Had such a nice experience here on a semi-busy Thursday night in the poppin' town of Bay Shore. Our waitress, Wendy, was very nice and honest - she made her recommendations which we kind of went with. The mussels appetizer was prob one of the most cleanly prepped and juicy dish I've ever had of mussels. Every single shell had a perfectly cooked mussel, which doesn't always happen. The balsamic glazed salmon was also a hit. Loved the cauliflower mash and the arugula gave it a fresh flare. Only dish that wasn't a success was the lentil burger, which the waitress didn't give her thumbs-up approval on when we ordered. It was dry and bland - but a good option for any vegans/vegetarians out there. Loved the Cool as a Cuc cocktail - but at $14 a glass, you don't get very much. It was really refreshing and different - a must try ! read more

I can't believe I didn't give them a review sooner but I'm pretty new to the Yelp thang. I've been coming here for years and they're always on point! I work up the block and we like to order from Tula on Fridays for lunch. You have to try the Korean BBQ Burger! I tried for the first time today. It's a sesame crusted turkey burger with a really yummy bbq sauce & it's served with sweet potato bites that they air fry. The chicken Reuben on rye is always scrumptious! I usually get that or the Mediterranean spread. No pics of anything because I'm always starving lol I'll take pics next week. They are also able to accommodate my gluten free boss lol which he loves because not a lot of places in Bay Shore has GF bread. read more

Such a cute place everything is very fresh and tasty. Went for dinner and it was pretty quiet and intimate. read more

Great selection of feed including vegetarian options (I had the veggie bolognese)! Appetizers were both filling and delicious. The Mediterranean spread for two looked and tasted awesome and the honey baked Brie was as delicious as the name sounds. We weren't sure if we'd have room for our entrees, but we managed. We wanted dessert but we're afraid we'd explode from being stuffed. The vibe was great with two contrasting sides to the restaurant. Service was wonderful too. Tula Kitchen is definitely on our shortlist of place to go back too! read more

Had a great experience at Tula's. I had the striped bass with cous cous. It was lightly pan fried with black olives, feta and grape tomatoes. One of the best fish dishes I've ever had!!! The Tito's Mellon cocktail and key lime pie were both great as well. I forget the name of the server but she was really personable. I will def be back!!! read more

Came in for take out after a nice beach day for some filling vegetarian food and Tula Kitchen was the fix! Surprisingly busy on a Tuesday evening which I did not mind at all. I was greeted by a hostess stationed outside with face mask on. I ordered quinoa stuffed avocado and Mediterranean spread (spinach pie and pita bread with hummus and side salad). Sorry no picture of the spinach pie, I devoured it immediately . Worth checking out. There's a ton of meat options there also for non vegetarians out there reading this read more

Just wanted to update on how Tula's is going during covid19. We ordered curbside (they have delivery too). We ordered our favorite chicken bowls and the chicken kabob dinner. As always it was outstanding. Honestly, the best meal I have had during this time. I called in my order at 4:05. They asked what kind of car I had. They had me pay/tip with my CC. I pulled up at the time they told me. I waited about 10 minutes and the owner came out with my food. There was no contact. It is a very safe system. And, the food was wrapped up perfectly. Thanks Tula's for having a great system and awesome food (as always)! read more

Every time we go to Tula we have an exceptional dining experience! Food is always fresh, delicious, and atmosphere is wonderful. Menu choices are different and diversified. Staff is attentive and excellent (Wendy is fabulous) and they always go above and beyond to create a salt free meal for me! you won't be disappointed! read more

Great expansive vegan menu. Cool decor. I probably wouldn't get the vegan crab cakes again but the warm kale salad was great! Service was very nice too. read more

