Since visiting Happy Vegans for the first time on a cold night in February we had the opportunity to return around two more times because the food is delicious. I tried the vegetarian kofte in one of the outside bazaars in Istanbul and the sticky dipping sauce that's made with pomegranate molasses it's the best thing to eat with the kofte and lettuce leaves along with the spicy peppers. Another dish I always purchase here is their lentil soup and chai (Turkish tea) If you are a vegetarian or vegan, love Turkish / Mediterranean food, and are looking for a different dish to try check out this place. Another pro is that they have these large wooden tic-tac-toe games to play at your table. The only cons are no parking so park on the side streets. read more

The food was superb! My stomach feels happy right after eating here. The ingredients they use for their dishes are healthy and delicious. The cashier taking my order was very cordial, friendly, and accommodating. She gets an A+. The ambiance was beautiful with its green walls, electronic menu, and inviting aesthetic. read more

I really miss meat gyros but the vegan gyros over turmeric rice really scratched that itch! It was delicious as was the Mediterranean salad (even the out of season tomatoes were good). Also loved the baklava. read more

I was in the neighborhood, stopped by for lunch and loved it! The restaurant was extremely clean, they have a great selection of vegan food, the prices are reasonable and the owner was very friendly. I tried a vegetable burger w/fries and it was fantastic. I will definitely be going back again to try some more of their items! They have something for everyone. read more

So I have tried the Hoboken location so wanted to give this location a try. First they rarely answer the phone. I tried to call before and no one ever answered. Luckily after a couple tries I got someone. The server answered and I ordered the chickpea over rice and koftah wrap and it came to close to $15. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and the man that took my order was working alone. I called to him and he came and took my payment and my food. When I got home I dug in and I liked the chickpea and rice. The wrap was just ok, wasn't a huge fan. All in all I had an ok experience. read more

I was in the area and looking online for a place to pick up a quick bite and came across this place. The menu online showed pics of something called kofteh which I had never heard of before and I also saw a selection of chickpea stuff, a black bean burger and a dish that included falafels. My friend is picky - only an alkaline diet so I figured the chickpea dishes or the falafel meal would be perfect. In the worst case scenario, I figured the black bean burger would suffice. When I got there I was advised the menu at that location was limited and it's the other location that has more expansive meal choices. I was disappointed to say the least. I felt like their online menu or website should specifically indicate that. I mean seriously there are people who cannot eat their kofteh. This was my first time ever hearing about kofteh. Their menu suggests that this vegan dish- kofteh consists of cracked wheat, onion juice, garlic, tomato paste and many other seasonings. For those like my friend who follow a strict alkaline diet: garlic, wheat, tomato paste and black pepper are ingredients that one cannot consume. The establishment serves kofteh on a wrap or with salad. I chose the salad. It costs me $12. I probably would not have gotten anything since I was a bit frustrated about the confusion with the dishes they offered but the young man that worked there asked me if I wanted to sample the kofteh. So just so you know. The kofteh sits outs in a type of countertop built-in bowl that's carefully covered with plastic wrap. It's a soft, moldable type of product (kind of similar to clay) When they prepare your dish, they grab the kofteh and squeeze it into their gloved fingers, giving it the unique shape that you see in their establishment pictures. I tasted the sample and I thought it was delicious. At that point, I ordered the salad with 20 pieces of kofteh. But they served me iceberg lettuce in the salad. Why can't food establishments splurge just a little bit more and offer mixed greens, spinach, romaine lettuce or maybe even baby kale? - anything but iceberg! It's 2021 for Goodness sake and we all know there's NO nutritional value in iceberg lettuce :-/ All in all, I totally loved the kofteh (I brought some home and my son did not like it) but I was not pleased with the misleading menu nor the iceberg lettuce. If I decide to go back, I'll ride over to their Hoboken location where they have more meal choices. I'll also skip their salad and opt for the wrap. Despite my displeasure, I do recommend others give it a shot. read more

I ordered from this restaurant once before I had the kofte wrap, and the baklava. I went mainly for the baklava, it's so hard to find vegan baklava. It was delicious. This time I ordered back in December on a rainy night where I had gotten turned around but remembered the restaurant since I was in the area, I decided to make the most of it and ordered roller borek the 3 piece but the man suggested getting five pieces because it was a better deal. It was, but with the falafel and rice plus baklava it was more than I intended to spend so I asked for it to be taken off. But the worker gave me baklava as a gift, which I was pleasantly surprised by and I deeply appreciated. It made my night. I had wanted to try the carrot sink but he suggested I try the soda instead as it might not be to my taste. So I got the pineapple soda. The roller borek was delicious, the texture was soft and crispy with a soft creamy mozzarella inside which , tasted just like I remember mozzarella and the falafel was soft and flavorful and delicious with hummus and rice. The soda cleansed my palate. The baklava was flaky, sweet, and a perfect dessert. All in all next time I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by again. read more

Ordered through UberEats to be delivered to another location. Food was ordered with water and that was not provided. The menu online is very very different than the menu available thru UberEats. No utensils were provided, no sauce was provided. Lacked flavor. The only good part of this meal was the coconut rice. read more

Ack! I so want to like this place but every time I try to order from them something happens and goes awry. The food is just ok. Don't waste your money with the smoothies, they taste like nothing. There's so much potential for a little vegan restaurant in this area where everything is meat centric! I'm rooting for them, but they've got to up their game :( read more

One of the best vegetarian/vegan restaurants I've eaten at. This needs restaurant needs to move to NYC.

