50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Darien

“I am Thai and find this place lovely. Had kra pow kai sub (minced chicken basil) which was flavored well and quite authentic. The portion is large for the price. John the server went above and beyond to make sure his customer has a great experience.“

“Look what I just found in my salad from Papa Joe’s - much #love as always!“

“My girlfriend is Indian and so far this is her favorite Indian restaurant in the United States. I agree with her the quality of the food it top notch.

That said, I also respect their honesty because we asked if the biryani was made traditionally and they admitted they made it like fried rice. Real biryani is made with the meat and rice cooked together. Therefore- I’d recommend everything on the menu except biryani.

If you are making biryani then call it biryani. If you are making fried rice then don’t call it biryani🤷‍♀️ if the server was not honest about the biryani and we tried it this would be a much lower review.“

“The food at Little Thai Kitchen in Darien is absolutely amazing. It is almost better than the food that I had in Thailand! The staff is so nice and helpful, and genuinely enjoy their job. My whole family loves it, and I'm glad that we have such a great place in Darien. Thank you Little Thai Kitchen!“

Portions are always in great size and their variety on sides and salads are always a big hit. They are always super accommodating and always have great suggestions on dishes. My team is always happy with the dishes they provide.“

“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.“

“Went there for the first time today with my family for Father’s Day. The food and service was excellent! Would definitely go again!“

“We go here nearly every time we are in Norwalk. Love their arroz con pollo. All the food is actually amazingly delicious. My favorite drink is their sangria to the point they prep it for me when I walk in. Kind service. They feel like family.“

“First and foremost, I RARELY give any restaurant five stars. This restaurant earned their five stars; food, service, atmosphere all hit the mark! The food is absolutely delicious. I'm a seafood lover and I must say it's the BEST seafood restaurant I've ever been to. Everything I ate was very fresh and the kitchen definitely know what they're doing. Calamari was crispy on the outside and tender inside. It comes with buffalo sauce, lemon aioli and bamu sauce which is a spicy thin Asian sauce. Clam chowder was creamy, had the usual bacon, clams and celery and garnished with a clam on the shell; great touch if you ask me. The spicy tuna tartare was my favorite thing I ate. It came with papadum chips that were light and crispy (better than potato chips!). The tuna tartare had the right amount of spice that didn't overpower your tastebuds but it let you know you were eating fresh, delicious tuna. The cucumbers added a very refreshing touch to the dish and I loved the wasabi aioli! The hot lobster roll was perfect. Coleslaw was delicious. The steamers are always messy to eat but worth it! I had a mini seafood feast and I was super satisfied leaving the restaurant. I usually finish a good meal with dessert but I had no room. There's always a next visit for that! I didn't try my son's cheeseburger because I strictly wanted seafood but it was cooked medium just how we asked and he said it was delicious. My son is a picky eater so if he says it's good, it's good. Ambiance is very nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you're a sun lover you'd love to be outdoors with the sun shining on you while you dine with a great view of the water and boats. Inside had nice nautical decor. They had a nice bar area with lots of drinks. Our server, MJ, was amazing. He was very attentive to all our needs. It was our first time eating here and we will return because of MJ and the amazing food. Our cups were always full and finished dishes cleared away. I appreciate servers like MJ because it elevates the dining experience. Great food can only get you so far but hard workers like MJ truly magnify a great experience. The restaurant was super packed. They have valet parking and I honestly thought we would wait forever but we didn't. We got in right away and our food promptly came out. MJ made sure we got the food in the order we wanted and we didn't feel rushed or ignored. Again, this is why I'm giving them five stars! If you love seafood, great service and a beautiful view, check them out.“

“We love coming to this place. The food is not only delicious but of good quality. the place feels like home: dumplings, hot soups and those fried buns for dessert… 🍜 🥟 😋 Even when the place is packed, it’s worth the wait!“

“Great staff and great food even during this pandemic. And accommodating“

“My favorite place for birthdays and special occasions. The food is always exceptional — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and consistently impressive. They truly understand that dining out should feel special.

