This place is the bomb! It never disappoints and my husband, who is in no way vegan, will always jump at the chance to eat here with me.

This place is the bomb dot com! Luis the bartender is very cool! He suggested the best cocktails! My only regret is i didn't take pictures, food was so good I forgot! Can't believe it's vegan! Will return soon !! read more

This is a great place for non-vegans too! Their "cheeses" and stuff are excellent and everything is flavorful and satisfying. The menu is more creative than it sounds and offers a nice variety. Ingredients and spirits are expertly curated for a fresh, original experience. The decor of rich wood puts one in the mind of a quaint boarding house and is decorated with original art. This is a great place for a date or a bite at the bar. A real gem. read more

I'm far from a vegan so I come here for the drinks the Gold being my favorite. I do order their fries as they are absolutely amazing. The staff are generally very friendly and provide good service. Nice atmosphere inside where the downstairs area has a bar and few seating tables. More seating upstairs and even an outdoor section which is great to sit during nice weather. It's across from the courthouse so easier to find but not in a super busy area. My cons for this place are that it does close early. They don't want to be that party scene, which I completely get, but you can still have a low-key vibe with slightly later hours. Honestly, that's not really an issue for me but just a heads up for night owls interested in checking it out. But they are very pricey. It's prevented me from getting their vegan meals since I can't justify paying that much for a meal I'm not crazy about. And even though their drinks are AMAZING they are priced higher than many upscale bars in NYC without the same bartender service you get there. Let me elaborate. The drinks are alcohol mixed with pre-made juices. The juices may be fresh but aside from mixing there isn't much of a show. There's a certain craftsmanship you get from the bartenders from those bars that make drinks from scratch (like the one right across the street: Clydz). You kind of lose that luster when you use pre-made drinks. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out though. read more

Top vegan restaurant. I would actually argue they are the best in the country. That's how good the food is. Almost Everything is made in-house and the owner is passionate, innovative, and beats to his own drum. Idk about you but I would rather give my money to someone who puts their heart and soul into the food they serve. Everything is organic - this is not a joint that says they are "organic" and only their ketchup is. Even their waitstaff wears organic T-shirt's lol This place walks the talk. Even if you aren't into "vegan" food just give it a try. It's really one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. read more

Mindblowingly delicious (but expensive) vegan food!! I came here with friends after an exam and it was the perfect comfort meal. First off, the atmosphere is so unique. The decorations are reminiscent of something from Morrocco, with opulent ambient lamps and patterned walls. It feels upscale, though the menu mainly consists of vegan versions of fast food items. I got the Mash-n-Gravy, which had extremely creamy potatoes, flavorful and crunchy kale, and a delicious savory sauce/gravy (you wouldn't know that it wasn't made from beef stock!). The only part of the dish I wasn't impressed by was the tempeh, which is supposed to taste like meat but tasted more like cardboard. The dish could have done without the tempeh and still been filling and satisfying. My friend got Veganized's infamous Mackin Cheese, which is made from cashew cheese and is even creamier than real cheese. The mushrooms on top were so smokey that I ended up eating all of them even though I normally hate mushrooms. The only disappointing dish was the Hot Diggity Dog, which is made from carrots. The "dog" itself was dry and tasted like bread, so it was basically bread on a bun. Not a fan. Veganized has a very unique cocktail list. We got three cocktails and enjoyed all of them! My only major complaint (besides the whopping bill of $30 per person!!) was the poor service. Our waitress was very nice and patient, but the table next to us had to wait over half an hour to get their bill. Overall, definitely would come back and try everything on the menu! If all vegan food tasted this good, I would never eat meat again. read more

We loved this funky little place with a hippie vibe and GREAT tasting food. We had a lunch here on a summer Friday so it wasn't as crowded. Difficult to decide from the enticing menu but opted for the deluxe veggie burger ($16) served with your choice of side: sweet potato wedges, crispy French fries, or simple salad. Other sandwiches and menu items are $12 without the side. Burger was supposed to be on a sweet potato bun - not sure what this bun was but it was pillowy soft. Also served with special sauce (I didn't really detect this flavor as it was a thin swipe on the bun), sautéed onions, lettuce, and two small tomato slices. I opted for sweet potato wedges which came with a really delicious dipping sauce - they are not fried. We also had the falafel sandwich which was good but not like the traditional falafel since it was baked and had a different toppings/sauce. We shared the date pecan carrot cake ($9) with vanilla sauce (!!), cardamom sauce, and mint sauce - this was really delicious. Great service - very friendly. Parked in Church St parking garage ($5 for up to 2 hours) although there is metered on-street parking - difficult to come by at lunch hour. Lots of choices on the menu (salads, soup, sandwiches, appetizers, and desserts) so we will definitely go back to try more. read more

