    Collard Greens (7/10)
    Meryam A.

    We came here super last minute after a comedy show with a big group and got there around 10:45 PM. Just a heads up, their kitchen does last call at 11:30 PM. The place was packed but honestly they handled it pretty well and were able to split us up and get us seated not too long after. I got the OG Superiority burger (it has walnuts which we learned that the hard way because my husband's allergic) so he switched to the collard greens sandwich for him. My burger was actually really good, like 8/10. I genuinely couldn't believe it was vegan. My husband liked his collard greens sandwich and gave it a 7/10. I tried it too and it was good, just not really my thing. But my friends, the fries are perfectly crispy! My friends had hyped this place up a lot, but they felt like it wasn't as consistent this time. Overall I enjoyed it, but I'm not gonna lie... it still hasn't topped by number one Butter Smashburger.

    was quite doubtful i would enjoy dining here but the food blew me away. ive been to a decent amount of vegan restaurants in the city and have always found imitation food to be silly. got the yuba-verde which to be honest didnt sound appealing on paper but one bite and i could tell this was a beautiful combination of flavor and texture that i could never have imagined. fries are thick cut but fried thoroughly and perfectly crispy too.

    I've long been a fan of Superiority Burger, starting at their other smaller location on East 9th and now at their spot in the old Odessa Diner space. Favorites include the namesake Superiority Burger (with their excellently seasoned and fried French Fries), also love the TFT Fried Tofu Sandwich, and the Bean side dish. We also tried the "egg" scramble breakfast sandwich which was also good. Well made drinks from the bar, and their house sodas are always tasty. Service is solid and always a great music selection.

    Look, I like this place. I really do. Everything we ate this past visit was good, and I mean everything: The namesake burger The fries The parsnip special The date shake The burnt broccoli salad The rancho gordo beans The collard greens sandwich I liked it all. Especially the beans and the broccoli. The vibe is always excellent; it's like a punk rock diner. I loved Paddy, the fittingly punk rock bartender in the back who makes a mean martini. Our waitress (didn't catch her name) was cool, and helpful, and funny. I'm glad I came with my plant-based friends, because we had a good time. But the burger is $22 now (it was $13 a couple years back). The collard sandwich is $25. The beans were $22. These were all too small to call a meal, and if a $22 burger isn't a full meal, I feel like something is broken. Yeah, I'd come back and do it again, but it wouldn't be my first choice burger-wise, or wallet-wise.

    This spot was easily in the Top 3 meals I had on my last trip to NYC! I still can't figure out how a vegan place can taste this good, but seriously, everything was absolutely amazing. Major credit goes to the locals who introduced me to this restaurant and, more importantly, took charge and ordered for the table! Every single dish was incredible, showcasing flavors that were completely new and exciting. I wish I could remember the specific names of the dishes, but the plates were works of art. My photos will definitely be my guide if I'm lucky enough to visit NYC again!

    The worst tofu sandwich I ever had was at summer camp: an impromptu slab of grilled tofu slathered with mustard over a bun, prepared when I told the inexperienced chef that I was vegetarian. The tofu sandwich at Superiority Burger is certainly an improvement, but it still does employ mustard. After undergoing a lengthy marination, the briney tofu is deep fried to give the texture of a chicken sandwich. It's a hefty, decadent affair, although I wish just a bit of the tofu's naturally soft texture had been preserved in the cutlet's interior. My favorite bite of the evening was actually the Marcella beans with escarole and focaccia. It was like a deconstructed, improved ribolita.

    I discovered Superiority Burger upon attending a birthday celebration and was pleasantly surprised from appetizers through entrees. The vegetable dishes were absolutely delectable, with enough spicy options and substantial umami components to consider becoming vegetarian. I had the burger, thinking that it would be the best thing on the limited menu, especially given the name of the restaurant. But trying a bit of other guests' made me second-guess myself. The space was cozy and stylish, low-key and comfortable. I'd consider having my own birthday dinner here next time!

    Really cool restaurant with an interesting concept of all vegetarian and vegan diner type foods. The yuba sandwich was pretty bitter from the broccoli rabe but I did really enjoy it overall. The chickpea was sausage was also super interesting and I think it was overall the most interesting Vega sandwich I've ever had. The ice creams were also pretty good. Overall service was decent and the food was good but it was definitely overpriced.

    Been dying to go here ever since their NYT food review. Managed to snag a reservation for 4 here Friday night. My husband is primarily a vegetarian so it was really nice to sit down somewhere where they can even make most things vegan. The atmosphere is that of an old school dinner but the prices do not match. The food is good and we were all happy with what we got. 3 out 4 of us got the burger and my husband got the TFT. Dang $22 for a burger and fries - woof. Understandably everything is more expensive these days and overall was happy with the dining experience.

    Superiority Burger is worth the hype. The vibe is fun, the food is good, and the staff are friendly. I did find the prices to be high though. Ordered: House salad for two ($19)- this salad was quite large! In fact it was more salad than the two of us wanted and we love salad! It was enjoyable for sure. The carrot ginger dressing was fresh, the focaccia breadcrumbs added a nice crunch and the pickled fennel was a tasty addition, albeit not too strongly flavored. The dressing was so flavorful that by the time we were nearing our last bites we had had enough. Superiority burger ($22)- this burger was delicious. It was one of the better vegetarian burgers I've had for sure! However it was small! I would have ordered a second if it wasn't so pricey. The fries were also delicious. Date shake ($14)- I wasn't sure what I was expecting but the date shake was different, in a positive way! It's vegan. It tasted like coconut with nice small pieces of date to bite into along the way plus a hint of orange zest. Fancy dessert ($17)- I don't know what I was expecting, but this didn't strike me as fancy... it was a square of chocolate cake with a small scoop of ice cream, whipped marshmallow, hot fudge and whipped cream. It was an enjoyable vegan dessert but wasn't memorable or special in my view. Next time I'll try the pearl pie. Overall, my first visit to Superiority Burger was enjoyable and I likely would return! I might order a little differently, such as switching up the dessert, but this is definitely a place to add to your list.

