50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Peoria

“Had my first experience today with a friend for lunch. This was the best lunch I have had in the past 3 years. Wish I lived closer would be a regular at this lovely and friendly restaurant. You are going to be a great success.“

“Rhythm Kitchen has always been a staple in downtown Peoria for a couple of reasons…excellent food and awesome atmosphere. It’s cool that they just keep getting better and better. A group of us went there last night for dinner and it was absolutely outstanding! Service is always so friendly and you simply cannot replicate the Rhythm Kitchen vibe anywhere. The gumbo ya ya is an absolute must have, jerk chicken is crazy good and the meatloaf is classically delish. Even their grilled cheese is fantastic! And if you even think about leaving before dessert, you’re out of your mind. We were trying to be polite and share among the group, but there was a “survival of the fittest” mentality bubbling up at the table and let’s just say we were lucky to leave as friends. Few places leave you with the need to go back the very next day, but I gotta say, I need to go back…like now.“

“great food super friendly staff and fast service and great price“

“had a birthday lunch with about 15 close friends. my sister had ordered creme brulee for everyone for a dessert. very nice“

“Husband and I absolutely LOVED our experience here. The food was amazing and loved all the flavor we've experienced. The service was outstanding on EVERY level. The family warmed my heart with happiness 😊❤️. We absolutely loved the Baklava too! What a beautiful experience this was. We're surely to return! Thank you KABAB G !!!!“

“Very personable and I loved the real cheese Pizza! 🍕 One of the best Pizzas I've had in a very long time. Thank you for the great experience!“

“We went for our first time on Wednesday, and had an awesome experience! I don't remember her name, but we were served by your amazing bartender. She went above and beyond, recommending food, drinks, and obviously enjoyed her job. The food was very good, but she made our date night special, and we'll be back to sit at her bar next time 💚“

“The food is easily a 10 out of 10. The service is exemplary, friendly and personal. I love eating there. The only con is the price of a Caesar salad, on our last visit my wife and I each got a Caesar salad to start our meal and the two salads alone was $25.00, everything else was inline with the service and atmosphere which is the best.“

“The wife and I stopped here for Sunday Date Day for the first time. Great experience and great food! I eat a 90% meat diet and they were more than happy to switch it up, add another meat option (for upcharge of course) and keep the pita/rice and hummus. :) The food was great!.. I got the 3 Shish combination plate (1 of each) and it was very flavorful and cooked well. Nice crisp on the lamb shish and the other meats were spiced different enough to tell them apart. The seasoning on the chicken reminded me of growing up and having souvlaki at Festival in Grand Rapids, MI. Wife had the lamb shank special and really enjoyed it. I tried a bite of the shank and it was amazing. VERY tender...a perfectly braised shank! Sauces were good. Green had a little heat and was very jalapeno forward, the red had more of a Buffalo Wing vibe (maybe a mix of harissa?) and the tzatziki was very fresh... looser than I am used to but it was nice. :) Although I didn't have the pitas like the wife did, they are Illinois made in Skokie at Libanais, always a plus. Being 2 miles from home, we are sure to swing in again. Heck, it might be a common change from our normal Jimmy Johns lunch. :)“

“excellent food. been there many times.“

“This is one of my favorite, clean restaurants in Peoria. great gluten-free options, high quality ingredients and friendly service. breakfast lunch and meal service. It's a gem!“

“Just moved to the Peoria area and originally from
Chicago suburbs. Out of all the pizza places I’ve tried around here this is the BEST pizza by far! The boneless wings are top tear with a side of their homemade ranch dressing that is absolutely mouth watering! I will definitely be coming back! The gentleman that was working was so sweet too and very personable!“

“I've been here a few times after work. When it's busy, it's loud enough that I personally struggle to hear others. I'm not a huge beer fan but can typically find something on tap that I like. Food has consistently been good. Service has varied based on how busy they are, but it's never been bad enough to not want to come back. Overall I've enjoyed my visits and would happily go back, especially if the Upside Brown is in stock“

