Jungle Cafe - Brooklyn

I recommend you RUN to get this mushroom grilled cheese! Delicious food! Love the place!

The polish tacos were amazing. And the vibes and service were on point.

I think this place has so much potential but truly, I just spent $27 on the buffet food and got not even a full meal. The prices here are really outrageous for what they actually offer. The service is pretty much not existent and I am beyond perplexed because the place looks so nice. Business could be doing so much better if they actually cared about a lot of the things that make it all the difference. I don’t think I’m ever bring my money here again bc there’s no way i could afford this. It’s Brooklyn, remember that. Stop coming to our neighborhoods and sucking our earned dollars and slacking at what it actually means to service/host patrons of the neighborhood.

I have been a regular customer of Jungle cafe for several years. I really appreciate the menu and have had great meals and baked goods here over the years. Like some of the other customers, I have noticed that the portions have shrunk which makes certain items feel really not worth the price. I have also noticed the portion size and how the menu items are prepared is really inconsistent. For example the macro bowl might not come with beet salad like it says on the menu or might come with squash instead of sweet potato without warning. It almost seems like they are just working with what they have on hand, but it should be described differently on the menu if that's the case. The hot bar doesn't seem to have as much variety as it used to but maybe i'm just catching off days. The wait can be unreasonably long sometimes so I'm in the habit of calling ahead. I also once placed a pick up order only to realize the restaurant was closed. I had to come back the next day to ask for a refund. To summarize I really like Jungle Cafe's menu and ambiance, but I feel like it has become very hit or miss. I would encourage the management to train the cooks better so that the food is consistent. Even if menu items are more expensive at least people will know what to expect.

I usually come for the hot buffet bar. It's great value: $12-15 for a good-sized portion of freshly prepared vegan food. I also like the funky, low key, non-uptight vibe of the establishment. It's truly a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the madding crowds. I'm Back! The mushroom gravy tonight is On Point! Keep up the good work!
