    Chick'n mushroom burger
    Rebecca P.

    Stopped in an tried the Chick'n mushroom burger and it was delicious! These mushroom burgers can be hard to nail but it was seasoned well and not too oily. The bun was great and the tomato and lettuce add the needed freshness. There is a lot of seating here and the staff are very friendly. Would definitely recommend stopping in!

    This spot is conveniently located on Flatbush Ave and has ample seating. We were able to get a table but it seemed busy with delivery orders. Someone did greet us and after a short wait, our orders were taken. There may have been a mix up but we had a long wait before we got our food. But it was really satisfying once it was in front of me. Seasoned well, gingery, overall a good meal. I also got a mango drink which was delicious and a good contrast to the meal. Worth a visit.

    Chick'n Drumsticks

    Can we say amazing ... I ordered chickn, french fries, lentil patty and guava juice. Chickn was so good and fresh. The texture is similar to the real deal. Had it with bbq sauce and it hit the spot. My toddler loved it and thought it was real drumsticks. Fries were good and fresh Lentil patty was amazing. The crush the filling just tasty. Guava juice is good I added a little bit of water because it was to thick but that's just me. Service was good. The lady at the register was friendly and answered my questions about the menu. Ambiance is cool, very cute restaurant with chill vibes. You can seat and dine in. Overall just go and buy the food

    Poor quality food and place is dirty. Meals are just frozen food heated up. Expensive for what you get. Go elsewhere

    We finally made it to Modern Love. It's been on my list for years now because Isa Chandra is like…read morethe OG vegan chef. We happened to get there during brunch for our first visit, which was great because it was a mix of both lunch and breakfast options. We split one main dish from each part of the menu. The Tofu Benedict was the best Benedict I've ever eaten IN MY LIFE, and also top three best breakfasts I've ever had. The smoked tomato is what makes that dish extra special. The rosemary home fries on the side were also incredible and I'm really picky when it comes to potatoes. We also split the Chickpea Parm sandwich but I was so full that I ended up taking a majority of my half sandwich home. Which was perfect because it was even better cold! The Italian flavors mixed with the savory chickpea patty and the bitter greens was just perfect. The only thing that wasn't great (not docking any stars for this) was dessert. We ordered the Strawberry "Tiramisu." I'm putting Tiramisu in quotes because I detected no espresso and no cinnamon. It was super bland. I let my husband eat most of it. Would not order that again. I am looking forward to returning! The wait staff were really friendly, the ambiance was super pretty, and food came out super fast and hot. Perfection.

The menu is stacked--sandwiches, hearty apps, macs, and cozy entrees that make you forget you're eating vegan. During my visit, they were running a Reuben sandwich special that seriously tempted me, but I went with the oyster mushroom calamari, and wow, the seasoning was spot on, and it could easily fool a seafood lover. My friend tried the seitan wings and was really impressed, even though he's usually not into mock meats. They came with super flavorful sauces and were definitely shareable. He also had the smash burger, which was a total win--savory, satisfying, and gave big diner vibes. We heard the milkshakes are amazing too, but we were too full to fit them in. Next time, for sure. Only downside? The service was on the slow side--we waited over 30 minutes between apps and mains. It's a popular spot, so some delay is understandable, but it was noticeable. Overall, I loved it and can't wait to go back with an emptier stomach and room for dessert.

I was a little disappointed to see the skirt steak from my first visit was no longer available, but that quickly disappeared once I tried the mofongo. The mofongo had bits of tempeh bacon mixed throughout and was topped with oyster mushrooms. The plantain was sweeter than the traditional green plantain mash I'm used to, but I actually loved that twist. The oyster mushrooms were seasoned so well they reminded me of chicharrón, while the tempeh bacon added the smoky, savory element that mofongo traditionally gets from pork cracklings. What really tied the dish together was the creamy coconut curry, which gave it a delicious Caribbean-inspired twist. The entire dish was creative, comforting, and incredibly flavorful. I'll definitely be back again soon.

I did wait about five minutes before someone greeted me. The restaurant wasn't busy, but it looked like the servers were also handling hosting duties. One was bringing food to a table while the other was closing out a check. Once someone was available, I was seated by a very friendly hostess. I ordered the chimichurri steak, and it was excellent. It was easily my favorite part of the meal, and I'd definitely order it again. The person I was with ordered the curry goat and substituted the roti for beans and rice. They really enjoyed it, but we both felt the portion was too small for the price. The quality was there, but I do think the serving could be a bit more generous. We also ordered an appetizer that disappeared almost as soon as it hit the table because it was so good. I also had the Island Onigiri, which I really enjoyed, along with a passion fruit drink that paired well with the meal. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The only small thing I noticed was that the restaurant was a bit chilly, and I felt like my food cooled down pretty quickly because of it.  The music was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and overall I had a really good experience. There are still quite a few things on the menu I want to try, so I'll definitely be back and will update this review after another visit.

Everything in the platter was amazing - super flavorful and hearty. - Spiced Mac and Cheese --If you told me this Mac and Cheese was dairy free I would think you are trying to pull a fast one.

I can prove my Haitian ethnicity by cooking traditional dishes. The legume was on point! That dish was my favorite. My friend truly enjoyed her salmon. Honestly, I wish I had gotten the salmon to take home instead of the Haitian fried chicken. Now, that wasn't that great to me, and I didn't enjoy it :( I'm still giving them all the stars and all the props because I really appreciated the service. This was my first time trying a Haitian patty with spinach, and it was absolutely fantastic. I think it's even better than the chickpea one. I would definitely highly recommend this place and also go back. But the Haitian fried chicken need to be better. Still, I'll definitely come again and try the salmon next time!!!

I ordered the vegan platter whose black beans were smooth and piping hot, alongside the crispy fried tostones and meaty vegan meatballs.

The white rice was also extremely fluffy and moist and judging by the diligent rice-washing that was taking place behind the counter as we ate, I could tell that the staff really works hard to make it not just an afterthought, but a quality addition to the meal. My sister also really enjoyed her shrimp plate while my husband devoured his half-chicken platter. The sauces on our platters were also extremely flavorful, complementing the proteins in a beautiful way. All of us left Lakou Cafe feeling happy and satisfied with the portion sizes and level of quality. 10/10 I will definitely be heading back to this place the next time I'm in Brooklyn!

I'm nowhere close to being a vegan, but when a friend invited me out to try the food here I jumped at the opportunity to try something new. The best bang for your buck is if you're dining during happy hour, where the pricing of the dishes becomes much more reasonable. This also allows you to try more dishes, which is always a win for me! While we ordered a lot, there wasn't anything I disliked. The flavors of each dish were so unique, and to a meat/dairy eater, you definitely couldn't tell it was vegan. My favorite had to be the crispy mushroom hand roll (reminded me of a spider roll) along with the spicy lumaconi pasta (creamy and vibrant without feeling heavy!) Also for someone who is not a fan of pumpkin, the pumpkin cheesecake definitely took me by surprise. This definitely was a seasonal special, but I cannot stop raving about this to everyone I know & so wish it was on the menu all year round! Everything about the experience here was amazing. The servers were attentive, explaining every aspect of the menu and constantly checking in to see if there was anything they could do to make the dining experience better.