Great flavors! It was my first time eating at a vegan restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the flavors here. Veganized offers creative dishes that are savory and unique. The general vibe of the store was also very comfortable and I would recommend as a nice date spot. However, the food is definitely a little bit on the pricier side for the servings and quality. A great once-in-awhile spot! read more

Food was great. Pizza and sweet potato fries were made perfectly. Curbside service helped when hard to find parking for a pickup.

I've been coming here for 7 years and it's been perfect every single time. I love this place, it is home to me. This has helped my vegan journey and made it so amazing. I celebrate birthdays here and vegan anniversaries. I am so grateful for this location. The food is amazing and slaps every single time. The servers are amazing and kind and always willing to help. I have never had the pancakes before over the 7 years I've been coming here and it's been such an awesome experience !! Definitely gonna shout out Jill and Dan .. so kind so sweet so amazing! read more

Always a five star meal. I couldn't love this place anymore my normal Saturday night go to when possible. From the quality of the food and presentation , friendliness of the staff and customers Great vibes and attention to detail throughout the entire space with the decorating It's a multi sensory orgasm And sometimes they do crusted oysters mushrooms, as an appetizer. It's not on the menu, but ask, I like it with their Caesar dressing. read more

Good sized portions. The falaful wrap was delicious. My husband enjoyed the deluxe burger with sweet potato fries. Great vegan options.

Sooooo I'm not a vegan but i do enjoy eating healthy. I came here with a group of about 7 people. We sat upstairs. Drinks are quite pricey - about $7 for their bottled drinks (fresh squeezed or probiotic) I ordered the burger. It was good for what it was. I am no expert on vegan food but it was good- not great. Doesn't compare to a meat burger but definitely a healthier option. The fries were great. I do again feel like it was a bit pricey. My other friends had the same thoughts on their meals. It was OK, but not something we would eat on a regular basis. Metered parking on street. read more

I love this place. I've been 4 times now and every time I leave fully satisfied and wanting to come back for me. My last two visits have been for Sunday Brunch (they serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday's). Each time I've ordered all three three things on the lunch menu... tofu scramble, the biscuit and the pancakes with chocolate chunks. I give all three of these dishes 5 stars. The pancakes are some of the best vegan pancakes I've tried and the biscuit is just as rich and comforting. The tofu scramble freakishly resembles scramble eggs and comes with sweet potato wedges that are too good for words. The service here is always delightful. You walk up the stairs and are seated omg he second floor. It is a tiny dining area but I don't mind an intimate setting. The decor is vibrant and fun and full of wonderful antique-like decorations and lighting. The staff is always pleasant and are quick to attend to my dining needs. At the end of your visit you pay downstairs. At this point I'm always confused as to where I should be leaving the tip but I usually just include the tip in with the cash and tell whoever rings me up to keep the change. The servers, I've only ever seen two staffed at a time work together at accommodating to all the tables so I assume the tips are divided equally among them anyway. Overall, some of the best vegan food I've had in the state of NJ and it's located in the heart of New Brunswick where in walking distance you find all sorts of restaurants, shops, and bars. Be warned parking can be scarce. Anticipate circling around the area a little while before finding somewhere to park. read more

We ordered here for takeout for dinner one evening while dining with my brother who is vegan. While everyone enjoyed their food, I'd say that the level of quality is tipped by the cost/portion size of the entrees/appetizers. If I could break down the score I would give food quality a 3.5 but it knocks down to a three due to the cost for the portion size you receive. We ordered a variety of items from the menu from entrees to appetizers but nothing really blew me away and I would not likely come back unless I specifically had a vegan friend ask to go back. Overall, a solid three stars and I'm told there's a nice outdoor patio to eat in if you'd like to dine at the restaurant. read more

