48 Best Vegan Restaurants in Newark

“I came to Metro Diner this morning off the humbug. I was starving & was craving some chicken & waffles from somewhere close in the area. Surprisingly the chicken was very seasoned and crispy. The waffles were also very tasty and soft. The strawberry butter mixed with their signature hot sauce was also pretty good. Alicia was my server. She was such a doll :) Her knowledge of the menu is impeccable and she took very good care of me. If you are in the Newark area and would like some tasty and quick diner food, go there & ask for Alicia <3 Thanks Alicia will be there again real soon !“

“Ole Tapas has come to our event for two years in a row and they are definitely a favorite. The food is always prepared to perfection and the staff is always so kind and professional. I personally always recommend the street tacos. We are so grateful for the hard workers over at Ole Tapas.“

“I love banh mi here. The taste and flavor are very authentic and fresh. My favorite is banh mi heo quay with crispy pork skin. The kitchen and store look very clean and new. Great customer service as well. Will definitely come back.“

“I've been there four times, 2x Lunch, 2x Dinner. Food, Ambiance, Service, each somewhere between Very Good and Excellent.“

“Ali Baba has amazing food! love the Salmon and Kabobs! They participated in the Newark Arts Alliance Taste of Dessert competition again this year, and their Baklava took 1st place - the best!“

“The 🌶️ ramen…my fav!! Delicious!“

“Yum!!! 3 roll special The house bread was to die for Love the lighting and atmosphere Will be back for sure!“

“We’re frequent customers at the Montvale, New Jersey, store, but this was our first visit to the Christiana (Delaware) First Watch. Spectacular food and spectacular hospitality from our server, Vanessa! I always get the ‘Traditional’ breakfast and a blueberry pancake. So yummy! My wife loved her ‘Farmhouse Skillet Scramble’! Hope we see you and your friends again, Vanessa! - Jim & Laurel Lambert“

“Great vegan/veggie joint. Pretty high prices but the food is all made in house and tastes great. This area is expensive for businesses to operate so it makes sense. Fresh produce is key to their flavor. Pretty decent service, although you can definitely feel it when they're busy--the staff tries their best and have great attitudes. Highly recommended local business. The ambiance is pretty neat but not too remarkable, a bit of modern and a bit hippie all at once. Larger parties any struggle to find seating unless they give a notice prior to the day they want to be served.“

“Great location and great food.“

“Chiwa Bistro location along the sidewalk near The Christiana Mall (not inside the mall) has very professional staff members that work fast paced with accurate food preparation. Inside Chiwa Bistro, the store has cool unique interior decorations as shown in this reviews pictures. Keep up the good work and Thank you for giving me a cool experience.“

“Originated from Bklyn, NY; have lactose intolerance and tried this new tab. Wanted a Sicilian slice so bad for the last 2 decades, tried Amalfi. Definitely a good square, but can't say it's like NY, being honest. Probably NYC water in the end. Will definitely go back, thanks for the square, it was worth it!“

“Everything on the menu is worth it. It’s so good! From the food, to the drinks, to the service!“

“I went with my group on a Thursday which was a very light evening which allowed my group to enjoy our whole dining experience. Our server had time to explain the menu and make recommendation to our group that included a 4 year old. Why is this relevant? Because, she gave her the same respectful service as she did the adults. Thank you. Now let's get to the food. I had the Chicken Picatta. I had to take the picture because at the first bite I new it was about to be destroyed. I left nothing on the plate. The Impossible Sloppy for those who need a vegan option also got a thumbs up. The food comes out hot hot! No one complained! I will be back the next time I am in Delaware.“

“My wife and I enjoyed a great meal this evening at Pinang Asian Cuisine. The flavors were wonderful. The service was excellent, friendly and prompt. The atmosphere in the dining area was pleasant aesthetically with music to match. Definite 5 stars.“

“Great food and atmosphere!!“

“Great bowls and burritos! Well above the chain options. Food is fresh, delicious and place is clean and customer service friendly.“

“Just found out about this place a month or so ago and got to say they are awesome. Like Pho? Like Sandwiches? They got you! Pho Sandwich is awesome! All the flavors, but no soup. And the roll they use. Toasted goodness. Mmmm. Wish I lived closer.“

“Very good soups, sandwiches and more! Yuuuuuuuumy!“

“Best Indian cuisine in Delaware! Fairly priced and friendly staff! We will be back very soon!!“

“We've now had Viva Vegan make at least half a dozen custom cakes for us over the last couple of years, and they've all been excellent! The head baker/owner Evangelina can handle any dietary constraints. One of our recent cakes had to be gluten free and also avoid a few other common ingredients, and the cake was still very fluffy and moist and delicious... a big hit among all of our guests! She uses organic and high quality ingredients as well, which no other bakery in town does that I know of.“

“Great menu options. Always fresh and delicious. Great service too.“

“Ciani was amazing, she was our waitress! This was our second time visiting this establishment and from the front door to the table they are effecient! The manager on duty is funny and is a joy to talk to on both visits. Keep up the great work TP!“

“We stopped in to Two Stones Pub at Kennett Sq after visiting Longwood Gardens. What a wonderful experience! The service was friendly and helpful and the food and craft beers were exceptional! The mushroom soup was the best we've ever had. Wish you had a location in Ft Myers FL!!! Thanks again!“

“The place is clean with a friendly and nice atmosphere! My son and I had Oxtail Pho and Fried Calamari for dinner. It was quite delicious, and we did not have to wait long for the foods to be served. Excellent service! Good reasonable price for the quality of foods! The good nature and friendly chef also was outside at our table greeting us and brought out a good pot of hot tea to start. I had a chance of speaking Vietnamese with him! I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family here!“

“Wonderful service, fast, so attentive—and HOMEMADE FOOD. As a college student, this is the most affordable ($5-10/meal & $2-3/drink—total $60 for 5 people today) and best tasting. There are dishes here you can’t get anywhere else (or cook yourself). Also the best bacon!“

“I didn’t just grab vegan chocolate at 67 Cafe — I grabbed a whole experience. After snagging a delicious vegan chocolate bar from the neighboring Newark Natural Foods, I wandered into 67 Cafe, found myself a super comfy chair, and set up shop to study something a little niche: autonomous vehicle prompt engineering (yeah, it’s as futuristic as it sounds).

