    Seitan Buffalo Wings
    Chael M.

    Modern Love is where I'd love to call home. If I'm ever lost, just look first to see if I'm at Modern Love. I love it here. Everything about it. I don't eat meat, so I'm always obsessed with the opportunity to have... EVERYTHING on a menu. Came here on a Friday night, my boyfriend and our 2 friends. One of our friends is gluten free, like super duper gluten free, so we appreciated the added measure that Modern Love cooks every gluten free item in separate fryers. They really assured her about that detail. The layout of the restaurant is sleek and inviting, kind of like open floor plan and communal but dimly lit enough to feel sexy. EVERYTHING on the menu is unbelievable. When I ate meat, one of my fav things were buffalo wings and Modern Love has scratched the itch, folks. The seitan wings are ummm... unreal. GF friends, the cauliflower wings are also 10/10. Don't even get me started on the chicken parm hero. It's actually against the law how good this is. I've been here now 4 times and it is always a hit. Obviously I'll be back :)

    Vegan sausage lasagna
    Kiet L.

    I'm not a full time vegan but I do enjoy a vegan experience. The lasagna was a special and I would've never guessed it was vegan and probably one of the best lasagna dishes I've had. The tomato sauce was robust. The "cheese" matched the texture and taste of real cheese. Definitely would more from the menu if I ever have the opportunity.

    Walnut Brownie

    I'm not vegan, so I don't often eat vegan food, but this meal was really enjoyable! My vegan friend took me here, and I'm so glad she did. I got the fetuccine alfredo, and I honestly have been craving it recently... I need to go back! The sauce was so thick and rich, and the noodles were cooked to al dente perfection. The garlic bread was also delicious, and I appreciated the side arugula salad that balanced out the heaviness of a pasta meal. I also got a glass of their chardonnay, which was so lovely and buttery. My friend and I shared the walnut brownie, which was topped with a scoop of ice cream, and that was such a delicious way to end our meal. I really enjoyed this meal, and even though I'm not vegan myself, I think I will definitely be back!

    Nacho's and mushroom chick'n
    Simone W.

    Have been to this establishment a few evenings and probably will be coming back. Lol The service and staff are always nice and checking in to make sure all is well. The space is nice a bit tight on the table size but it's New York lol not that much space to go around to begin with. So I have my defs that I always get. The nachos! They are tried and true! Please never get rid of those lol. The hot honey chick'n sandwich...delish and the sauce they use...is drool worthy. Always scrapping up the sauce with the side of fries. The kale salad is good as well. They have new items that pop up here and there. Tried the mushroom chick'n once and it was okay imo. If you are in bklyn and are looking for a vegan joint....this is it!

    Passionfruit & Jalapeño Margarita $14 each

    Yes! Tried another popular vegan spot for the first time. Took a couple of friends with me, non vegans but supportive lol We walked in & were digging the nice vibes, interior was cute with dimmed lighting, etc. Drinks were ok though, on the weaker side. Food: two out of the three dishes were so yummy. The third was tasteless, bland, just all around disappointing to be honest. My friend barely ate which made me feel horrible. They really dropped the ball on this dish. Our waitress was pleasant aswell. Enjoy!!

    Great vegan food! We were visiting NY and wanted to find a decent vegan food and we found it at Morden Love! The staff is friendly/informative and have great suggestions. Honestly the tofu chicken sandwich stood out as a must have and we were not wrong! The sandwich is crispy not overly greasy and the slaw is delicious. I would highly suggest only having the sandwich in the restaurant because the slaw can get the bun a little soggy and you do not want to miss the flavors with a texture issue. We also tried the Brussels sprouts, amazing, really great flavor and perfectly cooked. We finalized our meal with two scoops of ice cream- peanut butter and strawberry great texture and flavor. Ambiance was relaxed and the restaurant was clean (including the bathroom). Overall if you are a local or looking for a great vegan spot when you are in town I highly suggest stopping by and trying it out. We would have gone back if we had more time!