This place is amazing! The service was outstanding and service was phenomenal! Alzeir was a true gentleman. The Mac and cheese with broccoli, the lentil salad and the crusted curry sandwich was so darn good! We ate our dessert first which was carrot cake and lemon cheesecake with blueberries. We'll be back real soon! read more

I have eaten a vegan diet for over 20+ years. My first time trying Veganized. The esthetic is nice, sat downstairs ar bar for drinks (added star for vegan bar)! Sat outside for food. We had: Moroccan Grill app- Very good I love mushrooms Mini Mac- Just okay Fries - can't go wrong King trumpet sandwich -Ok (not a $15 sandwich) My dinner date (non vegan) had: Mash and gravey. They didn't like. I picked on it. Tempeh was dry like a cardboard hockey puck. I have eaten and prepared vegan meals for over 20yrs. I appreciate fresh, not processes ingredients. That's a plus for veganized. The execution and flavors needs some work. Would I recommend? Sure. Would I go back? Sure I would give another try. Just keep in mind the menu has some misses and its not a cheap place to just "try". Maybe I experienced an off night. read more

Veganized - Mushroom appetizer and plain fries - Vegan Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Decided to try Veganized for a late lunch by myself . It's always nice to go with someone so you can try a bunch of things. So this place is in the heart of downtown New Brunswick. Actually a block or two from train station. Street parking sucks although I was able to snag a space - and for a buck I was able to stay about 50 minutes. I did see a parking garage on church street between george and spring street so that's another option. So the place is small. Downstairs when you walk in is basically for take out and eating on the run. There are a few stools and a bar table at the window. Walk upstairs and there is a small dining area that has about 11 tables . One Nice big window on one wall with great natural light. I was greeted immediately by staff who was friendly. They serve fruit infused water.... I tried the " Mackin cheese". They give a good serving- it's very creamy . It says it's a sweet potato truffle cashew cream. Pretty good. I'm a carnivore also so I normally don't like a lot of "vegan cheese" but this was pretty good. Does have a little after taste. The dish came with some flattened mushrooms and broccoli rabe. I had to get a to- go box to take a lot of it home I also wanted to try the chocolate peanut butter tort because chocolate/ peanuts butter is one of my favorites....so I got a piece to go. It was eh. Came with a small container of raspberry and whip cream like mixture. They didn't give you a check upstairs. So I when downstairs and paid at the counter. I'm in between a 3 and 4 with this place but went with the 4 because it's my 1st time and the staff was super nice. read more

Vegan lifestyle or not Veganized is a place to visit at least once. I tried out this place prior to even ever thinking I would even attempted to go vegan but when I was vegan for a few months this place was one of my most frequented places. Not only because of its all vegan menu, it is also quite delicious. Their Mackin' Cheeze priced at $18 was an expensive habit. And I don't know how they make the smoked mushrooms that goes on top of it taste so good but I've attempted to recreate them at home but have failed many, many times. I always ask for extra mushrooms instead of the broccoli when I place my order. I just wish it wasn't so pricey and came in a smaller serving. I really can't finish it in one sitting so I usually have to save it for a couple meals. I don't prefer have to eat it again reheated but you gotta do it when the other half is $9. Lol. Their Deluxe Burger is also a favorite. Good size portion. I brought my friend here once and the next weekend she brought her boyfriend back just to try this burger. I also recommend their Philly flatbread. The old location (Spring Street) was weird when it came to dining in because when you first walked in it was just the pickup/paying/waiting/bathroom/kitchen area and you would have to walk upstairs to be seated. You could never tell from the outside if it was packed or not. Hopefully the new location is better with that because parking downtown New Brunswick is a terror and a couple times after searching forever and finally finding parking we hard to wait quite a bit for seating. Service was on the slower side for a place that size in my opinion (based on their old location) but servers have been overall pretty nice and accommodating once they get to you. They didn't come around too often but I think they also handled the to go orders downstairs. I haven't had a chance to try their weekend brunch or check out their new location yet but I look forward to it soon. I'll be the girl eating brunch and ordering the Mackin' Cheeze to go. read more

One of my favorite all vegan restaurants! I've had all their sandwiches and with their homemade bread, you can't go wrong. Also, all their desserts I found to be the perfect balance as in not excessively sweet. Besides their sandwiches and desserts, their mushrooms are fantastic. read more

