This place is 10 / 10. I say this as a longtime vegan. I've traveled the world eating at some of the finest vegetarian and vegan eateries. The service was quick, and the server was friendly and knowledgeable. The vibe and ambiance was lovely. We felt transported into an oasis, you will not be able to tell from the outside how cozy while spacious the place is. The variety of food on the menu is impressive. My personally favorites are the kale & butter bean, the fired mushrooms, and the roasted pepper rigatoni. read more

First timer here . One of our friends suggested this and we came on a weeekday . Parking was a bit wierd coming from backside and Google maps doesn't give a clear direction. We had to drive few more meters and then take a u turn . I wish the board outside is much more clear . It's tough to spot this place . The inside of the restaurant was superrrrrr awesome ! Wow , never I have seen so much space between tables ! It's SPACIOUS ! Loved the atmosphere inside . Very good restaurant to have a peaceful talk . Service was awesome too. They got our food in 10-15 mins , which was ok. We just loved their peri peri fries ! Wow . One of my favorite ... we also had a a chicken burger kinda veg burger ! Interesting dish . We loved it . They made it so crisp and it tasted great . The quantity was also very sumptous ! Salad was the best overall. Well made . Lots of good ingredients and tasted super good . To finish we had brownie with ice cream and it was good too ! Costed us about 50-60$ , which was slightly expensive but we loved the food . Will surely back and eat . 4 stars read more

What a great experience! I placed an order for pickup today. I had a meeting at 12:30, but it wouldn't allow time to order for an earlier time on their website. So, I texted the restaurants number and they got back to me right away and accommodated an earlier time for me to pick it up! Based on the reviews I ordered the chicken sandwich and Caesar salad and it did not disappoint. I was a little worried it might be oily as most fried foods are but I finished feeling super satisfied and not grossly full compared to other fried foods. The crispiness of the sandwich was on point as well! I was also amazed at the size of the kale salad given I had just ordered a side, but I was so happy with the portion! I'd love to come back and try some of their other options like the mushrooms and kale & butter beans one day so this won't be my last time here! read more

Great experience! Cultivate represents what small business and good eating is all about. I didn't catch his name (assuming the owner) but my wife and I walked in to very warm greetings. I look around and saw beautiful decorations throughout the place and lots of space. Felt very cozy walking in. Anyway, let's get to what you all are waiting for... the food was great. Started off with the sheet pan nachos and crispy fried Shrooms. Nachos were good but the fried shrooms were fantastic. For the mains we had the lemon garlic linguine and Khao Soi. Everything was fresh, full of flavor and prepared perfectly. Overall, this was a great birthday dinner and I look forward to visiting again! read more

Amazing! So delicious . Many gluten free options as well. I love the decor too! Friendly service. Menu QR code is on the table and you place the order on your phone or at the counter. Loved this place. I am definitely going back to try more items and getting the nachos again because they're THAT good! read more

Cultivate is really clean and nice if you want to try non meat options. The mushrooms are my favorite but the nachos are good and so is the pasta. I believe the use beyond meat. The mushrooms are between $11-15 but they're really good. read more

Ordered my fav walnut and chocolate cookies from here the other day . And I was highly disappointed !! Tooo sweet and tooo mushy. So obviously they are not consistent with the cookie batter ! read more

Two of us dined in. The restaurant feels very pop-up. Pretty sure we were sitting on Ikea patio chairs. Nice decor and polite staff, but they told us to order through our phone, which I considered tedious. Paying through the phone didn't work for us so they were happy to take payment at the counter. The crispy fried mushrooms were amazing, enough for 4 people. The chicken piccata was delicious, also very generous portions, especially with added mushrooms. My date got a chicken sandwich, which was good. He opted for chili cheese fries instead of the included fries- again the cheese fries were twice as much as he needed. Overall it seemed like a great place to order takeout from, wish I lived closer. read more

My new addiction: their Shrooms! Was pressed for time so I picked out what they were most popular for and now, I'm hooked! Waaaaay better than calamari or ANY chicken nugget! Fried oyster mushrooms with a hot maple dipping sauce. I can't get enough! And hours later, my leftovers were STILL crispy! Who said plant-based eating can't be delicious? My server was not only efficient and knowledgeable but he put up with my malarky so that's a bonus in my book! The place airy, contemporary, clean, but I'm also getting dance studio vibes. I just love it! I've already told my whole world about this place & their free parking. Which, btw, is kinda tricky to get into but so worth it!Cant wait to go back & try errrrthang else! read more

