40 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Manchester

“I'm not cultured enough to know how this compares to all Thai food, but I know this place is the best I've had in CT. They really seem to care. A couple of examples. The meat is cut to larger sizes compared to other Thai restaurants. The fried rice actually has subtle char as it should. They are going above and beyond in a market where they could probably get away with just being average.“

“Excellent all around. Great food and atmosphere.“

“I would be there right now if they still had the chicken parm sandwich“

“It Is My opinion that this is the best Italian Food in Connecticut. if you love Italian food you will love this restaurant.“

“Cool that you can watch the pizzas being made fresh and baked in the large oven. Did take quite some time from when I ordered, but likely because its a very busy place and very popular. Definitely fresh pies. If going for pepperoni, it is sausage style (thick and small disks vs thinner large disks) as an FYI“

“Delicious!! 😋 The Seattle Omelet (think loaded baked potato wrapped in a light egg blanket of love) is to die for!! Food is great! Atmosphere is warm and friendly and Mike is the bomb! 💣 of course we will be back!!“

“Yes yes yes’s. Great waitress and fabulous bus boy. Leighana and Aaron are great employees“

“The food was great! I got chicken chow mein, house rice, and an egg roll. The chicken chow mein vegetables were nice and crunchy. Plenty of chicken. The house rice was delightful with shrimp. The egg roll was crunchy and filled with vegetables. All the food was served nice and hot! I even received a small side of white rice and crunchy fried egg noodles!“

“📅 August 23, 2025 WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews - Ep. 153 Filomena’s On Main Street Town of Manchester, CT 🌆 Atmosphere & Vibe We walked into a great atmosphere - families around, a warm and friendly vibe, and a beautiful interior. The crowd was very diverse, which added to the positive energy and sense of community in the room. Inside, it looks amazing, making it a comfortable and enjoyable place to settle in for dinner. Overall, the atmosphere here was top-notch. 👥 Service Our server was Joel, and he set the tone right away. He was very nice, attentive, and friendly, checking in often and making sure we had everything we needed. The whole staff gave off that same positive, welcoming energy. 🍽️ What I Ordered 1️⃣ Buffalo Wings- Hot (10 pcs) - $16 👍🏾 👉🏾 Amazing, top-notch chicken wings. Cooked just right and full of flavor. 2️⃣ Buffalo Wings- House Blend (10 pcs)- $16 👍🏾 👉🏾 Same deal - perfectly done, flavorful, and backed up by a delicious blue cheese dressing. 3️⃣ Calamari (Appetizer) - $16 👍🏾 👉🏾 Crispy, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Absolutely amazing. 4️⃣ Hot Honey Chicken Deluxe Sandwich (with fries) - $18 👍🏾 👉🏾 Solid sandwich. Chicken was juicy, hot honey brought the right kick, and the fries were on point. A very good plate. 5️⃣ Chicken Parmesan - $23 👍🏾 👉🏾 Delicious and well executed. The chicken was tender and soft - I could cut it easily with my fork. The sauce was flavorful, the mozzarella melted perfectly, and the whole dish came together beautifully. A great chicken parm that earns a strong thumbs up. 📝 Final Take Filomena’s on Main Street in Manchester absolutely delivered. From the welcoming and diverse atmosphere to the friendly service from Joel, everything lined up for a great night. The wings and calamari were excellent, the sandwich solid, and the chicken parmesan was a standout. And after tonight, I can finally say it… I like Filomena’s. …on Main Street. 😏 ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “Always keeping it Real to Reel.”“

“We had the Taco Pizza and one of the "12 Grinders delivered last night with some chicken wings. The Pizza was amazing, the Grinder was surprisingly HUGE and absolutely delicious. Huge chunks of chicken, lots of cheese, good flavor!! The chicken wings were disappointing but still would 100% recommend. Thanks for a delicious dinner 😁“

“Great food. Good turn around time. Faster then most places!“

“When I ask for medium rare they deliver. Both times that I have stopped in, Callie took great care of my grandmother and I, she is incredibly helpful and friendly. I am honestly very excited for the next burger to try out.“

“absolutely the best sushi around.“

“Came to the Angry Egg this morning for some coffee and a quick breakfast and it was fast and delicious! Service was excellent and everyone was super friendly! I got the French vanilla coffee and the 2 egg breakfast, it was perfect! Thank you! I’ll be back!“

