50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Berkeley

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“The food inside is delicious and healthy portions. The service here is great too!“

“The lamb chops were phenomenal!“

“What a lovely surprise to find such tasty, healthy food so close to home, friendly staff, on time! Lightly cooked but high-protein and *yummy*“

“Upbeat generous dude with tasty wholesome food.“

“Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and delicious food and veggie options!“

“So this place has something going with the baguette sandwiches. There's not really anywhere within a 10 block radius to get anything that feels like an actual breakfast option that's not a sweet pastry . The problem is that they're served late and the veggie option runs out fast, usually with a mountain of ham & cheese remaining.

Would be cool to have two vegetarian options or just make more cause I'd eat these for breakfast and / or lunch any time.“

“I lived in Berkeley in the 80’s & early 90’s. To this day, I miss their veggie pot stickers & Kung Pao Chicken. I love the Long Life Vegi House 💚💚💚“

“How am I the first person to review this place?? Laura is one of the best in the industry. For those that don't know, she was the right arm for Toni Gemignani, arguably the most famous pizza maker on the planet, through a whole bunch of his concepts since the beginning of both of their careers. She opened her own place in Berkeley and it's great to see her continuing to thrive at the level she did with Tony. Also the food is really good. The sleeper here might be the pasta which gets as much love as the pizzas.“

“The food is scrumptious, fast service & glorious sunshine as we basked enjoying the fried chicken sandwiches with spicy slaw Beyond yummy !“

“Best Indian cuisine in all of Berkeley, do yourself a favor and stop in! great people, great food, a real gem in the city.“

“Cha-Ya is very good traditional Japanese food that is all vegan. All of their food is excellent from the sushi to the udon to the various small plate offerings. The ingredients are so fresh and high quality and the food is so comforting and delicious. Prices are quite reasonable, but be aware that it is cash or venmo only. There is rarely a wait for a table, and the service is quick and friendly. It's got a homey/old school vibe and isn't a chic modern place, but that's a good match to the very homey traditional food. Highly recommend if you want a big meal that will leave you feeling great at the end.“

“love this place. Food is fresh and delicious. Owner is also very hospitable and always greets us with a warm 😃“

“I went at 8:10PM (20 minutes before closing), and they treated me so kindly and let me stay and eat past the closing time. I had a great experience because not only was the food delicious, so was the service, ambiance, and treatment. The food is 100% made with love and you can taste it.“

“Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking into this family owned establishment, The environment was clean, and the people were very kind. The menu was exceptional with great prices. I got the chicken Marcella, the naan, and the salmon which was the daily special. The chicken Masala was perfectly spiced. I got the mild because I can't eat spicy food. I dipped the naan in it and it tasted perfect. The naan was big and fresh and its own separate bag, so I was able to take it home and munch on it later now the salmon was delicious. It was super crispy and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning was complementary to the fish. it was wonderful to be able to talk to the Chef and get to know the people that cooked my food. The chef that's been working there. He's on the establishment for a while and he's been cooking for over 40 years. He also told me that he is from New York, which definitely shows in his food because this Indian Pakistani restaurant is definitely authentic. I will drive an hour and a half to come back here again. Definitely would recommend them for Catering or a nice dinner date.“

“Simply Quality! Whenever I see Organic Tofu that's my dish as it's clean and tastes perfect. Of course it also has to be cooked right which the Chef did for sure. I had the green curry with the kombucha pumpkin, two different types of cauliflower, and zucchini that actually had flavor. The owners both were lovely and came to check on me to make sure I was satisfied. Well I am and can't wait to return and try some fried rice or stir fry. Thank You!“

“open mic Tuesdays and the food and atmosphere!“

“This was my 2nd time at Eggys. The food 😋 was delicious and the service was great! The first time I went on the weekend so there was a bit of a wait. But this I went during the week for lunch with a old friend and the atmosphere was everything. The service and recommendations we're just right..and the sangria amazing!!!“

“The food was delicious and the service was good. The serving size is also solid and no complaints about it. The fries were delicious and perfectly crunchy. Super amazing, a bit oily but lovely. The restraunt isn’t the most nice looking and I did remove a star because the bathroom was really dirty. But besides that the food was good and the price was good.“

“I enjoy this restaurant very much. The food is excellent and fresh. it’s served hot every time. The servers can speed up with taking orders but otherwise, they are o.k. The restaurant is ok. The seating is too close for me but I get it. There’s No parking. It’s excellent.“

“chocolate croissants!!💖.“

“My sister and I just had a couple of Cali Alley burgers delivery and these things are good! Next time I'm in Berkeley, I will definately order again.“

“ and they put their own twists on classic Spanish tapas dishes.

