50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Redwood City

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Zareen’s is my go-to spot whenever I’m craving flavorful, high-quality meat. My favorites are the beef chapli kebab, chicken tikka, and their newest addition—the chicken chargha—which is easily one of the best things on the menu. Every dish is packed with flavor, and you really can’t go wrong here.

It’s the perfect combination of comforting, satisfying food and incredibly delicious protein. The restaurant does get quite busy during peak meal times, so if you’d rather skip the wait, I’d recommend ordering takeout or visiting during off-peak hours.“

“Really enjoyed Nomadic Kitchen in San Mateo! They feature a streamlined menu focused on heavy-hitting entrees and appetizers, which makes ordering easy because everything they do, they do right.

The hummus plate is an absolute must-have. It features incredibly creamy, delicious hummus topped with vibrant cabbage and pomegranate seeds. It is surrounded by a beautiful ring of rich, colorful sauces, dips, and pickles that pair perfectly with the basket of warm, homemade bread.

For the main course, the chicken kebab was a total hit. The chicken breast cubes are perfectly charred and incredibly tender. What really sets Nomadic Kitchen over the top is their beautiful plating and generous side options. The entree comes out beautifully arranged on a sleek black platter, complete with a fresh salad topped with pickled cabbage, a side of seasoned bulgur wheat, and a side of fluffy white rice. Having both rice options on one plate is a fantastic touch.

If the weather is nice, I highly recommend sitting out on the patio area to enjoy the beautiful San Mateo sun. The service was completely solid, friendly and fairly quick, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. I will definitely be back.“

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.“

“Amazing experience! I’ve eaten here three days in a row, and every visit has been fantastic. We had a small mix-up with our order today, but Ahmed was incredibly kind and went above and beyond to help us get everything sorted out. The customer service was outstanding, and the food was so good it was literally dance-worthy. Highly recommend!“

“My experience with Broadway Masala has been outstanding and extraordinary. Customer service 5 out of 5. Food 10 out of 5. Yes 10. Amazing food. Love this place. Staff amazing. Chef amazing. Thank you for being so good. We have a place to dine for every special moment now. Five star hands down. 🤗“

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.“

“Great food and fast friendly service. A great place for burgers.“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“Fantastic, authentic Italian food with great atmosphere and service! We got pancetta pizza, arugula salad and lasagna - everything was fab! The lasagna was different and delicious. Clearly this restaurant is a passion project for the owners and they are putting in a lot of effort to make it stand out with their food and ambiance. White table cloth and table lamp adds a very special touch! Read their origin story, very sweet!“

“I loved my experience there - great food and cocktails.“

“pizza is great highly recommend the margaritas pizza“

“Great service, food was delish. Chef made special sushi dish ( not on the menu) that was FIRE! My new to go place.❤️❤️❤️“

“An amazing sushi experience, highly recommended“

“Enjoy Nepalese food. Yummy on tummy“

“Cute location and was able to find street parking fairly easily on a Sunday. Appears to be family owned business and customer service was great.

The majority of their dishes are elote based. They do not have your typical tacos and burritos but I have an obsession with all types of street corn so I had to give it a shot.

I got the papa elote with steak. It was HUGE and delicious. I added a bit of salt but other than that I loved it. I did not finish it at lunch but had more for dinner that night. It reheats well. I still have some leftover and will likely bring it with me for my work lunch tomorrow!

