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!

Warm food and warm conversation, both with great flavor. It’s no wonder this gem has withstood 22 years. Simple but delicious, it’s so refreshing to find clean and tasty food!! Bring all your friends
Hopefully you get a chance to meet Vladimir, too. 💫

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!

It was my first time going to this place as a vegan and probably my last. The food was great and the server I had was wonderful. However, the owners mom randomly comes in and starts to talk about how bad the employees were doing and honestly in my opinion started unnecessary drama. Which in my years of doing customer service work, should never happen in front of the customers themselves. With the drama that was started, my server's attitude was completely diminished and in which made me feel very uncomfortable for her and myself in continuing my experience in the restaurant. When I went to talk to the mother of the owner, she had a bunch of excuses why she did what she did, and tried offering me a free desert. What I think she should've offered me is that she would no longer do this in the future to ensure the best customer service for anyone that stepped into the space. Because, this was not thought of, I simply told her that I wouldn't want to come back to this place because of this situation and if I were that it would only be because of the server. However, because I felt like all of this could have been simply avoided by holding somewhat of a staff meeting after customers were gone or on another day I don't think that I will be going back. Because all in all the reflection of the business was brought down by how the mother of the owner Julia handled herself in the space. It made me feel as if she needed to show her power, but whilst not understanding that the comfort of the customers come first, and didn't even take a moment to realize that there were others waiting to be served while she was making one of the staff members cry.

Love love love this place. Great food with a lovely atmosphere. Our waitress was so sweet and patient while we looked through the menu. There were too many things I wanted to order! :). My sister and I finished our meal with a large pot of tea. We never felt rushed. I would recommend this restaurant to veggies, vegans and omnivores alike! 5 gold stars!

Just tried Organic Grill for the first time over the weekend after hearing about their transition to veganism. It was probably the best meal I’ve had in NYC!!!!
It’s a perfect spot for brunch. We didn’t even have to wait for a table!
Do not pass up the waffleburger and the “Benny and the Florentines”
Seriously, this meal really wowed me.
P.s- we were two vegans and two omnivore. By the end of the meal they were like “let’s sign up for the rewards card.” ���

The black bean burger in a lettuce wrap was very tastey. The potatoes that came with it were just right and not salty. My husband chose the kale salad and added salmon. He enjoyed it alot. He also had the choclate peanut butter cake which was very good. A great first time experience. Will be going back. Our server Chelsea was friendly and answered all out question.