Veganized has moved locations (a few hundred feet down the street) and added to their wonderful menu. I think this deserves an update. My original comments still stand. The restaurant is very unique. The new upstairs dining area is reminiscent of a historic hotel. There's also the option to eat outside on the balcony. Strange, obscure art still adorns the walls. The staff continues to be polite, friendly, and provides quick service. The presentation is still on-point. All of the food I've tried thus far has been nothing short of amazing. I continue to recommend the Mac and Cheese, the falafel wrap, the Caesar salad, and the triple cooked fries. A new addition to their menu and something that will likely become my usual order is their delicious Margherita pizza. The pizza has a perfect, woody char on the base and crust that impart a subtle smoky flavor. The sauce is beyond incredible. The cheese, which is created from cashews, is fluffy, creamy, and delicious. The pesto also provides additional flavors to the pie. This is perhaps the best vegan pizza I've ever experienced. After you've enjoyed your main course, you simply must order one of their desserts. My favorite is the chocolate peanut butter torte, but they're all great picks. Whether you're following a plant-based/vegan diet or you're just looking for some excellent food: Veganized is a must-try. read more

Stopped for a quick takeout lunch, so glad I did! I wanted something raw, so I got the rawvioli - it was incredible! Crunchy, creamy, & smooth as velvet ! I know it's an appetizer, but I couldn't stop! Saffron cream? I'd say saffron dream!!!! I also got the simple salad that WAS simple, but wonderful . I also must add that I was warmly greeted by a friendly staff member as soon as I walked in . That's very important to me as an introvert. Can't wait to return for sit-down lunch! read more

I'm not vegan but I'm looking for reasons to at least eat more vegetarian however after several visits here over the years I never come away inspired. The atmosphere is relaxed and the interior has colorfully painted ceilings, funky artwork and lightning that contrasts with the historical nature of the building itself evidenced by the exposed brick walls, wood flooring and old wood bar downstairs. The youthful staff are a diverse friendly, layed back creatives who ask things like "is everything moving along here ok?" as they walk by our table. The menu has a good variety of vegan options that as described do inspire one's palate. I ordered the soup of the day which was pureed sweet potato with pieces of chic peas. I could tell it has quality ingredients was freshly prepared but had zero flavor. My dish the "Mex-I-Can" was a small brick of polenta over a plate of black beans with pico de gallo and a dollop of guacamole. This looked great on paper and artfully arranged in the plate but was luke warm when served and again failed in the flavor department. My date ordered the lentil burger which had more going for it in texture and taste but while eating it the patty kept slipping out of the bun and became kind of a sloppy mess to eat. Prices were high and I don't mind paying more for a meal but not if what is served doesn't justify the expense which is the case here. I want to like this place and be more vegetarian but alas may need to find inspiration elsewhere. read more

I just cannot rave enough abt this place. I've been frequenting this amazing spot since 2019 and they have been absolutely consistent in wowing me with flavors, textures, and variety. The entire menu from breakfast, to lunch, to dinner, and the raw options just absolutely SLAPS. Okay? Even their drinks are delicious! My favorite combo is the Roma pizza with fries and a pear cider. Just. YES. And a close second is the Squash-it flat bread. No matter if you're vegan or not you're going to enjoy your food. And I haven't even touched on the service! Across the board, superb service. Over the phone and in person, they treat you well and they're conscientious abt how they package your food and what they pack it in. Then I'd all that weren't enough the ambiance of the restaurant itself is like that show, "Cheers," from back in the day and when I walk in it dooooes feel like they're always clad I came. Just a 10 outta 10 kinda place. read more

If you're plant-based, you won't have to scan the menu for things you can eat since the whole menu is vegan -- it's such a luxury to be able to eat everything off the menu! Everyone I've brought here has loved their meal - so if you want to impress your non-vegan friends, I'm confident they'll find something they'll really like. I would recommend one of their sandwiches since those are my favorite (especially the Angelica and the Barbie-que). The atmosphere is fun and eclectic, the waitstaff is friendly and attentive, and they offer some really yummy cocktails. read more

