Xyst Nyc - New York

Interesting spot, with some really good but overpriced dishes I really enjoyed the hummus and the beets/lettuce dishes. The avocado and the carrot appetizers weren’t as good, and the mains were pretty average. The dessert was good, but a bit hard. All in all, definitely worth trying but it is quite expensive!

XYST has been on my list of places to try for a while now because of their all-vegan menu and the creative, non-typical dishes offered. I came here with a friend (who is not vegan and very much an omnivore and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food. Our server was super helpful and friendly, and helped me identify the 4 items that I should NOT get because they contained gluten (since I informed him that I am gluten-free . All the other items were either inherently gluten-free or they could substitute papadum instead of pita bread to make them gluten-free. We ended up deciding to share the Cast Iron Socca, Grilled Eggplant, and Green Pea and Fava Falafel. Even though we overheard our server tell another table that it's recommended to order two dishes per person when sharing, we felt that the three dishes we ordered was perfect. We were completely satisfied (not stuffed and didn't have any leftovers. And the food was delicious! A nice variety of colors and textures and flavors. (I could probably eat several plates of the Grilled Eggplant ... because I LOVE anything featuring eggplant. I would gladly get these items again, if it weren't for the fact that so many of the other items also sounded amazing. Definitely coming back!

Food was ok but not great. Overall dishes were very photogenic, but that special. The tofu was pretty boring, the chickpea patties was avarage, and so on, yet the prices were of an high end restaurant. Service was great fast and polite.

Great vegetarian place. The food was really good. We ordered three dishes for two ppl. The smoked hummus was very good and a very generous portion. We asked for extra bread and celery for dipping. The kale Caesar was ok. The tempeh, which is fermented soybean was a bit salty, but it adds protein. The grilled eggplant was good. The bread that came with it was fantastic. Soft and crunchy. Staff are very friendly. Would definitely come back again.

Really enjoyed the food here. The cauliflower was especially great. Would’ve gave it a five star if the beet hummus were less salty. The blood orange cheese cake was really light and tasty. Will definitely return!
