50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Meridian

“I’ve been to/ordered from Red Fort a lot, and always enjoyed it, but it’s those outlier experiences that get you to remember to write a review, for better or worse. Last night we celebrated my daughter’s birthday and we decided to DoorDash an order from them. This was a long distance order. We got the food, and as usual it was amazing. Absolutely stellar entrees. But something got mixed up in the kitchen and something sweet my kid ordered was seasoned savory, which just didn’t work. So I shot them an email, referencing my order number. I was expecting that they could double check to make sure no other orders had that issue, maybe give me a coupon for next time. No. A manager called me. Because of how far we are (30 minute drive), rather than reemploy DoorDash, he *personally* drove a fixed version of her item—plus extras—out to us. This was a smaller item, not her main food. We’d have been okay. But it made her birthday having the problem fixed. This is the best customer service I’ve received, and paired with the quality of the rest of the food and the fair prices, it pains me to say since they are a franchise, but Red Fort is quickly becoming my favorite Indian restaurant in the valley. Highly recommend.“

“DJ gave us outstanding service!

Our server was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we were seated, they were friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our experience great. He knew the menu well, made excellent recommendations, and checked in at just the right times without being intrusive. Drinks stayed full, food came out exactly as ordered, and everything felt smooth and well-paced.

What really stood out was his positive attitude and professionalism—it made the whole experience more enjoyable. This level of service is rare and very much appreciated. We’ll definitely be back and hope to be served by them again!“

“A hidden treasure, excellent baked empanadas with a delicious and wide range of fillings. Nice wine and beer selection too. The atmosphere is relaxed and service excellent. Highly recommended and hope to see them prosper. Since the Kiwi shake and bake shut, I’ve felt a little lost.. hopefully we can watch rugby here too!“

“I love this place! Highly recommend you will NOT be disappointed.“

“The owner is kind and attentive to all customer satisfaction, the karaoke dj knows what he's doing, and does it fabulously, all the staff is warming fun and inviting and food and drinks are to DIE FOR! I absolutely 💯 love coming here since day 1 visit, I feel so welcomed! The stage, light and even FOG MACHINE set up for their karaoke nights is a true absolute must vist for the avid karaoke, as it's truly a one of a kind out of this world Rockstar experience!!!!!!“

“We enjoyed the small restaurant atmosphere where one can get to know the chefs (Mike, included). Food was excellent…have the Tempura green beans and then the Brutus Salad is excellent with chicken or salmon. The Atlantic salmon was grilled to perfection (medium with delicately medium seasoned saffron rice). Try the saffron infused Creme Brulet for dessert and enjoy live Jazz and after-dinner drinks at the Sidecar. However, make reservations if you want a table for dinner and after-dinner entertainment…take out available.“

“Muy buena la comida . Solo está muy frío el restaurante, es . Mi lugar favorito de desayuno 🍳 .“

“Everything on the menu! Service is always great and the food is spot on and consistent!“

“First time at Terri's Cafe. Food was great with general amounts, service was spot on and our waitress (Lyalka) was enjoyable.“

“I wanted to leave a FANTASTIC 5 Star review about this new updated restaurant called Nick's Italian Ristorante. My wife and I plus a couple of friends recently went back for the third time to enjoy their excellent food. When we first visited after Nick's took over from Flatbread I have to say I was extremely disappointed. But after a change of management ... WOW what a change. (By the way ...Nick's is owned by Barbacoa!) The food was absolutely outstanding ...some of the Best Italian food I have ever tasted especially the Meatballs and sauce ...simply the BEST! Many people are unaware of this fabulous Italian restaurant so I felt the need to shout it out to everyone. TRY NICK'S ... you won't be disappointed. Also ask for Frankie ...she is one of the Best waitresses I have ever experienced ..always a smile on her face, and offering caring service! Love to you all!“

“My 6, now 7 year old picked this place to celebrate his bday! Thank you Kaleigh for the amazing service!“

“Been four times in the past two months since discovering the place. Food is fantastic.... service is hit or miss. Just left after waiting five/six minutes without acknowledgement by any staff after being seated, watched others getting served almost immediately after being seated. Please work on this.“

“We tried Soup Kettle for the firsr time after the Nampa location opened and we are addicted. We got at least twice a week, we've had their breakfast croissants, other sandwiches, soup and milk teas. Everything has been delicious and the employees are always so sweet and helpful.“