I've been here a multiple times and the food has always been great and the staff also wonderful. Last time I went, my mom ordered a burger that she'd ordered before but this time they had new buns with sesame seeds on it which she cannot eat. She asked the waiter if she could get two bottom buns and he told us there would probably be some seeds left on it. My mom said not to worry about it, she was fine with just the fries, but they INSISTED on getting her something else free of charge. She ended up getting the manchurian cauliflower, but without a ranch dressing on the side instead of the usual sauce because she cannot handle spicy food at all and it was really good. Time came around to pay and the burger hadn't been taken off the receipt, which was fine. They gave us something else instead so my mom didn't mind paying for it. The waiter literally came running out the door to stop my mom from paying because it hadn't been taken off the receipt. He took her up to the register to pay to make sure we weren't charged for anything extra and that the burger was taken off. Love this place and would highly recommend! :) read more

My friend suggested to check this spot out on for our next date and i'm so glad we did! It has a free parking lot which is a plus. The space is open and laid back. There's a couple of tables if you want to dine in. I love how and each person at the table can place an order through scanning a QR code. My friend and I decided to order the nachos and crispy fried shrooms. They were both soooo good especially the nachos! The fried shrooms came with an aioli that was a perfect match. For our mains, the not a chicken sandwich paired with fries. The sandwich was super tasty and filling. Of course we saved room for the dessert; GET THE CHOCOLATE CHIP WALNUT COOKIES! Half dozen, baked to order cookies. They were perfection! Best vegan cookie hands down. The mixed berry iced tea sweetened with agave was good too. Everything was a 10/10! read more

Food was delicious, specifically the fried mushroom appetizer with the homemade mustard sauce was our favorite! While I wish the portions were bigger for the price that we paid, the quality of the food was excellent. They also had a local farmer of mushrooms selling mushrooms in the restaurant, pretty neat. Local supporting local is what it's all about . The service was very offhand, customers were instructed to input their own orders on their phones and pay on them as well. While we were brought water and our food was run, no servers checked on us during our dining time. At one point I had to get up to find one of them with a question. This type of dining definitely has its charm, however more paper menus would be beneficial for those who don't have service on their phones or honestly for those who prefer not to be on their phones during dinner. Lastly, The computer system automating 20% tip on your bill for laid-back and minimal service, seems a bit insulting to those who work in the industry and do much more. It also puts customers in an awkward position making them feel as though they have to tip that much. And just to clarify, I am a fellow server who tips at least 25% anywhere I go. The service here did not earn it, but of course I gave it to them anyway since it made me feel too weird to choose a lower tip amount. All in all, we enjoyed our dinner and the ambience very much. I would absolutely recommend the food here again, and hope the service becomes more interactive in the future. Everyone who works there is already so nice so they're halfway there P.S. it's byob! read more

This place is amazing! Went for dinner Friday night with my fiance. We got the peri peri fries to start, and these are a must try. They have a unique spice blend that gives it a bit of a kick without being overbearing. My fiance got the chicken piccata, which came in a rich but not too heavy sauce and the "chicken" had great taste and texture. At the suggestion of the restaurant's message board, I got the kale caesar salad and was not disappointed. The dressing was flavorful and bright, and the addition of chicken made it a very solid meal. We also got the crispy fried shrooms with some tasty dipping sauce. The shrooms were perfectly crispy and not overly crunchy/oily, definitely another highlight. The waiter was also friendly and clearly recognized his regulars that were dining there or picking up food. Can't wait to go back here again. read more

The server did not fully explain how to order. We were told that we could order either online using a QR code or we could get a paper menu. It was implied, based on past dining experiences, that when using the QR code menu a sever would still take our order. In reality, anyone using the QR code is expected to place the order and pay even when dining in. This extended our wait time unfortunately. The food however was so good! The "chicken" was really good and full of flavor. The signature sauces on the sandwiches were tasty. The fries were the perfect mix of crunchy and soft. The real winner were the chocolate chip walnut cookies. The deserts here are fairly priced and come out fresh. The ambiance was friendly but the decor choice made it feel empty. read more

We were finally in the area and had a chance to try Cultivate! The facade is unassuming but the interior is beautiful with a great vibe - lovely decor, soft music, live plants and succulents around. The food was phenomenal, both taste and presentation. We tried the mushroom "calimari",peri peri fries, caesar salad, buffalo chicken sandwich, eggplant napoleon, and cookies. The calimari was very garlicky, but delicious! Everything was so good. I loved the light lemony flavor of the salad, the crispiness of the chicken patty on the sandwich, and the creamy ricotta on the eggplant. The fries were pretty spicy! The cookies came out still warm. Service was friendly and attentive without being hovery. We'll be back! read more