I only gave the food 5 stars because a) the price (20 bucks for the potato with steak, I think it was 14 or 15 without). Although, in retrospect, since this is now going to be 3 meals for me, the price is fairly reasonable !!! B) the lack of other options. While I'm really into street corn, the rest of my family is not. So this will prevent me for visiting this establishment more frequently.“

“This restaurant is run by an elderly couple who are genuinely the sweetest people ever! They make you feel so welcome, and the food is absolutely incredible.
Every time I come here, I get a plate with the shrimp tempura and a California roll, and the chicken teriyaki is so good too. But honestly, their salads are actually my favorite part—I can’t even explain it, but the dressing they use is just so insanely good! I end up eating so much of it. In fact, everything is so delicious that I always buy a ton of sides every single time I go. This place is amazing and deserves so much more love!“

“Great just like my mom’s homemade cooking Carrot cake moist. Good. Coffee. Waiters are Courteous“

“Husband and wife team are very friendly and take the time to talk to you. Food is very good. I would highly recommend this little restaurant to anyone.“

“Great Cask style beers and even better service from Chrissy at the bar. I also recommend the fish and chips!“

“5 STARS! No BS corporate Olive Garden here! Calzone's my fave. Few Italian spots make'm nowadays. Bread's pillow soft. Mushrooms & tomatoes retain a lotta H2O. I've had some watery ones from other restaurants that spilled out when cut open in the past. Theirs is legit. Customize your own, but the 1 on the menu's fabulous as is. They make their own herb focaccia! Ordering mouthwatering meatballs a la carte is a must! Pastas, paninis, open face, salads, rotisserie chx, ribs, draft beer, wine, delivery, takeout, etc. Perfect place to take your loved ones/friends who'd appreciate the art & hard work the staff serves up so quickly!“

“We went there for Mother’s Day lunch, and it was a genuine kaiseki experience in a shorter lunch format. The dining ware was beautiful, and every course reflected the chef’s technique and thoughtful intention.

I especially appreciated how the chef used refined cooking techniques to bring out the natural flavors of each ingredient rather than relying on heavy seasoning. Each dish felt balanced and carefully composed.

The pork belly was on the fattier side, and while it was well prepared, I thought the amount of fat was a bit excessive for the dish. The rice course at the end was somewhat underwhelming—it lacked fragrance and didn’t leave a lasting impression.

Overall, it was an elegant and enjoyable meal, and I’d love to come back to experience the full dinner menu sometime.“

“Atmosphere was great and service was fantastic for our large group. Food was excellent.“

“If you are looking for truly authentic Thai flavors, this place is an absolute must-visit! They capture the essence of regional dishes perfectly, especially if you love the bold, fiery kick of Southern Thai food.
​A few personal favorites that I highly recommend:
​Moo Hong: The pork belly is incredibly tender, rich, and perfectly sweet and savory.
​Gai Tod Hat Yai: Super crispy, deeply flavorful Southern-style fried chicken that is absolutely addictive.
​Khua Kling: A must-order if you appreciate the intense, aromatic spice of a traditional Southern dry curry.
​My friends also joined me and completely fell in love with their Pad Gra Pow, which has the perfect amount of basil and spice, and their Larb Spring Rolls—such a clever and delicious twist on classic flavors.
​Whether you're craving comforting classics or punchy regional specialties, this spot completely delivers. Highly recommend!“

“YES, Best pizza 🍕 ever !!!“

“Everything is fine, yeah, everything 👍😍😍“

“This is the best Mountain Mikes in all the Bay Area, and I have been to a lot of them. Staff are super nice, they manage the lunch buffet very well, and it's clean. Their pizza tastes really good and they always put fresh ones out for the buffet.“

“Delicioso todos. Really enjoyed service and the food.“

“Talk about a hidden gem. I am not from the area but the line outside the establishment was enough for me to stop, park and get in line. I wish I knew the line was for dine in, because I waited in it not knowing it was for dine in! You know a place is good for menudo and birria when the Mexicans are lining up on Sunday for the crudo! If you know you know. It is Morelia style birria and to me, it is very affordable for quality food.
The meat was sooooo tender let me tell you. And the consome, perfect. They have a wide variety of items on the menu but they are known for the birria here so just get that. It's even served with hand made tortillas so you know this is the real deal.
The cold tall mugs of agua frescas looked sooo mouthwatering. The wait for the food after ordering was about 10 minutes but let me tell you, it's worth it!“

“Great selection of food, the house special pork pan fried bao is delicious -- one of the best outside of China. Love its tapas style, you can get a lot of smaller dishes to share and try a lot of different items! Service is outstanding!! Every server is so hospitable and you can tell they care about their customers.

