Delish food, great service, amazing atmosphere. All their food is cooked with love and you can taste it. Been here so many times and it's a favorite. My favorite time is lunch time at Tula's. Also try their vegan chocolate cupcake! read more

Food was great and large portions too! Me and my friends are a mix of vegAns vegetarian and meat eaters so it was perfect for all of us and we were all able to get our fix. The cocktails were for sure unique but it just added to the experience. The food was a good mix of Mediterranean with a hint of spice. Overall great atmosphere and great restaurant! read more

Tula Kitchen - Vegan Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

I came here for my birthday for the first time. It was outstanding! We started off with drinks. I ordered pin-ya-colata (they spell it their own way :) it was very good it was like a pina colada with a little kick. Food - we started with platter of humus, tizitki sauce, spinach Croissants and pita bread with Greek salad. A great appetizer but enough for 2/3 people. Amazing! Then I ordered a breakfast burrito that came with sweet and regular potatoes... sooo delicious. My wife order a chicken bowl which had kale, garbanzos, chicken and pita bread she said it was fire! Lol. Another round of drinks. Then coffee which was sooo good see pic below and Rico suave brownie with ice cream with a candle. I couldn't feel more spoiled. The atmosphere was elegant and the owner was soo nice. I loved it. Great service and great music too. Treat yourself come here! read more

What not to say about this spectacular restaurant. My favorite spot to eat. The food is so delicious and the staff is wonderful. Best vegan restaurant ever. read more

Tulas is usually my favorite place to be! Recently got an Asian noodle salad for takeout, and was super disappointed to find this when I got home and opened it up! A small salad, bland, with a handful of noodles thrown on top and dressing on the size. Truly a disappointment that I paid $19 for this, without any protein added. Definitely be aware of food you get for takeout! read more

Tula Kitchen - Vegan Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

I chose the quinoa bowl and it was AMAZING, FRESH and FLAVORFUL. This is my new favorite restaurant.

I always find something amazing to get here. I'm a vegetarian, so at most restaurants my options are limited to sides and salads, but Tulas has the most delicious vegan/vegetarian food! read more

Honestly whenever I did come to this establishment the General Manager Anthony would always visit our table as well as others to do a table check to make sure we were having an excellent experience, and we did. As a restaurant manager myself, I applaud this action and care when it comes to service industry. However, recently we have come back and we're informed that he has moved on to greater opportunities, which we also support, but have noticed that the quality of service and quality of food as well as an over all experience has diminished entirely within a smattering of days. We are frequent visitors and enjoy food and quality service outside of our own restaurant because we want to get away from our own business here and there when we can. Our passed three visits have been less than sub-par. As much as we love and support Anthony's personal growth in service industry business, we have been treated completely different in a negative experience without his presence and amazing leadership with his staff. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Always have great experiences here, whether for lunch or dinner. Vegan and non-vegan options are fire, especially the vegan reuben. Highly recommend. read more

What a wonderful surprise in Bayshore! Had a leisurely lunch here with my old college roommate and was delighted with this pretty restaurant and it's healthy delicious food. I had the Greek Bowl and my friend had the stuffed avocado. Both were fresh, bright , delicious and satisfying on a hot summer day. I will definitely be back with my husband and group of gal pals! read more

Let me start off by saying that I understand all of the 5 star reviews because it is rare to find a restaurant with so many vegan/ gluten free options. That being said, I came here with my family of seven (who is used to going to many steakhouses) for a celebration for my sister who is vegan. My dad wanted a simple change on his meal but the waitress was not understanding, so he said he would just have two different entrees and pick off what he wants, and bag the rest. easy. Still confused, the waitress walked away and said OUT LOUD "well that was awkward," and proceeded to take the rest of our orders. She could clearly see that we basically had no knowledge of "common" vegan foods, yet still had a rude attitude towards anyone who had any confusion to the menu. She was very judgmental to a group that could have been impressed with trying new foods. The food was okay. The waitress came back to take our dessert orders. When she came with the check she announced it to my dad by saying "well I guess you're the one in charge" and placed it on the table. Not only was the waitress incredibly rude, A MAN WALKED OUT OF THE KITCHEN WITH A DOG. This place doesn't even have meat or any kind of pork in the kitchen, YET ALLOWS A MAN HOLDING A DOG TO WALK IN. It also was not hidden, anyone sitting in the restaurant could see it. Pretty disgusting and absolutely not acceptable in a RESTAURANT. After the disgusting attitude of the waitress, I would still consider telling my vegan friends to try this place out, but after seeing a dog come out of the kitchen, I will NEVER be returning and do not advise anyone else to. read more