My new go to place!! Talk about an extensive menu- they really have something for EVERYONE! Chicken dishes for the meat eaters, fish for the pescatarians, tofu and seitan for the vegans- and anything else in between! We had our weekly girls night here tonight and everything was awesome- very cool drinks, delicious food and yummy dessert. I cannot wait to go back!!! Update- I had my bridal shower and it was gorgeous!! The food, service and atmosphere was amazing. They gave us a hard time about bringing I in our own desserts which was annoying, but that's the only complaint I have, everything else was perfect! read more

I've been here sooo many times and I love it more each time. They have def been one of those places that's getting better with time. I remember when they first opened and they were very inconsistent but I did still support and now it's one of my go-to's! They have an excellent menu! You can do really well here even if you're with your annoyingly picky eater friend. I've had a ton of plates here from the Meditteranean platter for two, mussels (always), almost all of their salads (with added chicken or shrimp), the chicken dish with the broccoli rabe, Mexican pizza, and their desserts! I loved everything especially last night. The Mediterranean platter with spinach pies, Greek salad, pita, hummus and tzatziki which is the best for 2-3 people as a table starter. Mexican pizza with chicken was really good too, also good for splitting with your peeps. They have a really amazing drink menu with all of these well crafted cocktails.... this one bartender though is so ridic, he completely lacks situational awareness... why am I yelling excuse me across the bar at the bartender who was staring into space.... like survey the bar and be attentive. Another guest sitting at the bar was like "he is the worst", lol I feel bad but like wtf pay attention. It's not the first time I've experienced him either. Another thing is their price point.... they def have some plates that are more on the $$$ side so either don't eat with cheap people or just be aware. The food is good and their portion size is pretty generous.. These two desserts we had last night were phenomenal... the Rico suave brownie.. which was a yummy, decadent brownie crushed into a sundae serving cup with ice cream, we loved it. The other was a praline loaf... it was soooo good. It wasn't much to the eye but it def tasted amazing, go for both! read more

I thought the decor was fantastic and the food was good. I've only been there once, so I'll have to update my review if I ever go back.

I went here for a bridal shower. They have a private back room which was great. It was on the smaller side but it worked for the size of the party. They had a great brunch spread on each table so you didn't have to get up and serve yourself. They kept the mimosas coming the entire time. Staff was friendly and constantly around. Bathrooms were very very clean. Parking lot is located right behind the restaurant which is great. read more

Found this great restaurant by accident and will definitely be returning. My wife is a vegetarian and in most cases it is difficult to find something on the menu for her other then eggplant. Well Tulas has a plethora of choices for those that choose not to eat meat as well as those that do. The service is outstanding!! The place is lively and loud however the quality of the food and service far outweighs the noise. If you are in the area I highly recommend that u give it a try. read more

Tula Kitchen is a lovely restaurant with great options for vegetarians and vegans. We had a private room so we could hold a meeting and enjoy the delicious food. The service was attentive and excellent. The ambiance and decor is quite lovely and the Halloween decor cute. I chose the fussili with chicken, Parmesan, garlic and vegetables and I really enjoyed it. Rather than being served in oil, the chicken broth was a nice touch for more flavor and the amount of garlic was perfect for my liking. I love garlic. My friend ordered the salmon cakes and it was served with a slaw and she raved about it. My other friend orders the almond chicken and it was served with a nice salad on the side. My friend expressed that the chicken was moist and delicious. I would definitely go back and it's perfect for a shower, a small party, or meeting. read more

The food can be hit or miss depends on the dish. Sometimes it's amazing others times it's not.

