Strictly Vegetarian Restaurant

This place is absolutely amazing!
The menu changes daily, so there’s also something new to try. The medium size meal will last you for 2 meals! The prices aren’t bad either!

Delicious. Got a huge plate of soy curry, bbq tofu, veggies, fried rice, chickpeas, and sautéed greens. Massive portions and this type of hearty yet healthy food is perfect for cold winter days! Definitely coming back!

Oh my goodness, I wish I lived closer to this place because this place was flipping amazing! For about $ 10 or less, you can choose from an assortment of vegetarian offerings. You will get a ton of food and you will get full for that price point I had just mentioned. When I had gone here a few months ago, I got their $ 8 platter, and that came with an assortment of stewed greens, lentils, and this amazing sweet and savory seitan. My mouth is watering just thinking about that meal.
If you happen to be in Flatbush and you happen to be hankering for a vegetarian feast, I’d suggest you stop by here. I suppose one can’t feel too guilty gorging on the food here as nothing is deep fried, but you will definitely feel like you’re going to explode, which is how I felt after my meal. It was all worth it, though.

This meat enthusiast found Strictly Vegetarian a smashing success. There are combo plates, priced at $ 8, $ 10 or $ 14. You don’t choose what you’re getting; they give you several dishes that alternate to some degree. The curry chunks (soy? no idea) were the meatiest and the spiciest of the selections. The dish included excellent lentils, as well as cabbage and kale.
It may be healthier than ribeye steaks but this isn’t a place for South Beach dieters. The combo includes lo mein as well as rice. Believe the hype about the sizes. The $ 10 plate was a big meal for me and might not be finished by a normal person.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for what seems like forever, definitely more than 15 years, if memory serves me right… going on 18 years to be exact! Wow!!!
It’s been a staple in a changing neighborhood and has always offered a healthy, low sodium, Vegetarian and Vegan option. Btw, I’m not a full fledged vegetarian and I can eat their meals every single day and be satiated! The food is and has always been consistent in quality & flavor, the cost is effective, the portions are large and the staff is friendly. It’s been a pleasure to support this great business over the years I look forward to continuing to do so!

The reviews for Strictly Vegetarian are spot on. Not much to look at (but clean and well lit — very important), but the food is great. The gentleman behind the counter showed me each item available and offered all options. I got a medium because I am a glutton and it was enough food for almost 3 meals. I really enjoyed the braised tofu skins, the seitan curry, and the greens. Everything was spicy — so have your water ready. Will definitely be back!

As I peered through the glass case, the sight of this food put a huuuuge smile on my face! How often do you find a vegetarian place serving West Indian food? Love love loved everything I tried! Creative dishes, spicy and tasty! I’ll be stopping by every time I’m in the area.

I decided to go back here since its re-​opening and the food is still delicious and they still give you generous portions. Continue to support local businesses to prevent them from being closed down and replaced with big gentrifying businesses. I should make a note that although the title is strictly «vegetarian» everything is vegan also, meaning there’s no dairy or animal products being used so vegans can easily eat here also, which is why there is such a large rasta clientele.

Walking on Church Ave the other day & noticed this place… I finally decided to stop in & try it out… First off, the menu changes every day (so I was told) so you’ll never know what you’re getting until you walk-​in or call… An $ 8 plate is contains A LOT of food… The food is spicy & decent… I was craving pumpkin & kale so I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t being served today… I will be back though… There’s not enough vegetarian spots in BK…

Strictly Veg Restaurant has re-​opened its doors for business after completing renovation that was needed due to the fire that almost leveled the building. Management would like to thank all customers for their patience and look forward to doing business with you again.

This small joint has one of the best food I’d ever had since I’d move to New York. One man show serving all kind of deliciousness, the price was unbeatable and portion was plenty. I highly recommend this place.

This was the best Vegetarian food I’ve ever tasted. The place is small but clean. One plate is enough for two meals and the oatmeal cookie was on point. The Kale is amazing! The soy is cooked and season to perfection. They use no salt and it still tastes delicious. It was worth the trip.

I was initially in search for an eatery that made custom salads, but opted to go the vegetarian route. When I used to work in the area, I often passed by but never dared to walk in. Since then, my diet has changed. They claim to be the best vegetarian food in Brooklyn, which I cannot disprove or endorse. It would be premature of me since I don’t dine at vegetarian eateries often. Since it was near closing time, they were running out of food. I ordered a small plate for $ 8 since I was unsure if the food would be a hit or miss. I passed on the rice and peas as well as the mixed vegetables with zucchini. Instead, I opted for the curry chunks, bbq tofu, and collard greens. For your information, I am not a fan of tofu but theirs passed the test. The meal was good, had Caribbean flair, and was hearty. Quite a few patrons walked in after me to fill their bellies too. I couldn’t even finish my food, because I was so full. Thankfully, I did not indulge in their desserts, soy patties, or drinks. I clearly had no more room. Thumbs up! Maybe vegetarianism is not so bad after all.

