Sentir is a wonderful Mexican themed all vegan restaurant with modern, industrial, and Mexican decor. It's ambiently lit with soft lighting, cool masks on the walls, and a great vibe for gathering with friends or a quiet lunch with small children. Every dish is plated BEAUTIFULLY. And thankfully, every dish tastes as good as it looks! The staff are very friendly and courteous. They really like to let you hang out and relax and not feel rushed. Some people may like that, others may not. I wasn't in a rush so it was fine for me. Highly recommended whether you're vegan or not.

Going on 4 months fasting for religious purposes and this restaurant is a God sent. I'm happy I stumbled into it after my acupuncture session. The food was amazing. I'm not someone who craves meat but this place definitely makes you feel like you're soooo close to eating actual meat. The arepitas were astounding. Definitely recommend. The chicken quesadilla was great as well and more than enough for two. Sentir guac was good, and so was the maduros with queso and refried beans. Had left over chips from the guac and paired it with the refried beans from the maduros. Definitely a new top 5 restaurant of mine in general.

The food is top tier, it immediately became my favorite Mexican spot the first time I went. I LOVED their benedict, such a rich flavor. The dessert is also incredible. We had their chicken taco and it was unforgettable! I can go back every week!!

The food here just ABSOLUTELY blew me away!!!! I had the coconut ceviche and was amazing, the chicken quesadillas i think was my favorite so delicious! The Carne asada and the Birria tacos tasted better than the real deal! So impressive! The whole staff was so nice!!! Ryan made me feel at home from the moment I walked in and Dylan was the best server ever! Both were so kind and attentive! Don’t forget to try one of the deserts cause they were top tier!! Probably one of the best vegan restaurants in NYC. Highly recommended!!!!!

This was my first time going to a vegan restaurant (I'm not vegan) and I must say, for a vegan restaurant everything tasted, felt, and looked like the real deal. I was impressed with the flavor of everything from the appetizers to the desserts and beverages. Absolutely amazing!! If you're looking for a great experience, vibe, and delicious food and beverage without worrying about health and nutrition this is your spot! Thank you for wonderful service and a great experience. p.s. I traveled from DC and googled kosher restaurants in Manhattan and this is the spot that popped up and I am so happy to have experienced such art!

This is probably the place I’d rave most about in NYC right now. The food is absolutely incredible, probably the best vegan food I’ve ever had. Every single item hit the mark in terms of taste and flavor. I hate Mexican food and I was truly stunned. I highly recommend giving this place a try. I feel like I’ll be spamming this place a lot over the next few times when I eat out!

One of our top 3 fave restaurants anywhere! Anytime we're craving Mexican food, we come here. It's hard to try new things because we definitely have our faves - Chicken Quesadillas, Elote Asado, Chicken Mole, Chicken Enchiladas and the Fish tacos... omg too good. It's such a vibrant bar scene (they even have a Horchata!) too and don't miss the churros simply for the dipping sauces - not embarrassed to say we ate the rest plain! We came once for the brunch and it did not dissapoint. We're already planning our next visit here soon - the food here is really that good! All vegan is also a huge bonus!
