After a pole class, a friend suggested this restaurant to accommodate our vegan friends. It was about seven of us in total, with a wide range of diets and picky eaters between us (no pork, vegans, flexitarians). This was my first time having so many meat substitutes that tasted almost exactly like the real thing. The server was extremely kind and helpful with our big order. We ordered a bunch of items for the table to share and everything was delicious. Here are some of the items we had in case you're not sure what to try: lo mein, shredded potato, sizzling lamb, roasted pork, cold noodles, vegetarian dumplings, mushroom with Bok Choy. It felt like she was bringing out a new plate of yummy food every 5 mins lol, now you see why I didn't get good pictures. I highly recommend for a good lunch or dinner with a group of friends.

A few months ago, I visited Greens and Grains in Northfield and I've been hooked ever since…read more Although Shrewsbury is not the closest to me, it's close enough that I've found myself making some drives down there to get my fix. My favorite thing that I like to get are their breakfast tacos. The tacos are filled with tofu scramble and topped with chili, a cheese-like sauce, and a slice of avocado. I don't know what it is, but I smash these tacos every single time I get them. They are so good! I honestly can't speak on much else because I get the same thing every time. Also, I buy one or two of their pressed juices. They make these in advance and are bottled. For the summer season, they have a juice that consists of strawberries, basil, beets, and more that is so very good. If you're looking for a place to get your vegan fix, this is the one.

They were not too busy when I stopped in, so I was able to get my order in right away. And I do have to say the woman that took my order was so kind and helpful! She even helped me track down another open spot to grab a coffee! I went with the salmon sandwich and it was SO GOOD!! Salmon was perfectly cooked and so flavorful and all of the sauces and other bits in it were delicious. It came on soft french bread with mango, avocado, dill, cucumber, tomatoes, mixed greens, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Kind of my perfect sandwich. They have half and whole sizes, the whole is most likely going to be perfect for two meals, if not one big and very filling meal. They are a block from the beach so I know parking can be tough in this area in the summer, but on a December weekday it was easy! The vibe inside is clean but very casual. Perfect for a quick, easy and delicious meal. Enjoy!

Wow! This place checks all the boxes for the best Indian restaurant in town!…read more Atithi is a family-owned, pure vegetarian spot offering delicious dishes with a creative twist. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and willing to offer recommendations when needed. The best part is that the menu has very detailed descriptions of each item so even if you're not super familiar with this cuisine, you'll know how to order. My husband and I started with samosas which were the best I've ever had! If you're a fan, please go and try this and let me know if I'm being hyperbolic, but they were insanely good! I had the Aloo Gobi Masala which was out of this world. The flavors were well balanced and tasty. My husband had the veg biryani. The portions were plenty and the ingredients super fresh!

It's super crispy, not greasy at all, and the homemade honey mustard sauce is amazing. It's perfect on the sesame bun and honestly one of my favorite meals to grab during the week. My boyfriend always goes for the build-your-own bowls, which he loves because he can customize exactly what he wants every time. They're always really good and a great option if you're in the mood for something tailored to you. I also went for breakfast for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised. I tried the Fruity Pebbles matcha, which was pretty good, though I think I would've liked it even more with 2% milk, which they didn't seem to have. I also had the So Extra sandwich and it was so good. The hash brown was still perfectly crispy inside the sandwich, the eggs were fried just right, I loved the touch of spinach, and whatever sauce was on it really tied everything together. I'd honestly come back just for that sandwich alone. Also it's super cute inside, perfect to bring a friend or date looking for a healthier option in downtown Somerville, NJ!

