Its mid-afternoon in Manhattan. 4:45pm on a Friday. I decided to step outside my office determined to find a healthy organic treat. After making my rounds through a few coffee shops that did not serve organic coffee made with filtered water and served with organic grass-fed milk, I decided to give Rawlicious a shot. I was always hesitant to try this place since it always appeared to be empty of organies (oraganic people). First, I was awkwardly greeted by someone who seemed to be a waitresses. I ordered a cup of coffee and 2 organic raw cookies. Obviously, since this is an all-organic restaurant I would assume they would have organic milk - but no, they only had almond milk. I agreed to give it a try, but once the waitress pulled it out in some strange looking jar, I was hesitant and declined it. After being handed my coffee in a to-go cup, it felt a little empty - I opened the lid and noticed the coffee cup was only half full! I asked why... she responded it's very strong and that's how they served it. I tried the coffee moments later and believe me as an avid coffee drinker it was not extraordinary by any means. My bill was 10 dollars for the coffee and two cookies. Totally not worth it. These guys need lesson or two on organics. Cheers!

I was disappointed in the value and quality of the food offered here. Manhattan has far better raw restaurants for the money (which can already be expensive), so trying this out really disappointed me. The pasta carbonara was bland, the flatbread not tasty at all, and the brownie ice cream combo were not tasty at all. Very dry (freezer burned?) I was just not impressed.

Rawlicious will be my new go to restaurant. The interior is elegant, the food is truly delicious, and, as is the case in many vegan restaurants in the city, the servers are lovely. The best part is even if you over-indulge here (and I have), you still don't feel the guilt that you would otherwise. Every dish on the menu is made of nutritious whole foods. I also agree with the previous reviewer that, while prices may seem a bit high, they are quite reasonable for a raw restaurant and a complete bargain when you consider the lovely space.

I have now eaten three meals at Rawlicious and each was outstanding. I've had the olilve, currant, nut, seed and greens salad; the collard wrap; and the nut loaf. I thoroughly enjoyed each. The restaurant is very comfortable and elegant--especially for the Centre St. location. The prices might seem high but they are not for raw food. Rawlicious is a very special place.
