Black owned business alert! This was my second visit , my 1st visit I was super impressed..this time not so much. I ordered the vegan fish escovitch, peas and rice, and 2 patties (I can't recall which type) I didn't enjoy the food. The rice was crunchy, the patties lacked flavor, and the escovitch was just okay. The customer service was fairly exceptional except the staff allowed a friend in the establishment without a mask...during a pandemic! The gentleman pictured laughed and joked with staff for apx 10-15 minutes...with no mask...during a PANDEMIC! read more

Service here comes with a smile and a lot of help, the guy who served me answered all my questions and then some. I got the rice and peas with pumpkin stew, and though their prices are on the higher side, the food was quite good. It was fresh and tasty, not overly salty like most places, I enjoyed this little hole in a wall experience, and I'm looking forward to trying more dishes. Enjoy! Stay healthy! Happy Yelping! read more

Delicious food, nice staff in a no nonsense strip mall joint. Also has a grocery and herbs/oils/vitamins.

Love this little place in the Bronx. Was up visiting Pelham Bay Park and decided to stop in. The exterior and interior are no frills. You order through plexiglass. Seems pretty COVID safe. Get the patties. Clearly their specialty. Was kinda disappointed with the teriyaki I got - bland! Needed salt and spices or maybe a sauce. But oh man, I would get all the patties - I had both lentil and chikn. Chikn tasted a bit like Lipton noodle soup and lentil was a gorgeous earthy salty flavor. Recommend!! read more

So I've been following a path to a new diet which led me to a vegan diet. After two months of cooking my own meals and buying stuff in the store, I needed to start venturing out and finding places that is close to my house to cook meals that are vegan friendly. I found a place close to my job via a friend who has been doing vegan diet for about five years now this place is amazing. To be honest with you I'm not accustomed to Caribbean or Jamaican Food but I was able to ask the server behind the counter which was what, as far as the hot food that was for lunch behind the glass. To my knowledge I had some curry pumpkin ,vegan ribs, rice and cabbage it was excellent the cabbage was a little hard but everything else was spot on. The vegan vegetable patty was amazing definitely going back there today. read more

Block of breaded/fried tofu $2.25 Vegan Veggie Fritter Patty $1.10 Small Vegan Whole Grain Porridge $3.75 WHAT?!!! When do vegans EVER find prices this affordable!m?!! This place is a gem! They are very patient, efficient and kind! The porridge was tasty. I was able to choose between sweetened , unsweetened and "half and half". The small is filling! The block of breaded/fried tofu is perfectly seasoned. I ate it PLAIN and was blown away by how flavorful it was without any sauce or other additives!!! The fritter was a nice light, spicy kick. Not greasy or oily and very tasty too! A light crunch and little chewiness. Perfect balance! I am sitting here satisfied and delighted! The place was packed at 10:30am so I will take a leap and guess that if you get there in the later afternoon you may miss out! It seems they also change up their menu daily. Can't wait to eat here again! read more

Vegans Delight - Vegan whole grain porridge!!! Love that you can choose between sweet or unsweetened and even half and half - Vegan Near Me - New York, New York

I really like this place - it's one of the few places that actually carries ackee patties. I LOVE ackee but usually I only find it on menus, coupled with saltfish. Ackee is quite expensive (I've seen 14oz cans of it go for $7 or $8!) so I think that is what deters restaurants from serving it and customers from buying it. The ackee patties here run $3.50, which is significantly more expensive than the $2 callaloo, peas, tofu, or other patties, but I think they are worth it. I also had some food from the hot bar last time and it was pretty similar to the hot bars in all the Bronx Jamaican places - curried tofu, lots of faux meats, white pasta (similar to Chinese lo mein), and rice. I went with the BBQ tofu, which was good, the potato salad, which was also really good (so glad they have a vegan, mayo-based salad), and the eggplant, which was okay. The store is pretty well stocked with all sorts of canned, packaged, and frozen foods, plus lots of teas, protein powers, and vitamins. Like most small health food stores, the prices are a little high but it's the only option in the area so I am very glad they are here and offer so many items. NOTE: There is no dining area. You can only get your food to go. read more

