Locals line up at this small, colorful Harlem eatery for its unique brand of vegetarian and vegan "soul food" with a heavy Caribbean influence. No alcohol available. BYOB. Serving breakfast Mon–Fri, lunch and dinner daily.
"The name Strictly Roots isn't strictly accurate: While the food here is all vegan, it's far more varied and interesting than plain old tubers. In fact, the dishes are almost as colorful as the Rasta-inspired paint job on the walls and provide a healthy alternative to Harlem's traditional fatty soul food."
– Lauren Aaronson, New York magazine