    Super surprised by the mixed reviews. I wasn't expecting much from this place, but a friend recommended we go and honestly it blew me away. I didn't know veggie burgers could be this delicious. We had the collard greens sandwich, superiority burger, and side of broccoli. Everything was so freaking amazing. The ambiance had diner vibes and the service was good. I really enjoyed my meal and would go back in a heartbeat.

    As a meat eater, this spot was on my radar after Pete Wells gave his stamp of approval. Truly the best vegetarian burger I've ever had. A quirky diner spot with so many delicious veggie and vegan options. Not a spot for those with a peanut allergy as everything in the kitchen has touched peanuts per the chef, which was sad for my friend. Service was so friendly! Glad I tried it, but probably will not return as I am not a diner gal usually.

If you didn't know, this is a Mexican restaurant with a full vegan menu. We shared a plate of plantain that came on a delicious later of black bean puree. We also got chips and mango salsa ... That's really a great salsa! For the main course, I decided to get the pescado and al pastor chicken tacos. I have never had the al pastor profile with 'chicken' before, so that was interesting. I enjoyed both tacos, and I think the al pastor was my favorite. I got the churros for the dessert, and the presentation was so cool, but I have to admit I did not love them. They tasted way too fried, if that makes sense. My sister got the chocolate chili tart ... It had stunning presentation, and ... It really was delicious! That would be my first choice next time. This place does brunch and has great cocktails as well. They are more on the expensive side and I would reserve them for special occasions, but I overall enjoyed everything. Highly recommend!

The space itself is calming, with a good ambiance to allow folks to catch up and hear each other. I think it's also no coincidence that this spot is right next to the Bhakti Center as the yogic/ayurveda connection is a quite strong. Price point is also very reasonable with a 3 course meal set at under $50. HOWEVER, big missed opportunity in engaging the clientele and educating more people about dosha types. I expected the waiters to inquire if we're familiar with Ayurvedic principles and or are aware of our dosha type. This could have helped with guiding our choices, being prescriptive without being strict that a kapha can only order kapha meals. The experience was sorely lacking in promoting the whole value prop of an Ayurvedic meal and what makes this place actually special.

For a party if 4 they recommend you order 6-8 dishes to share so that's what we did. We got the artichoke toast, cremini flatbread, risotto, cauliflower and then ordered three items off their "understory" mushroom menu: blue oyster mushroom, hen of the woods and then the emolada. The risotto and blue oyster stole the show for me. The flatbread and toast were also phenomenal. I love mushrooms and the unique way these are prepared and served is just wonderful! I'm so glad I could try it! The inside is like stepping into a fairytale woodland area too. Love the east village too so the area is great and gets lively at night! Our service was so helpful and friendly. So would def recommend.

    I had been looking forward to trying Avant Garden for a long time and chose it for a birthday…read moredinner, so this was especially disappointing. We had a 9:30 reservation on May 9. The reservation email said they would hold the table for 15 minutes, and we arrived at about 9:43 after getting stuck in traffic. We were still within that window, but as soon as we checked in, the host immediately told us the kitchen was closing in one minute and that the bar would close in about 20 minutes, so we needed to place our food order right away. It made the meal feel rushed from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was virtually empty, but we were seated directly next to the bathroom. There were clearly plenty of other seating options available, which made that choice even more frustrating. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable bathroom odor from our table, which was really unpleasant and not what I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. Servers were also constantly going back and forth between the dining room and what seemed to be either a storage or cleaning area near the bathroom, so in addition to the odor, there was steady foot traffic throughout the meal. There were also papers or sugar packets underneath the table next to us, which added to the feeling that the dining room was not being carefully maintained. We ordered the paella, fig toast, and Calabrian flatbread. The food itself was fine in terms of flavor, but the rest of the experience made it feel understated and much less enjoyable than it should have been. The paella and toast came out quickly, and then we waited about 45 minutes for the flatbread. During that time, no one checked in, explained the delay, or asked how anything was. We honestly thought the flatbread had been forgotten. Then, after that long wait, the flatbread and dessert were brought out almost at the same time. The server explained that the kitchen was telling them to bring everything out at once. We had also ordered a bottle of Lambrusco, but it was not available, so we were given a different wine instead. Overall, the pacing and service felt very disorganized. We were rushed to order immediately, then largely ignored for the rest of the meal. No one asked how the food was, no one checked on the delay, and the timing of the final dishes made the meal feel chaotic rather than enjoyable. Even though the food was fine, the experience around it really took away from the meal. I also think there is a practical issue with the reservation timing. If the kitchen closes 15 minutes after the last available reservation, it does not make sense to offer a 15-minute grace period. Either the final seating should be earlier, or the kitchen should remain open long enough to properly serve guests who arrive within the stated reservation window. For a restaurant with Avant Garden's reputation and price point, I expected a much more thoughtful and polished experience. I wanted this to be a special birthday dinner, but we left feeling disappointed. I don't feel eager to return, and based on this visit, I would have a hard time recommending it to vegan friends.