The atmosphere here is perfect for focus — relaxed, welcoming, and with that kind of low hum that makes you feel like you’re part of a quiet but thriving community. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Raina, who was working the counter when I came in and whom I rewarded a decent tip to. Friendly, efficient, and just genuinely good energy — exactly the kind of person you want as the face of a neighborhood spot.

Whether you’re looking for a place to sip, snack, or deep-dive into a cutting-edge study session, 67 Cafe has you covered. I’ll absolutely be back — probably with another vegan treat in one hand and a laptop full of AI prompts in the other. 🚀🍫“

“Love this place. Always good. Friendly staff. Can’t go wrong!“

“Love this place! Food is fresh and delicious! ♥️“

“A great venue, not far from the UD campus right on the river. Good food at decent prices. Their upstairs venue space is awesome. We are there monthly for the Vanguard Event and they go out of their way with custom drinks and great service. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Enjoyed my birthday tonight with family and friends. Grew up in Newark and have never eaten here. It did not disappoint. Love the history and the ambience. Our waitress, Piper was phenomenal, .... friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. The food was perfectly portioned and all tasted great. The soft pretzel was wonderful. The Brussel Sprouts was excellent and the short ribs were tender and flavorful. The apple cider mule was a perfect drink to top it all off.“

“Absolutely delicious! 😊 Everything was loaded with flavor- the macs, the sandwiches, the burgers“

“I’ve been going here for about two years now and this is my of my favorite restaurants in the area. The Baja Shrimp tacos have this amazing sauce that makes the meal so so good. And the burros have such a good sauce too. I also love their fries, they’re so unique with them being so thin. The service here is also great. You get sat quickly, your server comes over fast, and your food comes out fast. The other night I had this server Dana who was so sweet and we had a nice conversation. It was great because I was dining alone so I was happy to have someone to talk to. And she recommended the pastelitos and they were delicious. Highly recommend!!!“

“Great service! Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“Toda la comida estaba muy rica. La verdad es que me fascinan los mariscos y nunca había encontrado un restaurante como este que los preparara tan deliciosos. También quiero destacar a la mesera Talía, que es muy buena atendiendo y muy atenta con los clientes.“

“Tonight’s visit was very nice. Our server made our meal enjoyable. Prompt, professional and she enjoyed our cheese jokes. Thank you for a wonderful dinner“

“Stopped in for the first time… had time to kill before heading to Yarn & Bone in the same shopping center. IT WAS AMAZING. The coffee was fresh and delicious (coming from someone that drinks it black… iykyk). I got the Eggs Benedict on the Cheddar Biscuit and I would drive up from Dover just to eat that again 😂😍. We have adoption events once a month in their neighboring store, and this is going to be a monthly breakfast stop moving forward!“

“Best shawarma I have ever had. I have tried other places and gotten nothing but bland meat and sauce on a pita. Oasis uses a thin pita wrap which only makes the actual shawarma that much flavorful. Great baba ganoush too - everything is just so very delicious! I need to see if they sell their garlic sauce in the market for sure.“

“I had placed an doordash and received the wrong order same name just different last name. i called the store and they were so understanding. i placed a new order and they added an free brownie, chips and even a drink. so thank you so much honey grow and especially ms.loraine the manager i believe.“

“I love this place. One of my all time favorites. I’ve been going here for over 10-15 years and it’s still fantastic. A nice little family owned spot. If you love Indian food it’s a must try especially if you love North Indian food though they have a bit of everything!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of veg options like any true Indian spot

Parking: Plenty of spots. It’s a wide open lot

Kid-friendliness: Seems kid friendly, there was a kid there during my visit

Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap parking spots and a ramp to enter“

“went sunday for brunch! the food was really good, but that espresso martini was amazing! it was really busy but our server Ashley was awesome!“

“Eight family members celebrated being together during the Christmas holidays. The food was excellent. I had Parma Rosa with shrimp, crab, and lobster. Delicious. Another had gnocchi, another salmon, beef tips, etc. all excellent choices. We also enjoyed the calamari and burrata for apps and a variety of desserts. I feel like it is reasonably priced. Service was spot on.“

“Prices are reasonable but the service is very poor to the point of almost being non existent!“

“I dream about your nachos 🤤“

“Bet. Plus that curly headed blonde is a 10/10. Would bang for an Island Green.“

“Great beer. Great food. Sticky tables“

“I always ask for extra lettuce, in my bowl, cause I don’t get a lot of toppings. They put maybe a mouthful more. Wow, can you spare it.. I only get meat, bacon, rice. Plus not a single person in that place knew how to fix the soda machine. All of a sudden it just stopped, so as far as I’m concerned, they owe me a lg soda.“

“I hope I have the right location ? But I order through doordash and it has more or less always been an awesome experience. Rarely do I ever have an issue and everything from here is delicious! I've been ordering for a while and never once had a major issue. Yall are awesome!“
