50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Palo Alto

1 Ramen Nagi

4.5 Superb 603 Reviews

541 Bryant Street, Palo Alto

“I love ramen here and I’ve visited their multiple locations. There’s always a queue of about minimum 20-30 minutes as they don’t take reservations. It’s fine because the food is truly worth the wait. However, I feel the service here is not that great. There’s always too much pressure to finish your food early (I understand because there’s always people waiting for their turn) but sometimes it’s too much. They have some sauces on the table and fried garlic. Our jar of fried garlic was empty. We asked for a refill twice, but never got it. I love the food no doubt, but service is kinda bad.”

3 Protégé

4.5 Superb 301 Reviews

250 California Avenue, Palo Alto

• Delivery

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality”

“Dinner at Evvia more than lived up to its reputation. We ordered across the menu — the yiouvetsi (slow-cooked goat with orzo and artichoke hearts), a whole grilled fish with horta, lamb chops, and the lamb souvlaki — and there wasn't a weak dish on the table. Finished with the galaktoboureko for dessert, which turned out to be exactly the right call. Proper Greek cooking, no shortcuts. I'd happily go back.”

“I came here for a school field trip. The trip was amazing and super fun. Basically we tested their new robot system, and it was really cool. After we finished, we fought each other (the other kids). Also, the cafeteria was great, the “vending machines” were well stocked, and overall I had a great time. I wish I could go back and relive that day.”

“My order was a Spicy-Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and OMGGG the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had in awhile, don’t be fooled by the spicy, depending on your spice level, if you are a person that does not like spicy food, avoid this sandwich 🤣🤣 I eat spicy and it was a good spicy, I would definitely recommend this sandwhich. I accompanied this sandwhich with their delicious cheddar bacon ranch fries! BEST FRIES EVERRRR! The staff was very lovely and very nice!”

• Take-Out

“If you haven’t been here yet - you are doing yourself a disservice: This has been the best Nepali meal my group & I have eaten in the bay. We tried several dishes: Peanut Masala starter (which was simple yet delicious - the lil kick of spice was just the required compliment the dish needed, and the chef somehow knew just the right amount) Both Thali’s: Veg & Chicken (Excellent in quality, quantity & flavour. We ordered a paratha to pair with this and it was thick, perfectly layered, and will remind you of home) Chicken Wrap, Paneer Curry, steamed & Choilla momo - this latter momo dish was so unique, tangy (chatpata in Hindi) with a lil spice kick - recommend trying this as an app if you’re curious. We ended with 2 desserts: The Kulfi & Gulab Jamun equivalent, which were also on point. And the best of all + most surprising: the rabri (thickened sweet milk) these desserts came with was THE BOMB, it was so good we asked for it to have its own space on the menu. We couldn’t choose a favourite but know for sure we’ll be back. Thank you to the very friendly, and sweet staff & owners, who were lovely and truly hospitable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something new and flavourful!”

17 Terun Pizza

• Take-Out

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!”

No alcohol served here, but do get yourself a mango smoothie drink if you have a sweet tooth. Recommend the garlic naan.”
