The Organic Grill

This is the IT place for vegan food in the city! Everything from the loaded fries to the cookies and cream cheesecake was delicious. By the end of my lunch, my tummy was full and my plates were locked clean. Maris was very sweet and made our experience all the better. I cannot stress enough how SCRUMPTIOUS everything was. Coming back here every day for the rest of my life!

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I’m a long-time vegan and I eat at every vegan cafe/restaurant/market I can find in cities everywhere from Hawaii to Europe and I’ve never had food like this. It was truly delicious, inventive, filling, rich, and (best of all) cruelty-free. Vegans and non-vegans alike will love this spot. A must-eat in NYC.

I'm currently on a very restricted diet for autoimmunity, and that can make travel really difficult. I was in New York this past weekend and did a Google search for restaurants that might fit my protocol. (Autoimmune Protocol/AIP) The Organic Grill popped up, and even though I'm not vegan (and my friend was reluctant to even attempt eating at a vegan joint) We gave it a shot. Not only did I find food that met my strict protocol, it also happened to be the best meal I ate all weekend. My friend (sort of a meat and potatoes kind of guy) Also really enjoyed his meal! The service was good (decent, quirky, and amusing!) Ambiance was chill and the vibes were good. I wish there was one in my city - I'll definitely be back!

YUM! plant-based eater here!! I popped into this place for dinner and was greeted by the most lovely owners. Dinner was super easy to order, and the food was DELICIOUS. My food was piping hot and ready for takeout in under 10 minutes. Definitely pricey but I was very satisfied and the portion sizes were decent! So yummy :)

How did I only discover this place now!? The food tasted so great and the flavor make it feels like having a homemade meal at someone's home. The specials apparently vary every week. We had stuffed roasted acorn and chili (lentils) from the specials menu and the oyster mushroom OG tender from the regular menu. All were super delicious. Also had the refined sugar free raspberry chocolate cheesecake which was AMAZING! Could tell they use high quality ingredients. The owner talked to us and is very passionate about sticking to using organic and quality food. Highly recommend!

This restaurant has moved to w 3rd st & 5th Ave, jic you’ve been to the old location. At the old location, I really enjoyed the cauliflower sandwich with marinara sauce and would highly recommend that option. For my most recent visit, I had the shawarma sandwich, which is made with seitan. The shawarma is not in the regular menu and was one of the daily specials. The seitan is marinated very well and has a nice chewy texture and savory taste. While the sandwich was very delicious, it is not something that I would regularly order due to it being a more expensive menu option. But if you are looking to splurge on a vegan dish and try something new, then you should definitely order the shawarma if you see it on the menu!

I really, really loved this place! Their vegan menu is extensive and creative, and it was incredibly difficult to decide what to order. I finally opted for the Green Machine burger, which was exceptionally tasty and not heavy or greasy at all. They also have a drink menu which includes beer, wine, kombucha, juices, etc, and tasty desserts (even some raw options). Our server was friendly and efficient, and prices are reasonable in light of the quality of the ingredients. 10/10; will return!
