Beloved vegan burger spot delivering bold flavors and crispy fries, best for casual eat-in or takeaway; prices are mid-to-high for fast casual, and space is tiny with occasional consistency and hygiene complaints.
VEG'D delivers genuinely impressive vegan burger quality with crispy fries and standout sauces that win over even skeptical diners, supported by friendly, attentive service. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from mushy delivery fries to occasional burnt patties—and isolated but notable hygiene concerns prevent a higher grade. The cramped Friedrichshain location works for quick visits but limits the overall dining experience, making this a worthwhile neighborhood spot rather than a destination.
A compact Friedrichshain spot turning out vegan burgers that even die-hard carnivores admire, this place feels cozy and bustling with riders zipping in for deliveries. Service is often genuinely friendly, and the chili cheeze and house sauces win fans. One diner summed it up: "Best plant-based burger I have had in years." Minor caveats appear around wait times and the tiny space. The cooking leans comfort-first vegan rather than avant-garde: smash-style patties, Beyond options, crispy fries, and playful riffs like kimchi chicken. It hits the craving for greasy-good without the animal impact. Most find prices fair for specialty vegan, though a few call combos pricey; go for the weekday lunch deal if you can. Families do fine here thanks to nuggets, classic fries, and mild burgers. There is no clear gluten-free bun option, so gluten-avoiding families should plan sides-heavy or verify before visiting. Space is tight, so quick meals work better than long sit-downs.
