"It can be extraordinarily hard to find options for late-night drunchies that are vegan or vegetarian. Behold Desi Stop: At this 24-hour deli, the samosa burger will only run you $5 and it’s made with actual vegetables: quinoa, chickpeas, and walnuts. It’s a worthy on-the-go snack no matter the time of day." - Eater Staff

"Hours: 24/7 When it comes to late-night food, it can be hard to find vegetarian-friendly options. Not so, at Desi Stop, a small snack shop serving one of Manhattan’s better veggie burgers, with a handmade patty." - Luke Fortney, Robert Sietsema

"Desi Stop and Deli is a small vegetarian snack shop located at 75 Second Avenue, between East Fourth and Fifth streets. It caters mainly to taxi drivers and college students with affordable and diverse food options. Among its offerings is the 'samosa burger', a vegetarian burger made with a patty of potato and onion, lettuce, tomato, and cottage cheese, served on a sesame seed bun with mayonnaise and hot sauce. The shop also offers items like roti, curries, grilled paneer sandwiches, stuffed paratha, and vegetarian hot dogs." - Luke Fortney
