33 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Albany

“What a delicious and delightful and beautiful treasure. The food is absolutely tantalizing. I mean everything is oh so good. I can’t wait to eat here again. Definitely gonna take home some loaded lamb fries. The platters…the sparkling lemonade…the lentil soup…I could go on and on. Just a pleasant surprise. Mmm mm m.“

“Friends here visiting and found this gem of a place! Best thing is we didn’t have to go far! Food was delicious!“

“China Village is a must-try!
If you’re craving real Chinese food, this place has it all. Their Spicy Boiled Fish blew my mind — spicy, flavorful, and addictive. The Sesame Chicken and Sweet and Sour Pork were both crispy and packed with flavor.

I’m also obsessed with their shrimp dumplings and handmade noodles — fresh, tasty, and super satisfying.

And guess what? They have dim sum all day! That’s a game-changer.
Super clean, super tasty, and super friendly staff. Go check it out!“

“todo delicioso 😋 y fresco y muy limpio“

“This establishment, while offering a full menu, identifies itself as a wine bar. This was made clear to our party as we were deciding what to order. It's best to consider this location as a wine bar that also serves shareable, tapas-style food.

Our group of four sampled the following:

Meaza Platter: A good starter. Due to an eggplant allergy, we requested the baba ghanoush be served separately. This request prompted another reminder that the focus is on wine, not food. While they wouldn't serve the baba ghanoush on a separate plate, they offered to substitute it with more of another item, like hummus.
Chicken Shawarma: This was the most popular dish among our group. The chicken was flavorful, and the portion size was generous, suitable for one person or for sharing.
Beef and Lamb Shawarma: A decent dish, but not as well-received as the chicken shawarma. The portion size was comparable to the chicken shawarma.
Cucumber Salad: A refreshing addition to the meats and rice.
Basmati Rice: Both shawarma plates included rice, but we ordered an extra portion.
Pita Bread: We were told the pita bread was homemade and fresh. However, the bowl contained a mix of textures: half resembled Stacy's pita chips, while the other half was soft wheat pita. The combination wasn't ideal, particularly as the soft pita warmed the crispy pieces.
Other Details:

Restrooms are located in the back, past the hostess stand and near the kitchen.
Street parking is available.“

“Best saag I’ve ever had! Wonderful salmon tandoori. Amazing chai 👏🏻!“

“I order the pumpkin curry. It was delicious. I also ordered the Tom Ka chicken soup. It was too tart, the chicken over cooked. A disappointment for a soup I usually love“

“I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and I finally got to visit here.
The momo dumplings are delicious!
The garlic Naan bread was so good as well.
Definitely will be returning for the mango Lassi drink for sure.
Great serive and the parking is not bad at all. I got lucky that day.
I look forward to try more dishes!
Thank you so much Everest Kitchen for your amazing food!!“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“This is the best Thai restaurant I’ve been to in the East Bay. So I and my friends keep coming back. The dishes are really well done, and the portions are quite good too. While, it can get a little noisy when it’s full, most of the time it’s OK. I particularly love the corn cheese fritters, the jumbo garlic, shrimp, the exquisite, coconut soup, and the ginger dish. The wait staff have been universally considerate and excellent.“

“The best pork bun in the Bay Area, no joke, great value!“

“I went to Kim’s Cafe and Sandwiches for the first time yesterday and had their Turmeric Noodle Soup. It was one of the best soups I’ve ever had, and I can’t wait to go back. Customer service was great and there were many open tables available. Thank you!“

“Had a great lunch. Bento 🍱 boxes and sushi 🍣“

“Un rendez-vous avec la bonne gastronomie le service rapide et l’endroit agréable merci 🙏“

“I definitely recommend wojia! I have come here multiple times, both with two other people. I believe it is authentic cuisine, and all the staff are fluent in Mandarin. 90% of the food is spicy, however depending on the dish you can ask the waiter to remove the spiciness. If you have spice intolerance, I don't recommend going here, but if you do, I hope you have a great time!“

“Scones are freshly baked, delicious, yams and eggs, my favorite, it’s healthy and yummy, hot mocha/chocolate taste great, not an ordinary….. love it 😍“

“I love going to Duo Grill for brunch. They have really good food, the service is great, you get your food right away and it's never crowded. Honestly, it is such an underrated place.
I always ask for spicy chilaquiles and they never dissapoint. Their beans are also the best!“

“I really like the sushi rolls and the calm atmosphere at Sumo. Hot tea and miso soup to start on a rainy evening. It was my first time having the GoGo roll, with shrimp, avocado, cucumber and DF asparagus... give it a try! The baked scallop roll is a warm savory treat as well.“

“The best beer ever and the best staff ever and super cute and I just love this place so much and everyone should go here right now.“

“The food is amazing! We had a great experience“

“I always get the vegetable tempura it comes with rice and we also get the California sushi rolls it’s always fresh and delicious best sushi and Japanese food I think it’s family run everyone there is very nice high quality ingredients and food you won’t be disappointed

Kid-friendliness: My son n had fun he’s 6 years old they have television and music very nice atmosphere“

“Great food and quick service! A must try place if you’re in the area!“

“I love this pizza spot. Food, cocktails and atmosphere are all great.

The crust on their pizza really sets them apart. It is a corn meal crust and gives a great crunch.

I recommend coming here for date night or as a casual catch-up with friends. They also have a wonderful lunch and happy hour menu.“

“Food is delicious! My server was welcoming and the food was served hot and neatly. I was offered GF and vegetarian options that were delicious! Definitely recommended.“

“23 years a customer, only great meals! Looking forward to stopping by on my next visit to the area.“

“Always delicious Indian food! My family and I always come here when we are in the neighborhood. Maude and Rosemarie are very gracious hosts. I highly recommend this restaurant seven days a week. :)“

“Walk down San Pablo without smelling the burgers and going inside to order early lunch challenge level: impossible. My favorite diner style burger in the East Bay. If you're in the area and about to grab some fast food, do your taste buds a favor and pop in here to support a fantastic family owned restaurant instead! The price is the same but the quality will be a world apart.“

“Drunken noodles were amazing. Curry chicken was ok. Fried rice was ok. Slightly pricey (almost $3 for a small bowl of white rice). Soup was not very good.

They have a limited and pricey alcohol menu, but the servers know almost nothing about drinks.

If you find the right dish, and aren't looking for drinks, it is an ok place to eat. Servers are friendly.“

“It’s a huge explosion of salty and umami!! If you like strong flavors, I highly recommend it. ㅜㅜ 2 pieces of corn, potato, and sausage per person, and garlic noodles (this is the amount of garlic for Koreans). Please make sure to order it. It's so drinkable..“

“Best thin crust I've found in east bay; close to my favorite place in NYC when I lived in Manhattan years ago. You can't beat da deal of 2 slices AND a drink for just under 10 bucks.

Vegetarian options: See photo of new vegetarian options.“

“Words cand describe how delicious this food was! Not my first time either! 10 out of 10 for me! VERY FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE STAFF! Make you feel so comfortable OMG IM DEFINITELY GOING BACK! 🤤🤤🤤🤤♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“Gordo's is just the frigging best. I know it is actually "Gordo Taqueria", but I've called it "Gordo's" for 25 years and I can't change! You guys are great!“
