This is a review for 185 Montague. I went in there like I was in the desert and had not eaten in weeks. I asked the price of the bowl, and they said $12.00 ok it's a lot, but ok, I figured I could get anything in the bowl I asked for beans, rice, chicken , some other meat and the Guacamole. Yes, I love avocados, so I am heading to the nice young man who is the cashier & he said $16.00. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE $12. So, in the future, I will get that $5. For 3 avocados at the store. I left and went next door to eat the food was cold not even warm I felt like I was a dog in the carribbean that is given all the leftovers mixed up in that bowl that is supposed to help the environment how I asked myself it's not even reusable as I sat there thinking if a million people throw away this bowl compared to if we all reuse that bowl , bag and fork. This is my thoughts on buying a $16.00 bowl of cold food, but go in the staff is cool, good people. And to the owners of chipolta and please give me the option on if I want my food hot or cold and let me help you save the planet by giving me a reusable container.

This isn't about atmosphere, it's about the staff that doesn't skimp on making the burrito. It's fresh, they are friendly & quick which is most important.

Recommended. Didn't have any issues, and the food was expected. Not too crowded and spacious. Good place to grab lunch for my jury duty.

I work around the corner from this store so I’ve been a customer for over a decade. I love all the organic products and fresh produce but the hot bar is really hit or miss lately. The portobello mushrooms are consistently dangerously salty. The sweet potato soup I bought for lunch today has no flavor whatsoever and taste like a dishrag. Tofu salad and French lentil salad are both very good. I’d appreciate more variety in the prepared food section.

My mom and I used to take a bus to this store when I was a baby vegan because back then it was harder to find vegan products. 20 years later I moved into this neighborhood and I'm so happy to see Perelandra is still right on Remsen. It's a Brooklyn treasure. LOVE the vegan prepared foods in the fridge section. If it's late and I don't feel like cooking, I grab a meal from their fridge. They all taste like healthy, home-cooked meals and it's such a nice change from all the vegan fast food restaurants now. I've also never been tempeh's biggest fan, but however they make theirs, it's fantastic. So I like to grab of tub of their prepared tempeh to use in my cooking and salads at home.

Great natural grocery store. Love the variety of reasonably priced, high quality organic produce. The vegan prepared food / sandwiches / hot bar are also well flavored and reasonably priced
Josh Berlin - 5 months ago

Revised Review: After 14+ years of supporting Perelandra as a local Brooklyn Heights resident, I’ve finally had enough of their atrociously rude customer service, constant price hikes, and lack of fresh fruits and vegetables. The cashiers actively detest their customers and have no basic skills in how to bag properly. I thank them for their services during the pandemic, but it’s time to say goodbye!

Whenever I am in downtown Brooklyn, I make a B line to Perelandra. They have the best prepared vegan food. Love this place.

The burger tastes great for a fast food smash burger, it is definitely one of the better ones that I have had. The waiting time was however too long. There were people in front of me taking forever to discuss who knows what and there seemed to be only one person taking orders despite some more people around. This could definitely be optimized. There were several lemonades to order from but I received something different than I ordered but it was ok so I didn't care but if you do, make sure that they get you what you ordered.

Im def team spicy. And the current shakes are out of this world. I love the freshness and shake shacks commitment to antibiotic free chicken, unlike so many competitors. The changing menu is great, and I love that the classics are always there. Must go to if you’ve never been or are visiting from out of town. Classic quality chain.

The Korean burger was overrated 6.5, it was dry & barely had any Korean sauce or flavor to it, the kimichi.. was coleslaw lettuce 😭I expected the same sandwich shown on the menu. The bbq Korean was better, 8.5 the beef patty was super fresh & tasted rly good. The drinks are good depending on what you get like sunset lemonade & yuzu honey lemonade but the dragonfruit lemonade was okay tasted kinda bad like 5.5 mid similar to medicine water. The fries are crunchy and best eaten when hot.

We came to this place by accident and unexpectedly. And I'm very happy about it. We were hungry and tried to find something quick and inexpensive like McDonald's or Burger King. And we stumbled upon this place oh my god,We took burgers, cheeseburgers and fries and it was very, very tasty, especially the cutlet in the burger and the vegetables.Everything is very fresh, just prepared, not frozen, and very, very tasty. I haven’t eaten such delicious sandwiches for a long time. Naturally, we quickly ordered it ourselves, and the usual price is the same as everywhere. I'll definitely stop by there whenever I'm in the area. Oh, and the first time I tried frozen cola there. This is my favorite drink now 😸😸

Burger took forever to be prepared although there was literally 7 customers in the whole place. Food came in whatever order. It tasted okay, but not as tasty as it should. It's completely over staff. Workers couldn't care less about customers, they kind of ignore them, they're just chatting and making noise instead of working. Sadly this place does not live up to the standards of Shake Shack!

