    Massive sandwich for $15. I got the not a Reuben and it had to be 16 inches long. I really liked the flavor of their Seitan meat, and it wasn't dry. The bread was fantastic - it was an excellent crusty roll. However, the sandwich tasted off. I like sauerkraut and mustard so maybe it was the vegan cheese sauce that sort of ruined the flavor and prevented it from being an amazing sandwich. It looked gray and gross so this was probably it. Garden Grille right up the road still has the best Reuben-type sandwich I've ever had. I know PVDeli's isn't a typical Reuben sandwich because there's no rye bread, but they should take notes from what Garden Grille does. There's is out of this world! The staff there was very friendly and welcoming.

    Great food every time and a well trained friendly staff. The Cannonball is an excellent vegan bbq sandwich served on fresh bread. Free bag of Cape Cod Potato Chips with each sandwich. Reasonable priced as well.

    Providence Vegan Deli is a spot that pleasantly surprised me! I'm not vegan, but I do enjoy and appreciate good and creative vegan food. I ordered The Big Toona sandwich, and I loved it! I got the smaller size (which was still massive), and I was so impressive with the delicious flavors and textures. The "Toona" was a chickpea salad, and it was so satiating. The interior of the restaurant was also very cute and clean with plenty of seating. The worker who took our order was playing a Twenty One Pilots radio, so that was already a strong start to our visit! She was very kind and patient as we decided which sandwiches to get. I would highly recommend Providence Vegan to Deli to anyone, regardless of dietary needs. And this would be a perfect spot to take your vegan or vegetarian friends!

    Potato salad

    We were planning to get some ice cream from Like No Udder, and when we saw that they shared their space with Providence Vegan Deli, it made our dinner choice really easy. They make their seitan meats in-house, and the portions are large, so we decided to share a few items. My kid immediately zeroed in on the massive meatballs made from seitan, tofu, and veggies. The meatball was too big for him to eat the whole thing, so we finished it for breakfast, and it was really well-seasoned and just as good the second day. The potato salad was so creamy and tasty, one of my favorite things we got. We shared two of the smaller size of the sandwiches - the Frank (the Italian grinder) and the Trio (corned beef, turkey, pepperoni, and cheese). Both sandwiches were good, completely packed with ingredients, but the Italian was the clear winner. Would 100% get that again. Great place to go for vegan alternatives to classic deli sandwiches.

    I'm a longtime vegetarian who is always hankering for a good sandwich, and I feel like I hit the jackpot with Providence Vegan Deli. I got the Toona and it was huge! It needed a little extra pepper, but it was pretty solid. It came with a bag of Cape Cod chips and I also ordered a side of sweet and spicy potato hash that was delicious. The service was prompt and it's a cool shop with nice vibes. I'll definitely be back here in the future.

    I'm trying to shy away from bread so I opted for a tofu based "egg - ish" salad on top of fennel salad with pickles, tomatoes and onions.

    Don't let East Providence scare you. They've got some great places to eat. Like The Providence Vegan Deli. Think Artesian meets urban legends. Mingled together and we get a delicatessen a savory treats.

    Took my 10 year old roommate to Providence Vegan Deli today as an attempt to use all my RI FOOD FIGHTS Sandwich coupons. The place shares its space with Like No Udder, a vegan ice cream shop. It was bright and clean but also a bit cramped for space. Our cashier was lovely, showing us the options and giving us plenty of time to sort out what we wanted. We decided to take it to go since the place was pretty full and we don't mind eating in a car We got the Vera and The Frank. The Vera was their version of a meatball sub, and the Frank was their Italian grinder. Both were really tasty. The Vera was surprisingly good. While the texture was soft for a meatball, it was seasoned in a way that you got the classic red sauce Italian taste. The sauce was delicious, and the VioLife provolone melted into this creamy like sauce that was a lovely accompaniment to the sandwich. The roommate had the Frank and he loved it! He rated it a 9 out of 10. His only complaint is he wished it had more "meat" and less of the fresh veggies. It was really packed with shredded lettuce so I understand how that can overwhelm the sandwich. He did an elite move and added a bag of Cape Cod chips to the sandwich. He ate about half, so I look forward to trying the leftovers later I like going out for vegan even though I don't ascribe to the diet/lifestyle because I am often surprised and delighted by what people are creating out of plants out there. This place is no exception. Other selections on the menu included buffalo chicken, egg salad, and even a rueben. All meatless, of course. Enough interesting options that I wouldn't mind coming back and I won't hesitate to recommend this spot for my vegan/vegetarian friends.

