Everything in this place is about wellness and health. From the books, to the vitamins, to the food, to the conversations youll have with the employees. The food is the most unbelievably delicious vegetarian/vegan food ive ever had, too. And over the years Ive eaten at many many vegetarian restaurants in NYC and NJ. Having this place in my hometown is one of the best things thats ever happened to me. I can just stop in and have a sweetly seasoned roast "chicken" wrap (made with seitan) or for dinner I may have the chicken or beef teriyaki with mixed vegetables does not skimp out on either the veggies or "chicken". The vegetables are a medley of some Chinese veggies that they definitely dont serve you in regular chinese restaurants. Try their soups, too. Pumpkin soup (which they have out right now, in October) is sweet and delicious. They also have a juice bar where you can order from a large list of fresh veggie & fruit mixed juices. Its definitely not easy being a vegetarian in this world. Especially considering the costs of Whole Foods (aka Whole Paycheck)...sometimes you wish you could just run into a fast-food restaurant and have a $5 dinner like the rest of the world can (no, i dont wish for the calories, high blood pressure, cholesterol, fat, and eating of innocent, beautiful animals) But the cost of alternative-eating diets can add up if youre not careful. But with places like this, that make me look forward to having cheap but delicious meals, you remember what its all about: A peace of mind knowing that you arent eating animals...and the health that ultimately comes along with this lifestyle. Natural Way Cafe has been open for over 2 years and I hope they are here forever. Driving by on busy Broadway in Fair Lawn, surrounded by nail shop after nail shop, you can easily miss it. But you should really check it out. Take your non-vegetarian friends here too, surprise them if they think vegans survive on carrots and Kashi.

I went to the Natural Way Cafe in Fair Lawn, NJ for the first time today. I felt such a need to write this review as quickly as possible! This food was absolutely delicious! My boyfriend ordered the Ginger Chicken Entree (which came loaded with strips of real fresh ginger!) and a protein-filled juice blend while I had the Teriyaki Wrap (with Beef instead of Chicken) and a kale,beet,banana,kiwi, and chlorophyll drink. I have done the vegan thing before (mainly for my health) and my boyfriend is slowly switching over from 100% carnivore. Neither one of us could believe that our meals had no meat in them. The "beef" was the perfect texture and had the flavor of a freshly grilled steak. My wrap came packed with fresh vegetables and was substantial enough in size that I was VERY full but not uncomfortably so. I am completely switching over to this place whenever I crave greasy chinese food or a quick fast food bite because for half the price I can enjoy a HEALTHY meal in a pleasant atmosphere that doesnt break the scale or my budget. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!

Fresh, delicious food...wonderfully friendly and caring staff. A pleasure to visit and will be going back again soon. Try their vegetarian beef and chicken dishes with veggies....so, so good! They have tintures of any extract or nettles you may be looking for and array of great gluten free, vegan and vegetarian products and some organic produce and products. Next time I go I will be sure to try their fresh wheatgrass juice, since Ive heard it, too, is delicious! Overall great experience from hello to see you again!

Freshly prepared food thats delicious. Only concerns are if their gluten and soy products are non-gmo since they comprise most of their meals. Also, I believe that there may be MSG and hydrogenated oil in the potato salad inari pouches. Inari pouches tend to contain MSG, soybeans and hydrogenated oil with some other questionable ingredients. Theyre delicious and I plan on inquiring about them as well as their soy and gluten products.

The food is delicious and incredibly healthy! Their "meat" entrees have fooled carnivore friends. I am gluten free and they have plenty of options for me as well. It is one of the only places around to get fresh wheatgrass juice as well as some amazing juice blends. The store is small but well stocked, and they will help you find what you need. The owner and staff are possibly the friendliest people ive ever met. I love this place!

I cannot believe that I have missed this place for so long! What a find!! A true sanctuary. The food is crazy delicious, fresh and healthy. The people who work there could be the absolute sweetest people you can ever hope to meet. I highly recommend their breakfast meals, any (and I do mean any) of their lunch specialties, and the shakes are to die for. Your life will be happier and better for it.

I love coming here!! I have a lot of vegan friends so I end up eating vegan w them when we go out. The food is delicious here and it tastes just as good as actual meat. Its good in its own right, actually. The staff here are so friendly and helpful and its such a calm place.

Great place! Youre welcomed by soothing sounds of nature as soon as you walk through the door. So many vegetarian options, once you walk in you feel the zen. Cute compact store full of all types of natural items, from essential oils, snacks to a dine in area.

I must say the food was delicious. Best Vegan and Natural Cafe thus far. Definitely will be going again . Friendly atmosphere I even met some great customers there as well with some amazing advice for detoxing. I will be going again very soon.

This is by far one of the best kept secrets of the neighborhood for people who are vegan or want to eat healthy. They also make fresh juices and smoothies and have a variety or healthy products you cant find elsewhere.

Veggie burger and tofu is awesome. If you like hot and spicy get it here, its a nice balance. All chicken and beef is vegetarian. They even make veggie beef jerky. Its pretty cool. Nice place to relax

Awesome vegan spot! The owners are so welcoming and insightful. My boyfriend, who LOVES chicken, really enjoyed his meal. I recommend to anyone who is vegan or is transiting.

The owners are the nicest people you will ever meet and the food is great! The menu is all vegan and even my meat-eating boyfriend loves it. We go here almost weekly.