    Hot Honee Chickn
    Lucia P.

    Was craving vegan food while visiting Brooklyn and Modern Love BK came up. After reading the menu I knew I wanted to try it out! We arrived and were sat by staff. They were kind and attentive. To start we ordered a sour beer and the brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were SO good. The flavor was delicious, and they were perfectly cooked. We then ordered the hot honee chick'n which was a crispy tofu sandwich that came with their house made hot honee and fries. Wow! The sandwich are fries were so tasty! It was a generous portion. The tofu was beautifully crispy. Amazing texture and flavor. The fries were so fresh and good. Very impressed by this sandwich. For a sweet treat, we ordered their home made ice cream - a scoop of peanut butter ice cream and a scoop of strawberry topped with coconut whipped cream. The peanut butter scoop was so good and creamy. The strawberry was refreshing but a little hard to eat as the fresh strawberries were really frozen. The coconut whipped cream was so creamy and a great addition to the ice cream. Really enjoyed the food and ambiance at Modern Love!

    Food was bomb. Ambiance was great! The service was great and the staff had spot on recommendations. Would definitely recommend and go again

    Tofu Rancheros
    Virginia D.

    VEGAN REVIEW Came here for brunch with my omni daughter & sister 11am Sunday- it was pretty empty. We were surprised! Had the tofu rancheros- yum! Also split waffles for the table. Everything was delicious. No espresso drinks, just drip coffee. Love the music & decor. Friendly service.

    Walnut Brownie
    David V.

    Ordered for delivery, and it was really good. The Mac with cashew cheese has a nice taste and texture to it - it's topped with buffalo cauliflower, pretty good, a little too vinegary for me. The cauliflower was cooked nicely though. Had the walnut brownie for dessert, definitely worth it. Very good chocolate flavor and it's chewy. Will be ordering again!

    We grabbed takeaway Saturday evening. This was my first experience ordering from this vegan restaurant and I was somewhat satisfied. The ceasar salad was fresh greens and overdose of croutons, nothing a stand out. The nachos were much more flavorful with alot of pico pickled onions and jalapeño. I really didn't enjoy the Seiten wings the texture was very gummy and the wings needed more sauce. If I find myself in the area again I would be willing to dine in and try other items because the food was fresh and the takeaway order was prepared on time.

    Shrooms and Grits
    Danielle K.

    My boyfriend and I were spending the day in Brooklyn and planned a brunch at Modern Love. While we visit NYC periodically, we don't get to Brooklyn very often. Modern Love is the brainchild of vegan cookbook author Isa Chandra Moskowitz, and on this visit, I saw two of her cookbooks for sale (but I have enough cookbooks I don't use to be buying more). Modern Love Brooklyn has a slightly punk ambiance, with many of the servers rocking funky-colored hair (just like me). I love talking with servers about great restaurants, especially when I'm visiting a city, because I can talk about food for hours. Our brunch strategy is to order one sweet dish and one savory dish and split them between us. We got the seitan and waffles and the Shrooms and Grits. I was a bit nervous, as I've never had a really good experience with grits before, but these were flavored just right, with a great texture, and the mushrooms were delightful. The sauce was described as spicy cherry tomato, but I didn't find it spicy at all. And I am really nervous about spicy food. The seitan and waffles on the other hand, well, it's hard to get seitan right sometimes. I think it needs to be cut thin to get any flavor out of it, and most of the seitan slabs I've had are just too thick. So I don't know that I'd get a seitan dish there, but there are plenty of tasty-looking dishes I might try should I go back.

    Hot Honee Chickn

    I've visited Modern Love Brooklyn twice and had amazing experiences both times! Once with a vegan person and another with someone extremely lactose intolerant. Although I'm not vegan the restaurant handled my own allergic dietary needs with great care. The food was absolutely delicious - full of flavor and beautifully presented. I've recommended this place to many people and will definitely return. Their attention to allergies and the kindness of the staff truly stand out. Highly recommend!

    This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

    Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
