My childhood bestie and his family were in town from the Bay Area so you know we had to meet up. They've been vegans for close to two decades and I vibe with just about anything so I love when we enjoy good food together. Except oysters. I don't vibe with oysters. But oyster MUSHROOMS?!?! Hey-yooooooo. Our party of 6 posted up at a table by the window and went hamm (get it vegan ham) on apps and entrees. The oyster mushroom chikn tendies were phenomenal. Legit tasted like kfc. I had the Barbie-Que sandwich that was drool worthy. Pasta and neat balls and mash n gravy were satisfying bites too. They have an extensive bar but as I was on my friend's dad's dime, I acted like I had home training and didn't run up the check. I had no idea an actual vegan restaurant - as opposed to a fast casual - was in our midst. I'll definitely get back! read more

I like vegetarian food quite a bit, but found the dishes here to be subpar. The dishes were overly salty, as if to compensate for the lack of taste. I order a few items and was disappointed by all of them unfortunately. * Raw-violi (pickled and brined beet slices, cashew macadamia nut cheese, pesto, and saffron cream, 1 star off): the beet slices were too salty; the cashew macadamia nut cheese did not taste like cheese, but more like ground up nuts; I did like their saffron cream sauce...not sure how it went with the beets and nuts, but it tasted good on its own * Mackin cheese (elbow pasta with sweet potato truffle cream cheese, 1 star off): I could taste the sweet potato, but there was no truffle flavor * Mash-n-gravy (crusted tempeh, truffle mashed potatoes, kale, carrots, and gravy, 1 star off): I have had good tempeh before, but the tempeh here was a salty, compacted soybean; again, there was no truffle flavor in the mashed potatoes; the entire dish was a goopy mess * Bananarama (banana cake, blueberry compote, and mango-vanilla sauce, 1 star off): the cake was dry and tasted like a day or two old; I did like the mango-vanilla sauce though It is sad that the condiments or sauces used for the dishes were the best part of the meal. Back to meat dishes I go... read more

I just loved! They are the best vegan food that I ever tried! I will this month for my marriage anniversary dinner read more

Servers were super friendly and they have 2 stories to the building - the music they played made for nice ambiance :) I can't say I have much experience with vegan food - a lot of my previous times trying it had been at Buddhist canteens and they were pretty flavorful! The Mac and cheese was definitely cheesy, but there was something missing with the dish. My favorite part was the roasted broccoli and mushroom. The vegetables were very flavorful and smoky. The cheesecake at first threw us off, but the taste grew on us over time. I'm not sure if I would visit again, but it was a unique experience for us. read more

Creative and tasty vegan dishes, really cute decor, and fast friendly service. Great place to have dinner and a drink.

One of the best meals I've ever had and I'm not even vegan! So many choices, food was fresh, delicious. Service very friendly, served quickly. And had the pineapple ginger ale, was sooo good! Loved the decor. I'm definitely coming back! read more

The restaurant has a very cozy ambiance, as well as a friendly and accommodating wait staff. I ordered the Falafull which was filling and flavorful, and the Mackin cheese as a side. The cashew cheese was so good! If I didn't know it was vegan, I would've assumed it was regular Mac n cheese. For dessert we ordered the lemon cheesecake ( which was cashew cheese as well ) . The first bite is perplexing because the texture is a little different to regular cheesecake, but I got used to it pretty quickly! It was sweet and flavorful. I would definitely come back ( as long as New Brunswick parking works in my favor). It was nice as a vegetarian to be able to point at anything on the menu and know I could eat it To the staff- if yall see this please post the playlist you play in the restaurant on Spotify please! The songs were bops! read more

If can make a PSA: Vegan food can be made good with the right ingredients, presentation, and options! Their Thanksgiving Pizza was solid for a winter dinner date. Be warned that its supe filling, and carby to boot Their mac & cheese was also a winner give them colder weather, we gotta try the desserts next time. Might make this a regular on the rotation. read more