“Lucky Fins Seafood Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently revisited Lucky Fins in Meridian. In the past, I’ve been to the original location, which is the one in Meridian, as well as the one in downtown Boise, which has since closed. There is also a location in Greeley, Colorado. We started with an appetizer of Kickin’ Shrimp ($15) - Crispy shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy honey-chipotle sauce, served with a side of ranch and a lime wedge. Similar to Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp, but uniquely its own, this isn’t excellent appetizer! If you like spicy shrimp, it’s worth visiting for this dish alone. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos ($15) - Tempura battered and fried Arctic cod with shredded cabbage, chipotle aïoli, pickled onions, cojita, and micro cilantro. Served with cilantro lime rice, lime wedges, and choice of salsa. The fish tacos were bland and flavorless. I didn’t realize until I started to write this review that they came with a choice of salsa, but I don’t think that would’ve made much of a difference. I liked the cilantro lime rice. MW ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon ($29) - Center cut, grilled Arctic salmon on Northwest Cedar plank, seasoned with Rocky Mountain meat and fish rub, loaded smashers, grilled asparagus, charred lemon. MW liked the salmon dish, but would opt for something a little more interesting next time. For dessert, we shared Bourbon Bread Pudding, which came topped with ice cream ($10). It was good. The ambience and service were excellent!“

“We went in for lunch today I ordered chicken fried steak and eggs,my husband had a Ruben sandwich his came to him raw and my chicken fried steak was very greasy and the gravy was very runny, we have been there before and it was OK, but this time it was horrible we told the server how my husband's sandwich was raw and showed it to her she never tried to fix it for us to make it right or offer to take at least a percentage off our bill, we won't be going back...!“

“Amazing food, great options, inviting, kind, and caring staff. 100% would recommend“

“We go there every. single. weekend.- it's that good. Everyone is super friendly! The service is consistently exceptional, no matter if it's Rickie, Andi, Emerson, or Natalie. They are all fabulous! ( I'm forgetting the name of the gal who just got married, but she's great too!). We love everything from the waffles, chicken fried steak, biscuits & gravy, sausages, and country potatoes. It's no wonder they are always busy, but somehow we never have to wait that long. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out!“

“Best Indian food in town!“

“We had a great meal and excellent service, thank you.“

“Fun, large restaurants with lots of seating. Lively atmosphere & the wait staff is great & fast service too! I ordered the Turkey Club & it was a huge portion & very tasty! Went back the next day & ordered the same thing!“

“its good“

“Food, service and setting was really great! The only reason why I give a 4 star was the music. The music sounded like we were in a rave and was pretty sensual. I will probably give another try but if the music is the same next time I will have to say this restaurant may not be for me. Even though the food was super yummy. 🤷‍♀️“

“Took my family out to dinner here, and it was AMAZING!!! Very delicious, and Antonio our server was very professional at what he does, and he made us feel really welcome. I'll surely come eat here again!! A+++++++ Food & service!“

“The service was absolutely amazing from the young gentleman who opened the door and greeted us to the gracious hostess who sat us, but I want to give a special shout out to our server Aidan D at the Eagle Rd location. Thank you She was fabulous. As always the food was over the top good. Yeah, that sounds awesome“

“We had a family dinner tonight celebrating 2 birthdays. It was very busy as usual but wanted to comment on our waitress Aliza. She was very attentive and gave great service even with a lot of large groups. This was especially deserving of recognition as she's is a new server. Thank you for taking care of us!“

“I can tell oriana cooked the food it was so good. 5 stars, 10/10 would do it again“

“Always look forward to our meals at Sawaddee. Food is amazing and consistent. The people are just as amazing and kind. 💯 recommend“

“Wonderful service, great food! We tried for the first time last week and were very pleased! The food was delicious, our server was very nice and took great care of us and even gave us a free dessert since it was our first visit. We will definitely go back again! Highly recommend!“

“The best! We had the sweet chili chicken and spring rolls.“

“We are visiting Utah from CT and stopped here for lunch yesterday. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Great atmosphere and attentive manager in the Riverdale location. Highly recommend!“

“Thank you to the most friendly, kind hearted crew at Marcos! We came in on a late Friday and had the best service form Cody and Trevor who were working hard ti keep us laughing and well fed! Thanks boys! Had the very best pizza that was served quickly and perfectly made!!!! I couldn’t be more happy with every part of out experience at your restaurant. Trust me I am not easily impressed but those two made our evening so much better! They made us feel like family! Thanks boys!!! ❤️ your favorite crazy football mom!!!-J“

“We were just expecting the ‘normal’ size pizza..but Johnny Bronx Pizza came in clutch, and said hold my beer. Delivery was fast. BEST pizza my family has had!“

