50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Santa Clara

“Love this bagel. New York style with lots of delicious cream cheese.“

“Thoughtful gluten free options which are so hard to find. Clean, well run. Insane dessert crepe w Nutella and a ton of fresh fruit. Never would have known it wasn’t gluten-full. Berry smoothie w oat milk too, ‘cause we’re gluttonous. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food and service. Value for your money.“

“MONDAY FOOD REVIEW...PUESTO...6/17/24! After leaving California's Great America, we stopped for lunch at Puesto, a Mexican/American restaurant, located at 2752 Augustine Dr., in Santa Clara. This restaurant features Mexican dishes with an American flare infusion! I had their their Shrimp a la Plancha, which is Mexican shrimp, garlic butter, red onions, jalapeños, guajillo chile, avocado, and Tamarindo-chile sauce, and it comes with herb lime rice, black beans, and blue corn tortillas. This was absolutely fabulous!!! It wasn't your typical Mexican dish...the different ingredients they used to create this dish all blended together VERY well!!! If you are looking for a little something different to satisfy your Mexican food craving, and want some added flair, then this is THE restaurant to go to!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!! My rating: 10++++“

“This is the best chicken karage curry that I've every had. You get a ton of food for the money. Chicken is super crispy and served over sticky rice. Curry in a separate container and some pickled veg on the side. Really balanced curry flavor (not too sweet, not too spicy). This makes for a really nice take-out dinner!“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“The best ukdi che modak (steamed sweet dumpling) in town! Modak is an important part of the annual Ganesh Chaturthi festival celebrated by the followers of Lord Ganesh. Every year we rely on Puranpoli for timely and best tasting modaks and they never disappoint. Despite getting boatloads of orders during the festival time, they are accommodating and willing to work with the customers. A modak has an outer shell made with rice flour and a filling made with jaggery and coconut. What makes Puranpoli's modak special and delicious is that they are made painstakingly by hand which adds to the flavor. Thanks to Roshan and his team for bringing the joy and memories of the homeland here in the Bay Area! Checkout Puranpoli for an authentic experience of Maharashtrian food in the Bay Area.“

“I recommend them for their hospitality, great food and service. Quick to serve!“

“Great ramen and reasonable“

“Hidden gem. It has a make your own plate kind of a noodle option. You can customize it the way you want, they make the dish with your ingredients in front of you. They have meat and vegetable options. The price is a bit on the higher side but it's worth it.“

“Love when you can see and taste the quality!! ??✨

@taichipotshabu is hands down the BEST authentic Japanese shabu shabu in the Bay Area. Just look at the marbling on the meat and the richness of the broths. The best part, it’s AYCE! Service is amazing and they really make it feel like you’re having a comforting meal at home.“

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“The food is so flavorful and the staff was kind and attentive. Highly recommend for an amazing meal!

Vegetarian options: We only had one vegetarian dish but there were more than a dozen on the menu

Parking: Several parking spaces were available between 5 and 7“

“美國加州~Loving Hut 愛家餐廳~~~ 讚~~~“

“Excellent Shawarma spot near Santa Clara (downtown) ?. Palestinian owned place offering authentic Shawarma . Randomly stopped at this spot and was surprised by their Chicken Shawarma . The sauces offered with it were also tasty and excellent . Frequented mostly by the students , this place needs more recognition TBH .

They also have cute pictures hanging on the wall .

Parking: Very few parking spots near the place .“

“Ulavacharu Tiffins is hands down one of my favorite places for authentic South Indian flavors! They have different branches around the Bay Area, making it so convenient to enjoy their amazing food wherever you are. But the absolute highlight for me is their coffee—rich, aromatic, and brewed to perfection. It’s like a comforting hug in a cup! The staff is friendly, the ambiance is welcoming, and the variety of dishes never disappoints. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. I’m in love with their coffee!“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Great food! We will definitely be back!“

“avocado toast and latte with oat milk ... the coffee is great!“

“The dinner was absolutely amazing. From the birthday celebration details to the amazing service by Khanh, our fun server and Marissa, the manager.
We were blown away with the quality of the food. We loved the macaroni and cheese (so cheesy), the mushrooms, mash potatoes, Brussel sprouts and that Tomahawk steak was to die for.
Loved the fun environment and great service. Even the help staff was great with fresh bread (amazing seasonal pumpkin butter, yes PUMPKIN butter), water refills and ensuring our table was cleared promptly!
We will definitely be back! We loved loved the service!
Dessert- soooo good. Baked crisp apple burlee or something with ice cream was so light and delicious!! A must try seasonal dessert!“

“This is some high quality poke. The fish is fresh and there are a lot of good topping options. The sauces are also flavorful and well matched. I left full and happy.

Vegetarian options: I mean you probably could get by without fish, but if you're vegetarian I can't imagine this would be your first choice“

“Love LOVE Rocko’s tacos- amazing ice cream, great flavors, and always hits the spot on a hot night.

2/5 stars for service since they went to tablet ordering recently. It might make the line go faster but it eliminates the personal experience and makes it just another store. Don’t like at all.