I have gotten takeout from Veganized for my birthday every year for the past few years. This year, I'm recovering from oral surgery so I can eat the components of my favorite wrap but I can't bite into it and chew it as a wrap. I called to explain the situation and ask if I could get the filing of the wrap over rice instead, which did not seem to be a crazy request but was refused. I was not given the option to pay a surcharge for this change but simply told no, they wouldn't do it, even after checking with the chef. I have really enjoyed Veganized's food over the past few years and I love that there's a vegan restaurant in the area that's doing so well, but I am incredibly disappointed and unfortunately will not be returning. read more

What an amazing place! I sat at the bar. The two girls that waited me were AWESOME! (Meagan and Zoe) I had the Equilibrium cocktail. Very refreshing. I had the Gyro plate and Mini Mac. Both were equaling great, the mushrooms were tender and flavorful. The Mini Mac was made with large shell pasta and very creamy. I ordered the Lemon Vanilla Cheeze Cake. This will not disappoint! Sorry no pictures of the dessert. Great place I will definitely be back when in town. read more

Great vegan spot and very close to the state theater for a pre show dinner. We shared nachos which were delicious but a little skimpy for $19 in my opinion. Overall our entrees were good but the Reuben didn't come with fries which seems strange because my burger did. Giving 4 stars because I was charged $2 for a tiny ramekin of mayonnaise. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant and made a 6 o'clock reservation for a Saturday evening. When we arrived at 6 I was told there was no reservation for 4 but they would put us in the side room. We then waited 15 minutes for a server; and another 15 for her to take our order. We waited another 45 minutes for our food. Our server was very sweet but you can't tell customers that the kitchen is busy on a Saturday evening! If you can't handle the volume then don't fill the tables. I had to track someone down to pay the bill. Needless to say, all of this really detracted from the food which was pretty good. We might have ordered more but we had theater tickets and couldn't spend another hour waiting for dessert. Only go here if you have PLENTY of time and feel like hanging out in the eclectic atmosphere. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great service! Highly recommend! We will be back. Organic made plant based with lots of gluten free options.

I've been coming here for over 9 years (at least) the food is always exceptional, and consistently amazing, and delicious. I've brought many people, even if they aren't vegan here, and they all loved it. I've also recommended this place, and every time, they told me they went and had the best time and delicious meal (just like I said). This is one of my favorite places, either for a date night or casual night out with friends, the food is delicious, the ambiance, and the servers are always, always incredibly kind. They're so patient and never rush you. Everyone is so genuinely pleasant and sweet. Thank you!!​ read more

What an awesome Vegan menu with mushroom being the highlight . Completely blown away by the inside of this tiny looking restaurant . Starting with a cozy yet spacious bar area as we walked in. Ample seating leading up to a flight of stairs to a airy 2 level dining area . It didn't end there . They have a lovely covered outdoor terrace seating , that makes for a cool spot to spend an afternoon having their one of many interesting drinks or dessert from their interesting menu. Unique decor and lighting . Parking can be a challenge in the New Brunswick area but try going on a weekday lunchtime and it was a breeze . We sat outside in the terrace but as it was windy we moved indoor . Started with the side order of crispy fries and simple salad . Real crispy fries - was a complete let down - very soft oily and not anything close to crispy as described Simple salad - Light , delightful , yummy dressing Curry crusted mushroom Sandwich - could get enough of this scrumptious sandwich. It was a semi cold sandwich with curry flavored fried oyster mushrooms , butternut squash and broccoli . Peculiar combination of flavors but it worked very well and offered an interesting bite Pecan torte - desert is usually the killer highlight at most places and Veganized wasn't an exception. For a totally vegan - Oat Coconut crusted Torte served on a bed of vegan vanilla cream and chocolate sauce , it was extremely addictive and lip smacking good . They are known for their Bananarama which I couldn't try as I was full . Waiting for next time ! read more