“My favorite spot to hang out. Been around a long time, very consistent.“

“Hands down the best Indian buffet that I've ever had in the US. Thursday is their Dosa night where they have a live Dosa station along with South Indian staples served in buffet style. On the weekends they have buffet lunch ranging from Goat Dum biriyani to Haryali green chili chicken to their famous Tawa fish (amazing appetizer). If you're around Hartford or a student at UConn do yourself a favor and visit this place for their buffets. The restaurant is clean, they serve alcohol , service is excellent and the food is honestly to die for! I cannot recommend this place enough 👌🏼💯“

“Found this gem when using Google to find a nearby sushi restaurant. Very nice staff, friendly and fast service. Food was very good. The kimchi tofu soup was a pleasant surprise to try, will definitely be getting that again. I love Boba tea, didn't dissapoint. Had the spring rolls for appetizer, crispy and flavorful. Tried our favorite classics spicy tuna and shrimp tempura, very happy with our experience. will be coming back. Don't forget your Sake!“

“Salsa Mexican Grill over Chipotle any day. Affordable, and so darn good. Gabby helped me out with quick recommendations and even got me signed up for rewards. She was super helpful and sweet. Employees like her are why I keep giving this place my business.“

“Used to be an employee here years ago and after I left it wasnt looking to great. Been coming back every so often when I want some decent fried chicken because, I wont go to Popeyes or KFC. I can proudly say that the new owners are doing a phenomenal job with keeping the place as clean as a whistle and the food doesnt taste of old oil either. They 100% without a doubt turned the whole store around in a good way and I will definitely keep coming back. Their sandwiches are even better. The chicken is a lot more tender then when I remembered and they also added a few more things onto the menu which are definitely worth trying. Keep up the great work guys I look forward to getting something everytime I go in there now which is crazy to say. Keep it up. Much love over here“

“food was delicious. service was friendly“

“First time going here.
It was absolutely amazing. We met the owner, who was the nicest man ever. Our server was so great and the food was beyond amazing. We spent fathers day here and it was absolutely worth it. Id give more stars if possible.“

“Been there often when I worked in Manchester. Came in today from the other side of the State and got 3 orders of pepper steak. As always did not disappoint. Best in CT if not beyond. Sizable portions, warm and friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. Definitely recommend’“

“Karaoke night is always off the chain!I am a rotating KJ. The house sound system can be very finicky, but when we get it on point, the music and sound is incredible!!! Megan is such a wonderful bartender and support!!! Drinks are flowing, and music is bumping. What more can you ask for on a Sunday night? The Tiger does not disappoint!“

“While I can't speak to the in restaurant experience, I ordered takeout from here for the first time and I will certainly be ordering again. The chicken and sausage carbonara is so tasty, and the portion size could feed three people. The wings were fried well, and I'm looking forward to trying other flavors. Overall, it's giving the perfect neighborhood takeout spot that will likely be my go to moving forward.“

“Always excellent service and attentive“

“Excellent food, innovative menu, & very reasonable prices. Also the "Taqueria" setup where you are prompted to build your own. Yeah like Moe's & Chipotle but this place is a million times better & a genuine family owned hard working small busuness.“

“I accidentally ordered the wrong thing. I wanted a ribeye and I ordered the pork chops by mistake, I said, cowboy instead of outlaw, and they made everything right when they saw the face that I had when it came out they were truly awesome and did everything with a smile.“

“Great bagels but my local big y never puts them out with the other bread , they hide them in the freezer, I have to ask the bakery person to get some for me , very odd can’t see how they are going to make a sale that way , Danielson ct big y“

“Friendly staff, good portions and changing breakfast specials. Nice atmosphere. I go here 3x a week.“

“Dinner with my daughter and grandkids“

“we have eaten here many, many times... the service, food, and waitstaff are all excellent and we will be back again in the next few weeks..“

“excellent pizza, friendly staff and love the owner!“

“Why would you put a new bartender on ALONE on a Friday night?!? We were finished with our appetizers before our drinks even came. Very poor staffing choice.“

“The food is delicious great price for other places, would come again Thankyou Placita the employees are very nice I feel like home 😉“

“I had the chicken Philly sanwhich, it was vert good, albeit a little over cooked. I qas serviced by two bartends, one was pretty good, the other one seemed to forget that I was there, even whem she was standing in front of me.

The outdoor area is great, lively and fun.“

“Excellent buffet with a huge selection of fresh and delicious food! The hibachi grill was a highlight—the ingredients were fresh, and everything was cooked perfectly. The sushi, seafood, desserts, and hot dishes were all plentiful and tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean, spacious, and welcoming. Great value for money and perfect for families or groups. We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!“
