50 Best Vegan Restaurants in New Haven

“First found Ninth Square at CompassionFest! Food SO delicious & healthy - now that we’ve found their New Haven place we can get the food more often. The pictures & videos make my mouth water!!!😋“

“I love Olmo!! The food is so good, the service is so warm, and the price is right! I ate here almost every day I was visiting New Haven and it never disappointed! Shoutout to the incredibly kind and attentive team and a special thanks to my babygirl Lisseth 🤘🏼🥯“

“Modern Apizza is our favorite pizza restaurant. Always a must when we are in New Haven. Nothing comes close in Florida“

“Really good pizza. Crust was perfect. We got a meat lovers. My husband got a chicken parm sub which was really good but not as good as the pizza. We were also really excited about the desserts but didn't enjoy the carrot cake. Go for the pizza!“

“You must eat here! One of the great meals of all time. The food is spectacular and the service is just as good.“

“Munchies makes the BEST cheese steak in CT hands down!! Sooo good!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything was great! My wife and I brought our two kids (14 & 11) there yesterday evening and everyone enjoyed themselves. The oysters, shrimp, and clam chowder couldn’t have been more fresh. Kids enjoyed their lobsters and our steaks were cooked perfectly. Our youngest thought our server Adam looked like Tom Brady lol. All around perfect- thank you!“

“I had the pleasure of working alongside Jack and Janet’s team at a wedding hosted at Griswold Point, and they were truly fantastic to work with. Throughout the evening, my guests could not stop complimenting the incredible charcuterie board and delicious pizza. We had 140 guests to serve, and their team managed to feed everyone in under 45 minutes, the fastest service I’ve experienced at any wedding I’ve planned! I highly recommend this pizza truck for full-service catering at any event.

“Incredibly delicious and unique!“

“Absolutely delicious food in tremendous service!“

“Great atmosphere. Food is worth it—not vegan? Still delish. Try it—you’ll see!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit today, the food was delicious and the service EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you for offering the GLUTEN-FREE injera and all of the creative vegetarian dishes... we loved the fresh and flavorful salads (Key Sir Selata and the Timatim Fitfit), then had the best Ater Kik and Tikel Gomen I have ever had in my life! We will definitely return, and highly recommend to anyone in search of authentic Ethiopian cuisine!“

“I discovered this store when I was High School, around 1977. Graduated 1978 from Wibur Cross. They were on Edgewood Avenue and Platt Street. Then they moved to Whalley Avenue. I still tell people about this store. Always love it. 🥰“

“Fabulous bacon and mushroom pizza“

“This review is long over do. This women has been blessed with the gift of baking. She makes things up and it comes to life. I can't go there too much because she has caused my family and I to become addicts. Baby she make a sweet potato cookie. Its not your average cookie plop some dough and bake. It has a buttery sweet crispy outside and in the middle a creamy sweet potato surprise. I have tried a lot of things in this bakery but that cookie is my goto. I dont buy just one. I get one for the car and one for home that I cut in 4s so I can stretch it out. I am currently in cookie rehab right now but I will be relapsing on Tuesday. Go check it out I promise you won't be disappointed. I forgot to tell you the customer service is phenomenal and the staff is amazing I will add pictures when I go back. See you there.“

“The best soft serve ice cream I have ever had! I have to go every week!“

“What a warm and wholesome vibe, and very authentic middle eastern food! The staff is so friendly and the Arabic coffee wakes me up like nothing else. Even being a customer at Havenly makes you a part of their commendable mission - to create space for international cultures“

“The food was amazing, and the spice of the food was potent and flavorful! It was fantastic!“

“Very intimate setting. The wait staff were very friendly. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and the manager came over to congratulate us as well as give us a complimentary toast.“

“This is my most favorite spot to grab breakfast and lunch. The entire staff, especially Jess is awesome. They treat you like family. Would recommend to everyone.“

“I dined at Rawa one time but I recomme the lamb chops, pita, spicy chicken wings, chicken breast on a bed of lentils.“

“This is the best (if not only) place in the New Haven, CT area to get authentic Levantine food, including / especially toum. Eating here brings me back to past vacations in Lebanon and the incredible food and company I enjoyed there; for those that prefer other cuisines, this place has you covered as well! Pizza, pasta, the full gamut of Mediterranean food!“

“The food was amazing! Very impressed. Love the vibes.. very cool spot and reasonably priced.“

“First time there. Wanted to try a different place than our usual couple of places. Very interesting menu with a huge variety, we had to bring home 3 different pies to try, and they were great! Can’t wait to go back and try more. 🍕❤️“

“I love this ice cream place it is great place for friends and family!!“

“The highlights were excellent food and friendly welcoming staff. Until the next time... ☺️“

