47 Best Vegan Restaurants in Silver Spring

“Everything you expect from a Jewish Style Deli and so much more. Best potato ladkes, blintzes and deli sandwiches. A must visit every time I’m in town.“

“Great local bar with a rotating selection of beer on tap. The staff is great and the prices are extremely reasonable. Burger Monday is one of the best specials in the DC area.The spicy BLT has no business being as good as it is. It is excellent.“

“it's the best restaurant in the DC area by far.“

“This was our first time at Spice Street. We were thoroughly impressed by the atmosphere and absolutely by the food! The staff was very friendly! We absolutely recommend this restaurant!!“

“Burgers are delicious. Fries as well. Interesting beers on tap“

“It’s a cute, little bakery run by some lovely, wonderful people.I’m a pretty big guy who used to be overweight. My love for sugar is still very much present lol. That said, whenever I eat anything from here, I don’t feel that “guilt” or “shame” you feel when you prick up a candy bar.Everything that I’ve tried here is the perfect amount of sweet. Not too much, not too little. It will satisfy your sweet tooth without making your doctor cry at the amount of sugar you just ingested.It’s also very filling. I can easily eat 2-3 donuts from a donut shop. Meanwhile, I’ll be 3/4 of the way thru a pastry from this bakery and I’ll struggle to eat the rest. I want to eat the rest because they’re VERY delicious but it’s more than meets the eye.Also extremely well priced. The average for a single pastry or slice of cake seems to be right below $4 I think. Might be slightly off but the point is I didn’t feel like I was spending a lot. Again, for something that will fill a grown man up without being half your daily amount of calories in a single serving like some of these other sweets, this place is near impossible to beat.I love this place“

“Nice food good service and good prices“

“The staff was very friendly. I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. They have an assortment of baked goods and other food. I had the overnight oats, which were pretty good. I also had a coffee, but I didn't love the flavour. I think it might be a matter of taste. I think this place is worth a try!“

“delicious food, but the workers are really rude“

“Great food and awesome service! We had a great time“

“I came in here with high expectations and the smoothie delivered even above them!However, when someone doesn't know an ingredient, you tell them. You don't say 'chocolate is chocolate' if someone doesn't know what chocolate is.I wish I lived here to come all the time, even with that.Seriously good smoothies.“

“One of my favorite places. For starters the food is Amazing!, I recommend their summer rolls with Shrimp, I can’t come here without ordering it. Their pho will have you come back just like I haveand the service is top notch, everyone here is super nice.“

“I ended up at the Weathon location just by chance while waiting for an appointment in the area. The place is a counter with few tables located in the Civic Center/Library Hall. Coffee is really good, pastry was fresh and the lady at the counter was polite and kind. Highly recommended“

“An avid Greek cuisine lover, I am always on the lookout for some really good souvlaki or gyro, Greek salads or other fabulous eats, having tried them from Oregon to Florida! I recently ran across BGC while in the Silver Spring area around lunch time, and boy, am I glad I did! For being a small place, I was impressed with their lively and bright, yet not overwhelming décor - it not louder than your lunch, helping to savor and enjoy the experience. It was nice, neat, convenient, and the counter staff is very friendly and attentive. I was sold BGC the moment I bit into their huge and hard to handle, but incredibly delicious Bifteki Pita with a side of peppers and feta cheese, and a Coke! Anyone who can make something this good, has to make everything just as well. I had the pleasure of briefly meeting the busy Big Greek himself, coming out of the kitchen briefly to say hi and receive my compliment. Anyone who enjoys excellent Greek fare, has to put the Big Greek Café on their bucket list of eateries. I'll see you as soon as I can get back to BGC. Bon appétit!“

“Recommended by a friend who we were staying in DC with. Ash, our host, was warm, welcoming, and very attentive. Food was magnificent. Definitely glad we spent some time there, and only regret is they don’t deliver to the UK!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“1 cheese and 3 everything bagels: $8.84 with a 10% tip. Lots of melted cheese and lots of toppings on the everythings.The store is clean. Neat to watch the bagels being made.There is no seating in the restaurant.There were bags of six day old bagels available on Friday at 8am.“

“Delicious food, good music playing in the background and prices are comparable. The whole restaurant only had one waitress plus the bartender. She was very friendly but had to wait a while for our drinks and refills.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options.“

“Plnt Burger is absolutely amazing my new favorite place to eat. There chicken sandwich and nuggets reminded me so much like chick fila. Everything tasted very clean and so fresh. Quality of the food is 10/10 and they have a good variety of sauces all are delicious. I highly recommend.“