I ordered their gluten free pizza from Uber Eats and was blown away! As a gluten sensitive person, pizza is one of the foods I miss the most. Their pie was thin and crispy - not crumbly at all like other GF options. It arrived quickly and tasted great. I will absolutely order again!
Ariel Adkins - 4 months ago

Best slice in New York let alone Brooklyn, went to all the big name places and this one clears them all. Sauce they use is amazing and they’re all very friendly, gave us an extra slice and some cookies as well. Can’t wait to come back next time we visit from Australia. Margarita and Sicilian are must gets.

I came here on a Friday night and was surprised by how quiet it was. I sat down and ordered their ravioli. Overall I enjoyed it. The cheese filling was a bit plain but the pasta was covered in a thick layer of gooey cheese. The garlic knots were good. The prices are good as well. I'd say this place is definitely undervalued.
Nick Felker - 2 months ago

This place has the best slice in downtown Brooklyn! The margarita slice is the best with fresh pesto and mozzarella. The staff is so sweet and the place is clean! Delicious pizza!

Great surprise. We found the place randomly as it started to rain and we needed shelter. They have a great variety of pizzas (round and square) and on a Saturday they are all fresh. All very tasty, with very good cheese and a crispy base. People writing there were very friendly too. Recommended.

Nice smaller Starbucks. Very clean inside. Staff is friendly and coffee was fresh. The line moved Quickly as well. Not too busy in the afternoon as well so good place to stop in, warm up, and do a little reading or work. Stop on in!
Robert Young - a year ago

Needs a restroom for customers, staff are kind about it fortunately. I don’t know why there’s no restroom. This Starbucks is very small. One small room really. But always like 60 people at once. And needs to provide slightly better service.

Absolutely love doggie friendly and have puppychinos!!! Depending on staff they can fill your drinks differently. But there's a lot of garbage , possibly clean things out sooner.

There were three of us for dinner early evening, my companions had draft beers but I was only drinking water. We all enjoyed the music played. The food was terrific, turkey club, fish n chips, garden burger. My friends raved about the fish and chips, and we all loved the pickles so much we got extra. I ordered the garden burger, no complaints. It was one of the best veggie burgers I’ve had, moist and fresh tasting not a dried out freezer burnt thing. It was served with tomato lettuce onion and pickles in a pita, as well as waffle fries. Everything was delicious, I devoured it. Very reasonable prices too.

Very good bar food. Festive atmosphere most nights. Service is hit or miss. Certian bartenders drive business away.

Went there after a longggg walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and post visiting the Transit Museum. Perfect place for catching a late-ish lunch and a beer to go with.. Had the fish and chips with shoestring fries while my husband went for the O'keefes Burger..we loved everything and more importantly the old rock music playing vibe. Special thanks to Jane who served us.

Fun place to be at as it has a nice atmosphere. Great for gathering with friends and/or coworkers after work on a Friday night or any night of the week. They even have a comedy show every Wednesday, which I haven't attended yet. I actually go after work for dinner on any given day as their menu is very selective, and every plate I've tasted, I've enjoyed. Two thumbs up 👍👍

Not sure why this place has less than 5 star.. portions- BEEFY! Even if you don’t get beef. I got a chicken curry dish recommended by the cashier and was pleasantly surprised by the serving size. The food came out within minutes of ordering, and the staff was kind and attentive. The ambience seems traditional, I went during the daytime, so there wasn’t too many people inside.

Today I ordered an express lunch platter for take out. It was quick, delicious, and the price was competitive. Downtown Brooklyn is a commercial district, if you are a busy person and looking for a quick but quality grab to go, this is the place for you.

I had things to do in the area. I parked right next to the place when I finished, my daughter asked me to eat here. We love Indian food but certain area not all of it. They have to go plate, the food unbelievable she ordered chicken tikka masala so delicious I pick up for myself the vegetarian plate spinach with cheese,yellow lentil,and cauliflower on rice. Everything was perfect. Portion huge I couldn’t finished with mine…we get in the lunch special price was more then affordable.See you guys soon!