Had a fantastic dinner with my family here. We have some vegetarians, gluten free, and allergies, and they were able to accommodate all of it. Food was great all around. Seafood perfectly prepared, juicy and tasty. My seitan schwarma was awesome. Lots of gluten free options for anyone looking. Including the desserts, which were also enjoyable. Service was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We will def go back. read more

So I forgot to check-in the other night but I gotta say... First time dining here and I'm in love. I don't want to give out a solid 5 until a second and third visit because I've learned my lesson but damn this spot was solid. Second of all... I've been lacking on Yelp due to my hiatus because of few reasons and I really should get back into the groove of writing reviews. Moving on and back to Tula's. Dinner was phenom. Like holy moly so good. A few of us went so we ordered: A Latin Lover Board: beyondddd good. Baked brie with roasted veggies. Whipped ricotta and honey. zomg. Mexican Pizza: so good. Hummus: I gotta say this is the best hummus I've had in my life. Legit SO good. I could've easily just had some of this and been happy or the Latin lover board and this. OMG. Next time I go I'd like to add the roasted veggies with it. My main was the Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini and Squash Spaghetti. Again after basically eating quite a bit of appetizers I didn't want my dinner. I had a few bites and couldn't wait for lunch the next day. Thankfully I remembered my leftovers and packed 'em up to take with me to work the next day. Dessert was the bread pudding and the brownie sundae we all split. I personally loved the brownie sundae. Our service was great and super attentive and didn't seem to pester my group of girlfriends and I too much. Will I be back? Heck yeah!!!! read more

Went here for dinner and was so happy with the entire restaurant! The food, staff, ambiance, etc., were all 10/10. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone, especially if you're vegetarian or vegan! read more

A few colleagues recommended Tula to me on a recent trip to Long Island, and I wish I had gone the first night so I could have enjoyed multiple dinners here instead of just one! I ordered the veggie "meat"-balls with zucchini noodles and spaghetti squash, and it was perfect. The portion size was large so even though I was just eating vegetables for dinner, I felt vert satiated. Their dessert menu is worth perusing as they have a more extensive dessert menu than other restaurants I've been to. I noticed most tables ordered dessert, so they must be known for it! read more

UPDATE: The "G-tini" is the best cocktail I've had in my life. Green tea vodka with green tea and lemon! OMG and the tempeh is to die for add it to any salad for an amazing meal. My favorite restaurant always. Tula kitchen is such a gem. It's one of my favorite healthy food restaurants on Long Island. It's menu is different then anything else in the area, but they have options for everyone. I've tried a bunch of stuff on there menu and I have to say from the salads to the entrees you cannot go wrong. The lunch menu is a bit limited which is why I always come for dinner. I recommend this restaurant to anyone, vegans, vegetarians, meat eaters. I always leave feeling full and satisfied. I highly recommend the dragon love, the cous cous salad, and the poke bowls! Honestly everything is wirtDefinitely a dining experience and not a quick meal. Check them out! read more

Tula Kitchen is on the corner of busy Main Street which is a perfect location for their bar area airy wide open door street side inside and outside patio dining. They also have set aside the dining room which has an eclectic appearance with bleeding red walls. We had reservations which I recommend since it was busy for a Friday evening. Our hostess seated us on time and our lovely waitress was at our table taking our drink orders within seconds. The thirty minutes later, we found our waitress and addressed the question of our drink orders. The manager came by and was apologetic for the delay. But it wasn't until I stated my same concern if we order additional drinks that the management decided to pay for our first round. I am guessing that it was an off night. Meanwhile, the glazed salmon entrée I had ordered that was over a bed of mashed cooked cauliflower was very good. I believe this restaurant theme of providing a healthy fresh diet & vegan concept seriously works. read more

The beauty of this restaurant is that one can walk inside, sit down across a lively space very much relaxed despite its vibrant sizzle, and order a meal you'll have zero regret consuming out of worries concerning the waistline! I mean... I had an almond crusted chicken meal with apricot sauce, shaved parmesan, baby greens, and tomatoes (with a side of honey balsamic) and felt absolutely pure after I finished eating it all! Haha. Which in no way begins to describe the delicious experience I spent enjoying some truly wonderful cocktails among friends, tended to by a wonderful staff that were busy, yet mindful of what I needed, when I needed it. This establishment has got their act together and it is a especial treasure for those who are not only interested in a healthy dining environment, but are looking for restaurants offering vegetarian and/or vegan options. I recommend you visit Tula Kitchen, for I believe you'll enjoy it as much as I did! read more

