Ras Plant Based: Innovative Vegan Ethiopian Cuisine in Brooklyn

From Texas my friend who lives here loved it and recommended so we came. It was my first time eating Ethiopian food and it did not disappoint. The spices, the flavor, the temperature 10000/10000 i wanted to savor every bite. The portions were decent i took half home. That vegan Mac n cheese is a dream truly! Our server was patient. Very intimate beautiful atmosphere. That drink was immature!! I was tipsy off one which I loved!!!! Not water down and the taste and name was soooo cuteeeee

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ras Plant Based – aka the Purveyors of Vibes Ras Plant Based is one of those spots that keeps pulling you back in. I’ve been here multiple times: both dining in and ordering takeout, and it never disappoints. The food is vibrant, fresh, and full of flavor. The injera is soft and perfect, the lentils and veggies are seasoned beautifully, and every dish feels made with real care and authentically Ethiopian. The vibe inside is warm and inviting, with staff who are always kind and genuinely happy to help you navigate the menu. Whether you’re vegan or just exploring, it’s an easy place to feel at home. And here’s the pro tip: pickup is quick. If you’re hungry and need something delicious right away, this is your cheat code. Their orders almost always come out faster than the estimated time. It’s the kind of spot that becomes part of your weekly rhythm: reliable, flavorful, and always there when you need a little Ethiopian comfort from the neighborhood.

Loved this place! We ordered a platter for two- so many flavors, everything was incredibly tasty. The nachos were a great starter, and the lentil burger was absolutely delicious!! Our server was very attentive (sadly forgot his name), drinks were amazing too. Cozy atmosphere, dim lighting, not noisy at all. perfect spot to enjoy with your people. Will definitely be back

Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. The injera nachos were delicious and the platter for 2 was enormous. My mocktail was also reasonably priced. Definitely will come back!

I went to RAS for brunch with my girl friends. The French toast was out of this world. My Ethiopian iced coffee latte was soo yummy. Our server Eddie was so funny, knowledgeable about the menu and very hospitable. A note if you are ordering the potato hash, they aren’t super soft. If you are like me and only like soft potatoes, ask for them to be well done. Sambusas were delicious

I love Ras, I’ve been here so many times! One thing that frustrates me however is the portion size, especially for their brunch. This is not a fine dining experience, it’s a creative approach to Ethiopian food - so why is the portion so tiny?? You have to order to main entrees to leave satisfied. It’s really inappropriate to be this stingy considering the price point. This meal is off the Ras brunch menu, it was so tasty but it’s something you eat in 5 bites for $21. So disappointing if you want to save your appetite for their brunch.

"Purveyor of Good Vibes" is the objective and they crushed it! Ingrid, our server was outstanding she helped us choose drinks, apps and our entre. As first time paytrons we really appreciated her understanding of the menu and creating a memorable experience, the flavors, textures, aromatics, it was a series of flavor bombs. The presentation invites you to dive into your meal, we will definitely make the trip for truly authentic Ethiopian cuisine.

Heard a lot of great things about RAS and glad we finally came by. We ordered some of the most popular items on the menu and everything was delicious. As far as Ethiopian cuisine, the food is just okay. We’ve had other Ethiopian vegetarian dishes which had a bit more of a wow factor to it. I love the vibe inside and the people are wonderful here. It’s a great place to try something new out and get some delicious drinks. Would highly recommend stopping by and trying this place out if you haven’t yet.
