I had the hellfire wrap, which is vegan chicken and bacon with a spicy mayo and some crunchy vegetables in a flour tortilla. It's about as good as what you can get at a regular deli - the mayonnaise especially was pretty convincing. The wrap came to $15, which is a bit pricey, but that's probably expected. There's a very small amount of seating, so takeout is a better option, and I honestly found that the wrap tasted better after a night resting in the fridge, which allowed the flavors to come together a bit. read more

this place has been on my list forever and i should've come way sooner- i got the kitana which was a daily special and it was delicious!! the tofu ricotta and peach salsa on the sandwich were to die for. not to mention the workers were soooo nice and they have a loyalty punch card which i feel like is becoming a lost art... if you grab a sandwich to go from here and then eat it at maria hernandez down the street i promise u will have the best day ever read more

I was eager to try Seitan's Helper from the first time I heard about it, so when I was in Bushwick for the day I knew I had to stop by. It's a small shop with no seating (or AC - beware, it gets HOT in there) so plan on taking your sandwich to go. The large menu is a welcome sight to any vegetarians or vegans used to having only one or two options at restaurants. Each sandwich is unique and they are different enough from each other that I'd like to come back and try something new. Service was extremely friendly and we were offered as many samples of any kind of plant-based meat as we wanted. I ordered the Evil Twin and was pretty happy with my choice. The plant-based roast beef was tasty and more satisfying than most meat alternatives. My biggest complaint would be the amount of red cabbage on the sandwich. It was a good topping, but the sheer volume sort of dwarfed some of the other flavors. However, the quality of the sandwich, helpful service, and variety of menu options are certainly enough to bring me back eventually. read more

I went for my go to sandwich the triple threat which is a combo of seitan mortadella, salami, and pepperoni all of which is made in house and is available for purchase. I also purchased their garlic potato rosemary soup which I honestly will probably comeback again tomorrow for since it was just that good. I hadn't been back in a while and I'm glad to see that they offer indoor seating now. The team is always friendly and hospitable. For the holidays, they make charcuterie and have seitan roasts. A little out of the way for me, but a must visit when I'm nearby. read more

Seitan's Helper has an awesome thing going on. It's a vegan deli, with all its meats made from seitan, in-house, from scratch with cheeky names for its sandwiches like Evil Twin and The Omen. And they are delish! Had the BEC from their standard menu which comes with their chickpea nomelette with maple bacon and red pepper jam on a potato onion roll. Also tried The Creature from their specialty menu made with grilled chik'n and red peppers, cashew mozzarella, olive tapenade, and chimi churri sauce on focaccia. These sandos do not skimp on flavor. Like the place, they burst with personality. Can't recommend Seitan's Helper enough. It made my day. read more

These are the best sandwiches I have ever had, hands down. Truly incredible - loved the spellman

Amazing sandwiches and the best vegan thanksgiving meal. Service is great. I've ordered both online and in-person. Ambiance is a cute mellow vegan deli. Nowhere to really sit and dine in; this is more of a takeaway spot--like most delis. My favorite sandwich is the Triple Threat. Can't get over how good the Thxgiving meal is. Yum! read more

Great vegan deli. The Triple Threat (Italian sandwich) ruled. Perfect flavor balance. Fresh. 10/10. I bought a bunch of slices to go to make this sandwich at home. The macaroni salad was great. And the people working there were friendly and helpful. Can't recommend it enough. I wish this place was in my town. read more

AMAZING! Tried Seitan's Helper for the first time today and was so impressed. Our local vegan restaurant closed and we decided to give them a shot, despite being one borough over. The sandwiches were super good, tasty and a good size. Very much recommended! We got the Chickie Ceasar Wrap and the Triple Threat. read more

I love this place! Their customer service should be in a textbook. I am so grateful for how patient and friendly they were with my father, was in a vegan restaurant for the first time and understandably confused. The sandwiches have great portions, and taste incredible. I'll be back. read more

Excellent vegan deli sandwiches. Parking is street parking but the sandwiches are worth looking for parking! They have a few chairs to dine in but felt more like a take out spot. Sandwiches are flavorful and STUFFED! Recommend the triple threat and sexy devil! read more

Seitan's Helper has some of the best plant-based sandwiches I've ever had. Each bite is packed with flavor and the perfect texture and everything is made from scratch. The couple who runs this place are simply amazing. Their passion for what they do shines through in every sandwich they make, and their warm, friendly service makes you feel right at home. Best sandwich shop on earth! read more

Really enjoyed the food here. The staff (probably owners?) we're friendly and helpful. My patter is gluten free so going to a seitan shop can be tricky. Both the Free Seitan gluten free dish and the Triple Threat were excellent. The sandwich is huge so I have dinner too. Thanks for such a fun and creative lunch. read more

Best sandwich place hands down! Love Amanda and Cheyanne, they are both so sweet, helpful and creative. My personal favorite is the Triple Threat (a classic italian hero). Make sure to try their special sandwiches, they always mind-blowing! The house-made seitan is the best you can get. Enjoy!!! read more

This place RULES! Super friendly staff who gave some excellent recommendations for a first timer like me, but I totally rocked a Lemon Boo Boo. Deep fried seitan culet, smothered in lemon gravy, deep friend potato slices, and sautéed spinach all on a glorious roll. If you're looking for a hearty veg sammie off the Morgan L stop, get your ass to Seitan's Helper and warship some seitan read more

Great little vegan deli! They were very nice and accommodating. I ordered the triple threat and it was awesome!