Vegans Delight - The shop - Vegan Near Me - New York, New York

Simply put, Vegans Delight is an oasis in a desert where decent vegetarian and vegan options are few and far between. The service is very helpful and personable. I just finished my first lunch special here and it well exceeded my expectations. They have a number of hot entrees available for lunch and dinner and they are all tasty, Jamaican style. They can certainly hold their own against even the best hot food in the driving area such as Fairway and "International". They also have a decent selection of beverages and nutritional supplements. Anyone in the area, especially those with vegan and vegetarian diets, should definitely visit Vegan's Delight. In addendum, they have their own parking spaces which make visits even more convenient! read more

They are amazing. Just get there early because they sell out QUICK! Everything here is amazing. The Ackee patties are amazing. LOVE THEM!!!

So disappointed! I tried their teriyaki chicken, curry bean curd and curry vegan chunks. Every thing had a heavy medicinal taste to it that make it very off putting. I also got a medium size platter and that ran me about $12, which comes with a grain and two proteins. The gentleman who was serving me was very relaxed and gave me a small sample of the bean curd because I was contemplating that the vegan chunks I was anticipating the food to have a lot of flavor, especially with the curry, but the taste is almost hard to bear. I wish I found it as good as other reviewers did. read more

I was in Colorado for a while and got exposed to vegan food so when I came back to The Bronx I was in search for vegan spot to raid and to my surprise I found one not too far from my house the food was amazing I got the Curry seitan W/ stew lentils Brown rice and peas potato salad and dasheen also with a soy patty The second I bit into the Patty I knew I should've gotten more food The service is what you expect from older West Indians kind a snobby and rude but that's how you know the food is great all around read more

I had to give them 2 stars because of the customer service. The food is delicious but the young lady that works the food area is extremely rude for some reason. We aren't exactly sure why but we won't be coming back. It isn't the first time she has given us attitude either. read more

This place is charming and totally unexpected in this neighborhood. Came in to kill some time before work one day and munched on their ackee patty and ordered a kale patty for later. They were really delicious and light yet filling. Most people come here for takeout but they have a small counter seating section by the window with an accessible outlet for charging devices and what not. read more

Patties have no flavor. Close whenever they feel like it, prices are over the top for basic things you can buy at Trader Joe's

I found this lovely small vegan convenience store / deli / buffet on a whim when I searched near a per diem job I picked up for kicks. Prior to this, I have had very little luck / experience with vegan food in the Bronx so I was "delighted" to find this just a few minutes away from my office. I walked in to find several shelves full of mock meats, vegan ingredients such as vital wheat gluten, Bob's Red Mill packages, an entire row of hot sauces (score!) and a buffet / by the pound area where they sell Ital-style food and patties. I got the vegan beed patty, a couple vegetable ones and the breakfast combo, a few hot sauces, some candies and misc other items and left paying under 30$! The food was great, it all tasted like it was made with love. And while we're on that point, the staff really seem to love what they do and take care of their customers. I had asked a couple questions about random items and the lady behind the counter insisted I try free samples. When I protested, she insisted further, when I offered to pay, she adamantly refused to accept money for the sample -- the sample behind an entire candy. Love this spot and I will definitely be back! The only drawback is that they serve honey on the shelves, which is not vegan per-say, but I know some don't necessarily agree. I would prefer to see them selling agave (which they do), vegan honey like Bee-Free, slippery elm, etc. read more

Well worth is I swear this is it for me. The price GREAT the taste Great. Only thing about this place you have to eat After your works done cause you WILL be having ittis lol GREAT PLACE read more

I love this place. I love their vegan patties - ackee and lentil in particular - and all the food is cooked fresh. I also appreciate that they have vegan meat alternatives available that I can't get from whole foods or other vegan friendly stores without going deep into Chinatown. It's a real gem. read more