My husband and I went to Tula Kitchen Thursday night for dinner. We ordered the Asian Noodle salad and the Almond Crusted Chicken. Both were delicious and just what we needed. The waitress was delightful and attentive. It's such a lovely place with a different vibe than other restaurants. We do miss their breakfast. But if you're looking for a great cup of coffee, this is the place to go. So fresh and delicious. read more

This place was awesome. Ambience is incredible, dark and alluring. Definitely great for date night. The service was fantastic, and I loved the food. Drinks were also amazing.

Okay, peeps... it was the TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF OUR FIRST DATE (!!!) and we went back to Tula Kitchen (this time with a reservation and sat at a table) and WHOAAAA, NELLIE!! So very impressed by this place. It's got EVERYTHING. Gorgeous ambiance, fabulous waitstaff, and the food is too delicious to describe. But I'll do it anyway. One of the best things about Tula Kitchen is that if you eat vegetarian but your friends don't (or vice versa) you can come here and make everyone happy! They've got awesome vegetarian options, and also a few chicken and fish dishes - so it's a win for everyone. I started out with the awesome Clockwork Orange cocktail, and hubby got some freshly brewed unsweetened iced tea. Then we chowed down on their mind-blowing bruschetta pizza... all I can say is, it's a good thing we've been dating for 20 years, because we're not shy any more. NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!! Hubs got the balsamic glazed salmon with cauliflower/white bean mash, and I got the sesame crusted tuna with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. Dudes, our taste buds were doing the macarena in a very serious manner. For dessert, we hit up the bread pudding with hot apple compote and vanilla ice cream, and the chocolate peanut butter pie. It's really hard to eat this stuff without passing out from sheer pleasure, but we managed to stay upright long to enjoy the hell out of it! I'm adding a bunch of new photos because you really, really need to see how gorgeous Tula Kitchen food is. Seeing is believing, and all that. read more

Just celebrated a special occasion here and can't say enough about how good it is. Great food, great service.

You literally can't make a bad choice on the menu. read more

Absolutely delicious. When going out to eat being a vegetarian can suck but not here. I ordered the French peasant and it was so flavorful and delicious I'd have it again.

Will definitely be back read more

So as promised I made a return and was not disappointed. This time we got to sit in the part of the restaurant where the garage doors open. Even though it is now fall, we have had some great warn weather so this was perfect! To start we ordered the quinoa stuffed avocado which was good. For dinner I ordered the Po-kay Bowl which was awesome. It had tuna, purple rice, edamame, beets, avocado, and brussel sprouts. There was a tofu option too. I had the coconut cloud drink which was also very good. My husband ordered the seafood rigati which he loved (he was skeptic about coming here). Everyone else was pleased with their meals too! read more

One of my absolute FAVORITE spots for vegan food! The service is always stellar, food is fresh, and ambiance is perfect. Most workers recognize us and greet us so kindly when we come in, it's like family. GO TO apps are the Falafels, Hummus Platter with Roasted Veggies (sooooo AMAZING). Best entrees are the Lentil Loaf and Roasted Broccoli Salad. Favorite desserts by FAR are the Rockin Vegan Cupcake and Peanut Butter Iced Puddin. Dessert is obbbbviously my favorite part, and paired with their French press coffee I am in HEAVEN. Love love love love LOVE it here!! read more

