Delicious and filling - Edit
You get really great portion sizes here which is great to share. The black bean and sweet potato enchilada is delicious and super filling. I love that they use zucchini as the tortilla. My friend got the burrito and it was huge! Great service.

One word: magnificent!!! - Edit
I’ve been to this place a few times already and I know that they serve breakfast and lunch menus, both are amazing! Gobi Manchurian is a tasty appetizer! The Reuben sandwich has a complex and tasty flavor, while the Vegan Cheese-filled Sweet Potato Quesadilla was just out of this world. They also serve protein shakes for those that are shake-enthusiasts. Overall, if I lived any closer, this place would be my go to restaurant for plant-based meals!

Yum! - Edit
Everything I've tried is amazing! The gobi manchurian is so flavorful it is a must have. The sesame and cilantro vermicelli salad is so fresh and packed with flavor from the cilantro and dressing. The tofu reuben is another super good option and packed with flavor!

Visiting Framingham for an evening and was so impressed with Green Leaf! We orders take out and everything was delicious.

Get the butternut squash lasagna - amazing
Falafel was crispy and not greasy
We ordered a lot of food and ate family style and there was something for everyone with lots of leftovers.
Lots of ways to modify for vegan - and clearly marked menu made it easy to avoid nuts and dairy!
Highly recommend
If I lived close by this would absolutely be a regular spot for me.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Clear indication of nuts and dairy on menu, Take out was in paper!

Ok. Was better before pandemic! - Edit
We used to love this place but twice since reopening after pandemic, it’s not as good anymore. Butternut lasagna very disappointing, compared to previously! Falafel ok, gobi Manchurian ok. Both soups very good: lentil and sea vegetable. Good selection of hot tea. Food served in take-out containers, even for dine-in. Terrible service (order at counter). Previous full table service/wait staff. Very expensive, not worth it for mediocre food.

Ehhhhh - Edit
Burrito everything’s mushed together, sea soup decent, brownie super dry and the guy didn’t tell us there was no vegan vanilla left so just served it with mango sorbet. Also very understaffed

Delicious! - Edit
Unexpectedly found myself in Framingham around lunchtime and found this on HC. Yum! Grabbed a smoothie and a panini to go and the portion of the panini with sweet potato fries was masssiveeee (I eat a lot!). DEFINITELY will come back when I'm in the area again, but if you're close by, I recommend grabbing some take out! They do also have a dining area but it's nothing special.

Amazing food - go here!! - Edit
I loved everything about this place. We sat in and it was lovely. The owner/chef was really pleasant and the food was to die for! We got the sweet potato ‘fries’ (more like big wedges) and they are incredible. We also got the BBQ chick’n strips which were delicious. For mains we got a burrito (HUGE!!) and enchiladas. The portions are really big so go hungry 😂.

GO HERE NOW - Edit
Oh sweet little baby jesus, strap in folk this'll be a long one.
Read moreTLDR; Go here if you are vegan, have severe food allergies, or just have tastebuds.
I went to this establishment on a road trip with my mom (Severe milk and soy allergies), father (will eat anything and everything/ no dietary restrictions), and myself (naughty vegan with a peanut allergy). Yeah, we're a fun bunch to go to dinner with. But this place made it so incredibly easy to order safely it was ridiculous.
We started with the sweet potato 'fries' folks these are not fries, they are little bundles of potato goodness crafted by the sweet lords themselves. Quite literally the best sweet potato I have ever eaten, so soft and sweet with crispy skin just gorgeous.
Then we tried their raw blackberry cheesecake and salted caramel cheesecake, which for someone who hasn't had dairy in four years tasted the exact same as the real deal. They were fabulous.
My mother had an omelette which she rated a solid 8/10. We both agree to stick to the sweet stuff, this is where the restaurant REALLY shines.
My father got an order of the normal french toast which, despite ordering the sweet potato pancakes myself, I later stole and can personally attest to being the best thing I tried there.
The sweet potato pancakes were very very very good, but the french toast was even better. Which says something about the french toast not the pancakes. I will warn you the sweet potatoes are sandwiched in between the pancakes not-really-crepe-like-but-more-sweet-american-omlette-style, not mixed in the batter.
The whole experience was top notch, the owner we met was such a nice human being and catered to all our allergies and dietary restrictions, but no matter of your status with allergies or moral alignments go here for an extremely delicious brunch.

Amazing bowls, salads, smoothies and sandwiches. Pastry/desserts are not as good, but the rest more than makes up for it.

It was just okay - Edit
We got a couple of dishes to-go, all from the dinner menu. We ordered the Butternut Kale Lasagna, Gobi Manchurian, and the Artichoke Stuffed Mushrooms. We specified to make everything vegan, and had no issues with that, they subbed out the dairy cheese for vegan cheese. The mushroom appetizer was really good! However I thought the lasagna was very bland, tasted mostly like boiled veggies with tofu. My husband liked the gobi manchurian. Lastly we got a chocolate mousse cake, which to me was incredibly too sweet, however I find a lot of American cakes too sweet so maybe take that with a grain of salt.
Read moreAll in all it was okay, I would say a bit on the pricey side, the portion size for the lasagna was really good, the appetizers could be cheaper though. We haven't dined in since the pandemic started, but we saw the inside of the restaurant when we picked up our order and I didn't care for the atmosphere. I wouldn't really want to dine-in here. I don't think we'll be returning for the dinner menu, but perhaps we will check out their lunch sandwiches in the future.

Great little spot - Edit
The menu is 100% vegetarian and about 85% vegan. Everything is appropriately marked and most of the dairy can be removed or substituted if needed. Great food - lots of flavor. We live about 30 mins away and did take-out. The Reuben (which was outstanding) got a bit soggy on the drive home but it was so good I’d buy it again. The quesadilla and portobello panini were also outstanding (and traveled better then the Reuben). The only “average” items have been the two salads that we tried - both were just “meh”. Entrees are top notch!

Surprised by the overall high rating - Edit
I liked Green Leaf a lot when they were in Natick; good food, good service, and many vegan or veganizable dishes. Around the time they moved to Saxonville, they seemed to have trouble keeping staff. Wait times were often long, but we still went often to try to support the business. At one visit, a former staff member came in, had words with the people working, and the police were called. Uncomfortable, to say the least. Not long after that, I ordered online for takeout, requesting my item be vegan, and they made it gluten-free instead (i.e., gf bread and dairy cheese). When I called to ask them to remake it, they told me I had to select vegan when I ordered. I had done that, and had proof on my receipt. They did make me a new sandwich, but I haven't gone back since. A lot of potential, and I wish it were better, but I had too many bad experiences to return.

Mixed review - Edit
I got the beet burger and my partner got the bbq seitan. The beet burger fell apart immediately and I didn’t love the taste, but the bbq seitan was really good! Loved the salsa that came as a side but the sweet potato “fries” were just too big and kind of soggy.

Pretty good - Edit
The gobi manchurian is good. They did quote me 30 minutes for my takeout order and I ended up waiting over an hour for my food. I know they’re busy but it was a little strange. The cinnamon fig waffle had about a pound of sliced figs on top (conservative estimate) which was surprising and overpowered the waffle. I had a huge mound of figs left when I was done. Great if you love figs. As other reviews say, it’s pretty expensive. I would not recommend the french toast. Maybe because I ordered it gluten free, I don’t know, but it was a couple of very soggy slices of bread (flavorless) just loaded so high with a thick gooey syrup mixture with fruit in it - it was hard to see the bread in places- I really didn’t care for it.
