Strictly Roots Restaurant, NYC

Fellow Vegans & Good Food Connoisseurs the world-over,

This entry is dedicated to my favorite vegan eatery: Strictly Roots Restaurant. If anyone finds themselves anywhere near the NYC, do yourself a favor, travel Uptown to Harlem and check out this world renowned vegan oasis.  See address:
2058 Adam Clayton Powell Junior Boulevard
New York, NY 10027-5402
(212) 864-8699

Atmosphere
Unlike most trendy vegan spots nowadays, this eatery is low on frills but extremely high on spice & tastiness. The slogan imprinted on the wall says it all "We serve nothing that walks, swims or flies", which always makes this vegan smile every time that I read it. I don't know if the slogan is really that catchy or just the fact that when I'm there, I never have to ask the question which all vegans hate to ask before a meal; "Are you sure this is vegan?" lol

Food
Rest assured every item in Strictly Roots is vegan.  Since the cuisine is Caribbean in style, one can always count on a culinary explosion of taste & texture laced with heavy exotic vegetables and spices. They serve everything from savory soups, fresh baked pastries, to full course lunch and dinner entrees.

Prices
I've found the prices to be extremely modest and the serving sizes to be even more generous. I've patronized the restaurant with my family of four for dinner and made out with a final bill below $40 (including tip). Feeding a family of four, excellent vegan cuisine in NYC for under $40 is a rarity at best.

Rating

Given the overall combination of food, prices and a low-key atmosphere. Strictly Roots scores 5 out of 5 vegetables, the highest rating on the V.W.C. scale. We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to any and everyone. Try it out and let us know your thoughts.

Happy Vegan Living!!!