This was my first time coming back to Turf, Surf and Earth since their new menu change. I walked in…read moreat 11am and went up to the kiosk, and realized that only breakfast items were available. I wanted to try something from the lunch menu, after asking an employee, I was told that lunch starts at 11:30am. So I came back around that time to order. I've been seeing their Big Mack Smash on social media for some time now, and it looks delicious. So I decided to I order their single patty Big Mack Smash, with angus meat and American cheese, on a plant based white bun. I don't care for sesame seeds on buns, and there was no option for a regular burger bun (without sesame seeds), so I chose the non sesame seed vegan bun. I also ordered a side of fries with garlic aioli. The plant based white bun was a little dry and the burger patty was also dry and did not have much flavor. Maybe I should have done a double patty for the burger, since it is a smashed patty and a little too thin for my liking. I felt like I was eating a dry burger bun with mostly lettuce, an occasional pickle and the Mack sauce. I probably will not order the garlic aioli again, it had a sweeter and nutty flavor to it, and I prefer more of a savory aioli. I used to order their Blackened salmon with a side of greens and Spanish rice in their BBQ Ranch flavor style, from their old menu. I do miss that meal, it was so flavorful with the crispy onions to top everything off. But I understand that they made the change to better suit the business and cut back on waste. I probably would not order the big Mack burger again. But I will definitely be back to try something else from the new menu. I've been a customer for over 6 years, and have introduced some of my family members and friends to this restaurant, and we've enjoyed our meals here for that time. I love that there are many vegan and vegetarian options here. Although I am neither, it's a great place for those who have dietary restrictions/preferences. Hopefully I find my new go to menu item soon, but in the meantime I will be ordering and trying many of the other new menu items. This is definitely the place to come if you don't want a typical vegan meal. You'd be like a kid in a candy store, with the amount of options that are here. They also have many non vegan options. Turf, Surf and Earth serves EVERYONE and that is their biggest positive!

Bodai Vegan serves imperial-style Chinese cuisine on Midtown's east side. The food is light and…read moreclean; the chef prepares ingredients minimally so you taste the natural, earthy flavors. Served as a progressive prix fixe menu, dishes arrive one after the other. We started with a delightful five-flavor plate--each bite focusing on a different taste profile--plus cucumber-sauced mushrooms and a grounding Bodhi Buddha soup. Rich matsutake mushrooms and sweet-and-sour riblets followed, paired with bowl-steamed rice and noodles, before finishing with a refreshing sweet potato dessert. Service is smooth. Our server, Hannah, paced the courses briskly and professionally, perfect since we had a show afterward. Still, block out at least an hour and a half to truly enjoy the thoughtfully curated meal. The space is fully wheelchair friendly with wide pathways. Because it is strictly reservation-only, plan ahead. It works beautifully for celebrations or a romantic evening.

In terms of a prefix menu I thought this was really good value per person. The atmosphere that they created was very tranquil and serene even though the tables were a little bit too close to each other. The chairs were too heavy for my liking. If I'm being a bit nitpicky, I felt like the chopstick rests and the fake flowers detract from the decor a bit and it feels a bit tacky but overall, the ambiance was good. My favorite dishes were all at the beginning where I really liked the Five flavor Plate (my favorite taste was the bittermelon one). The cauliflower mushroom dish was also really unique but my favorite dish of the night was Buddha jumps over the wall. The dry ice presentation was stunning. There were eight types of braised mushrooms, and texturally, the dish was just so interesting and umami. This was the pinnacle and highlight for me. It kind of tasted like a Chinese cream of mushroom soup haha. If you like mushrooms and soy, you would really like this tasting menu. There were times I felt some dishes were a little bit too salty (roasted matsutake), but as far as tasting menus go, it wasn't bad overall. While the presentation of the dessert was nice, it was really impractical to eat and a little bit difficult. I also wish there was more of dessert that's a bit more than two bites haha.

Not quite winter cozy, but it did not feel empty either. It struck a comfortable balance. The food was solid. The beef pho was delicious. I am not sure if I was just super hungry, but it definitely hit the spot. The chicken pho broth did not quite measure up. It was not bad, just not as rich or flavorful as the beef. There was a live singer, which was interesting. It probably would have fit better in a louder bar type environment rather than a relaxed pho spot. It was not a dealbreaker, just a bit unexpected. Service was prompt and they made sure we were taken care of. In fact, each waiter checked on us during their rounds, so we were probably triple checked every time. Attentive, to say the least. Overall, I would recommend it.

The Detroit Plain did not disappoint. The crust was crispy on the edges and super light and fluffy in the middle. There was a good balance of sauce and cheese and the basil added a nice freshness. The Philly Cooper was the best cheesesteak I've had in NJ. It was loaded with steak, onions and cooper sharp. It was a a very rich and slightly salty sandwich with all that cheese but that's kind of what you expect from a good cheesesteak. The fries are also nice a crispy. I knocked it down 1 star because the service was pretty slow and the kids chicken tenders we ordered for my son were a little dry. Also, they let us know ahead of time that the food was going to come out at different times but it still made the dining in experience a little weird. Overall I would absolutely come back because the Detroit pizza and cheesesteak are among the best, if not the best in NJ.