I was happy to see a nice little neighborhood spot like this absolutely jumping on a Saturday evening for dinner. And service was still professional, fast, and as friendly as possible considering the crowd. Reservations highly recommended.“

“Lovely, fresh, cheerful, simple, spotlessly clean, inexpensive South Indian spot on Telegraph. I tried the Idli Vada Combo with sambar and coconut chutney, and a cup of chai. The sambar was nice and everything was so fresh! The vada was extra light and crunchy. I'll be back for the thayirsadam when I'm a bit hungrier! Check it out!“

“I’m a pizza fanatic and this is hands down the best pizza I’ve ever had. Better then anything in NY and Connecticut (Pepe’s, Sally’s). The Brazilian was next level pizza“

“My dinner partner and I both agree that the physical atmosphere, and food were excellent. The place was almost empty on a Sunday night yet the service was mediocre. We had to keep tracking down the waiter for our hot water for the tea, box for take away, etc. Inattentive. The staff also seemed unhappy or dissatisfied with their jobs. The prices have gone up so don’t feel we got value for our money“

“Absolutely delicious!“

“Oh how I miss Anchalee! Beautiful cozy decor and the food is amazing. I have great memories of this place. Time to make my way back to enjoy.“

“Wow acme is so good. If you haven’t, please try the pizza. You won’t regret it. All of their different pizza offerings are great. Also it goes without saying that the rest of the bakery offers are great as well. I often walk buy and get a sour baguette or pain epis to take home.“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“The best food I have had in a long time! Great taste and excellent customer service. A must try !“

“The best in town.“

“Ben Ben Hot Pot was the coziest hot spot experience I've had. I ordered the ox tail broth. It came with tender oxtail meat. There was a generous variety of ingredients to add and open access to tea and drinks. Our waitress knew just when to offer more broth and meats. The music was calm and the ascetic was clean and cozy. Great value at a low price, I will defiently be back !“

“Nice people and good food~^^“

“We are new to the area/California from NY we were delighted to find pizza as amazing as home! Friendly owner and staff.“

“This is my third time working with Tumi and her team at Thai Rice Spoon. Tumi and I first connected back between 2014 and 2018 when I was planning college formals, and we’ve stayed in touch over the years for major life milestones, like my sister’s bridal shower. Most recently, in May 2026, I reconnected with her to cater a company event for AAPIHM.

Her professionalism, energy, kindness, and personable touch are unmatched. Every single dish from Thai Rice Spoon is delicious, and the staff is incredibly punctual with delivery. Tumi always finds a way to work within our budget and is a absolute joy to collaborate with. I’m already looking forward to partnering with them on future events!“

“Cozy dim lit environment with authentic flavor. The cuisine is always on the richer side when it comes to flavor. The authenticity is worthy of elevated attention and the taste deserves to be experienced. My go to is the tandoori chicken, always seasoned to perfection. The lentil soup is my wife’s favorite and even I cannot refuse a bowl. Overall the service and food is top notch. Hospitality and flavors galore.“

“Attentive service, great prices for the area, excellent quality. I really enjoy a great neighborhood spot, and Pollo's is exactly that. Interesting blend of Mexican, American breakfast and burgers, and Greek. Best breakfast burrito I've ever had.“

“So love this place! Food extremely fresh. First recommended and ordered by another, I sought it out again for lunch. Delightful. Took unused veggies and rice home which was great the next day.“

“I think it was good but not great!

Service is fast and efficient. You order on a tablet and pay immediately and then get your food (which comes out quickly).

Portions are large. I got the beef noodle soup (not bone-in), and I could barely finish half 😭 The meat portion was generous. The soup was good! Though i feel the noodles felt a bit disconnected from the soup? Like they felt like an after thought (not as hot as the soup was, not as flavorful like they didnt absorb any flavor)

Spicy wontons were totally okay. Weren't particularly juicy nor spicy! Wouldn't get this again.

I wouldn't wait longer than 20min for this, and I would prefer to try other places in this area (BIGGGG competition for noodle soup)“

“Great music venue, small feel with top notch sound and production, connected to a great ale house with good food, full bar and super professional staff.“

“Life without sushi is no fun. That's why Manpuku is so needed. Whether pieced or in bowls, Manpuku brings both traditional and fusion in a delightful and pleasant way.“

“Outstanding personal service. Sushi Burrito (several to choose from) are my favorite, Miso Soup, and a Beer or Sake. I recommend that you come and get some 🌯“

“I had a really cool time here !!! The chefs are amazing so kind and understanding. I was losing my voice and he was very patient and the second
Chef was really fast . I think this isn’t favorite sushi place now ! The staff really looked out for me and I don’t think they k pa
How much it meant to me . Sometimes I show up places and people treat me negatively for no particular reason but I felt the love in there food“

“Wonderful food and friendly service; indoor/outdoor dining“

“Arvin and Puja prepare authentic Nepalese Food that is delicious. My favorites are the Palak Panner, Mixed Vegetable, and Paneer Tikamasala as I am vegetarian. The Nan and Roti are to die for. I love the down to earth homie atmosphere and friendly service. It you want good quality wholesome food in a relaxed and friendly setting, this is your place. I highly recommend Mount Everest to anyone.“