    Firestorm 6"
    Michael P.

    One of the stops on our RI food fights best sandwich.. I have to say I was impressed. This place was good, and no, not just "good for a vegan deli", it was good as far as sandwich shops go in general! I ordered the firestorm which had Ethiopian spiced seitan. It was very flavorful and those warm spices are right up my alley. Think spices like cumin, allspice, clove, nutmeg etc. The 6" sandwich was PACKED with the seitan, the vegan cheese and had a healthy helping of shredded lettuce. Despite all it's filling, it maintained a good moisture and mouthfeel with the mayo they used here. All in all, this was a good level of spice. Not overwhelming to me and I'm not exactly a mad-chili-head but I can get on with some spice. The portion was fantastic and the folks running the joint were super friendly (and had twenty one pilots on loop so bonus points for that). Here is the description for my sandwich: "House made hot and spicy Ethiopian spiced seitan, The Stuff house made hot mayo, violife cheddar cheese, jalapeños, lettuce and tomato on a soft grinder roll." Overall, I loved it. I have to admit it's difficult to get past the processed flavor of the vegan violife cheese, this sandwich would have been a 10/10 with some real cheddar but, it's a vegan sandwich shop after all. Would definitely see myself back here especially if I were with a crowd that had some dietary restrictions. Thanks Providence Vegan Deli!

    Vegan Reuben, add jalapeños
    El H.

    3.5 stars. I got the vegan Reuben add jalapeños, and it was fine. The employees were nice and I liked that they share a space with a vegan ice cream shop, but the sandwich just wasn't anything to write home about. If I came back, I'd order a different sandwich! I did really like the seitan, though, but it didn't taste like corned beef. I wish it would've had thousand island instead of mustard (and I love mustard)!

    Italian Grinder Sandwich
    Willie W.

    Came back two days in a row. First I got the Grinder, then the next day I got the Trio. Both were good but I enjoyed the Grinder the best. The sandwiches were a little dry at first but all of the moisture was located near the crease of the bun. If I had it my way I would distribute the dressing more evenly throughout the sandwich so that each bite is more balanced. Service was curt but the cashier was very knowledgeable. Prices for the sandwiches are good for a vegan meal and the sandwich came with chips. I will return.

    The Frank
    Tanya W.

    Finally got to try this place after seeing their recipes and sandwiches on TikTok. Did not disappoint! Ordered the Frank which had fresh ingredients, and the seitan was well seasoned. I'll have to come back to try the Firestorm. The sandwiches are HUGE but like any deli sandwich they do get soggy if you try to save them for later.

    The yummiest vegan deli on the east side from the owner of Like no Udder (which now shares a space). Plenty of parking in both a lot and on the street. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Menu is smallish to start, but plenty of options. I ordered the cannonball, frank the Italian, and firestorm. So delicious! Homemade seitan daily. Fresh bread too. I was told the potato salad sells out daily, so I got a side of that. You do get a bag of Utz chips with each sandwich. So nice! Hours are limited, so do check the website or social channels. Cannot wait to see this place flourish. Welcome to Hope Street!

    The "Frank" and the chick'n salad
    Katrina M.

    No frills strip-mall type deli but make it all vegan? Count me in! I ordered the most popular sandwich on the menu - "Frank, the Italian" which is a classic Italian grinder/hoagie/sub with housemade seitan (pepperoni, ham, and Italian style) with Violife provolone, banana peppers, onions, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and Italian dressing. The large/full size is absolutely massive and far more than I was capable of eating so I'd definitely go with the 6" next time if you are just a standard level of hungry. Very impressed with the seitan made in-house and the contrast of textures on fluffy bread. I also tried the chick'n salad but the chick'n was too dense/chewy for my liking so I think I'd go with the mac or potato salad next time. I arrived right as the shop was opening up at noon and there was already a decent line to order - I'm so pleased to see how popular this place is! They made all the orders quickly and I was enjoying my sandwich in no time. Awesome spot!