“Mild Indian food - fit and easy to try for rookie food explore. Anyway, overall is still tastes good. The highlight is about service, very polite and professional. Price is a little bit more expensive than others because it makes from organic products. Location in downtown Silver Spring- no free parking spot near the restaurant - but there are a few meters parking around and garages are available.“

“My sister and I enjoyed a wonderful authentic meal at Melekete Restaurant. The waitresses were very friendly with beautiful smiles and they helped us pronounce the names of the entrees. The atmosphere was very cozy and the light jazz complements the setting. At the end of the dinner, we were both surprised when the waitress brought a complimentary slice of strawberry shortcake for my sister and then the whole restaurant lit up with the “Happy Birthday to Ya” song by Stevie Wonder. It was an unforgettable evening. Thank you for a job well done, Melekete Restaurant! We will come back to see you soon!“

“Great Korean fried chicken and cheesesteaks“

“I haven't eaten at Cooper Canyon Grill in 10 years and that has been a mjstake. The occasion was wonderful and the food was great. From the cornbread appetizer, to the rattlesnack pasta, everything was fantastic. Our server, Feci, only been working for 2 days, provided excellent service along with her fellow coworkers. I am definitely going back soon to experience this quality again. Thank you.“

“The food truck was at our office this week. It was delicious and the portions huge, I had leftovers for dinner the next night. Hope they come back soon!“

“The food is amazing! I highly recommend everything!!“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Been here dozens of times over the years. And the rumors are true. Easily the best pollo a la brasa place in the area. Chicken and sauces are reliably excellent and very reasonably priced. Feeding a family of four with room to spare for $22 is something you can't even do at McDonalds these days. Sides are limited in variety, but they're ok. Only gripe is the fried yuca is often chewy, hard, and/or dry. But skip that menu item, and you'll be fine.“

“I just had a company meeting here and it was excellent! Service and food was phenomenal as always. I can’t thank them enough for providing a great atmosphere for me and my company. I will definitely be having a team meeting here again.“

“I love it, the food is fresh and service is excellent!“

“The food was delicious and beautiful atmosphere“

“Enjoyed a great dinner at Beteseb Restaurant when we came into town for the funeral of a dear Ethiopian friend. The food was excellent and the owner/chef and her brother (who was our server) were very kind, helpful, and welcoming. I highly highly recommend this place, especially for their kitfo!“

“Solid Chinese takeout and carry out food in the downtown Silver Spring area! Did takeout from this restaurant the other for a late lunch and glad I did. The food was prepared fresh and delicious. I ordered a General Tso's Lunch Special and a Sweet n' Sour Soup. All were prepared perfect and tasted excellent. Food was ordered and ready right on time; roughly 10 minutes from the time I walked in and placed the order. Not sure with what the food would look like as this was my first time coming here, I was in for a pleasant surprise. The General Tso's Chicken was still piping hot even after driving back home for about 15 minutes. And, most of all not soggy or mushy!.... something I can't stand when ordering takeout!! The plate and servings were hefty and quite generous. The chicken was a mixed between white and dark meat. It was seasoned just right and so crispy, even after sitting in the container for my drive back home. The General Tso sauce was very tasty as well. My only gripe is that the dish comes with fried rice and I am not sure with what's up with most of the carryouts around the DMV, but a lot of them served this yellow - orangish fried rice that is not the most appealing to me, but I must honestly admit....it was dang good. Lol. I prefer a more wok-charred, brown fried rice over the neon fried rice served here and other places around the DMV. The Hot n' Sour soup gets a thumbs-up and good marks from my end. It was tangy, spicy, and sweet all roll into one. A delicious bowl of tofu, mushrooms, tamarind, and spices that aim to please. In all, Mandarin Restaurant is a solid option when in the Downtown Silver Spring Area and you are looking for something good to eat. The owner was very pleasant and he greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. His wife was very friendly as well and made sure I had all the proper fixings I needed to complete my dish; including my request for extra soy sauce and hot chili oil which complimented and elevated both dishes very well. If it wasn't for the neon orange looking fried rice, I probably would've given this place five stars as a first impression. Also, they could've served more broccoli in the dish than the two pieces that I received Lol -- see pic as receipts. The restaurant itself has limited seating but it appeared to be a popular takeout service with most that came in and patroned the place. A decent winner in my book and will definitely be back to try out other dishes.“

“Enjoyed my meal and enjoyed the customer service thanks“

“Food was soo good!!! I heard about BIBIBOP before I landed in DC. ITS REALLY GOOD #truth“

