50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Northfield

“A decently inexpensive place to go if you're craving some breakfast! The menu is pretty delectable overall, save for a few misses. I wouldn't recommend diverging from the classic's here. The service is quick and attentive, leaving no real room for complaint. Finally, for atmosphere, this establishment perfectly embodies the feelings of a small town diner. Decorative walls, booths all around, and a cozy place to be“

“Fun atmosphere & bar! Great food. Lots of tv’s…“

“Great food. Easy parking & place in clean. The staff is friendly.“

“Over 20 years ago I started eating at their original Lincoln Park location. Today, their delicious food keeps me coming back time after time. It helps that the restaurant is staffed by the nicest people in the world. When I call for pickup they know my order (lad nar with chicken and Japanese gyoza) and they have it ready in ten minutes. Ten minutes!“

“Excelent service amazing 🤩 place“

“Wonderful restaurant. Food was excellent very close to what I had in Rome. Staff very friendly and made our dining very enjoyable! Go here!!“

“I love this place, they have the best pitas in the city. Hands down. They’ve gone through I think 3 chefs in recent years as our waiter was explaining. But we both had the steak Laffa sand which and fries. 10/10 from both of us. It’s a sandwich I could eat daily. Tbh I feel like they gave too many fries, but they’re still really good, and the mango curry sauce mayo thing they give is unique, punchy and bright. We thought it was a curry mustard but it’s actually a mayo (I think).

We also learned you can buy the pita in bulk which is a game changer.“

“Very tasty sundubu, delicious sides, and good service.“

“Went here last week. Amazing salad bar. Delicious dessert. Had the cake de tres leches. The service is second to none.“

“I've been to the Lazy Dog a few times now and the food has been very good. The drinks quite good as well. In fact, has the Tequila Old fashioned tonight ad it was was amazing, truly one of the best. Maddy was our server this evening and she was was exceptional. Super attentive, friendly, and knew all the items very well, Maddy was great!!“

“Would you like to be welcomed with refreshing cafe drinks and cocktails? Offered the choice to sit outdoors in the bustle of local business on a warm breezy evening? How about a menu of vegetarian and vegan dishes that consistently “bats 1000”? You can't pick something that isn't thoughtfully crafted to be wonderful. Everything here is excellent, including the service and they've been at it for decades. Blind Faith in Evanston. Just go.“

“My favorite lunch spot in the city. No comparison! I dream about the lentil soup, IYKYK. Falafel is perfect, shawarma with the toum is outstanding. Bring cash, don’t expect a seat because it gets busy and enjoy! It doesn’t get better than this.“

“Good food , good gem and good friends…..?“

“good food and good service“

“The food is delicious and service was excellent“

“Love Love this place!!!! Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive!!“

“The flavors were great in general. However, the salsa was essentially tomato sauce and a big disappointment. The guacamole needed some garlic or green onion or salt. The only other problem was the salad had very little (if any) dressing. The tacos and the special quesadillas were great. Service was good. Overall, good enough that we will be back.“

“The food, drinks, service and recommendations were excellent. We were celebrating a birthday, and everything from the Oaxacan tlayuda to the Cornish hen with mole and the margaritas made with mezcal from the owners’ hometown in Oaxaca made for a great meal.“

“They have a great selection of beers, and many of them are sour beers which is not easy to find in a lot of places. The food I had was simply delicious. I will definitely come back and suggest anyone who wants to have a good beer with better than regular brewery food try this place!“

“I love this place I've been coming here since I was 17. I raised my sons here as I am 45 and still come here. fantastic.“

“My wife and I stopped into this place on a whim today while in Evanston. We weren't sure what to get, but our server was so helpful in asking what kinds of things we liked and recommending some options he thought we might enjoy. My wife ended up getting the avocado toast (she loved it), and on Trevor's recommendation I tried the Shakshuka. Wow, what flavors! Thanks Trevor for nudging me outside my comfort zone to find my new favorite!! We will definitely be back!“

“SBK is everything… the pastries and cookies are so delicious, always a decadent treat. The savory sandwiches, so flavorful with house made sauces in the mix. Weekends start off right with an SBK pizza on a Friday night. I’ve been coming here for years. During Covid, SBK became my local grocery store. One of my favorite establishments in Chicago, I will always be a fan.“

“I travel to the area for work and always love coming here! ♥️♥️“

“We had a fabulous dinner last night at Chicago Kalbi with Cummins Peru, Komat'su, and the VPs from Antimina copper mine.

Such a great place, where you cook the wagyu & kobe beef at your table. The food was delicious ?

Isao Tozuka, the chef and his wife Chiyo-san, are fabulous hosts, very friendly, and really happy to help and show you how things are do e.

