47 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.“

“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!“

“So I had never tried an Açaí Bowl, but my mini me Kalena raves about them. Last week she introduced me to the one of the most incredible food experiences. If you like them or if you want to try it, run don’t walk ( or drive quickly 😊) to The Juice Joint 2.0!!! The food is great, the owner and her staff are amazing and the atmosphere👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

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

“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.“

“We usually just do take out from here, but the selection of slices each day is great to choose from as always something different in the case. The garlic knots are also pretty good.

You better be hungry when ordering the Italian Entrees as the portions are huge. We always have leftovers if we each order our own. We've wisened up and will select an entree to share. The sauce on the entrees is fresh and delicious.

They are great with catering and have used them for several events. They're helpful and responsive to your needs.

The staff has always been kind and courteous to us....even in the busiest of times (place was hoping at 5pm on Superbowl Sunday .... but they were still pleasant despite being run ragged with to-go and take-out orders).“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“I have been visiting the border Cafe and had a good experience overall. The food is tasty, but the menu is a bit limited compared to other restaurants. The service is generally good and the staff are friendly. However, the waitress sometimes forgets a few things, and we noticed the bill had an extra item once and another time something we ordered was missing, so it’s a good idea to double-check the bill before paying.

One thing I really liked is that there was no wait time when we visited, which made the experience convenient. They also have a fun theme at times and staff may dress based on the occasion, which adds a nice touch to the atmosphere.

Overall, it’s a nice place for a casual meal with good food, but just make sure to review your order and bill.“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“Great service! Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“I really just the first time I went to the store and I was surprised this store have everything and reasonable prices and super good service. I’m glad for this people the owner and the cashier there was so good. I wish all the Stor like this.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 dream about your nachos 🤤“

“I had been wanting to try Cafe Gelato after hearing so many positive things, so we decided to go during Restaurant Week. I chose the Restaurant Week menu, while my husband ordered from the dinner specials. He was offered a soup or salad with his entrée, which we later realized came at an additional cost—something that wasn’t clearly explained upfront. He still enjoyed his meal overall.

The complimentary bread was delicious, but I found my meal to be somewhat underwhelming. The lobster chowder was quite bland, and I was expecting it to include noticeable pieces of lobster. The bacon sprinkled on top added some much-needed flavor.

The potato ravioli was a standout and very enjoyable. My main entrée—ricotta and lobster wrapped in homemade pasta—was decent, though again, the bacon was the highlight of the dish.

The menu gave the impression that dessert was included in the fixed price, and even our waitress acknowledged that the wording was misleading.

That said, the service was attentive, and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I’m glad I finally tried it, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations.“

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

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

“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!“