We tried a lot of their items, would totally recommend the dumplings, XLB, wonton in chili oil, pan fried bao, skewers such as the ox tongue, salmon and chicken. Kids loved the porridge and ramen too. We got a bottle of sake, it comes with the coolest chilling/dispensing device -- it's an experience!“

“The best Chinese food my daughter and I have had in a long time. She’s says it’s the best she’s EVER had, and she loves Chinese food. I recommend this place 💯“

“Great service - friendly inviting environment“

“Not fancy just great Mexican food done right I go from San Jose just to eat here. The best and I mean best tripa and lengua tacos in the bay. Get extra green sauce and a little red to go. And carrots and lemon. Squeeze the lemon. Hit the salsa and enjoy“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“One of my fave dumpling places—only place that I found that had lamb handmade dumplings. The handmade dumplings are always so juicy and flavorful. I also love the salt and pepper tofu and green onion pancakes—they’re always perfectly crispy. The frozen dumplings are also really easy to steam at home. 10/10“

“I love this place and all the Pizza My Heart locations. It's next to the Theatre, reasonably priced, and good food. Nice slice selection and also salads (Manresa all the way!!)
Where's the question? Fan for over a decade. Bought the tshirt today. ❣️“

“We ordered the kalua pork and a combo plate seafood BBQ mix with shrimp and chicken katsu.
The combo plate was huge but it felt like an ordinary dish you could get anywhere else. A bit bland nothing special.
However, the kalua pork was right on point. It tasted really good, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. That dish definitely stood out and made the meal worthwhile. If you go, I’d recommend sticking with the kalua pork.
The Hawaiian cookies was such a sweet surprise to see them there that I bought the guava flavor one. It instantly took me back to beautiful memories of a special place in Hawaii with family. Every bite felt nostalgic and comforting. 🌺“

“Absolutely delicious food. Daniel knows how to make the most flavorful, juicy, and authentic tacos I've had. It's a food truck parked on Woodside Road next to the Safeway parking lot. The Crispy Barbacoa tacos are to die for. They're served with fresh salsas and consome to dip your tacos into. Support this restaurant and enjoy.“

“Very delicious and yummy 😋 food“

“Fuimos con mi hija y la verdad que un 10 de 10!!!! Felices de haber manejado 2 horas y media! Valio la pena! Las empanadas, los sandwiches de miga y las faturas! Delicioso todo y buen pecio, y la amabilidad y la atmosfera 💯!!!! También tienen alfajores, biscochitos, galletitas, dulce de leche y mucho mas! Gracias chicos!“

“Such a great place. Beautiful outdoor dining! 🥰🥂💕“

“Beautiful place, nice service! It’s my first this place,maybe soon again!“

“We’ve been here a few times and each time, our food is delicious. On this June 6, 2026 day, I had the 1 meat bowl which included the smoked chicken and the baked beans.I devoured every bit. Both were so delicious. My husband inhaled his brisket sandwich and my son surprisingly finished his chicken tacos. We even got a greeting from the owner. 😊 We ate outside this time, but the ambiance is good whether we sit in or out. I highly recommend that you try this place if you haven’t already.“

“We love this place - best tortillas so fresh! This friendly family oriented and super flavorful business deserves your business. Enjoy! ❤️“

“The beef tongue was absolutely delicious! We ordered two servings, but the second one wasn’t as good as the first—it was a bit tougher.

The ramen and the beef rice bowl were both very tasty as well. However, the beef was a little too rare and had a strong bloody taste. We hope it can be cooked a bit more next time.

Overall, we had a great dining experience and would definitely come back!“

“Service was good and the pizza was good.“
