50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Encinitas

“Excelente y deliciosa comida!!“

“Great service too! My mouth watered the entire time and was completely satiated and beyond happy with all that we ate! New menu apparently, but I gotta get back before they change it again!“

“Ambiance 😀, service and uniqueness. Had the Carajillo for an after dinner treat. Sooo good!“

“I have found a legitimate broker who has helped me in so many ways in the aspect of forex & cryptocurrency. At first, I was really skeptical that it won't work but I still kept the faith going until I saw a recommendation about Mrs Craig Vanessa who changed my financial status from grass to grace. Once again I'm really grateful for your help and support towards me and my family in this tough time of the year. If you are looking for a change in your finances, then connect to Mrs. Craig Vanessa today on WhatsApp through Facebook via Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.“

“GREAT GREAT FOOD. Thank you 😊“

“First time got a chance to try this place and the food was amazing. Great taste, great size, portions were awesome, and taste was very good. Definitely will be back for more and I highly recommend you to try this place. Great job guys.“

“The epitome of classic Encinitas! The food hits the spot every time—especially if you love a good diner meal. The staff are long-term, friendly, and familiar (I’ve enjoyed this place for 11 years and counting). I always love the art, decorations and environment. Encinitas Cafe is a regular spot for my family! I hope it never changes 🥰“

“Amazing food!!! We got a few things on the menu today. We got the firebird , cali dip , kids meal chicken nuggets . Let’s start with the firebird .. amazing sweet and spicy taste with big nice pickles to maintain the heat overall recommend this sandwich . The Cali Dip was delicious sweet and so much flavor I’d have to say one of the best “Tortas” I ever ate . The fries are the best !!! Sauces are so yummy. Everything was about $47 but SO WORTH IT!“

“Delicious authentic Italian meals artistically served .“

“Friendly service, clean and really good food. Support the locals and have a local brew“

“Best burger I've had in a very long time. Fries are amazing too! For the same amount you would spend at McDonald's you could come to Hamburger Hut a w and get way better quality food. I was shocked at how low the prices were. A burger, fries and a drink cost me $14.“

“So flavorful! I like the Pokra as an appetizer and the Malai Kofta, Ram Torya, or Bhanta Aloo as entrees. The naan is really flavorful too.
In the year after first trying the Malai Kofta here, I ordered this at every other Indian restaurant to compare. No other curry and kofta was able to match here. Himalayan Kitchen was the best“

“My husband and I have been here for the very first time and we immediately fell in love with this place. The staff is amazing, they know how to treat you and make you feel at home. Alice is very passionate about her job and we loved her homemade desserts sooo much. A special mention to Michele, a very young yet extremely professional waiter, who contributed to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere! As Italian, I can say it's hard to find place such Alice's where you feel so vividly the warm of our country. We will definitely come back!“

“Been coming here for years. As a local born and raised in Encinitas, there is no better restaurant for drinks and great food that has withstood the times. As for the service from the staff it has always been exceptional. Most recently Saul has always taken care of me with recommendations on drinks and food. They have just recently changed their menu so definitely something to check out.“

“An excellent place for a first date. It’s quiet enough to talk, yet not so quiet that it feels awkward. The lighting is soft and romantic, and the drink selection is fantastic — especially if you’re into wines or classy cocktails. I appreciated the attention to detail: the garnishes were fresh, glassware elegant, and even the water was served with a cucumber slice. That’s how you know they care about presentation. We stayed for almost three hours, just talking and sipping. Will definitely come back.“

“You are a restaurant that cooks from the heart, and I really enjoy your cooking and service.“

“Very delicious and fresh! Its hard to find a place that offers both gluten free, dairy-free and tastes so fresh. Had the fish tacos (cod) and they were amazing! Absolutely will come here again!“

“the birria tacos are good I recomend them“

“Have been coming here almost weekly for 4 years and it's always a highlight. One of the best. From the freshly made tortillas, to the always fresh Al Pastor, to Jorge's smiling face. Our favorite tacos and nachos in the County, and there's plenty of competition out there! The surf n turf nachos are killer and all the burritos are worthwhile, but I usually go back to the Pastor tacos. One of top 3 favorite spots of all time.“

“loved the salad and dessert i ordered, half-a cado salad and strawberries and cream custard,“