Stumbled upon this place and just happened upon the BEST sandwich of my life. The person who made the food was so sweet and friendly. They make all their vegan meats in house, and after years of searching I have finally had the pleasure to taste vegan salami and it was glorious. I cannot recommend this place enough-- it's an hour and a half from where I live but it's going to become a regular destination for me nonetheless. A friend and I split the buffalo sandwich (cannot remember the specific name), and the triple threat. The buffalo was AMAZING but the triple threat I swear to god is the perfect sandwich. I can die happy. read more

Food is delicious, fresh, and great portions. Staff is super friendly and accommodating around food restrictions. Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

I am so glad that this place is far from where I live, but I am also sad that this place is far from where I live. Every time I order from this place it's a hit. The first time I ordered from this place it was The Triple Threat and it was absolutely delicious. Today, I had the Evil Twin and it was just a delicious. The staff is also very friendly. I highly recommend. read more

Run don't walk! This is one of New York's best (vegan) eateries. Italian deli might be my favorite (so far) Get a side salad if available - macaroni, potato, or otherwise! read more

friendly staff and amazing sandwiches!!! lots of flavor and made with love i recommend the saint sandwich

*Delayed review from Thanksgiving 2021* Love, love, love, this place!! They make amazing, savory vegan sandwiches. I called in a pick up order the other day and spoke to a nice gentleman. He recommended the BEC, which I got along with the Thanks Seitan sandwich and Evil Twin. I enjoyed every morsel of BEC sandwich from the deli meat, toppings, down to the bread. Its packed with 'bacon', chickpea nomelette, Violife cheddar, roasted red pepper jam, and spicy mayo on a potato onion roll. *chefs kiss* I shared the Thanks Seitan sandwich (seasonal special) with my sister. It was very different and hearty but just as delicious. It was packed with spicy turkey stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce and cheese in a focaccia hero. Yum, yum, yum! Literally Thanksgiving in a form of a sandwich. My brother, a die-hard carnivore, enjoyed the Evil Twin, claiming it was unique and that he wouldn't mind getting it again. How this place differs from the rest is the flavor, portion size, and price. Its packed with unique ingredients that are flavorful and tasteful that leaves you full. The word bland literally does not exist here. The portions are good and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood but be prepared to wait (better to call ahead). I also recommend following them on IG to get daily updates on specials. read more

This place is the BEST. I've been vegan for over 6 years and have tried my far share of vegan sandwiches and these are by far the best. Me and a friend split the bacon mac, chicken Caesar wrap, and the evil twin sandwich. The evil twin sandwich was my favorite but all three were really delicious. The pricing is incredibly reasonable and the food is great quality. I live across the country but can't wait to visit again so I can find here! read more

Visited Seitan's Helper for the first time Saturday 1/6 at the recommendation of Brit and Hannah over at Yough for somewhere with delicious Vegan eats - and my goodness was it BUSY! We had a Bacon, Egg and Cheese (BEC) and a Rito wrap which were DELICIOUS! What I also found so heartwarming is that Amanda and Cheyenne (who I guess are the owners?) were having a playfully sweet time making the food AND knew most of their customers BY NAME!! (Before they ordered, I should add). I love that so much!! Definitely recommend to anyone, but especially if you are vegan or vegetarian! Like me, you will be coming back ^__^ read more

Excellent food and excellent people. I loved everything I had, and wish I lived closer to have more sandwiches! I'll definitely make the trek back! read more

I always loved delis before going vegan but they're definitely not the most vegan friendly, but I don't need to worry because there's Seitans Helper! I've never had apple slices on a sandwich but I'm happy I've experienced it now, all of their food is creative and delicious and I'm excited to go back when I'm in the area again. Also very friendly staff! read more

What a treat! A very special Thanksgiving Dinner from Seitan's Helper made for a memorable day. Such hard working staff. Thank you!

If you want a brekkie or lunch sammie this is the place to go. The staff at the counter are the nicest people on earth and will wish you a beautiful day and you will have one as soon as your take your first bite :) loved the BEC. All vegan and made with love read more

Outstanding food. Outstanding customer service. And a great name! I'm not even vegan but I appreciate everything that goes into this food. Had two sandwiches (friends that split sandwiches stay friends) , one was a vegan Italian-style sandwich, the other was a spicy melty piece of heaven. No notes. Keep doing your thing! read more

AMAZING! This is my favorite vegan deli in NYC. The food is always fresh, tasty, and the flavors are on point. There is a large variety of sandwiches, and I am trying to make my way through all of them. I love that all the "meat" is made-in-house and not processed or brought-in. I've also ordered their meats by the pound to make sandwiches at home, and the flavors are just out of this world. Idk how they do it. I even fooled a few meat eating friends with their sandwiches. Also, the entire team is so nice and helpful. We ordered some thanksgiving items from Seitan's helper and were given awesome instructions on how to prep and warm up the items. Can't wait for my next trip to Bushwick! read more

That sandwich was amazing. I ordered the "Triple Threat" sandwich and it had stacks of vegan pepperoni, salami, and mortadella. It was dressed up with vegan chedder, peppers, red onions, greens, mayo, and vinaigrette on a hero with perfect conistency. There was an explosion of flavor with each bite. It's unusual for a sandwich to knock my socks off, but here we are. Too hungry to have taken any photos. Can't wait to try the other sammies here and their baked goods once the oven is fixed. I also liked the fact that once I paid with my credit card, I didn't have to interact with a screen interface like Square which makes you feel compelled to tip. There is a tip jar for those who are inclined to do so. The two people working there were lovely and kind. read more