2012 Update: I'm pleased to share that Tula Kitchen has stayed true to its roots and has been rather consistent since it has opened its doors back in '07-08. The menu hasn't been altered much (which is both good/bad, I would have loved to see more creative dishes) and the food is constantly delicious. Every time I'm here I'm mulling for at least 10 minutes over the menu choices. Do I want to go full on vegetarian tonight? Salmon? Chicken Shish-kabobs? Pasta?... its clearly an overwhelming experience even when you're a seasoned foodie. The honey baked brie w/garlic toast is heaven for creamy fromage lovers. When made properly (ie: honey evenly distributed over everything) the warm brie spread over crunchy slices of oil drizzled toast is an intoxicating experience for my taste buds. Surely, it's not the most original nor creative dish that Tula offers, however it's an appetizer worth getting again and again! The pasta bowls can feed a small family... unfortunately there IS a charge for sharing so do yourself a favor and take some home for lunch the following day. In addition to that, the bean burger is always a favorite choice of mine and is made with lentils instead of black beans. It holds together pretty well for a vegi-burger. The sweet potato fries that accompany it were flavorful albeit mushy and undercooked the last time I got it. The best vegi-friendly dish on the menu (in my stomach's lofty opinion at least) is the sesame crusted tofu with sauteed broccoli rabe & coconut basmati, It really is a dish so good that even the meat eaters will enjoy it. The thai-inspired peanut sauce makes this dish quite savory. Oddly enough, the dessert menu is disappointing with an exception for the dream bar. When served warm accompanied by a dollop of vanilla ice cream it finishes a meal off the right way (delicious sugar, sugar, fat and sugar!). read more

Tula Kitchen is a cut above the rest. A stand-out restaurant that offers healthy, clean, vegetarian-friendly food that never leaves you craving a meaty bite. Upon entering the restaurant, you could easily think you're walking into a swanky spot in Lower Manhattan, or a hip bar in Brooklyn- but no, it's Bay Shore thats bringing the variety to the south shore! They have a huge menu that has something for everyone without being overwhelming. A cocktail list that is as delicious as it is intriguing. I have been a loyal customer of Tula Kitchen since it opened and continue to recommend it to friends of all varieties. Tula can satisfy even the meatiest of carnivores. People will come to Tula from all over the island because it is THAT different and THAT good. Food highlights (but everything is great): -Dragon Love - Chicken Kabobs - PoKay Bowl - BBQ Cauliflower and Broccoli Salad ...everything... Already planning out my next meal at Tula! read more

I absolutely love this place! My friend and I were trying to find a place to have lunch this afternoon that didn't involve sushi, since that's all we ever eat. She has been here numerous times and said such good things, and I trust her opinion, so I figured, why not? I scoped out the menu and was sold very quickly. The 3 of us arrive around 2pm and were seated at a table close to the door. The second I walked through the door I was hooked. The decor is adorable and unique. I loved the large bar! Our waitress was very sweet and helpful since I was having a hrs time deciding what to order! We started with drinks first. My friend ordered a green tea martini and my sister ordered a blood orange pellegrino. I decided to go with 6oz of white Zinfandel. I really like that most of the wine options were 3oz, 6 oz, and a full bottle (full bottles are $5 off on Wednesdays.) This allows you to be able to try a few different wines without breaking the bank since the 3oz's were around $3-4 each! The wine I picked was light and refreshing! Now, onto the food. My friend had the mussels and adored them, my twin sister had the Mediterranean spread, and I had the turkey sandwich with lemon potato salad. I asked for the turkey in a wrap. It was amazing. Turkey was hot, Brie was melted and perfect, apples and honey Dijon were an amazing addition! I'm not a potato salad fan, but I was assured these would be good. They were roasted red potatoes covered in this incredible lemon vinaigrette! My meal was perfection. They have a long lunch menu and each offering is only $11.95! Can't wait to come back for happy hour and dinner with my fiancé! read more

Tofu Crabcakes- AMAZING especially with the tartar sauce. I've had a few vegan crab cakes before and hated them, so I was apprehensive but read great reviews. The people did not lie, these have amazing flavor and texture! Butternut salad- AMAZING yet again! What a perfect combination of flavors! Sweet, starchy, savory, satisfying yet light. The tahini dressing puts it over the top! Loved it! Scallops- yummy! My favorite was the bok choy and mushrooms! Mash was perfect too.