“This has quickly become my favorite joint around town- the food is classic and amazing, without a doubt some of the best bang for your buck in terms of quality and quantity! The service is very good, they’re super friendly and the food comes out fast. It’s in a nice spot so close to the beach and just off the highway so it’s always nearby! I never wanna see this place leave- 11/10!“

“We have been here since it first opened with the heavy Neapolitan oven. Menu is regularly updated as well as decor and quality control. From Neapolitan to new york style, now back to authentic Sicilian home taste. The mulberry pizza has been upgraded/renamed to italia, more chewy flavorful thinner dough and ripe cherry tomatoes fresh basil with great cheese. The garlic sticks are chewy pizza dough, not typical italian bread. The ceasar salad dressing is top notch. The expresso coffee machine is back, to complement the light and creamy spongy ricotta pistachio cake! Service is very attentive and now reservations are accepted. PS Feel free to speak Italian 🤣“

“fantastic food! one the best Italian spots in so. cal. friendly service.“

“Awesome food prepared very well worth the wait! Delicious surf and turf! I was looking for the corn on the cob and churros but they ran! Super popular!“

“The best Bagel and Lox...“

“Indian/Nepalese cuisine is one of my favorite cuisines. I am South African and grew up eating eating variety of traditional curries and stews. I travel a lot for work and have had the fortune of trying some of the best Indian restaurants in the nation, including dozens of places in SoCal. Everest Himalayan Cuisine is by far, the best restaurant I've ever been to. This cozy casual restaurant opened in November originally for take-out. I am a big fan of dine-in, so I was excited to find out that they recently opened for dine-in. I came with my best friend (we're always looking for new favorite restaurants). We decided to get a couple things to share. Started off with the Lamb Momos. They were such a wonderful treat. For Entrees, we went with the Lamb Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken with Cilantro Garlic Naan. While eating our Momos, an adjacent table received their Tandoori Chicken and Lamb. It smelled and sounded so good, we decided that we would have to order more (we also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Tandoori). Our food came, and when I dipped my Naan into the sauce, I nearly cried it was so good. It reminded me of a better version of my grandmas famous Tikka Masala. It's was then, that I knew this would become my new favorite place. It was so flavorful and luscious. All the meat was so tender. The Naan was supple, while pillowy and stretchy at the same time, (clearly proofed perfectly). Every dish we tried was the best iteration of the dish I've ever had. I usually order my food quite spicy (9-10), but if you like a flavorful warm heat, get a 5 to 7. We ordered another order of the Cilantro Garlic Naan to get every bit of the sauce. I know I'll be back soon. I really would like to try more of their dishes and their desserts. They also have a nice Lunch Special, I'd like to try. Thank you for sticking around, and reading to the end. I hope more people discover this new place; there's nothing like it, especially in San Diego.“

“We’ve been coming back to Sushi Bar Blue Fin religiously in the last couple of years, because it is honestly the best sushi in town. We’d go here on a lowkey weeknight, a lively weekend, and even celebrated birthdays with a large group! In fact, we were just here tonight! :) There are many reasons why we keep on returning but if I could summarize it in one word, it is authenticity. They have an authentic Japanese dining experience with an impressive dedication to quality. Every piece of sushi is crafted with precision by their highly skilled chefs who clearly and humbly take pride in their work, using only the freshest ingredients to create beautifully balanced flavors. The warm and friendly service makes you feel like family, adding to the welcoming, local atmosphere that sets this spot apart. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur, or you just came back from Japan nostalgic and craving the same vibe and cuisine, or you’re simply just looking for an exceptional meal, this place delivers an unforgettable experience that keeps us coming back for more. We absolutely love Blue Fin Sushi!“

“Delicious healthy food. Coffee is amazing. Shelley’s homemade granola with cinnamon bark essential oil is to die for. The staff is always friendly and attentive. They always ask me how I liked everything. They really care about their customers!“

“Best pizza 🍕 in San Diego!“

“Good beer + big-screen TVs to watch sports + enjoyable, casual atmosphere = relaxation & fun“

“Great place, kind staff, nice food with decent portions & excellent flavor. Try their specialty boba drinks & mango sticky rice if it’s in season, delicious!“

“Their food is yummy, well and clean prepared!!!“

“The owner, Isabelle, is friendly, helpful, and works very hard. I obviously love this bakery as I have been going for years. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is like being in a small town. I highly recommend going to Isabelle's often ❤“

“Amazing Sushi!! 5 stars definitely!!“