“Our server Devine was amazing and so well poised. The appetizers of meatballs and their charcuterie was presented beautifully. The only issue was with dinner. We got the squid ink pasta and the filet. You could 110% taste the food was high quality and fresh but it missed the mark for us on taste. It lacked so much flavor. If you’re looking for a good simple meal with 5 star service, this is the place but if you’re looking for dishes that the chef cares about flavor and excitement, this restaurant lacks in that. It was a good experience over all but we were just disappointed because there’s so much potential for it to be a restaurant where you go back specifically for that one dish because it tasted so good.“

“we went today and of course I had to have the clam pizza. It was amazing! Our waitress Charlotte was so informative and had a great personality. She has been there for 33 years and was so fun to talk to. Can't wait to go back!!“

“One of our favorite spots“

“The food is excellent, so full of flavor!“

“We ordered cupcakes for two different parties in one weekend and Sweet Mary’s did not disappoint. Great, yummy, moist cupcakes and terrific service. Sweet Mary’s is the best for cupcakes hands down!!!“

“One of my favorite places to eat healthy food while in New Haven!!!“

“AMAZING VEGAN SUBS AND PASTA DISHES.“

“Excellent dinner and very friendly staff“

“Everyone talks about Sally's or Frank Pepe's apizza here and there but frankly the best pizza I've had in New Haven so far is from this spot. They do take forever to make your pizza on busy days, regardless it is well worth waiting for. I'm assuming the pizza would be less expensive if they didn't charge so much for toppings. The pizzas are huge, plan accordingly with a group of buddies instead of ordering a whole pie for yourself. Would say the same of the calzone, which a friend got“

“Chap’s Grille is truly a hidden gem! The fact that one person was in the kitchen making all the food and still delivering everything super fast and incredibly delicious. The quality, flavor, and care in every dish really show. I absolutely loved the food and the whole experience. Highly recommend!“

“Food was excellent and very healthy. I had the chicken and broccoli combination platter. It was some of the best I ever had. Chicken was nice and tender and very crispy. Broccoli and carrots were very delicious. Definitely will be going back. House of Chao is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. Would recommend to anyone who is passing through the Westville New Haven area and looking for good quality Chinese food ??“

“Usually their salads are delicious. But today i came by, right when they opened up (prob a mistake) and ordered a crispy chicken salad … My salad was done in about 5 mins …. ( how can chicken be cooked that fast?) Anyway, i tried to eat the salad for dinner. My croutons were stale, the bread was stale and tomatoes along with the cucumbers tasted like theve been sitting out from the night before. I doubt chicken was freshly made. I’m so disappointed. Next time i know not to come right when they open up.“

“Absolutely loved dining there with my husband special thanks to Ciara she was an amazing server and made delicious cocktails the burgers were great as well as the fried pickles which were my favorite we absolutely will be back it’s very laid back love the lighting it was perfect for a lunch date we very much enjoyed it.“

“If anyone went to Jepson school in the 90s this is Cheryl from Carol’s classes place!! The food is so good!! it’s made with love and tastes like it’s made from your mom’s kitchen. It’s definitely a go to breakfast/lunch spot in New Haven! <3“

“chocolate nut party 10 out of 10 😍 the nuts the chocolate the fudge squares omg decadent and ofc the crispy crepe! service is always grate and the ladies are always so sweet“

“Awesome food vindaloo was 🔥“

“Excellent food. High quality breakfast.“

“This is my first time trying Columbian food and I am hooked!!!!! The AL Pastor Columbian style Arepas is by far one of the most delicious things I have had in a long time. The cornbread base was sweet without being cloying and mixed with the pork and pineapple, OH MY GOD! My dish came with a side of some of the most flavorful rice I have ever had and it was topped with some sweet plantains. The serving is more than generous. I'm a big girl and I am easily getting 2 meals out of my order. The prices are very reasonable! Do yourself a favor and find this hidden gem while you are in town. You will not be disappointed!“

“Bowl=AMAZING Staff= VERY FRIENDLY AND PATIENT Will definitely be returning!!“

“The atmosphere is intimate, the empanada's are so amazing, with a very creative variety!! It is clear that this is a labor of love, and your palette will benefit in a big way. I also, happen to catch a couple of event nights there that were really enjoyable. One, displayed a artists paintings, and the other was an open mic night, anyone was welcome. That was most enjoyable.. Put this on your "must" list!!“

“Best coffee shop in the neighborhood. Friendly but fast service, yummy food, good music in background. Cozy. It's a keeper! Ps: their lavender lemonade is the ultimate summer drink)“

“10/10 as a first impression dinner. took my wife here for her birthday and she's deciding if it's top 3 or top 5 of restaurants we've been to. will be back. great service and extremely tender and flavorful dishes.“

“This restaurant was well worth the hour drive to get there. They served the best potato salad I have ever had - & trust me I have tried hundreds of them in my long life. The vegetable dinner option I enjoyed today was perfect. I highly recommend the cabbage, black eye peas, and Caribbean rice along with the amazing potato salad. And I must add that the moist, scrumptious, and famous corn bread couldn’t have been better. Sandra’s is a place I will return to. I’m a vegetarian newbie who’s grateful for the nutritious, delicious food and the sweet and friendly service at this gem of a place.“