“Ok 2nd time at Rudy's in Meridian and service both times was amazing, food was hot , fast and good and priced reasonably. Definitely worth trying...I personally love the Rueben, perfect mix of tart sauerkraut and thousand island dressing on marbled Rye, fries are crisp, Onion rings are perfectly cooked. Crispy wings are great.“

“My wife met a friend for lunch and told me how nice restaurant and how friendly Mei was. So, we came for dinner. We both had selections from the ‘Chinese Specials’. The food was good and the next time I added a side of Shimp! I think most would love this place!“

“Held my daughter’s bridal shower at the restaurant. They did a great job of setting up the room and allowed me to come in early to decorate for the shower. The food was fantastic and the staff were friendly and efficient in taking care of our group. Our family will definitely come back.“

“Favorite Pizza in the Valley“

“Atmosphere was excellent. I am hard of hearing and often cannot follow conversations in large dining rooms,not sure why, but I did not encounter that problem here.
The food eas excellent, served HOT and according to my particular needs.
I was the last to arrive to the group I was meeting and was served right along with the others, and we split the check which can be nightmarish for the servers, there were 8 of us, and it was handled with smiles.“

“What a great place. Wife and I shared giant toys with a great dip, crispy brussel sprouts with a tasty glaze and candied bacon crumbles, and Mac and cheese.
The Mac was lacking the punch of great Mac and cheese, but the other two were fantastic.
Will definitely come back and try some of their other great sounding options.
Oh and they had a great selection of beer and spirits.“

“Let me begin with a disclaimer: I have lived a full life. I have kissed mouths that were made of sin and stardust. I’ve tasted truffle risottos in overpriced restaurants where the waiter looked down on me for asking for more bread. But none—none—of those experiences compare to what happened between me and Chili’s Baby Back Ribs. First bite? Instant goosebumps. I closed my eyes and saw my ancestors nodding in approval. The meat is so tender it practically slides off the bone like it’s trying to seduce you. And the sauce—oh God, the sauce—is like a smoky, sweet whisper in your ear saying, “You’re never going back to dry chicken breasts again, baby.” I was knee deep in bbq sauce. Let’s address the elephant in the Chili’s dining room: Yes. The Office. Yes. “🎵 I want my baby-back, baby-back, baby-back…” was sung. Yes. I wept a little imagining Kevin Malone wiping his mouth and going back for more. This isn’t just a meme—it’s prophecy fulfilled. This wasn’t dinner. This was foreplay. This was therapy. This was my Roman Empire. If loving these ribs is wrong, I don’t want to be right. And if this is the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth (and trust me, the competition was stiff), then so be it. My mouth has spoken. And it speaks only the gospel of Chili’s. Amen. Pass the wet wipes.“

“Our company used the Meridian, Idaho location to cater breakfast to our office for over 160 people. All I can say is WOW. Everything was still hot and delicious. They were on time to the exact minute they said they would be here. We are very grateful and will certainly use them in the future. Shout out to Sarah and the Meridian Managers!! Thank you.“

“This place is amazing! Not only do they offer delicious food, their customer service goes above and beyond. When we had a miscommunication via the drive-thru yesterday, they insisted on replacing our meal despite my insistence of being at fault. They showed loving kindness that was greatly appreciated by my family, especially at this time of year. Thank you, Gyro Shack Linder! ❤️“

“So many sushi I havent tried before but all so good! I recommended a 1000th percent go here. And everyone was so nice“

“I got the chicken stripes and husband got a burger everything was really good and we sat outside 👍“

“I noticed they had a breakfast menu that looked good. I will try it next time.“

“I placed my order online. I was able to add my coupon code without any issues. I went to the store on my way home and my pizzas were ready after only 15 mins. Staff greeted me and assisted in locating my order. They were very friendly. And, the pizzas were great.“

“Great amazing atmosphere, Staff are friendly and inviting. And the margaritas are better than Las Vegas“

“The pizza and monkey bread is to die for...the management and staff are even more delicious! I absolutely love this place! �“

“Great service with a smile and they modified our order per our request. The margaritas were large and the chips and dip were great. We did not have to wait very long for our food and it was served hot. I highly recommend it.“

“Melissa took great care of my father and I. My dad loves hispanic cuisine, me not so much. My father had the Burrito Especial and I had their Cantina Burger, that is one of the best burgers I've had in years. Between the excellent service and outstanding food, I'd highly recommend a visit to one of Cafe' Ole's 2 locations.“

“Tonight was our first time at Izumi and we were celebrating our 25 year anniversary. Brad was our waiter/server and he was so helpful and friendly and Fernando was our cook and he was hilarious and so entertaining. The food was so tasty and there was so much of it! My boys were impressed with the sushi too. Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be back!“