This was an amazing Unilocal find. We needed a vegetarian restaurant or a restaurant with good vegetarian offerings because one of guys on our crew was vegetarian. The stellar reviews on Unilocal persuaded us to take a chance on getting lunch for everyone here.
There’s an inverse correlation between the attractiveness of the food and its tastiness. Meaning as unattractive and unappealing the food may look, the meal was very very very tasty. Even my meat-​loving carnivore husband liked the food and was totally satisfied and didn’t miss having meat.
Everything was delicious, but I loved the braised tofu skins and the mashed pumpkin. The kale was also really good. It’s definitely home-​cooked comfort food, vegan Carribean style.
You don’t get to choose what you want. You order the size (small — $ 8, medium — $ 10, and large — $ 14) and he fills up the container with a little bit of everything. The portions are HUGE. A medium is incredibly large and too much food for me (but each man on the crew polished off a medium no problem). A large is an insane amount of food.
Great value. Delicious food. Strictly vegetarian actually got me to crave vegetarian food.

The food here isn’t photo-​friendly but what it lacks in sexy looks, it makes up for in pure deliciousness. The first time I walked in, I knew it would be vegetarian but wasn’t really sure what to expect since it’s Caribbean vegetarian. But tried it anyway and it was delicious!
It took awhile but I finally made it back with my vegan-​loving husband and my turn-​your-​nose-​up-​at-​vegetarian-​cusine BIL. Both loved it. We were served up some rice with black eyed peas, curry tofu, mashed pumpkin, kale, bean curd thing and possibly something else.
Kale doesn’t do much for me but this was delicious. They had blanched it to take out the bitterness. And it was slightly spicy. I expected to hate the pumpkin and give all of it to the hubs. I’m not a fan of pumpkin. Well, let’s just say he didn’t get a single bite of mine.
Everyday they have a different menu. The guy behind the counter asks you what size you want. Once you tell him, he serves a heaping spoon of everything into your carton. Let me just say that even a small is enough for leftovers. A medium or large will guarantee two-​three meals. And for the price? Small — $ 7, medium — $ 9, large — $ 10 or $ 11, it was so well worth it.
Atmosphere? Hole in the wall but who cares? Everyone was really nice and the food was amazing AND well priced. If they plopped this place down in Williamsburg, I bet it wouldn’t be as good and it would be double to triple the price.

well seasoned vegetarian food.
their home made drinks taste like they use a mix of some kind, and not the fresh stuff…
they serve a lot of different foods for you to choose from. you can even get a little bit of everything if you want.
I ate here many time, but only a few times the food was mushy. I am assuming it is because in kept warm on a steam table.
ask for their home made hot sauce, is hot and bit sweet. which to me is… hmmm. hmmm … hmmm

— I forgot everything I had, but I remember liking the black beans (I remember not being a fan of rice, pumpkin, lo mein)
+
— Food is good. You get a lot for $ 7
— They give you food in a small container, and can turn into mush if eaten together
— I enjoyed the juice selection
-
— Vegetarian doesn’t always equal healthy, food was kind of greasy

Brooklyn’s best kept secret. Fresh,
Homemade, healthy, and affordable, strictly vegetarian is an irreplaceable asset to the community.

Oh YUM! I feel so fortunate to live near so many amazing vegetarian/​vegan places! Strictly Vegetarian never disappoints, in taste or portion!
It’s a buffet style set-​up where you tell the person behind the counter what you would like and get to pick which size container suits you best. I recently purchased a medium container and it literally lasted me three meals! (I believe) choices change daily, but there is always at least one vegetable, green, and protein option.
The restaurant also does soups, breads, and desserts.

4.5 Stars!!!
Another great vegetarian place!
The food here is really good & the portion is just WOW! Very generous! We got one large meal ($ 12), a small meal ($ 7), & two bottles of water. Holy crap! We were stuffed!
There is no menu. The guy will just fill up everything inside a container. Don’t be fooled by the size of the small container. The guy will fill that thing up to the max!
The place is small & clean. When we were there, we saw most of the people bought take out.
Delicious food! EXTREMELY GENEROUS PORTION! CHEAP! Great value!
If you happen to be around the area, this is definitely a must place to check out regardless if you’re a vegetarian or not.
