Good Neighborhood Veggie Spot

by voguelas1

I love Curly's Lunch. The portions are HUGE, the food is delicious and the staff is friendly and funky. I love that they get the customers involved by having people color on their placemats and then hang them up (if you're picked!) on the wall. I would suggest the burgers (vegan) and all the sandwiches (esp. the Santa Barbarella) Great place for brunch and for people who like affordable, healthy eats!!

  • Pros: Great portion size, fun staff
  • Cons: a little small

Great food whether you're a vegetarian or not

by jlh1980

First of all, I've only ordered delivery at Curly's so I can't critique the service or atmosphere. The food is awesome. And I love that the menu doesn't have the pretentious vibe that so many vegetarian or vegan places tend to have. I have had a bit of everything on the menu. The veggie burgers are great...love the east village club...but my absolute favorite is the buffalo sandwich. There is definitly something for everyone. If you don't like the idea of fake meat, then get the nachos or quesadilla. Basically, Curly's offers tastey, better-than-a-diner, casual vegetarian food. And whenever I call in orders, the people answering the phone are always very friendly so I assume that goes for the service on the floor as well.

  • Pros: great food, a little something for everyone.
  • Cons: ?

Good food.... avoid some of the false meat

by gerrilum

Great food... some of my carnivorous friends weren't too pleased with the false meat or the soy icecream... But they aren't the healthiest people either... Other than the some of the 'false' meats...The food however is fantastic! Love it!

  • Pros: The array of great food and the unique dishes
  • Cons: fake beef

by nycmd

I eat at Curly's all the time-yum. Good prices, good portions, cute (albeit small) restaurant. Try the avocado/jack burger.

by ljova

my fiancee and I love Curly's for brunch. The waitstaff is wonderful, the coffee is strong. I love the salads, and she loves the eggs. We come here weekly for brunch, and have firmly sealed it in our minds as the best place in the neighborhood.

  • Pros: fresh food, great service, charming ambience
  • Cons: no back garden, sometimes the music is a little too loud.