We went to this restaurant on a whim a couple of nights ago and fell in love. The ambiance and the food were nothing short of amazing. We were told that there would be a bit of a wait for a table so we decided to grab a couple drinks at the back bar. We enjoyed the company of the bartender Zach so much that we ended up not taking the table to have our dinner at the bar (something we typically refrain from doing). He really made the experience that much better with his jokes and conversation and he also makes a delicious fig martini. We can't wait to go back as it makes for a perfect date night. Word of advice, when you read the menu everything looks super healthy and light in description but the portions are big and very filling. Needless to say we had awesome leftovers for lunch the next day. read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant in the area. Love Tula's! The atmosphere is great, the owner and staff are great, the food and drinks excellent! Interesting mixed drinks, delicious healthy food choices, amazing desserts if you still have room. A bit pricey, $$ but always a home run! read more

Best salads!! They are delicious and huge so you can share or take home for a second meal. Great customer service.

Not too sure where to begin here. The place is unique, interesting, and great service. The portions are rather HUGE, which, I guess isn't a bad thing, given that the prices are...well pricy - for dinner. Nice wine selection, and great options to save some money if you want to drink lightly or heavily. The hummus and pita was good, but I will say that the free pita with black bean corn salsa was a bit better. The free pita and black bean came a bit late, giving me and my friend thinking we should order an appatizer with some pita bread, which the waitress recommended, meanwhile a pita *free* dish was just moments away from reaching our table. Felt a bit trapped in getting an appetizer. The dinner was beautiful on the plate. Nice design and food setup. I got the Vegan and Gluten Free Temph Ruben, which, was awesome. Nice slaw too, and pickle. All in all a great place. Just. Pricy for what it is. read more

Lovely experience here. The decor is a beautiful Mediterranean theme full of colors and pieces found all over the region. The staff was very helpful and attentive. I ordered the mediterranean lunch spread and I loved everything about it (hummus, spinach pie, greek salad, pita bread) except the tzatziki. I love greek fare and unfortunately found the sauce to be more like a prepackaged white liqui cheese with some herbs added in. My friend's vegan reuben was also tasty. I would surely come back and recommend to friends. read more

Hands down, the best place to eat for omnivores/vegans on Long Island. We have both in our family and everyone is happy when we go. The decor is warm and kitschy, drinks are fantastic. Service is always good. The lentil loaf is amazing! read more

Anthony is the sweetest host ever ! Matthew is a very kind server and even your buser I didn't get his name is wonderful! I will be back ! Thank you for being great ! read more

It's alittle pricy. However being a new vegan, it was a great twist to different plates. I must confess the lentil burger was outstanding. The taco spread is huge. read more

All around a fantastic experience. The ambiance at the bar was terrific, the food just right, the bartender was nice. I highly recommend!!

I've been here twice - well, one and a half times, technically. The first time the food was so good, the second time they were busy and we didn't have a reservation and they were soooo rude to me about it that I left and haven't gone back. I'd love to eat there again because it's seriously so good but I'm scared to go back and get embarrassed again. So unless someone else asks me to and makes the reservations, I probably won't go back. Giving it a three because again the food was really good, and I don't know maybe the hostess was having a bad day but it was enough that I left feeling pretty humiliated. read more

Just went here on a Thursday morning. 1 person serving tables. No one else in sight. Lady was very pissed off when we came in. She kept telling us she will get to us when she can. 10 minutes later brought us water and menus and said again I'll be back when I can get to you. We decided at this point we did not want this lady serving us and got up and left. Very disappointed. read more

Tula kitchen has great vegan and seafood options. The scallops and seafood pasta are delicious!! Their peanut butter iced pudding is amazing, and I'm usually not a huge pb fan. Minus one star for pricing. We paid 11 dollars for a flight of cupcakes that were sooo tiny. Smaller than baked by Melissa sizes and you only got 3 for 11 dollars which is ridiculous. read more

Tula Kitchen - Tinyyy cupcakes (my husband's wedding band is on the container for size reference) - Vegan Near Me - Bay Shore, New York

Awesome place for coffee and breakfast. Outside eating option. Wonderful service and food. We'll be back!