What can I say that Cassandra hasn't said? I heard about vegan delight through their cakes. My personal trainer order the red velvet and it was sooooo freaking good. I finally stopped by. The setup is like a small grocery store with take out food and a juice bar. The food is the standard Caribbean fare: rice and peas, stewed/curried mock meats, potato salad, etc. I definitely plan to order a cake. They also cater. read more

I've been there so many times and the food was delicious and I couldn't get enough. But last time I ordered during covid, I'm not sure if there's a change in the cook or recipe but it tasted watered down and bland. Now I'm debating whether I should try this place again based on my great past experiences or this one really bad time. Hoping it was just a bad batch. read more

Solid Afro-Caribbean ital cuisine. They also have a diverse selection of organic/ homeopathic boxed cereals, snacks, and juices, a quality juice bar, a variety of roots and bitters based drinks, and vegan pastries. If you are in the North East Bronx and have a hankering for healthy food of the west indian variety in particular, and or in need of freshly prepared organic/ vegan prepackaged foods, drinks, pastries, and snacks check this place out. One last note, if you are buying a meal know that this place is strictly take out, and unless you are willing to park your rear on the side walk outside this joint there is no place to sit. Good stuff. read more

I had high hopes and expectations going into this particular establishment. It's exciting to have vegan and healthy options in the Bronx and we need more of them. So I'm always rooting for eateries that strive to rectify our limited healthy food options problem. But I was let down mostly. This review is strictly for the hot food section. They have a nice little selection of different vegan dishes. The dishes I opted for were the plantains, boiled bananas, sautéed vegan chicken, super green porridge and a veggie patty. The plantains were pretty bad and the boiled bananas were so so. The sautéed vegan chicken was the best dish I had and I would recommend it. It's also the only thing I would return to get. The super green porridge smelled amazing. It had a spicy pungent aroma that seemed indicative of a dish bursting with flavor, but it had absolutely none. The veggie patty was pretty much an onion patty because that's the only vegetable I saw inside of it. It wasn't your usual veggie patty bursting with vegetables, it was extremely thin with only the aforementioned onions. Overall this place isn't anything to write home about, but it's better than nothing. Hopefully its existence inspires the emergence of more restaurants of its ilk in the Bronx. read more

Food is excellent, if you are on a Daniel fast you will feel like you are cheating, the vegan minced meat if fantastic. They also sell a red rice that is soooo good full of nutrients and s absolutely delightful, takes a long time to cook, and is expensive, but it's worth it. Almost persuaded to become a vegan, I did say almost. But try it I'm sure you'll love it read more

Fantastic. We ordered the large breakfast for $11.00, and it was plenty for two people. Really delicious vegan food with a West Indian character and spice. The kitchen was really clean (I peeked), and the man who waited on us was great - he put together such a nice mix of their breakfast offerings - kale, tofu scramble, white yams, seitan stew - really delicious, fresh and healthy! Don't miss the cakes - vegan carrot cake was moist, flavorful and really satisfying. They also have a very nice selection of healthy groceries - I'd be in here every day if I lived in the neighborhood : ) read more

The patties are amazing i recommend calloo. Their food is bland though.. they need to put more seasoning.

This place is awesome Lil gem in the bx food is delicious and u can find a variety of vegan products

I was very excited to try this place but was disappointed. I ordered the fish, ackee, callaloo and vegetable patties. I also got the porridge. The patties were underwhelming and very scarcely filled for the price point. The callaloo patty was mostly crust and had no flavor which really upset me. I paid 3 dollars for more crust than anything. The porridge was the saving grace. It was creamy and had a nice cinnamon taste. I also checked out the dried veggie meat options and saw that they were ridiculously overpriced. I couldn't believe the prices. I was looking forward to making this a regular spot for me. Sadly I won't be back. read more

I give this place a big fat F!! For flavorful, fresh, friendly, fantastic, and f*cking delicious!!! Even the customers were friendly and happy to help me decide what to get!! I forget what they are called but they have these savory filled pastries that are out of this world! Buttery flakey crust, with a variety of perfectly seasoned scrumptious fillings. Legit my only complaint is that they aren't located anywhere near where I live. If you are anywhere near this place and don't eat here you're missing out big time!! read more
