Leaf & Root, a vegan restaurant, is set to open in Harlem at 125 West 125th Street later this month. The menu will feature plant-based takes on Southern and Caribbean dishes.

Owners hope the new spot will serve the growing vegan community in the neighborhood. The team includes local chefs with experience in vegan cooking and community outreach.

They plan a soft opening on April 25 with reservations available online. The restaurant will focus on lunch and dinner service.