Amazing food! I had shrimp pasta! So good! The servers are so nice and it's such a nice environment. I had a brownie ice cream dessert and it was amazing. I definitely recommend tula! So nice warm and welcoming!! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Long Island. I always order the spinach pie appetizer that's served with the tzatziki sauce, the seared organic seitan in peanut and coconut Thai sauce, and the 'earth-moving dream bar' which is a praline shortbread with coconut (I get it a la mode!). The staff is very nice and enjoyable. Please be sure to order their pear cider! read more

Cute atmosphere and interesting and tasty dishes. We ordered the stuffed avocado, pizza appetizer, veggie meatballs and a chicken dish. My husband has celiac disease and I am a vegetarian -- this place made dining so enjoyable and easy for both of us. We had so many choices. Everything was absolutely delicious. Will be back! read more

I want to love this place but just don't get the hype. Yes it's cute but that's about it. I've been here twice now for lunch & leave disappointed that the food isn't better for the price. This time I ordered the Greek Bowl. Basically it came out as a tiny bowl of Romaine lettuce, a few grape tomatoes, olives, a couple of cucumbers & tasteless dry ground turkey topped with tzatziki sauce & a mound of pita bread. It should be named Boring $15 Cup of Salad. I was wishing I had lunch somewhere else. That's it, not coming back. There are so many better places to eat nearby. read more

Eclectic atmosphere, great bartender and waitress (Ellen) was amazing. The food was good and different. Not like many other places. I'm not vegan so this place was scary at first but once I got the menu I was highly impressed. I had the tuna steak, my wife had the turkey bowl, and the other couple had the shrimp pasta. All were delicious. Can't complain much, but the prices are a little expensive. You get what you paid for. read more

Tula's is a very safe restaurant to go to. They have options for everyone, including vegan. But it's not particularly enjoyable or delicious. We had a table of six, ordering both vegan and non-vegan and nothing impressed. The hummus, falafel, bean burger, turkey burger, salads....everything was adequate. Including the service, which had the six dishes each rough out individually, leaving us wait 5+ minutes staring at our food for the whole table to be served. I'd love to see more spice and more flavor! Oh - and get rid of those rock hard hamburger buns. read more

Great balance: the atmosphere is playful, but not silly; the lighting is dim, but not dark; the menu is extensive, but not overwhelming; the food is healthy, but not austere. Most of all, the menu-which you can peek at online-caters to healthy eaters of all varieties, including omnis and vegans. After examining the generous menu for a few moments, my boyfriend and I were ready to order. He started with a small salad with roasted beets, cherry tomatoes, and glazed walnuts, which was very tasty and not too stingy a portion. I was going to get a hummus appetizer, until I realized that the owners of Tula have made the genius choice to serve warm pita bread and chickpea salad in place of a normal breadbasket. Free! Free! Genius idea. All restaurants should do this. Tula charges for a second helping of bread, but in truth, if I always had the option of bread this good on the table, I'd order seconds every time. Yum. For my main course, I got roasted vegetable salad with broccoli, eggplant, summer squashes, red onion & roasted garlic, topped with fresh lemon (there's feta in the original salad, which of course I had them hold). It was truly as close to perfect as any salad I didn't make myself can be: tasty, well seasoned, colorful, and HUGE. Bless you, Tula, for understanding the concept of generous portion sizes. This hungry vegan lady thanks you: My boyfriend took a different route, and ordered the tempeh reuben. I'll admit, I've never had either a normal or a vegan reuben, but I had a bite of his sandwich, and it was stellar. I'm partial to anything with tempeh, it's true, but this was special: We also agreed that this was by far the best vegan coleslaw we'd ever had; not sure how they made it, precisely (my guess is vegannaise + apple cider vinegar), but it was just like the conventional dish. We left Tula with full bellies, raving about what a happy find it was. If this restaurant were just a little closer to the Upper West Side, I'd be a serious regular. As it is, I may need to find an excuse to go back. Hmmm. Golf? The ferry to Fire Island? We'll see. read more

