It was a great experience going to Daily Veg, a new vegan restaurant in Newark, Delaware. Daily Veg is located on the busy, bright main street of the University of Delaware campus. With the hustle and bustle of students and locals walking around, it is in a great location, and it is the first 100% vegan restaurant that students can walk to. The first thing I noticed was how kind the workers are. They asked if I had ever had vegan food before, and then fully explained the menu. The menu consists of fresh smoothie bowls, homemade milkshakes, and soups, salads, burgers, wraps, and more!! I decided on the Daily Chick’n Deluxe Sandwich with Kale Salad, and also a bowl of Tomato Basil Soup. Since I was dining with friends, I also got to try the Crispy Chick’n Caesar Salad. As we headed to an outdoor table after ordering, they rushed out and disinfected it prior to us sitting down – I was impressed by how observant and proficient they were. They brought us our food in under ten minutes!

     Regarding the food, it all was wonderful. The Chick’n Deluxe was very flavorful, with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and a garlic herb aioli that packed a punch! The patty was house-breaded, juicy, and had an incredible texture. You would not think this sandwich was vegan! For the price, it was big and filling. The kale salad it came with was simple but the perfect pairing for such a large meal. Next was the Tomato Basil soup – honestly, the best I have ever had. It was piping hot when it came out, had the perfect amount of seasoning (great basil flavor), and was a very large serving that I could not even finish. I was so glad I got to try some of the Crispy Chick’n Caesar next – it tasted exactly like what I remember a typical restaurant Caesar salad should be, in vegan form! Fresh lettuce, creamy dressing, and Chick’n that was crunchy and delicious.

     I would definitely come back to Daily Veg, and soon. Even though the place may seem small, they have a good amount of seating indoors and a modern and inviting environment. The prices were reasonable, the food was great and came out fast, and the staff was grateful to have us. What more could you ask? Visit Daily Veg in Newark, DE, or at their other location in Pike Creek, DE.
