Jungle Cafe - Brooklyn

Wow! Wow! Wow! Firstly, I am NOT a vegan. My experience with vegan foods has left me with bad taste in my mouth (pun intended but this place it?s worth a special trip! It was recommended to me by Sofia at Anima Mundi Herbals (Noble St. . When she said?vegan? I almost didn?t finish listening but a voice inside said ?try again? and I am so glad I did! The smells when I walked inwere intoxicating and unlike any other restaurant. I had a hard time choosing but ended up ordering the Baja Oyster Tacos withb?nut squash soup as the side and a large Clean Green juice?oh, and a pumpkin donut to go. The flavors were incredible! Layeredand nuanced like a fine wine. The crisp and crunch of the fried oyster mushrooms, as well as the juicy tenderness inside was sodelectably satisfying. I probably looked like a caveman eating his first meal but I didn?t care. It was definitely one of thebest meals I?ve have anywhere in a very very long time, and being a foodie, I don?t say that often. The green juice wasperfectly balanced, clean, and oh so delicious! Not too bitter, not too sweet, just right. The cafe itself has a cozy feel withnook like sitting areas for groups in the front windows, plants and artwork throughout. I forgot the name of the girl who waitedon me (agh! sorry! but she was delightful and friendly, and super helpful! She told me they have a buffet every day and thetheme of the food changes daily. This place is for sure a go back for me, a destination spot for food rather than anI?m in the area stop. It is so worth the trip! Take that from a non vegan! (Yes, the pumpkin donut! I?m salivating typing aboutits soft, moist, perfect balance of sweet and pumpkin. Agh! I have to go back!

For $36 I got what is pictured. The burrito is the size of half a regular burrito. Calufilower bites $13 for 6 pieces I ordered through uber eats with tip it cost over $51 but seems like not worth ordering from here being how over priced it. Mindyou the food has no meat. Its just vegetables and tofu how can it cost more then a non-veg meal?

I'm not an idealistic optimist ? I don't hand out 5 star reviews indiscriminately and unceasingly. But this place was fantastic! I could hardly believe how helpful and friendly the cashier/front receptionist was. Everything from arrangement to service istop-notch (and if you're a vegan ? look no further for a beautiful date-night venue!

Cozy warm cheery vegan restaurant. They have two window round tables with seating on cushions. A very nice touch. Rest of tables are the usual chair seating. Had the burrito bowl which was delicious and had saitan and beans (good amounts of protein).There's a buffet option and also menu. They serve tea in a pot. Also a very nice touch.

The lunch buffet here was fantastic. Excellent atmosphere and delicious food. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. Definitely have to go back. More places should do a vegan buffet like this.
