i loved this restaurant so much! i can't stop thinking about the wee dragon bowl my friend ordered. (oh i should have ordered one too.. although i loved the 3 item picnic plate i ordered... the norimaki with seitan was fantastic!) i kept stealing pieces of pumpkin and squash from my friend's plate. :) and i feel so inspired to make my own dragon bowls at home (minus the seaweed, i'm not very into sea vegetables, i don't mind them in sushi rolls). i asked our waiter what a regular sized dragon bowl was like because the wee dragon bowl was a lot of food.. he says it's served on the same plate but piled twice as high... that would be a satisfying meal... their dessert of the day was a pear hazlenut spelt crumble with maple-nut whipped cream. it was amazing!! i loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. my only possible complaint was the table we sat at.. it was right in the path of where people walked in and out of the kitchen. i actually think they shouldn't have a table there... the food was a good distraction though! :D

This restaurant is a good choice for vegans and vegetarians, and although I am neither and enjoy the food, it may be difficult for those not used to eating this way to enjoy. Certainly everyone should try their wonderfully fresh fruit juices though. The ambiance is nice for a neighborhood restaurant, but is nothing spectacular.

I've been to Anjelica's off and on over the past few years, and while I've never been wowed as some people seem to be, I don't believe it deserves a poor rating. At best it can be thoughtful health-conscious cooking, but at its worst it can be uninspired and tasteless. I've had both at Anjelica's and it has tended to be somewhat inconsistent. If you're going expecting something exemplary I do think you will be disappointed. If you're going looking for a solid, healthy veg alternative you probably won't be. Service also tends to be somewhat unpredictable, but overall I do think people looking for veg cuisine could do worse (and maybe better).

GREAT vegan restaurant! The most expensive item on the menu is $16 and this is for the daily specials. Most items range between $6-$10, which is EXTREMELY reasonable for NYC. This place is designed for vegans and those that appreciate vegan food and a healthy lifestyle. (So those who thought the food was "bland" probably were just craving something deep fried and covered in salt and oil.) The daily specials and desserts are the best thing on the menu. You will definitely find something you like here but it may take some serious hunting through the many options in the menu. The staff is extremely helpful and knowlegable in this sense. Sometimes yes, the wait is long, but it's worth it. Remember to bring cash (they dont take credit cards and for a VERY good reason) and an open mind. You'll leave happy, and with money leftover. Pros: friendly staff, no cell phones Cons: one bathroom, crowded seating

Every time I eat at Angelica's I feel like a million bucks after. The food, service, and atmosphere is great. It's my staple restaurant to bring "out of towners" because it's cool enough for my punk friends, but it's not too freakish for the more conservative. Also, the communal table is a great idea for when you want to go for lunch or dinner on your own. This is my favorite restaurant in NYC, and I am a very picky eater. I have taken my non-vegetarian friends there many times and they all asked to go back. That says a lot! You must try Angelica's Kitchen! Oh, and they only take cash, so run to the ATM before dining there.

People rave about this place, but the food was only decent and the ambience was horrible. On a blistering New York City evening (over 90 degrees even after sunset) they had the doors closed and the fans off, resulting in a sauna environment that hardly encouraged healthy appetites. The lemonade was warm, the seitan enchilada slimy. The staff was flaky and inattentive. Overall, I'd recommend it only if you're a strict vegan and haven't scouted out other decent places in the city.

I was really looking forward to eating at Angelica Kitchen when visiting NYC because of all the great reviews I've read. The wait was quite long and I must say that the food was pretty good but not as good as I thought it was going to be. I might have just ordered the wrong dish? PROS: Solid vegetarian restaurant CONS: Long waits

....take them to Angelica's and ask them what's missing! Their answer will invariably be, absolutely nothing. This place is an institution for a reason....namely, the freshest, tastiest, most guilt-free menu on the planet. A little pricier than most veggie restaurants, but worth it if only for the dessert menu (as a wheat-sensitive, diabetic vegan, there aren't too many places I can even LOOK at desserts, and this may be the only one where I can actually EAT what they serve me....AND ask for seconds!) Favourite post-workout protein load - the three-bean chili. Pros: diverse, vegan menu, friendly staff, great for kids Cons: cramped seating

Angelica's Wee Dragon Bargain dish is a big, delicious, healthy meal that I HAVE to have every so often! Service here has always been friendly. This is one of my favorite veggie restaurants in the city; I've been coming here for years. I strongly recommend the Angelica cornbread (the dense, wheatless kind) with tahini spread. Yum! Pros: Reasonable priced, Healthy, Good menu selection Cons: , Can be a wait

There needs to be more healty food options in the city. However, places like this seem to think they can charge whatever they want. I, for one, am never wasting my money here again. The food is bland is simple and the prices are extravagant. Pros: healthy food Cons: , bland food
