. At night it's very pretty in there, but all the photos I'd seen online were in bright daylight and at unflattering angles. They should try and capture the nighttime vibe there a bit better in their photos. Service for us was lackluster--the dish I ordered was brought out right away but the person I was with was finally brought their food 25+ minutes later. When the waiter finally brought their food, the waiter said to me "Oh, you haven't touched your food". I said "Yeah--I was being polite and waiting for their food to come." He looked at me like he'd never heard of this concept before. Is it so strange that two people going out to dinner together would want to be able to eat at the same time, not one after the other? Isn't that waiting tables / staggering food 101? The empanadas are great, but the sauce they come with is only enough for about two of them, even if you get four. The sauce that come with the yuca fries is great, but the yuca fries themselves are a bit bland. I didn't like the mac and cheese, I've had way better vegan mac and cheese, but the person I was with liked it a lot, so your mileage may vary with that one. Overall, you're not really gonna find another place like this anywhere else, so you kinda have to take what you can get, if this is what you're in the mood for eating. It is what it is. I could see myself getting some empanadas To Go in the daytime or something. read more

Let me start by saying this was a place my sister put me up on so we been planning to come here but after today I will let all of my people know not to go to this place. Let me start by saying when I came in I asked for a spot out the way and I got it. So I sit down while on the phone with my sister and now it's over 10 min and no one other than the girl who sat me down with a menu and a empty glass came to tend to me. So im letting her know like wow no one has come to me yet. Now mind you 2 people who work there was sitting directly infront of me amd still nothing. Now ita been 20 minutes and they come take my order and still no glass of water no utensils nothing no napkins just sitting there directly infront where you order at. So some rude ladies come in and they have they asses all in my face so I asked them to please move, like really. So when the girl passes I tell her I want to cancel my order and then I got up and left This was unacceptable on all levels amd I will never patronize this establishment nor recommend it. I dont need any calling me asking what happened. Again I will inform.my helpers and people who always take my recommendations for places to eat and this place will not get mentioned. Unreal customer service was horrible just want to say thanks for the shitty experience!!!! read more

Been a fan of next stop vegan for a long time but have never been to the restaurant. It's an all vegan Dominican restaurant! Started with the empanadas and they were all delicious but the "Chicken n Cheese" was insaneeeeely good! Ordered the Mac n cheese for my daughter and she loved it, did not have that vegan cheese feel to it at all! We ordered the chimi and the platano power and they were both incredible! Not the mention the service was great and they even had a coloring book for my daughter to entertain herself. Can't wait to return and try all the signature plates! read more

Drove into NYC for a few errands and to enjoy some good food, and discovered Next Stop Vegan. The menu and dish pictures looked yummy so we said why not! I explored the Lunch Special which gave me a good base of black rice (not to be confused with Haitian black rice), fresh romaine lettuce/tomato slices/red onion rounds, and stewed (curried or adobo maybe) chick peas. Sweet plantains are ALWAYS a plus and the soy-based steak was well seasoned :). Service was kind and very generous with the water since it was a hot one! For the vibe of the place, check out the photos and video! Overall it's a great place to grab a quick lunch in between work @ the office or being a tourist in downtown Brooklyn. read more

went here a week ago as I've been craving and drooling over the IG posts i kept seeing. This place is amazing from the moment you walk in, you can feel the good energy and love that goes into each meal. the care and attention is A+++. i ordered the Quippeh/Kibbeh which is a torpedo shaped appetizer filled with vegan beef. flavors are stop on & absolutely delicious by itself or you can add a sauce on. next i got the Love Wings. i have no idea how they make this SO delicious but as a meat eater, this was perfect in every way. crispy, crunchy outside with a nice bite. i have to say the name says it all, you can literally taste the LOVE that goes into these the wait staff is very attentive and checks on you. refilling water without having to be asked. overall I rate this 10 out of 10. my absolute favorite vegan restaurant! read more

They completely changed the decor so it is a whole different vibe. But maybe lower the tunes with everyone talking over the music it can get really loud. They made the comidas calientes more prominent at counter for the budget conscious. Can't go wrong with any of that there.

