Restaurants in Norwalk

“Yesterday was an amazing birthday for me as I spent it at Greer Southern Table‼️ Beautiful experience and I loved it🥰 I love how Greer goes around each table and greets her guest with full conversations. My favorite dish was the monkey bread and the chicken was nice and crispy. I hope she whip up that yam sauce we talked about for those egg rolls lol. The place is nice and oh for the ladies who love mirrors she has that right next to the bathroom for pics lol. Thanks for a great birthday brunch💜”

“The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Amanda was so friendly and welcoming. We stopped by on our way home from Cape Cod as first timers and will be lifelong customers from now on. 100% recommend!”

“the worst thing you could possibly say is that they are trying too hard to have a weicoming atmosphere.

incredible food for a great price, and one of the few places i would recommend coming in early to pick up your food at. it is halfway to an arcade inside, if you so choose.

the owners also go out of their way to support the local community, in case the authentic food and great vibes weren't enough.

strongly recommend.”

“very cool sustainable unique eco conscious fun place to gather , mingle , and enjoy”

“Excellent food, people, service, and atmosphere. So good!”

“This is my new favorite caffe! The sandwiches are incredible, they have a great coffee and tea selection, they have pastries, AND they have gelato! Everything is so good, and the ambiance is amazing. The staff are all incredibly kind and attentive, too. I love this place, 5 stars for sure.”

“Amazing food and wonderful staff! Helena and Amy provided excellent service and made the experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Just had my daughter's bridal shower at O'Deen's. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was beautiful and service was great. Fair prices as well! Would definitely recommend for any event!”

“Had different events they go above and beyond to make it perfect highly recommended”

“This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and it definitely won’t be my last. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our waiter, Pedro, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish exceeded expectations. I also appreciated that the manager was walking around, checking in and greeting guests—it gave the whole place a warm, welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this restaurant! It’s popular, so it’s best to make a reservation in advance.”

“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.”

“While I didn’t know where I was going searching for this place, I was sure grateful to have found it. Thank you for surprising me with a delicious meal. It was quite and unexpected adventure and delight.”

“Coals is a great restaurant! The food is absolutely amazing and right next to CT’s best gay bar Troupe429! If you’re looking for good food before a night out Coals is the place to go!”

“Party of four. Everything from apps to Coffee was delicious. Highly recommend.”

“Our 1st time visiting and parking was a bit of a challenge but oh so worth it. We loved the vibe and energy of this area. There are indoor and outdoor seating options with many beverage and food selections. Great place for couples, date nights, or family, friends outings.”

“Excellent!”

“We had my daughters baby shower at Banc house today. It was so perfect ! Delicious brunch ! Staff was super nice ! Thank you so much for making my daughter's day so so beautiful!”

We will definitely go back again and also order take out . A wonderful experience, great atmosphere, excellent food and staff.”

“Here for the 25th anniversary of Saint Baldrich’s foundation! Great time!”

“Food and service (thanks Joseph!) were fantastic. Best Italian food we’ve had in the area. It is attached to a hotel so seems a little funny walking in but it’s a beautiful space and the view of the river is very nice. We will be back.”

“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”

“Have been back several times and always a great experience. The frozen espresso martini is always a must. The stuffed zucchini flowers are delicious along with the cold seafood salad and the hot/sweet peppers. I ordered the Branzino and it never disappoints.”

“My family and I were driving back home and decided to make a pit stop at Marshalls in Norwalk CT. Two doors to the right is Vedas a small cozy 8-seater restaurant that offered Indian lunch specials. My wife and daughter had always associated Indian food to be spicy, but they were willing to try it out. So my wife ordered the butter chicken and my daughter the chicken tikka masala and butter naan. The hot meals came and after eating for a while, they said wow this is delicious, it is not spicy and has this nice blend of spices. Perfect! I ordered palak paneer with a bit of spice and the dish was so tasty. Whether your taste buds are into non spicy or spicy Indian dishes, check out Vedas and you’ll find their specials and prices are friendly for travelers.”

“The best in Norwalk for sure, great ambience, food & service is A+”

“Great staff, great food. Celebre mi boda en este lugar y todo fue excelente. Los recomiendo 100%”

“excellent food and wine I could no ask for more”

“We love coming to Rio Border Mexican Restaurant. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing although I noticed that the portions have gotten alot smaller. I will say this...they do make an awesome Margherita!”

“I have been to this location multiple times and they have a nice selection of Donuts and Breakfast Sandwiches. My favorite item is the Egg Sandwich Croissant with bacon, cheese and egg whites. It is delicious and very filling. The associates are really nice and helpful. A good place to visit.”

“Easy_on_easy_off from exit 16 of i_95 (Connecticut turnpike), drive thru available but no outdoor seating. Plenty of parking on the side and in the rear of the building. There is a dairy queen counter inside this location. The inside space is cozy, comfy and good for groups or for dining alone. Male and female restrooms available inside.”

“When I walked in, the place was completely packed, drive thru was packed, and take out orders were coming through one after the other. Meanwhile there were only two women working behind the counter. They were both working hard but I was seriously impressed with Camilla. I had to write a review cause I've never seen anyone literally running around from register to register, taking orders with a smile on her face, just on point with it. Not only that, she was even making ice cream and milkshakes at the Baskin Robbins counter. There is still great work ethic out there and she deserves a raise, a bonus and employee of the year..”