It's been a week and I'm still thinking about the burger and sweet potato fries. They were delicious! I went with a couple friends and everyone really enjoyed their meals. My one friend got the spaghetti and neat balls and she didn't like the neatballs, however, she loved the pasta itself. Definitely skip the desserts, we tried all 5 of them and none were really good. The peanut butter chocolate one was the best but still not a re-order worthy. read more

This place is a little pricey but the staff and quality of food are worth it in my opinion. As a vegetarian it's hard to find places with menus fully without meat. I often find myself having to modify signature dishes to exclude their star ingredient in order to be able to eat it. That's not the case here. The menu is specifically catered towards different types of vegan options. I had the cashew Mac and cheese and really enjoyed it. My friends who eat meat surprisingly also really enjoyed their dishes. The staff really go out of their way to ensure everyone chooses a meal they'll enjoy. read more

The mushroom appetizer please get it! Everything was delicious. The ambiance was eclectic and strange but the food?

Food is good, but very overpriced. They also don't provide discounts for Dashpass. Also very little variety in their menu and no specials.

Amazing food, mysterious interior design, fantastic cocktail! Will definitely come back! For the cocktail, the Spring Street Tonic is amazing and the Mimosa (gold) is the best mimosa ever! read more

Second time here, we love this place! Food was great, as always. We shared the Timbale and it was tasty, but it is hard to scoop anything on the thin chips that they give you. I got the Mackin Cheeze. Creamy and delicious, but the mushrooms had a Smokey taste that I didn't like. That's a personal preference so nothing wrong with it. Wish I had more broccoli though! The breadcrumbs really bring that whole dish together. Everyone is super friendly and always accommodating. I love the outdoor seating on a nice summer day. It's fun to people watch from below. read more

I wanted to thank the vegan community for being so welcoming every time I enter Veganized. I was afraid that they would do a blood test to prove that everyone who enters is a vegan, but they seem happy to serve all types of people. I guess not everything you hear on the news is true. Veganized is a great restaurant no matter what your relationship with animal products are. Most of their menu items are vegan takes on traditional dishes (burgers, Mac and cheese, etc.), and they usually do a good job of recreating the flavor and always do a good job of tasting killer. The mackin cheeze in particular is very tasty and I doubt anyone would guess it's vegan if they didn't know. I always recommend the hen of the woods appetizer when it's available. One of the servers told me that they receive it from a local forager, which I found fascinating. I bet you could get other mushrooms from them too if you catch my drift, but I did not confirm. The restaurant itself is charming, but I'm pretty sure the paintings on the second floor are haunted. Not in a bad way, just in a "you might see a ghost while dining here" way. read more

I came here because everything on their menu is plant-based, which I always appreciate, and many items sound so good. Perhaps a tad pricier than other places (even NYC) - I suppose probably because most of their food is also organic? Their default method of viewing the menu is their online menu that you access with a QR code, which I don't mind, but it sounds like they can provide physical menus if you prefer. My biggest critique while skimming over the menu was that some dishes don't really have much protein, and I knew I would be hungry quickly after eating them if I got them. I ordered the Mash-N-Gravy, which had a small piece of crusted tempeh as the protein, roasted carrots, truffle mashed potatoes, sauteed kale, and an herb gravy. It was pretty good, though a bit too salty. And the piece of tempeh was - again - small. The wait staff was very friendly, seemed very passionate about working there and the food there, and was able to take my order pretty quickly and brought my check shortly after I asked for it. The food took a little bit of time to come out, but it wasn't an unreasonable wait (but it was a little past the brunch/lunch peak time on a Sunday that I went). I would come back again and try some of their other items next time I'm in the area. read more

the service was great and the ambience is beautiful but the food is not that good. i got the max n cheese and i drove 40 min for it and it was meh. for $24 i don't want a small meh dish. the mushrooms were just roasted same for the broccoli, no actual flavoring and the mac and cheese was creamy yes but didn't taste that good. i thought about getting a slice of cake and thank god i saved myself the $18. don't think i would come again unless it was to sit and drink a cute cocktail! read more