OMG! Where do I start, Haven passed this restaurant on numerous occasions, I decided to go in yesterday afternoon. It was so crowded, I thought they were giving away "free food". After chatting with the owner, Blenlly Mena, I soon realized that this was not the case but just a regular weekend full of packed guests. Blenlly was so warm as she chatted with all the patrons in the restaurant. We chatted for a bit, and I settled on the Philly Cheesesteak with sweet potato fries. It was THE BEST VEGAN food I have ever tasted (and I have tasted a lot). I will NOT go anywhere else but here! Kudos to Blenlly and her husband as they have gotten it spot on! I forgot to take a pic (as I always do) but it was so good, I realized after :-). The FOOD, SERVICE and AMBIANCE was a ********* 10 STARS! read more

Wanted to try this place for a while. so I was in brooklyn and decided to just go there for lunch. the restaurant is nice and clean. I tried the juana mendez plate..But somehow it look so blend and not appetizing. The rice was tasty but the tostones and protein were un flavor..the chicken protein had no flavor. I did take a lunch special to go, and actually was much better than the one in the restaurant .I will try again in the future read more

Next Stop Vegan in Brooklyn never ceases to amaze me. It's incredible how many traditional Dominican and Caribbean dishes--normally so animal-heavy--are transformed into vibrant, delicious plant-based creations. I first met the owner years ago during a pop-up food festival in the Bronx, and watching the evolution into this brick-and-mortar gem has been inspiring. This spot is now an absolute must-visit. From the comforting sancocho to the flavorful chofán and the perfectly crafted mofonquitos, every dish is executed with care and authenticity. The service is equally outstanding--special shoutout to our server, Degar, whose warm and attentive energy made the experience even better. Last April, I brought about 20 friends, and everyone left obsessed. Now, I make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in NYC. My only wish? That the team makes Miami their Next Stop! read more

I got the Clasico Plato which was very flavorful - tasty mushrooms with onion and pepper, rice and plantain and a salad with avocado and a side of black beans. Yum!! It's a touch pricey as a lunch meal at $21+, but the quality and quantity for me make it OK - and I'll probably split this into two lunches. (Full disclosure they had a sign outside about lunch specials, but I wanted to try a regular classic plate). Staff is super nice, and the restaurant itself is quite cute. I definitely plan to return, as I still want to try an empanada! A nice addition to the neighborhood, for sure! read more

I believe I first heard about this place via social media & wanted to try them out as they're specializing in Latin infused vegan dishes. I didn't get to try any of the full dishes which all sound amazing. I did test out their empanadas which are delish & a side of their fried oyster mushrooms that were made to order. They have an assortment of choices made with soy beef and vegan cheese but do try them out. I had the pizza and Mac and cheese and they are a hit each and every time I get my combo of 3 which is decently 9.99 + tax . They're kinda expensive a meal starts at 15$ so there's literally nothing under that besides empanadas which I wish wasn't the case. I would love to see a $6-7 lunch special for folks who desire smaller portions when on the go. Food : 3.8/5 Tasty, flavorful. *Vegan Mac and cheese empanadas taste so good you wouldn't even realize it's not the real thing in my opinion. *The pizza empanada is a combination of vegan cheese with veggies and fried oyster mushrooms and it's really tasty and fulfilling Service: 3.8/5 greeted when coming in, pleasant for the most part. Could be improved when customer inquire about certain items being available and or wanting to know when they can expect more. Ambiance: Nice decor , spacious where you can have a small intimate gathering with friends and family. Bright and colorful, wonderful music playing I believe Latin nice vibe. I may add that I went back last week and got my regular empanadas and has an allergic reaction to something they used in the empanadas I think specifically the pizza one. Not sure but be careful if you have food allergies. I'll be inquiring about the ingredient list when I pass by the establishment. read more
