Yummy fast food - Edit
Had a great chicken sandwich here. Definitely more of a take out place - not much seating and no bathroom for customers

Expensive and bland - Edit
Got a falafel platter for $18 and it was not worth it in my opinion. There wasn’t much flavor or spice and there’s better things in nyc.

Our falafel is reviewed as one of the best in the city! Im sorry you were disappointed about the flavors and spices. Theres definitely cheaper options around if your looking for a more cheaper meal

Pricey but quick and delicious - Edit
The flavors were on point. The order took a whole lot of 3 minutes to be ready. On the pricey side but overall a good option.

Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your meal. Regarding your concern about seating, we acknowledge the space constraints and limited seating. Unfortunately, our outdoor dining area was impacted by a drunk driver, resulting in its demolition. We plan to rebuild in the spring and enhance the overall dining experience. Your understanding and patience during this period are greatly appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back with improved facilities soon!

Wonderful wholesome food - Edit
My choice was the Falafel Platter to go. It tasted amazing. I have a very bog appetite, so was quite happy when I got quite a lot of food for the money. Great value.
Read moreStaff are down to Earth and helpful, cheers.
One minor gripe about the place is that, when you go inside it's quite cramped / narrow where you order. If it's possible, consider widening that area slightly to allow people to pass by each other no problem, and for wheelchair users.
Thanks a lot and best wishes. If I'm ever in Manhattan again, I'd definitely have a lovely meal here again.
Pros: Stunning food, and a good menu, Helpful staff, Good value for money
Cons: A bit cramped where you make your order.
Veganonthefly
Thanks for your feedback! We will look into making the hallway for assessable for customers, we know it can be cramped during busy hours :D

Indulgent and satisfying - Edit
This hit exactly what I wanted out of some fried street foods. I thought it was pricy until it came and wow I love the massive loaded fry portions. You get what you pay for!

Tasty fast food - Edit
Order at a kiosk, window pickup, two small counters and some stools in back. I had a tasty Nashville BBQ sandwich and delicious mac and cheese. My husband got the platter with rice. Everything was good and the prices were reasonable. Just a little tough to customize at the kiosk with people waiting. And of course, more seating would be great, but it's understandable given the location.
Read morePros: Good food, fast service, Variety of the menu, Reasonable price

Greasy - Edit
Would eat here with a hangover. A bit too much fake meat in the wrap for regular dinner though.
Read moreVeganonthefly
We appreciate your feedback. We are 100% plant based kitchen. If you’re referring to our fake meat since we’re not killing animals then this establishment isn’t for you.
Read moreCarlValentin
That was not what I meant. I'm vegan myself. I just meant thank that the wrap would be better, if it had a little more vegetables and a little less fake meat. The fake meat was a bit dominating. But no worries, friends, I enjoyed the meal. :)

The fries were super well seasoned, and very tasty vegan junk in general. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a reasonably priced and tasty comfort food in a minimalist venue.

Mostly fine - Edit
The food was mostly fine - it wasn't the most incredible gyro of my life, but it was tasty. Unfortunately, there was almost nowhere in the restaurant to eat, and they refused to give us a cup of tap water.

A hidden delight - Edit
Just past the Club Quarters hotel on w45th is Vegan On The Fly a totally vegan fast food and catering company. It’s so easy to order there and the flavours are stunning. We had the “Sausage and Egg” special and the N’ick Fil-A with fries. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. Especially in what feels like a vegan desert in Midtown NY
Read morePros: Great Food, Great Price, Incredible service
Cons: Wish there were more room to sit in

Fantastic - Edit
Great tasty food. Tried seitan loaded fries and were delicious. Will be going back to try other stuff on menu. Small place that we should all support rather than the corporate big-boys. You won't be disappointed.