FANTASTIC! I've tried vegan restaurants from the dive to the fancy in various cities, and this is among my favorites. The atmosphere is quirky and classy, the food is incredible, and the service was so nice! Our appetizer was the wood grilled mushrooms, which our server told us was their best seller. It was so simple and delicious. I had the Reuben, which was so incredible - the tempeh, cashew cream, beets, and kale - OMG so many of my favorite things, and it was just done soooo well. We split their rawberry (raw vegan) dessert, which was also delicious. I'd highly recommend this place. Creative, unique, and impressive! I wish I had more time in New Brunswick so I could've come back more than once. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Veganized - Falafull Sandwich - Vegan Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

First time I visited and this definitely won't be my last. Love the corner location. My friend and I sat upstairs in the open air where it's outside but covered from the shade, and we enjoyed the occasional breeze. The servers are SUPER ATTENTIVE. I cleaned my plate.... like seriously, I literally almost licked it clean... that's how good the food is! I ordered the Mex I Can as depicted. Definitely got my fill. That watermelon mimosa drink is a bangin addition and fresh on the palate. *Highly* recommend this place. Don't even get me started on the swanky digs in the venue... old decor is rather rustic chic with a lot of character. I'd love to rent out this place for a private event... so many decorative accents that make for good conversation pieces, both upstairs and down and in the restroom. The Veganized staff are the icing on the cake. Great service all around. I felt very welcome and can't wait to visit again to try to other items I was eyeing on the menu. read more

Fantastic fair and some creative dishes. You may also find here seasonal items such as Chicken-of-tge-woods breaded nuggets. The prices are a bit high so I reserve dining here to special occasions. I would consider the fare to be gourmet. It is tasty and spiced right. I wish condiments were not charged extra but if you want hot sauce or the like you will have to fork out another buck. Not the end of the world but one would hope that the slightly higher prices would include such things. The service there has always been stellar. The staff is courteous, accommodating, and friendly. The decore is simply amazing if you like classic ornate old world style. It is like a period piece with its many Tiffany chandeliers, ornate wood and metal work, and amazing collection of art nuvo mantle-top metal statues. The decore is modern though within that context as it incorporates stylized abstract paint work on the walls. read more

I am giving this place 4 stars because the service was great. The wait staff were so kind and knowledgeable. The decor was artsy antique, not sure if that makes sense but that's what I took from it. My partner is waaaayyy more adventurous than me when it comes to food and she raved about this place. "Off the Grill" was amazing! She loved her entree and I was just ehhh about hers and mine. The "bananarama and karat cake" were delicious and so moist with JUST the right portion. Ultimately, I personally would I return, but I know my partner would.. all about preference! read more

I've come to veganize several times with a friend who is vegan and my DSW program. The first time I came I was very skeptical as I don't typically eat vegan food, but wanting to support my friend and knowing they could definitely find something here that wasn't the one or one of two options on a menu I decided to give it a try. The inside has a cool atmosphere I'm pretty sure it was a sports bar before and so has this updated sports bar vibe, that's a little bit more chic and a little bit more old timey bar which in my opinion is a positive thing. The food I've ordered here has been the lentil salad and mushrooms typically. I have really enjoyed them every time I've gotten them. I love lentils and my wife doesn't, so I don't typically make them at home and so it was nice to find something here that I enjoyed eating. I'm also a fanatic for mushrooms so having it is an option as an appetizer or side was great. If you're vegetarian or vegan you've likely tried this place already but if you have any you definitely should. If you're an open eater you should definitely give this place a shot and you may be surprised like I was to find something you really enjoy. read more

Veganized is hands down the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to. It's a small place but such a cool vibe and in a nice spot in NB. The Rawzagna is my absolute favorite meal but the burger is so satisfying and filling. The servers are so sweet and are so personable and always make me smile. The fruit infused water is such a nice touch and is so refreshing. If I could give veganized more than 5 stars I would, love it so much. Edit: new location is so stunning. Still my favorite restaurant. Veganized has my heart for ever and ever. read more
