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.
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.
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!
