Reviews
I’ve been going to Main Essentials for years and finally got around to writing a review after stopping by again recently. This place has ALWAYS been consistently incredible in every way: the owners and staff are some of the friendliest, sweetest people ever, and the food is just absolutely heavenly. It is one of the rare places in Rockland where you can get a truly delicious, flavor-packed, home-cooked, and AFFORDABLE all-vegan food. I really missed this place during the peak of COVID and am glad they opened back up though they're still take-out only. Since it’s in the heart of downtown Nyack though, the beach with outdoor tables and benches are just a short walk away, where you can enjoy your food with a view. Whenever I go, I always get their hot bar items in a bowl; these hot bar items change everyday and they’ve been fantastic every time I’ve been. The pictures here show 2 PACKED bowls with all the hot bar items, for just $15… amazing prices for even more amazing food. Their mock meats are always bursting with delicious, mouth-watering flavors and pleasant textures; their vegetables are perfectly cooked and seasoned; and their rice and beans are richly flavored and spiced. I’ve also tried their juices and smoothies in the past, which are always fresh, delicious, healthy, and well-priced. I’m also a big fan of their Jamaican “beef” patties made of seitan. The seitan is boldly flavored and well-seasoned, and the patty dough is crispy and flaky— a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. This is a gem of a location in Nyack, Rockland, and the entire state of New York. I can’t recommend it enough, and all my friends vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike who I’ve been here with throughout the years would wholeheartedly agree!!
We literally drive regularly from Midtown Manhattan for the vegan beef patties and Dominican/Caribbean food.
Went in on a very rainy day because it was the closest vegan spot from the highway, and was very pleasantly surprised! Their food is seasoned to perfection and the seitan so juicy!! I’m a bit sensitive to spicy foods, but it wasn’t a problem at all. Will definitely hit this spot again. Would recommend the Rib empanada
I have been coming to this place for years and the food is so delicious. Hands down some of the best vegan food in Rockland county. Always great conversations with the owner. Love it! Vegetarian options: Everything on the menu is vegan. Even if you are not vegan or vegetarian, you will love the food. Lots of flavor!
I’m so glad I discovered Nyack Main Essentials with a google search of local vegan restaurants. I couldn’t believe all of the great reviews, but after making my first trip to this restaurant I am now definitely a believer . Upon entering the restaurant we received a very warm welcome. The positive vibes were felt immediately. As Lion, the chef and owner, shared out a hefty portion of all of the daily menu options we shared a great conversation. The passion for sharing this way of eating/lifestyle with the community was evident. Everything-the soya chunks, vegetable and chik’n patties, cabbage, rice & beans- was perfectly seasoned and delectable. I appreciated that nothing was overly salty or oily. I’ve never been to Nyack before going to Main Essentials but I am now looking forward to the next trip just to enjoy this food again. Vegetarian options: All vegan options
This place is so good. The food is the best vegan Caribbean food I have had and beat the city. Always friendly and super clean.
Literally in my top 5 favorite vegetarian spots. Coolest staff. They have this bar of selections that you can choose from- rice, greens, 2 different kinds of proteins- I can go on and on. They also have a full menu with the CHEAPEST options- like a vegi chikn sandwich, vegi burger, tofu patty is a few bucks. Same exact would be triple somewhere else. And they have cold pressed drinks that they juice on the spot.
These people have it all right. Friendly, good food and affordable. It was a pleasure going in for lunch and being met with a smiling face. Highly recommend.
I’m not a strict vegetarian but I like to be supportive and I love variety. Also I live in rural middle Georgia and these kinds of places are rare. Wow It was fantastic. I didn’t get the young man’s name but he was from the Dominican Republic and super friendly. I told him I was a visitor and to give me whatever he thought I’d like. He put a little of everything in a big bowl and charged me $15.00. Everything was unique and delicious. I finished every bite and I feel great.
Nyack Main Essentials is one of the best restaurants in Rockland County. The staff is super friendly and the food is delicious. Did I mention it’s healthy? 5 stars!
