Vegans Delight

I love Vegans Delight. When I went to HS nearby I never saw it open and thought it was closed… until many years later when I saw that it was, in fact, an operating establishment.
It’s a nice and welcoming place with convenience foods and a hot food bar. My (omni) mom is a huge fan of the fish patty and I love the jerk tofu, it’s flaky and the right amount of spice. The popular patties: ackee, jerk chicken and fish as well as the soups, sell out really early, so be aware if you want to try one. I didn’t know that the patties were also offered frozen, I think that’s a good thing, because my waistline would be crying. If you ever go for breakfast, try the Multi-​Grain porridge, so good.
It’s more of an Ital place than a strictly vegan restaurant, because they do sell honey and honey-​containing products, but Trisha (the really nice cashier) assured me that all the cooked food items are vegan. Woo.
Whenever I am in the neighborhood they will always have my patronage.

Found this place on Unilocal!It’s a little spot but good to have something good in the Bronx. Had the vegan spare ribs, they were amazing!!! Everyone was so nice and helpful.

One of the best vegan spots I’ve been to… and the best vegan spot in the Bronx… I wish there were more places like this in our borough… I wish to somehow help you guys create more business, to provide better health options for our people… oh and I wish you guys stayed open later lol

Simply put, Vegans Delight is an oasis in a desert where decent vegetarian and vegan options are few and far between.
The service is very helpful and personable. I just finished my first lunch special here and it well exceeded my expectations.
They have a number of hot entrees available for lunch and dinner and they are all tasty, Jamaican style. They can certainly hold their own against even the best hot food in the driving area such as Fairway and «International».
They also have a decent selection of beverages and nutritional supplements.
Anyone in the area, especially those with vegan and vegetarian diets, should definitely visit Vegan’s Delight.
In addendum, they have their own parking spaces which make visits even more convenient!

Yesterday was the first time here. I love the food! Small place but the food was great.

I’ve only been here a few times so far but their vegan patties are outstanding! It’s nice to have a satisfying substitute for my Golden Krust addiction. You can buy the patties fresh or frozen and they have everything from soy to «chicken» to callalou.

Tried the bean soup and a salad. It was ok. Not running back anytime soon. Only will go if in the area.

Good take out vegan food, omg!!! excellent Ackee patties, also good service

Fantastic. We ordered the large breakfast for $ 11.00, and it was plenty for two people. Really delicious vegan food with a West Indian character and spice. The kitchen was really clean (I peeked), and the man who waited on us was great — he put together such a nice mix of their breakfast offerings — kale, tofu scramble, white yams, seitan stew — really delicious, fresh and healthy!
Don’t miss the cakes — vegan carrot cake was moist, flavorful and really satisfying.
They also have a very nice selection of healthy groceries — I’d be in here every day if I lived in the neighborhood :)

Solid Afro-​Caribbean ital cuisine. They also have a diverse selection of organic/​homeopathic boxed cereals, snacks, and juices, a quality juice bar, a variety of roots and bitters based drinks, and vegan pastries. If you are in the North East Bronx and have a hankering for healthy food of the west indian variety in particular, and or in need of freshly prepared organic/​vegan prepackaged foods, drinks, pastries, and snacks check this place out. One last note, if you are buying a meal know that this place is strictly take out, and unless you are willing to park your rear on the side walk outside this joint there is no place to sit.

Good stuff.

What can I say that Cassandra hasn’t said? I heard about vegan delight through their cakes. My personal trainer order the red velvet and it was sooooo freaking good. I finally stopped by. The setup is like a small grocery store with take out food and a juice bar. The food is the standard Caribbean fare: rice and peas, stewed/​curried mock meats, potato salad, etc. I definitely plan to order a cake. They also cater.

I really like this place — it’s one of the few places that actually carries ackee patties. I LOVE ackee but usually I only find it on menus, coupled with saltfish. Ackee is quite expensive (I’ve seen 14oz cans of it go for $ 7 or $ 8!) so I think that is what deters restaurants from serving it and customers from buying it. The ackee patties here run $ 3.50, which is significantly more expensive than the $ 2 callaloo, peas, tofu, or other patties, but I think they are worth it.
I also had some food from the hot bar last time and it was pretty similar to the hot bars in all the Bronx Jamaican places — curried tofu, lots of faux meats, white pasta (similar to Chinese lo mein), and rice. I went with the BBQ tofu, which was good, the potato salad, which was also really good (so glad they have a vegan, mayo-​based salad), and the eggplant, which was okay.
The store is pretty well stocked with all sorts of canned, packaged, and frozen foods, plus lots of teas, protein powers, and vitamins. Like most small health food stores, the prices are a little high but it’s the only option in the area so I am very glad they are here and offer so many items.
NOTE: There is no dining area. You can only get your food to go.

Caribbean Vegan Paradise.
Juice bar and Frozen Food section as well as Vegetarian products like veggie burgers, organic pastas. Super nice helpful staff and lots of street parking available.
What calls me here is the excellent hot food takeout available with a changing variety of dishes, Ital stew, Eggplant mélange, Pepper «steak», to name a few. Small, Medium and Large portions up to $ 11 in cost. Vegan desserts too!