I came here for ladies night with my mom. We got drinks, and tapas which were a special that night. The place has excellent food, an extensive menu and the prices are reasonable. I love how you can come here and enjoy the place with all your girlfriends and not have to worry about someone not being able to choose something because of their special dietary needs. Their menu is friendly to all vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, paleo, meat eaters! I also love the atmosphere at night inside the place is dark and tables have candles. This place is good for ladies night, a first date, or just a family dinner. read more

I've been to Tula more times than I can count. Food is very good, they have really nice vegan options. It gets busy Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, so if you really want to go I suggest a reservation on those days. I have gone here a few times without a reservation and the staff, usually this guy at the front, is a little pompous. Kind of makes you feel like you are crazy for think you are getting a table at his "exclusive" restaurant. I usually just ignore his attitude and depending on the wait time i'll pass or wait. If you come any other night or for brunch during the week you are usually seated right away. The staff has always been very friendly once I've been seated. Food comes out in good time and they don't rush. It has a very nice relaxing atmosphere too. Bottom line: Great if you have food restrictions and it doesn't hurt to call and make a reservation, especially on the weekends. read more

*UPDATED* - JUNE 19/2014. *****Went in last night to give it another shot. Really friendly bartender. Very good service. Happy Hour was pretty good. The app deal was pretty nice. Yummy spanikopita. My entree was superb. Chicken kebobs. I still think having Bud Light as a Happy Hour beer is really dismal. Long Island is one of the national epicenters of the craft beer movement. No excuse serving Bug Light as the only Happy Hour beer option. Overall, though, it was a ten times better experience than the first time. Chairs outside are still unacceptable, though. :-P I do think the place needs help on the service details. Some of the entrees play in the upper 20's/low 30's for a plate. Get rid of the black pepper shakers and grab some smaller grinders with fresh black pepper. The wine glasses are very eh (I've been in the winemaking industry for five years). Go for some higher quality glass, with more proper shapes. Get Stella off the menu as a craft beer, bc it isn't, and get a craft beer (even the lowest end of a brewery's lineup will do) going for happy hour. The beer list descriptions need a total reworking. I think if they were to smooth out some of the minute details, this place would be a total package. With all of that said, I will be patronizing the place again in the future. ------- Beautiful decor. I enjoyed the ambiance. My dad took me here. The food looked amazing, and he said it was quite good. But we didn't eat (more on that later).... So we walk in. Bar isn't "set up" according to the bartender. It's 345. Your "happy hour" (more on that in a second) is 4 o'clock. It's a Friday in June. It's 345 and your happy hour is at 4. Be ready before that. Bartender was cold and clearly unhappy we were there at 345. On the "craft beer list" was Stella Artois and another beer (the name of which escapes me) They are not craft beer. The chairs outside were horribly rigid and uncomfortable. The happy hour is apparently relegated to beverages such bud light. The happy hour sign outside days "don't think, just drink." Jon Taffer of Bar Rescue would have a heart attack reading that. Woman who worked there came outside where we were sitting. We asked her if they had any food happy hour specials. She said "at the bar." Oh really? At the bar? Well, why don't you tell us what the food specials are? Honestly I felt nothing but a "you're not welcome" feeling the entire time. I have been in the service industry for a long time (delis, restaurants, fish markets, vineyards), and I have to say I was pretty disappointed with the attitudes I experienced. I will go back to meet the nice bartender my dad had told me about, and to try the delicious looking food. read more

This was my second visit to Tula's. I came to this establishment at the request of my 16 year old daughter (vegetarian). First time 4 of us ate at the bar and we had an amazing evening. The barmaid was quite engaging and kept the drinks and conversation flowing. We laughed and had a great meal. On Saturday they took our reservation for five. The table was awaiting as promised. We had grilled asparagus and string bean salad and spinach pie for an apt. Both were amazing. Best spinach pie I ever had. Crispy flaky filo dough with tasty spinach and feta. The chick pea/bean dip and toasted pita wedges were a home run. I had the greek salad with grilled chicken for an entree. It's an 18 dollar salad but they did not skimp on the size of same. It was tasty and delicious. We also had almond crusted chicken which was a rave. The place is a find for sure. It's set up in such a way that you feel comfortable and at ease. Cool avant guard decor. Love the atmosphere and the staff are all friendly, attentive and accommodating. Do yourself a favor and check this place out, you will not be disappointed. By the way it is not strictly vegetarian so there is something for everybody and anybody. read more

