mikeyboxxAugust 12, 2015I enjoyed the tex mex burger. They also have 4 pack frozen burgers "to go" for around $5. Vegetarian / Vegan plant based restaurant. I'll definitely go back again. Go get your veg on! #hippyfood
Emily GlazierFebruary 21, 2013I've been to Otarian several times and it has never disappointed! I've had a few of their wraps but my personal favorite is the grilled burrito - spicy and full of flavor! The panna cotta is a must.- Otarian is Indian inspired with a modern, multi-cultural twist, for example: a Mexican style toasted burrito with traditional Indian fillings served with sweet potato fries and ketchup. I love it.
Haley JonesAugust 28, 2012Had the sweet potato falafel wrap & it was sweet and refreshing. Very impressed with the man at the register - extremely helpful. The gingerbread cake was a bit dry... But I'll definitely be back!
TimelessnomadAugust 13, 2015This place is a bit odd as it's now three restaurants in one. Food was good though. You just have to pay separately for the juice bar. Many yummie vegan dishes.
Harumi UAugust 7, 2015They have something for every dietary restriction. It does take a little time to prepare food so if you are taking out food, order ahead.
Michelle CNovember 12, 2014There are lots of vegetarian and vegan options here. It is definitely a fast food restaurant (my lasagna was microwaved) and the seating area isn't particularly clean. It's decent but not amazing.
- Jim D.May 22, 2013The best veggie burgers I've tried in my entire life. I'm not from NYC but I hope to see them soon :)
Get the Tex Mex burger; it's a tad bit spicy and comes with guacamole. Also, the staff is very friendly!
LJuly 29, 2010Wow, pleasantly surprised! Loved the Tex-Mex burger, super filling and tasty. Sweet potato chiplets are an amazing snack. And watch out for the Tadoori Mushroom O Paneer wrap, it's super spicy!
Chelsey DJune 30, 2010This place is AWESOME! Very friendly staff, had the portabello burger meal and it was sooo good! Fries are great and so is the Vegan chocolate dessert! This place makes me want to go vegetarian!
Scott FranklinJanuary 28, 2012This spot is great. For vegans and those who love them. Even if you're a meat head you'll like the food here. I wouldn't steer you wrong.
The Portabella mushroom burger is bomb, so is the Tex-Mex burger and the Tacos. I never had vegetarian food before this place, by the end of my experience there I didn't miss the meat, seriously...
Hill YoungAugust 31, 2013Tex-Mex burger was amazing. Sweet potato chips were hands down the best I've had to date.
Kate AmandaJune 14, 2013Needs to work on quality control. Sometimes it's great food other times you'll get a salad with hard/inedible beets.
Chad PetersonApril 27, 2014Otarian is excellent! Inexpensive fast food with vegan and vegetarian options.
Natalia FrancoMay 2, 2011Salad bar is nice. Tacos look good. Service is incredible. Love this veggie fast food concept and I am not a veggi
Adam GreeneNovember 3, 2011Great vegetarian meals. Quick and affordable. Not an easy combo to find in the city!
Jim HirshfieldAugust 16, 201195% sure mis-tagged as Pizza Place. This is a vegan mini-chain. A little pricey, but yummy.
Neil GardnerSeptember 26, 2015Food is vegetarian but good for an open-minded vegetarian. Gluten Free GF options clearly marked. Service could be better.
Andrea HNovember 10, 2011Everything was delish split the tex mex burger, lonestar bbq wrap and fries. I'd get them all again!
Jeremy RafalSeptember 30, 2010Nice little place...yea, the Tex Mex burger is yummy...I think they are losing a lot of business though by not accepting credit cards!
Patrick KentAugust 9, 2011The TexMex was pretty awesome. I liked the theme and the people working there seemed really nice. Read more
Sarah BrooksJanuary 13, 2011All of their food and packaging is compostable. Eat here often if you care about the planet. Otarian sure does!
ChettaJune 17, 2014The mouse is falsely labeled. It neither has the texture not flavor of a mouse but rather a chocolate frosting. It's also painfully sweet. To make up for the lack of quality.
The Luxury SpotJanuary 18, 2012Substitute sweet potato chiplets for the fries - you'll be glad you did! -Tanner
if you arent sure about what to get check out the menu at Otarian.com. they're very transparent about their ingredients
ecomaginationSeptember 17, 2010Learn how much carbon pollution you can save each meal you eat at this delicious conservation-minded vegetarian restaurant!
Melinda HoodJanuary 23, 2011Try the Tex Mex burger. It is the best veggie burger you will ever have!
The VyneJuly 4, 2010Yummy, hearty vegetarian fast food - even for you meat eaters. If you're hungry, try the Tex-Mex burger.
Patrick MooneyNovember 11, 2010Best fast veggie food in town. They also have stores in London. Highly recommend.
DonTonTingoJuly 15, 2013Smells like a typical vegetarian restaurant. Was with a veg friend and didn't see anything interesting for a non-veg person. Person behind the counter was an idiot.
Ashley HamptonOctober 16, 2012I got the black bean tacos and the portion was small.. was still hungry when I left
Karen MuiterSeptember 28, 2011A lot of grain and protein-rich options all under 400-600 calories for the health conscious.
Soraya DarabiJanuary 25, 2011Try the Choco Mousse - New healthy discovery: It's yummy, barely any calories, sharable.
Cute place with an interesting vegetarian menu. The TexMex burger is great!
Blake LawrenceJune 16, 2010Very nice employees, great environment. Waiting on my food now, but I don't care, this place is already great!