Very yummy and unique vegan food! Very laid back and casual, one of the staff cane up to us and explained how it worked he was so so nice! I got the mushroom pasta alfredo and the fries with nacho cheese on the aide. Both were delicious howveer u did feel the pasta has a lot of oil in it which made me feel like u didnt want to eat it anymore, also wished the pasta was a tad bit more cooked. Other than that very great options for a vegan!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cultivate, a vegan restaurant that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the experience was delightful. It was well lit with tables spaced out to create an intimate dining experience. The ordering process was a breeze, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. We appreciated how easy it was to split the check among our group, making the whole dining experience hassle-free. Now, let's talk about the food. The flavors were absolutely fantastic! Each dish we tried was packed with deliciousness and left us craving for more. However, it was the desserts that truly stole the show. The Crème brûlée was a dream come true. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. The lightness of the custard and the caramelized sugar on top created an exquisite harmony of flavors. It was a dessert that left a lasting impression. Another standout was the Brownie with sweet cream ice cream. The brownie itself was rich and decadent, while the accompanying sweet cream ice cream provided a refreshing and creamy contrast. The textures were spot on, and the combination was simply divine. It's worth noting that getting desserts right can be a challenge, but Cultivate nailed it perfectly. They truly understand the art of creating delightful vegan desserts that rival any non-vegan options out there. Overall, this place is top notch- I'd highly recommend giving them a try. *they are also on DoorDash! read more

This place was recommended to us, and I would say to definitely give this place a try. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and stopped by for lunch. The restaurant was decorated nicely and had plenty of seating. They also had a good amount of parking as well. The service was great. We were quickly greeted, and we were seated. We ordered the nachos to share as an appetizer, my husband ordered the vegan chicken piccatta, and I ordered the vegan chicken Buffalo burger with peri peri fries with ranch. The presentation of the food was excellent, and the portions were great. We were already planning our next visit. I think it's a great place to get some great vegan food. Even for non vegans I think there is something for everyone. read more

I wanted some vegan food and wanted to give this restaurant a try. I ordered the khao soi online. When I arrived I parked in the private lot. I walked into this cute restaurant. The nice young man came out and I told him my name. My food was ready and I left. When I dug in I wasn't too much of a fan of the meal. It was a little too sweet for me. It wasn't bad tasting but wasn't my favorite. I had an ok experience. read more

Everything here is AMAZING! I've tried a bunch of items so far off of the menu and have not been disappointed by a single item. The eggplant is delicious, and a generously sized portion. Their smash burger (impossible burger) is hands down the best I've had! Love it! Another favorite is the roasted pepper rigatoni- wow! It's so delicious and has a hearty sauce with vegetarian sausage mixed into it. It's so good! Whether you eat here or get your food to go, don't miss out....take my word for it, try it today and thank me later! read more

Amazing new spot that opened up in Rahway. So HAPPY to have a new go to place that is VEGAN!! I highly encourage everyone to check this place out. So many different options on the menu. Food: My go to orders are the "Not a Chicken Sandwich" and the Buffalo chicken sandwich. I don't know how they do it but it tastes justttttt like chicken?!? Mind blown! The peri peri fries + the cheesy chili fries are also a must try! To go / Take out: We usually order to go and I'm fairly surprised at how quickly this food is delivered. I think their beverage options are a little too sweet for my personal taste. But the delicious food definitely makes up for that. read more

This place was recommended to me, so I was a little hesitant at first . Then I looked at the menu and the presentation of the food looked delicious so I ordered .. The food was absolutely delicious !! That regular chicken but not chicken sandwich was extraordinary, the pica fries and the sausage rigatoni was dynamite to the taste buds.... not too many people can make plant based food taste great !! I didn't eat in but from what I saw the sit down area was simple and nice it could be spruced up a little but I think is a new establishment.. it's very clean and open. The customer service was great as well from the quick ordering and the suggestions from the cashier were very helpful..ANNNDDDD the wait was not long at all !! read more

I ordered delivery via Uber eats and the food was amazing. The impossible burger and the fried mushrooms specifically. The only reason it's not a 5-start review is because the restaurant doesn't do anything to secure the food to prevent the drivers from tampering with the food. Not a sticker, staple or anything. In 2024 I feel that's odd. The fries that come with the burger were missing and idk if that's because the Uber driver took it or they didn't pack it. No idea. So yeah, secure your delivery orders. read more