I also want to highlight the wonderful woman at the front. She is incredibly hospitable, attentive, and makes multitasking look easy. Wishing this business continued success.“

“We tried their pizza for the first time. Ordered a margarita pizza. It was delicious and unbelievably fresh and the dough was incredible. We’ve tried most pizza places in our area. This was definitely the best“

“A great place for a casual date night. Just show up - no fuss, no stress.

Food is consistently good. I went for the signature gnocchi bolognese which was delicious. Make sure to finish up with the cannoli - top notch!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars, only thing I would change is the hours. Wish they were open more!“

“will be back recommend this place loved the food great service nice atmosphere“

“I ordered the Pho King and it was super delicious!!! The broth was flavorful and seasoned, the beef was tender, and the vegetables and noodles were cooked perfectly. All the flavors came together to make a superb bowl of comfort. A shout out to the server, CHUCK, who answered my questions and provided thoughtful recommendations. I'm bringing family and friends next time!!!“

“Always a good time here. BJ & Keith have created a fun and friendly atmosphere here. Bartenders and Servers are always on point and provide the best service. Try a Carlarita…you won’t be disappointed“

“Wow. Just wow. Sergio's has one of the best pizzas my husband and I have ever had (and we know pizza!). The crust was light, had just enough crunch and was topped with all kinds of cheesy and topping deliciousness. I didn't rate the atmosphere because if you didn't know there was a pizza and calzone heaven inside, you'd drive right by. DON'T LET THE APPEARANCE FOOL YOU. It was absolutely phenomenal. It was worth eating in the car (because we were driving back to NY and there was no table service - only take-out). SO WORTH IT!“

“Driving around Westport, CT, we stumbled upon Joe’s Pizza and it turned into such a pleasant surprise. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The pizza was outstanding — we ordered the white pizza, and it was packed with rich, delicious flavors. Simple, authentic, and absolutely satisfying. We’ll definitely be back! 🍕“

“So delicious! I had the samosas, dal tadka and bindi masala and loved everything. They have vegan options which are clearly labeled and were even accommodating at making one of the dishes that I wanted vegan that originally wasn’t. Bashir was very kind and helpful with ordering. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Tried the chicken parmigiana pizza from Slice of Stamford for the first time and it really hit the spot. The texture was the standout — soft, warm crust with tender chicken that didn’t feel dry or overcooked. The marinara was balanced, not too sweet, and the melted cheese pulled everything together without being heavy. It felt like classic comfort food in pizza form. For a first try, it was satisfying and easy to enjoy, especially if you like softer, hearty slices. Would definitely get it again. 🍕“

“.. The other dae, I was Fortunate enough to have a recent Awesome Aquantice of mine, @Sarah, who was kind enuff to share mea sample of their 'in house Roasted Turkey' sandwich (that seasoned cheese spread is UNreal b.t.dubs) AND a slice of their Cinnamon bread too also.. Ssooooo Grrreatt! Thank You lookin forward 🌋🌅🤙🏾 = 💣.com yo“

“The food is genuine and delicious and the dining area is lovely. Lots of great duck dishes, too! Will definitely go back!“

“and yet another excellent restaurant. Brasitas of Norwalk they offer everything.... good food, perfect service... cleanliness... great environment... and close to my hotel... the dulce de leche Flan is probably the best I ever had 🙌“

“Excellent Sushi 🍣 so fresh, amazing Thai been going there for over 11 years. You will not be disappointed. It's family-owned. It's more than just Sushi it has Thai,Seafood, Curry and of course freshest Sushi around! xopuma“

“the classic chicken souvlaki was great. the atmosphere wonderful and loud. 😀“

“Had the paella. Outstanding“

“We had the most wonderful evening at Bar Vera. Nancy and Kiria were so kind, attentive and welcoming. Our favorites were the fried halloumi, the kofte meatballs, and the best baklava I’ve ever had. One of the coziest date night spots in Stamford. Cannot wait to come back here ASAP!“

“Great place! Cozy, friendly atmosphere and the falafel was excellent, not dry and very flavorful. The pistachio cake was also amazing. So many interesting things to try, can’t wait to go back!“

“Great service and consistently great pizza!!“

“Awesome little find in Stamford’s historic South End.“

“Always awesome 👏 fabulous menu! Consistently delicious fresh food! Wonder attentive staff!“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“