This place is lovely, with tasty food and a friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming, and the restaurant was impeccably clean. The host was particularly kind and helpful. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to everyone looking for authentic Indian cuisine at a Thai restaurant.
Junaid Rajput - 2 weeks ago

I really love the food here, and it's my top choice for Indian cuisine in the area, especially their bread filled with sweet coconut and raisins. Sometimes when I go out for Indian food, it's so spicy that I can't fully enjoy it. However, the dishes here are fresh, flavorful, and not overly spicy unless you opt for something like a vindaloo. Plus, the portion sizes are generous. The only downside is that the interior of the restaurant looks a bit worn and dated. Nevertheless, I'm already eager to order takeout from them again today because I enjoy their food so much.

This is a really nice, clean, and delicious little spot. My husband and I walked in randomly on a Saturday night and we absolutely loved it. The gentleman and woman working were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service. They did not mind that I requested some customizations to my dish, and when we asked for our food to be extra spicy, they brought over a generous dish of chili spice oil which was really considerate instead of assuming what spice level we could handle. The food was great as leftovers the next day as well. Definitely a nice neighborhood restaurant to eat at! Planning to return :)

I frequented this place a lot during my undergrad days many years ago. Now I come once in a while and I'm happy that the quality of the food has stayed the same. Easily one of my favorite Chinese restaurants ever. Service is fast, food is fresh and tasty and never too greasy compared to many other Chinese restaurants. HIGHLY recommend!!!
No Name - a year ago

The food always hits the spot — a lot of familiar dishes, they just taste fresher and more flavorful than typical Chinese dishes in the area. But extra points for going above and beyond on service. Uber courier messed up our order (grabbed from the wrong restaurant and Uber couldn’t/wouldn’t dispatch someone else to pick up our actual food) and it was getting late. Lichee was responsive and solution oriented on the phone, offering to send out an employee to deliver the food to us even though they didn’t technically have to. Definitely the kind of local restaurant worth rewarding with your business ✌🏻
Alex Morrell - 2 weeks ago

Lichee Nut never disappoints! I have been coming here since 2009 as anniversary place with my family to celebrate our gotcha day. Staff are kind and warm. They are always ready to assist you whenever you need something. Place is clean, a lot of space for a party of 6-8. Bathrooms are clean! They take CC/Apple Pay and cash as payments. They’re good is delicious, always comes out warm and their portions are good. Prices are above $10. Anything cheaper is water. There is a-lot of variety to pick from as well.

Vee was a sweet heart this is the first time I ever had to have my drink made over ...I been drinking the same matcha latte for over 15 years . She understood ,her staff wasn't that friendly a lil defensive .

The service would be a lot faster if the baristas weren’t busy conversing with friends who aren’t employees . But other than that omg they make the best drinks hands down

I am in this location M-F as it is the nearest Starbucks to my office. The staff is pleasant, fast and always accurate. Though I usually place a mobile order, my items are ready, well prepared and even include the straw and cup of ice I request once I'm in store. When I worked at Starbucks some years ago, the expectation was to have customers in and out of the store in 3 minutes or less. The partners at this location definitely do. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Crystal Fairweather - 9 months ago

Disappointed honestly, ordered a sausage egg and cheddar as well as a pink drink, pink drink was off in color and taste, the sandwich was for obvious reasons messy, :(
giovanna acosta - 2 years ago

My favorite Starbucks location. It’s giving Cheers… when you walk in the whole staff speaks to you. My pick up orders are always ready before time. The drinks are always good and aesthetically pleasing. It’s always clean even when busy. The whole location is such a vibe. I go there like 4 times a week.

Came in looking for some heavy protein green smoothie and they were super nice. Showed me the protein options and gave me a great suggestion for my smoothie. Came out great, will be back.

Came here because I saw they had some vegan foods, I tried the ackee, vegan beef, callaloo, and vegan fish patty, all were very tasty, although would have liked a bit more filling. Also tried the regular soy, which surprisingly was my favorite, so tasty. The split pea I had to throw out, the filling had this weird fishy/vinegar/off taste. The bread patty part of the vegan fish was less tasty, but seemed whole wheat, probably a healthier version. Was told all the patty crusts were vegan, and most of the fillings available were too. Place had a good amount of plant based meats, but not a ton of plant based dairy in the fridge.
Nick Tustin - 3 years ago

I’m into it. This place has a solid selection of vegan hot foods and the staff is chill/friendly. I’ve tried most of the vegan patties and some are better than others but all serviceable. Additionally they’ve got some solid selections of vegan grocery items, particularly May Wah proteins if you’re not able to hop over the bridge to the Chinatown store. I’m glad to see they’re still in business and hope they will continue to thrive for awhile as this neighborhood definitely doesn’t have a lot of gems like this.