Restaurant name changed for a expanded menu. This is what the owners explained to us. This is our 1st time to visit since they changed their name to Happy Vegans and expanded their menu. I must say, it is the same cleanliness and friendliness. Additionally, a wider selection of vegan food! We ordered Tofu over Turmeric Rice, a big plate of cig kofte and smoothies. I like the fact that they are partially eco-friendly now, they use eco-friendly to go containers, straws, and cups. Hopefully, they will be completely eco-friendly soon! Their version of cig kofte is excellent, it has so much flavor, and richness. I should not compare to the previous one because the old one was good too- BUT THIS ONE IS DEFINITELY VERY RICH AND FLAVORFUL. Turmeric Rice was so tasty! Love the vegan butter taste. And the Tofu wow! It has unique taste. Soooo addicting! And it tastes like chicken (I am not a total vegan, but I like healthy food) sauce is similar to Teriyaki flavor but better because You can taste that they put generous ingredients to their sauce. read more

Baught food for the all family and e every thing went to the garbage. Its un eatable. Poor ingredients, cold dishes, not tasty. I dont like to post such reviews on a small business but I took almost every dish that the have and NOTHING was good- the meat balls tasted like rubber, the burek hardly had any filling, the paste was dry and tasteless and on and on Sorry, I really hoped for better. read more

I was happy to find a vegan restaurant. Only to be disappointed with the food. It was nothing to be excited about. I won't be going back.

Happy Vegans is the best vegan place I've been to it's soo fresh and homemade with the highest quality ingredients that are natural found in nature. The flavors are magnificent and on point, the portions are great and filling. The service is magnificent and lives up to the name happy vegans. Highly recommended for all your vegan tastes buds!!!

Update: They're still never opening at 12. Someone usually gets there after 1, but they're usually JUST getting there and will tell you that you have to wait 15 minutes or more for them to prepare the store and kofteh. Don't get me wrong, the food is worth the wait (it's that good). Management - please change your hours or open on time. This is unacceptable customer service. read more

Had the "Happy Vegan Burger" and it was delicious. Very flavorful and beat part, did not fall apart when I ate it. All ingredients are made in house which is a plus. Also had the "Baklava" pastry, 2 pieces for a fair price and very delicious. Small Cozy spot with decent street parking. read more

Happy Vegans - Happy Chickpea Turmeric Rice and Vegan Cig Kofte Wrap - Vegan Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

I ordered the Happy Chickpea Garlic Rice, Cig Kofte and the Baklava through Grubhub. It came in containers very neatly wrapped in cellophane. The Chickpea rice looked kind of plain, but was tasted great! I ordered a large Cig Kofte, it was way too much for a one person appetizer :) The Baklava looked like it was prepared by a gourmet chief! I support Vegan restaurants every chance I get, but it will be difficult to move on to the next Vegan restaurant, because I will be reordering from here next time I am in town. I highly recommend this place! read more

What are you waiting for? Go give Happy Vegans a try! read more

First time trying Happy Vegans and I definitely left...well...happy. It was later in the evening so the small restaurant was out of some items, so I decided to try the Kofteh wrap on the advice of the worker, Yunus. I can't say enough about it. The portion was huge and the taste was great. Also, left with four servings of baklava. Seriously tasty. Will no doubt go back. On top of the food, Yunus was extremely helpful and very friendly. Good dude. read more

The positives are that the food is generally good and that it is packaged very well/tightly with plastic wrap. The biggest negative is the completely unprofessional way in which this business is run. The hours and offerings are highly variable and seem to depend on the whims and caprice of the owner/staff. If you're thinking of going here, ALWAYS call ahead because they often open late. I was also told, on multiple occasions, that I could not order a kofteh dish (their main offering) because the restaurant was awaiting a delivery. The delivery time is not fixed and typically comes quite late, around 1:00 p.m. It is strange, to say the least, that a place that offers dishes most suitable for lunch does not have things available during the lunch rush hours. I have only ever seen one person working behind the counter. He's a nice enough guy, but seems a bit spaced out and inattentive. He has prepared my food incorrectly at time, omitting ingredients. He does not wear a mask while preparing or serving food and restaurant hygiene here is questionable. Ultimately, this place is able to stay in business because they have some tasty options, there aren't many other vegan spots in the area, and their business model appears to involve keeping costs to a minimum. This place could really be phenomenal if they just got their act together and showed some professionalism. If the owner is reading this, please honor your business hours, ensure most dishes are available when you're open, and talk to your employee about hygiene and professionalism. read more