“Very good food, with the best flavor in the area!!“

“Mango salad is amazing! Sweet and spicy. We had the panang chicken and charm Thai noodle special. Both dishes were packed with flavor. The restaurant has limited seatingbwhich allows them to get food out fast and piping hot. This place will be going on our restaurant rotation.“

“Delicious food. Great service.“

“McGinty,s is a family favorite because the food is always delicious and the atmosphere is fun, casual and comfortable!“

“I have been to many Ethiopian restaurants in the DMV. Rohobot is the most recommended by my Ethiopian friends. The food is sooo flavorful and the owner is nice too! I order the veggie platter (which is vegan). Enjoy a meal here, your tastebuds will thank you.“

“Fantastic food. Like, subscribe, and smash that delivery button. So delicious. Order the drunken noods. You won't regret it. Now, this...**_Soliloquy of the Drunken Thai Noodles_***(The stage is dimly lit. A single spotlight illuminates a steaming bowl of noodles center stage.)***Noodle**: *(in a slurred, noodle-like voice)*Oh, woe is me! A tangled mess of rice and spice, swimming in the murky broth of my own existence. I, the humble Thai noodle, once firm and resolute, now sway like a drunken sailor on choppy seas.**Broth**: *(gurgling)*Noodle, why dost thou lament? Is it the fiery chili that burns thy delicate strands? Or perhaps the fragrant lemongrass that whispers secrets of distant lands?**Noodle**: *(swirling in the broth)*Nay, 'tis not the spices that trouble my starched soul. It is the fate that binds me to this ceramic vessel—a vessel that cradles the sorrows of countless hungry souls. I am but a fleeting pleasure, a fleeting slurp, lost in the labyrinth of taste buds.**Bean Sprouts**: *(poking their heads above the surface)*Hark! The noodle speaks truth. We, too, are but ephemeral beings, born from the soil, sprouting forth to dance upon this savory stage. Our crunch, our freshness—it matters not. We, too, shall drown in the broth of oblivion.**Basil Leaves**: *(rustling)*Yet, dear noodle, dost thou not see? Our destiny lies not in the depths of this bowl, but in the hearts of those who consume us. For with each chopstick wielded, with each slurp, we become memories—fragments of flavor etched into their souls.**Noodle**: *(twirling)*Ah, sweet basil, your wisdom transcends the steam rising from this cauldron. But tell me, when the last chopstick descends, when the final drop of broth is drained, what then? Shall we be forgotten, lost in the haze of drunken revelry?**Broth**: *(bubbling)*Fear not, my noodle friend. For even as the bowl empties, our essence lingers—a hint of lemongrass on parted lips, a memory of warmth on a cold winter's night. We are sustenance and sentiment, nourishing both body and soul.**Noodle**: *(swaying)*Then let us embrace our fate, fellow ingredients! Let us revel in the slurps, the stumbles, the laughter that accompanies our descent. For we are more than mere sustenance; we are poetry in a porcelain bowl, a symphony of flavors that echoes through time.*(The spotlight fades, leaving only the aroma of Thai spices lingering in the air.)*“

“The service can be slow on Sundays but the food is amazing.. Sunday sessions are always a vibe with the DJ.“

“We love dining in Gourmet Inspirations for their dim sum. We’re happy that they still offer their dim sum for carry out. Easiest way is to order from their webpage. Pick up was a breeze! They had one entrance and one exit with marks on the floor to practice social distancing. I hope they remain open during this pandemic. ❤️“

“Great, locally made ice cream. They've got a wide selection of flavors, including some less common options like honey lavender. The service was amazing, and the gentleman who helped us was very patient with our kids. They've also got books and board games available in the seating area.Kid-friendliness: Very patient service, let the kids sample a couple flavors when they couldn't decide.“

“This place is easily one of my favorite finds of 2023. I was greeted with a Salaam, which was very nice! Silver Spring is such a diverse place and this small minority/immigrant-owned business is one of its many gems. There is a large cafe attached to a bakery. The bakery takes phone orders for larger events and orders. There are also breakfast items like bagels. There are about 7 options of cakes by the slice ranging from the namesake Tiramisu (which was delicious) to Black Forest to Italian Rum cake. What I found both impressive and inclusive is that almost (if not each) cake option has a vegan option! One slice of Tiramisu was $5.87. I ordered two slices of Tiramisu and one slice of Italian Rum cake and both were worth going back for. There is outdoor seating and a few tables inside so it's really a perfect little place for dessert after a dinner or movie date or just a quick pop-in on a weekend mid-morning or afternoon, or any day of the week really if you just want to grab a coffee. In a world where everything is becoming the same, it's nice to find small but quaint little coffee/cake shops around town.“
