I've been a regular at Main Essentials for years, and after stopping by again recently, I finally decided to write a review. This place has consistently been outstanding in every aspect: the owners and staff are some of the friendliest and kindest people you'll ever meet, and the food is absolutely divine.

I really missed it during the height of COVID and am thrilled they're back open (though still offering take-out only).

I visited this vegan restaurant on a rainy day since it was the closest option to the highway, and I was pleasantly surprised! The food is perfectly seasoned, and the seitan is incredibly juicy.

We regularly make the drive from Midtown Manhattan just for the vegan beef patties and Dominican/Caribbean cuisine.