More restaurants should be like this. They have vegan, vegetarian and meat options on the menu. All of the menu items are served and cooked as though they are preparing the meal just for you. When you get it, you do not feel like you got an assembly line version of a meal, but rather that there is a chef preparing exactly what you ordered fresh. Each dish seems way healthier than anything you would get at another restaurant and at the same time is delicious. I have had many good meals here, but last night I had the cobb salad and it was wonderful. It is a SALAD and it was WONDERFUL. I don't think it can get much better than that. I wish I could make a salad that well. My husband had the lentil loaf, which we have had many times and it is always delicious. Again, it is made out of lentils and was DELICIOUS. Definitely come here. You will not be disappointed, even if you are not a vegan or vegetarian... we aren't and it is one of our favorite restaurants. read more

Tula Kitchen is an outstanding restaurant in Bayshore with such good vibes. The crystal chandeliers add such a nice touch to the East side, and the gorgeous red walls & candlelit ambience on the West side makes for the perfect night out. Start with the honey baked brie... it's served with grapes and a delicious garlic toast. The Mediterranean Platter is out of this world -- served with hummus, pitas, a Greek salad, & topped with spinach pie. They have the best falafel I've ever had, crab cakes are phenomenal, and they have brussel sprout TACOS (genius!). I came here for the first time a couple months ago and have been coming in try more things on the menu since then.. everything is outstanding. If you're looking for a good cocktail, this place should be your go-to.The watermelon basil martini is crafted to perfection as well as the green tea martini, YUM. Customer Service is like none other!! The staff is incredibly attentive & friendly from the moment you walk in. read more

If you haven't been here, please go and have yourself a real culinary experience ! Eat food that really is unique and served correctly and in an ambiance that is created for your pleasure and enjoyment. Good eatery and I'm so glad it exists and provides an option when you want something different and of a higher quality ! read more

Erica had been in love with this restaurant since she started going a few years ago. Not realizing what a meatatarian Matt was when they first met she decided to invite him to dine with her on one of their first dates. Sounds disastrous, right? It wasn't. Here's why: The Food: Honey-baked brie. Holy sh*t. Although this is easy enough to make at home (in fact we have, on weeks where dining out is not in the budget), Tula's brie is fantastic. The bunch of grapes is a nice touch to the plate. One complaint: since our original date at this restaurant the size of the brie has noticeably diminished. Sign of the times? Perhaps. But this appetizer is no where near the size it used to be, and that's a shame. We have also happily consumed the Mediterranean spread for two, the hummus platter (served with pickles, which we also now do at home), the roasted veggies.. just about everything on the appetizer menu is amazing. In fact, we usually share a bottle of wine and order a few apps instead of entrees, as it is way more fun, and we leave completely satisfied. Erica's parents recently switched to a vegan diet, and were pleasantly surprised at the options available to them. They raved about the vegan crab cakes, bean burger, and tempeh teriyaki (two separate visits). We also recently tried two chicken entrees, which made excellent lunches as leftovers as well. And the free bean and pita dish (instead of the typical bowl of bread) served to you before you even order? Score. The Drink: not an extensive wine selection, but what they have is excellent and pairs well with their food. We generally stick with one or two specific bottles (the names escape us, both red blends). We have not tried the mixed drinks...yet. The Service: we have almost always had great service, with the exception of our last visit, where the waiter could not be bothered with us. Maybe he was having a bad day. It happens.. Definitely won't keep us from returning. Everyone is usually very friendly, from the server to the bartender to the owner, who occasionally visits the tables, even on busy nights. The Ambiance: blood-red walls, velvet benches, dim lighting, and black wrought-iron candelabras at every table makes these two Goth kids very happy. A paradox if there ever was one. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. The waiters very friendly. My favorite dish of all time is their tofu crab cakes. I have heard from my family who I went with (not vegan like me) that their non-vegan foods aren't that great, but I never heard a complaint about their vegan meals (but who cares, vegans are cooler!). The times I went it wasn't super crowded. My first time going with my family of five we didn't know about the reservations and we still got a table without a wait. It has a dark, Gothic, Buddist kind of style to it, very beautiful. Kind of pricey but not super over the top, it's more of a date/special occasion kind of place. Not the kind of place to wear sweat pants and a tank top. Every restaurant/food service place will have a bad waiter but that does't mean everyone there is like that or the place is bad. All the waiters I got here were incredibly nice :) 10 stars from me! read more