My first vegan restaurant experience and it definitely exceeded expectations. It's easy to miss because it's tucked away behind the busy streets of New Brunswick. Parking isn't ideal but it's close enough to the train station that it's not a deal breaker. Walking in, you immediately see the counter and kitchen. You have to head up the stairs to be seated in their dining area which is limited. Upon sitting down, you're given complementary strawberry, cucumber and mint water which was especially refreshing. Definitely recommend the "Off the Grill" and RAWvioli appetizers. Full of flavor and beautifully presented. Really opened up my eyes to vegan cuisine and would return again! read more

Veganized - RAWvioli - Vegan Near Me - New Brunswick, New Jersey

Ok, so over the past few years I've been to this place and have tried an array of things so I will try my best to give an accurate rundown: The Deluxe Burger -Still the best thing I've tasted on their menu, it's seriously delicious. I even got the gluten free version and it was still pretty good. Just keep in mind to load up on sauces as you will need them because the burger is pretty dry when it's gluten free. Hot Diggity Dog -VERY dry and tasteless. The only thing they seemed to have gotten right when it comes to this is the sour kraut. Even the baked beans that come with it...there is no hint of sweetness at all which to me is a classic taste when it comes to hotdogs and baked beans. RawZagna - Good, not great and definitely not very filling...especially given the price, they should add a house salad to this or something. On the plus side, it does taste very fresh. Mackin Cheeze - Still not a fan. Still tasteless to me. Lion's Mane Sandwich - Eh! Just okay. Ended up just eating the mushrooms out of the sandwich. Cheesecakes - these are good but the slices are so tiny for $12 Brunch Menu Flaky biscuit - Good, small portion, not filling therefore not worth the price. Pancakes - Eh! read more

I was looking for healthy food and I found Veganized. I loved the ambiance in the first place. It made me feel like in one of those French old restaurants full of vintage decor.

This place is out of this world delicious. What they do with non mock meat ingredients is incredible. We ordered the two mushrooms appetizers. They tasted unreal! So flavorful! They should make these into tacos. They tasted better than any mock meat I've had! I ordered the mash n gravy! So good! Such a good portion For dessert we ordered both the chocolate peanut butter torte and the bananarama. The chocolate peanut butter tart I was rich and decadent. The bananarama though I did not expect it! The combination of mango and berries. It just tastes so tropical and light. I highly recommend it. The servers are nice and helpful. They can get busy but remain attentive. My only suggestion is that outdoor seating should probably have some heating. read more

Monday was my first time trying this restaurant. My coworker and I were raving about it since Monday. We decided to come back today but it may not have been the best choice. So he ordered a pizza but received a flat bread pizza not the same size. I ordered a falafel wrap but it came with a side of blonde hair. So after both of our orders had to be sent back to the kitchen I expected possibly an apology from the manager or chef or heck even the waitress. That didn't happen so then I thought maybe they'll comp my meal or the two appetizers we ordered something as a good customer service gesture but that didn't happen. When the bill came I paid it and even though I thought it should have been handled differently I still tipped. Sucks because we thought we found a nice spot that we could become regulars at but tonight put a different taste in my mouth literally read more

Amazing food , great service and relaxing ambiance! I have been a regular since they opened.

This is probably going to be one of my favorite places to review...ever hahah. I (and i can not stress this enough..) LOVE this place! I've been vegan for the past 6 years now and let me tell ya, this place exceeded all of my expectations. My boyfriend and i came here for the first time, probably a little over 2 years ago and we find ourselves coming back probably 3 times a month. (he's not vegan but hes the one who always wants to come back for more hahah) First off, you walk in and you instantly feel like you're in a positive environment. The servers are genuinely the sweetest, loveliest people you will ever meet and not only that but (how cool is this..) the head chef is also the owner and hes the one who hand painted the restaurant himself from what we've been told! If this is your first time coming here, you HAVE to try: - off the grill mushrooms (SO DELICIOUS! They have that open fire cooked steak taste to them) - Mackin Cheese ; if you love mac and cheese this will rock your taste buds (and then you'll probably order a dish to take home) - and...everything else on the menu hahah They offer a vegan brunch on the weekends which is lovely! Sometime is May, they re supposed to open up a 2nd veganized right up the street from the original and the original is supposed to get turned into a vegan pizzeria which is going to be super amazing because the new location will have plentyyyyyy more spots to sit in. Only downside - i wish they had more locations!!! read more