    After seeing maven's delicatessen on Instagram, I had to come here…read more It was a blistering hot day out, and I walked into a pleasantly air-conditioned establishment. Loved the atmosphere and the place was spotless. One of the waitresses seated us asked us if we'd like a drink and pickles with coleslaw. We said yes pickles were great. Coleslaw was very vinegary. Was not a fan of that. We both ordered half a pound of pastrami sandwiches with Swiss cheese and mustard. The pastrami was very lean and sliced very thin and that was good. But I found the pastrami lacking in flavor. I think I was expecting pastrami like they sell at Katz's deli or the old now closed Carnegie's in New York. Would come back to try other things.

    I really wanted to like Maven's. With all the hype surrounding this place, I expected something…read morespecial. After several visits, though, I'd describe it with one word: meh. To be clear, the food isn't bad. It's perfectly edible. The problem is that it's also remarkably average, especially considering the prices they're charging. Nothing I've ordered has made me think, "I can't wait to come back for that." It's just...fine. We actually visited during opening weekend, and it was a bit of a mess. They ran out of pastrami, which is a pretty big problem for a deli that was generating so much excitement. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because opening weekends can be chaotic. Since then, we've been back several times hoping things would improve, but the experience has been largely the same. The biggest issue, aside from the food being average, is the service. It's consistently slow. I can understand waiting when a restaurant is packed, but we've experienced long waits even when there were very few customers inside. It feels like everything moves at half speed, and that's been true on multiple visits. I also think they're trying a little too hard to be Katz's Delicatessen. That's an incredibly high bar, and instead of trying to recreate that experience, I'd rather see them focus on becoming the best version of themselves. Right now, it feels like the ambition exceeds the execution. The one thing I will gladly compliment is the bagels. They've been excellent every time we've ordered them, and honestly, they're probably the strongest item on the menu. I do think there's plenty of room for improvement, which is why I'm giving two stars instead of one. There's clearly potential here, and I genuinely hope they find their footing because I'd love to have another great deli in the area. We'll probably give them another chance down the road, and I hope I can come back and update this review with a much more positive experience.

The person behind the counter let me know that their menu changes weekly based on the what ingredients are in season and available.

Since we were 5 people, we joined a couple tables to have more space. We went to the counter to grab a menu and decide on what we'd get. To have a diverse plate, we decided on pasta and meatballs, a large grilled chicken sandwich with everything + mayo, and a large pizza 3-way combo - onions and pepper, pepperoni, and sausage. They don't have 2 L bottles of soda, but they were nice enough to let us know we could go buy one across the street at the gas station (downside: they are not refrigerated). They also asked if we wanted everything at the same time or whenever they're done; It was a kind gesture. After about 20-30 minutes, the food came out. It was hot, fresh, and overall, everything was delicious. The pasta and meatballs came out in an aluminum container, about 5 in x 8 in. There was a good amount of red sauce and 4 big meatballs. The meatballs were really delicious, with the red sauce being average, and the pasta cooked a bit longer than al dente. I usually prefer white sauces, but red is the only option they have. They couldn't cut to the sandwich is 5 pieces since it would create a mess, so the best they could do is 4. The sandwich was toasted perfectly. It had a good amount of chicken. The toppings were fresh. Although it was a simple sandwich, I was very pleased with the taste. The pizza was good. My only complaint would be that I wish it were cooked a bit more for a crispier experience - in hindsight, I should've specified this when ordering. This also goes for the veggies where I wish they were grilled to have a slight char before putting it on the pizza or allowing them to get crispy. However, I think flavor wise, it was good. The sausage was really delicious and the cheese, although it didn't have a pull, it was the right amount and tasty. We paid about $50 for this food, which was good considering the 5 of us ate and left satisfied.