I would definitely recommend coming here. It's a unique place. Make sure you book though ad it can be busy.“

“Great food, family friendly!“

“the best vegan restaurant on the north side!“

“I’ve written several reviews about this restaurant because I just can’t say enough. Best Mexican food, excellent service. Cute, intimate setting you must try for yourself. BYOB. I’ve gone on record to say that I had the best steak I have ever had, with their skirt steak in their Tampiquena dish.“

“I absolutely love Lawrence Fish Market! I’ve ordered from them many times and they never disappoint. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, with amazing flavor and great quality. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable—especially considering how much food you get. It’s perfect for takeout, and everything is always beautifully packed and ready to enjoy. I highly recommend this place to any sushi lover. Definitely one of my favorite spots!“

“Delicious food & great menu. The service is top notch! The Italian beef is a favorite of mine when visiting from Cincinnati. 🙂“

“Shavaonne is one of the sweetest and nicest servers I have come across“

“Wow. Get the ham and crab jian bing. It is outstanding. All the textures in one bite. Tender, crunchy, chewy, warm. Total mouthful. The veg is fresh, not droopy. It's made to order and ready fast. If you have to eat and go, they even give you a disposable glove. Fantastic.“

“Fantastic Service and Delicious Sushi!

I had an amazing experience at this sushi restaurant! The waitresses were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Their warm hospitality truly enhanced our dining experience.

The food was outstanding—the soup was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, making for a perfect start to the meal. I also tried the avocado roll, which was exceptionally fresh and of the highest quality. The avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy, complementing the sushi beautifully.

Overall, this restaurant delivers both excellent service and top-notch sushi. I will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!“

“New to the neighborhood, I was excited to try this place, and MAN OH MAN. It was so good. Classic comfort with a delicious twist. We got the Tahini Ranch Fried Chicken Sandwich, the Kefta Burger, and the Stuffed Falafel; not a dud in the bunch. The toppings and condiments that some on the burger and sandwich made basic diner food such a delight without feeling over the top. The real stand out was the stuffed falafel. I never thought of having a filling in a falafel, and the sweetness of the caramelized onions was such a delicious complexity to a classic Middle Eastern dish. Now I want to eat through the whole menu to find my favorites.“

“I had to order quite a bit of  food for a lunch for my family and I before we were supposed to be going to a wedding. We stayed at a hotel nearby and knew that we would not eat dinner until much later and needed something to hold us over. This place was the perfect option.
Not only was I able to get the prices over the phone, the people who work here texted me pictures of food, sent prices and confirmed sizes with me and gave recommendations about how much to get for how many people, including telling me how long before I needed to order to make sure I got my order ready in time for pick up since I was ordering in advance.
The Afghani palaou was fantastic, as was the garlic and spicy green sauce.
I especially loved the mix kabobs and I wish they had this option at all afghan/ pakistani places. The option to get a mix tray of kabobs with the pieces cut up would be a game changer for parties!
I ordered a small tray of salad thinking not many people would like it (but I like salad so I figured I would have leftovers for later), but to my surprise that was gobbled up quick! Everyone loved it. I'm a fan of this place and plan on dining in when I come next!“

“Amazing dine-in pizza spot. Unique pizzas by the slice means everyone can try something different. Their pulled pork pizza is the best slice I've ever eaten, bar none. Cheese curds are delicious too!“

“this place was great the service and the food 👌“

“best service! And delicious chocolate pie!“

“Great dinner, service and atmosphere!“

“OH! Are you in for a TREAT when you dine here. The food is sensational. We have traveled all of the world and lived all over the United States. The cuisine here is unique and out of this world. The recipes are unique to this restaurant. We have eaten at other Ethiopian restaurants. They do not even register next to this one. The Proprietor is SOOOOO nice. And, ask him what brought him to the United States. It's an emotionally moving story. If you haven't had Ethiopian cuisine before, it is NOT scary. There are hardy vegetarian and meatatarian dishes. So, there's something for everyone. And, the dishes that are spicy are mild. So, don't worry about your sensitive belly. The meal is a SHARED experience. So, make sure you bring friends. They will thank you afterwards for sure☺“

“The food, atmosphere, and the staff were amazing! We celebrated my nephews birthday there and I can't wait to go back and bring some friends!“

“First time in 10 years since I haven’t had Dennys in general. As my return. Good customer service, staff are pleasant, The Triple Burger is delicious. Highland Park is very safe and I will be coming back!“

“I enjoyed it very much. Would have loved more options to be included without having to pay extra for everything but overall the food was delicious. I’m fulfilled. I actually stumbled upon this place, I was headed to another seafood place but it was too far, looked up near me and here this was. Came with complementary ice cream.“

“Great food and love the booth“

“LOVE Smack Dab!! I live in RP and walking to Smack Dab always makes my day. The coffee is amazing. The vibes are so cute and so are the folks that work there. Recommend 100/10.“

“excellent food and service! great vegetarian and vegan selection as well“

“Best pancakes in the world!“

“An intimate space, but the entrées and desserts were excellent and the service was pleasant and efficient. A modest, but reasonable wine list.“

“Excellent food with the perfect spice level of my Penang curry. Food was fresh, attractive and delicious! Excellent service - our server even let us try a bit of Thai coffee- as neither of us had ever had it. I don’t ever drink coffee and typically don’t like it, but if I were to pick up that habit, I’d drink that stuff for sure-lol! Anna the owner checked in on us and was very attentive to all the guests. I highly recommend this place- and it’s byob!“

“Best Carne Asada in the Midwest!because it’s al carbon! My family has been coming here since before I was born 🫶🏼“