“This place is definitely underrated. We were driving upstate and randomly picked it, and it turned out to be a great stop. It’s right next to the exit and has plenty of parking spaces. The environment is super clean, including the bathrooms.

Besides the environment, the store is equipped with multiple automated ordering machines, which make it easy to order and customize your choices. We discovered the matcha latte and switched our sandwich to a butter croissant, and they also offered the option to warm our muffins. The food is good and served quickly as well. A very pleasant place to stop by during a road trip!”

“Nice,Clean and fast Service.”

“I took my grandson to this location for a donut for breakfast. He really likes Dunkin Donuts. The associate was very nice and patient with us. It was a good experience. I would like to recommend that Dunkin make a Maple Iced Donut. Those are great where you can find them.”

“It’s a McDonald’s. A good one at that. Boof for your health (obviously) but this specific location is always quick, employees are friendly, and the food comes out hot 9 times out of 10, no complaints”

“LOVE the vibes here! We went as a group with our young kids and there was plenty of room for them to explore, the outdoor area was so nice and the live music was fantastic. The staff was so kind to our kids and made our experience 10/10! Highly recommend!!”

“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!”

“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.”

Incredible! We recommend Wave Hill Breads for all of your baked good needs ❤️”

“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!!!”

“The Donuts are tremendous, but unfortunately the employees here lack customer service skills. More than once I've waited in line for 15-20 minutes and not even be greeted...... No good......”

We'll definitely go back if we're ever in that area again.”

Our dinner included the Everest Pickled Mushrooms which were amazing. Once we bit into the first bite our tastebuds had a burst of happiness- they are flavorful and just plain delicious!!! . If you like mushrooms you will definitely love this dish. We both had the Mix Vegetable Tarkari( Nepali Style- Vegan), Khyber Parantha, the sweet and mango lassi and Moong Dal Halwa for dessert. Delicious and perfectly balanced food! Taste of Everest has a very nice, relaxed atmosphere, wonderful food and exceptionally warm service. We enjoyed everything, that we even bought a gift certificate, to give to another friend and we will definitely be going back. You definitely need to give Taste of Everest a try- you will not be disappointed.”

“Was dealing with some badly faded and chalking paint on the exterior that needed proper surface preparation before new paint would stick properly. Leo Bros cleaned and treated the surfaces correctly and the new paint applied over properly prepared substrate looks completely different from the old chalking surface it replaced. Good to have painters who understand why prep matters.”

“I’ve ordered from Guac Time through Uber Eats a few times now, and it has consistently been a great experience. If you’re looking for high-quality Mexican food that actually delivers well, this is a top-tier choice.

The Highlights:

Honey Chipotle Chicken: This is the absolute star of the menu. The balance of sweet and smoky heat is incredible—easily one of the best chicken dishes I’ve had from a Mexican grill.

Chicken Tenders: Honestly, surprisingly good for a Mexican spot! They are juicy, well-breaded, and paired with their signature sauces, they make for a perfect side or meal on their own.

The Sauces: Don't skip these. They add so much flavor to everything and really elevate the meal.

Value & Delivery:
While it averages around $20–$30 per person when ordering delivery, the portions are very generous. You definitely get your money's worth in terms of quantity and ingredient quality. The food always arrives fresh and holds its texture well during transport.

Final Verdict:
A reliable, flavorful, and satisfying option for a casual meal at home. Highly recommend the honey chipotle chicken if it’s your first time ordering!”

“All I can say is SOHO Bar in Norwalk was a breath of fresh air. The place was immaculate, my bartender Tony was amazing, the drinks were strong, andcthe prices were fair. Most important is was it not as loud or crazy as all the other places in the area. This is my new spot in Norwalk.”

“Oggi was raved about by my brother for months! I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint!
They make the Gelato in house, and they have so many amazing flavors, and exceptional traditional flavors!
I got one scoop of pistachio and one scoop of vanilla (which was before I realized I had missed an entire row of flavors 😢) but that will be my reason to go back!
I did try a few of their flavors including the biscoti/or maybe biscoff one; and it was SO good!!
The kids loved the gelato, and the tables are nifty!
The line gets long very quickly, but the service is fast enough to make it work it. Any wait for this Gelato is more than worth it. MUST TRY!!!
I will absolutely go back here when I am in Norwalk!”

“I had a surprise party here for my friend and planned the entire thing without ever being there and Janell made it perfect!! Food was 10/10 service was beyond my expectations and went above everything I could’ve asked for!!! Can’t Recommend this establishment enough!!!”

“the service,food hospital and location”

“The Chocobana ice cream shop is a Dominican treasure in Norwalk and I am so happy I found you Yeni!
The food we ordered for our school was amazingly delicious and the cake was absolutely excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care—every bite was satisfying and well-balanced. The presentation was beautiful, and the quality exceeded expectations.
The cake was the highlight: moist, rich, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. It’s the perfect Dominican cake. You can truly taste the freshness of the ingredients, and the texture was just right. It was the perfect ending to an already wonderful meal.
Thank you, Yeni for the wonderful service, hospitality, and amazing food.”

“I stopped by at this “Star-Buck”. Honestly, I’m shocked that the employees show up to work at all. But they were delightful. This young man named Duncle? serviced me and made me a delicious hot java. I believe that he is the North Star of this entire location, and absolutely is a beautiful soul. I came with my friend, and Duncle addressed his concerns about cow treatment with grace.”