Would love to see them add some better acoustical/sound absorption in the store as it gets unbearably loud inside when it’s a full store.“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“Absolutely delicious food“

“Perfection! Cero made our dream wedding cake a reality! As a couple we love almond torte and we found the perfect baker to make our almond torte wedding cake! Not only was the cake DELICIOUS, but also beautifully decorated and personalized with a figurine of our pup! He was also able to make snickerdoodle and red velvet cupcakes for our big day. Highly recommend Cake Expressions for your next event! Thank you, Cero!!“

“We ordered chicken corn soup, house boss chow fen, and green bean beef. The food reminds me of Cantonese American style Chinese food. Food was good, flavors not over powering. Prices are fair and portions are decent. There was no soap in the woman’s restroom. Service and staff were attentive.“

“Authentic and delicious. Friendly staff.“

“Some of the best Vietnamese food I have ever had!“

“Our first time here and everything was delicious! We had the garlic edamame, salmon express and the spicy tails rolls and the salmon with lemon dill nigiri. So good!“

“Beautiful interior, best chai latte close to what my chai would be. Friendly staff, fast service.“

“Highly recommend this Thai spot. The woman Siri, is so sweet and will make you feel right at home! The food, compared to other local thai places give it a run for the money. The pineapple fried rice, Tom kha and the pad see ew are all on point. The restaurant is a bit smaller than other restaurants, so please call ahead of time if you decide to bring a big party so they can try to accommodate. I believe all their dishes have a happy blend of spice and flavor, depending on what you order. If you order something and it may be too spicy, you can ask for the spice instead on the side and add to your liking.“

“was at the new Santa Cruz location everything was great“

“Good food ❤️❤️ Good ambiance ❤️❤️“

“Sometimes they do not know how to properly construct a sandwich and instead of putting the spreader sauce on the bun they put it directly on the protein causing the sandwich to slide all over the place. How they present their sandwiches is inconsistent“

“fast customer service and good food“

“Friendly. Excellent customer service!“

“Good food, plenty of parking, restaurant is very clean and reasonable price. The only down side is the smaller noodle portion size but won’t deter me from returning. They have combo for 2-4, 4-8 and over 10 people dishes. I will return for those.“

“Went here with my coworker the other day and it was PACKED during lunch! We were lucky that we arrived as another party was leaving so we only had to wait a couple minutes for them to clean the table. The server took a while to take our order but it was understandable due to their busy lunch rush. I ordered the Fresno Fig burger and upgraded my fries to truffle cheese fries. Everything was delicious! I can see that this would be a great place for happy hour so I would definitely come back to check that out next time. It would be better if they had brighter lights but I get that they’re trying to go for that hip trendy casual burger spot vibe.“

“This is a reallly wholesome, family-run Indian vegetarian restaurant. For $18, they have a very tasty all you can eat buffet. They bring to your table some fresh made chapati too. There is a delicious lemon pudding for dessert and also always fresh fruit. If you want some good home cooking, this is the place.“

“Outstanding Indian Cuisine - Truly Authentic!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was incredibly authentic, and I was particularly impressed with the butter chicken and naan. Both dishes were absolutely amazing, bursting with rich flavors and perfectly cooked.

The service here is unparalleled. It felt like I was dining at home, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. They made sure my food was hot, served promptly, and checked on me multiple times throughout my meal. It was truly the best service I’ve ever experienced.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a genuine Indian dining experience. The prices are also very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and service you receive.

One suggestion for fellow patrons: if you’re considering ordering the bread basket, be aware that it takes some time to prepare. As a result, some of the breads might not be as fresh as if you order them individually.

Overall, this restaurant is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

Vegetarian options: Many indian vegetarian options like butter panner“

“We got there when they opened and there was no line. Someone helped us right away. Small restaurant about 8-10 table.

We ordered the beef pancake, pork and chicken dumplings, and braised chicken feet.

Beef pancake: 4/5, it needed a little sauce

Pork and chives dumpling: 3.5/ I like it how it was, my husband said it was too doughy for him.

Braised chicken feet: 4.5/ was a little sweet.

Overall would come back. There were also a lot of people who came for pick up too.“

“I got the house ramen and it was fantastic. Just the right spice. I got there about 20 mins before closing for afternoon lunch time. Service was friendly and fast and though I finished a few minutes after they closed they did not make me feel rushed. Thank you for such a great meal!“

“We went there from Arizona, as soon as we walked in we felt the vibe, good music and the restaurant inside and out looks amazing feels like I’m in the middle of the jungle, besides all that the food was amazing, specially the pizza and wings best I’ve ever had, The personal was nice and attentive, beer was nice and cold, I personally recommend this place 100 percent. Guess where im going to be at next time I’m in Santa Clara? So catch me in there!! ???“

“Wow! The quality of their fish is top-notch! We sat in the tatami room and had an all-around great experience. The food, ambiance, and service were all fantastic! :)“

“Bay Area Pizza is an absolute gem! If you’re a fan of Indian flavors and love pizza, this is the spot to be. We tried the Tandoori Paneer Pizza, Tandoori Chicken Pizza, and wings, and everything was beyond delicious. The fusion of Indian spices with classic pizza ingredients is incredible. The Tandoori Paneer pizza had the perfect balance of flavors, and the Tandoori Chicken was juicy and flavorful. The wings were a great complement too, cooked to perfection.

The service was excellent, and the owner is super friendly, making us feel right at home. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I had a spicy tuna rice bowl and strawberry lemonade! It was so good! I consider coming back again! :)“

“Recently visited this place for dinner Its a spacious restaurant with plenty of seating, making it ideal for large groups or a casual meal out. However, the interiors feel somewhat lackluster and could use a bit more charm.
For vegetarians, there are only a few veggie options available, and the selection of vegetarian sides is quite limited. This might leave vegetarian diners wanting more variety. On the upside, the service is impressively fast, ensuring you won’t have to wait long for your food.
While the restaurant's ambiance and vegetarian offerings could be improved, if you're looking for a quick and homely Korean meal, this place might just hit the spot.“

“Long wait, but definitely worth it. Love the spicy ramen with chasu and egg. We’ll be back soon!“

“Great food. Quick. Friendly staff. Convenient location.“

“I took out and ate Jjajang, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Kkanpunggi. At first, I wondered why the Sweet and Sour Pork sauce was so thin. But it was really delicious. It tastes like the sauce I used to eat at an old-time Jjajangmyeon restaurant in the countryside.“