“I've been going here for a few years now and everytime I go its just as amazing as the first time! the chorizo burrito is by far my favorite thing on the menu ive had, absolutely fantastic flavor and well worth the 13$ ! I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for great food“

“This is our second year in a row coming here when in town for an event. Best service from their amazing server/bartender Robin. Highly recommend this place!!! Worth the trip.“

“Today we drove from Bloomington, Illinois to your restaurant to check it out. It was well worth the drive. We really enjoyed our meals and the colorful ambiance. We are picky about our Mexican food, having lived in the Chicago area for most of our lives and with great Mexican cooks in the family. The food and great and the staff very friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“Tacos done right!! Need I say more? I am from Roanoke and will drive here for the best tacos around!!!“

“I ordered the pork chop there. A very dry and choky one with nice seasoning. Later spoke with manager there. Lied to me they were not frozen and they were fresh. I'm from the Philippines where they are fresh and not frozen. World of difference.“

“since Perkins is closed this is the place to go they have been busier since then it seems like! I know they're going to get a lot of their business though I have a feeling!“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had! I get halibut every time I see it on the menu and this was hands down the best halibut. Lily, our waitress was super nice and friendly. Everyone at our table was very happy with the service and our food.“

“We have eaten in or we have preordered for carry out at least 2-3 times a month. Never had a bad pizza since they opened about 8 years ago(2015) at Peoria North location. The Pizza is always HOT! You pick up your pizza from the bar, and if you get there and your pizza is not ready from a call in, they offer you a drink from the bar as a complementary, wait. 5 stars any way you ask!!“

“Fast, friendly service and the food was great!“

“As a person that grew up on this type of food. this is the most authentic and most savory food in the area. the rice is very good and when u get the mixed grill, the kebabs melt in ur mouth delicious. the falafel is the most on point in the area of peoria. even the sald is soooo good!!!!! the kebbah is seriously the best I've ever had. the shawarma is so good it just makes u wanna come back for more. I would 100% recommend this place for the best mediterranean food. better than khourys and kebab g. compliments to the chef!!!! 😍💯❤️“

“I have eaten here twice now and the food is fabulous. The service is great and your food comes out fast even when busy. The manager is really friendly and makes you feel welcome. Prices are very reasonable. I tried the cherry crepes kijafa today and I would highly recommend them. I highly recommend this restaurant as well!“

“Wonderful food!“

“Been going here for years with my grandparents and now I bring my children. We have enjoyed it every time. The portions are generous and it’s always quick.“

“The Chicken Philly Supreme is phenomenal — I’ll be daydreaming about that sandwich for days. The cheese fries were decent, but the real star was definitely that sandwich. Prices were reasonable, too. My only critique is the store’s appearance; the front glass doors were very smudged with fingerprints, which gave a bit of an off first impression. A little attention to cleanliness at the entrance would go a long way.“

“Great food! I got the Sheimp Mein Fun. It is delicious. Not too greasy and with large stir fry vegetables— crisp, not over cooked. Incredible service. I ordered and had my food with 5 minutes or so. They were busy with carry out orders… but still incredibly fast. The owners was very kind and the food hits the spot.“

“Very friendly staff and the food is excellent! highly recommend!“

“the food was great, My husband had the beef big burger and I had the smoked sausage po'boy. We shared gator bites for the appetizer. the service was great. Definitely would go back.“

“everything. you can even get carryout by the pound. one of the hosts said alhamdulillah to me on the way out. For a Muslim to openly give that blessing and to a non Muslim is testament to his love for humanity, respect, and compassion for all humans. Alhamdulillah to you to Sir and your restaurant.“

“Great food, and drinks. With a polite curious staff.“

“Amazing place. Great food, great service.“

“My party of 6 came in on a recent Sunday, now that they are open. We have been hoping a place like Donnelly's would open on Sundays. Their menu is shortened, but still has several of their all time favorites. We had wings, scallion dip, cheese curds, Waterford chicken, smashed burger, and a buffalo chicken sandwich. Everything was great!! We had great food, cold beer, and watched some football. What else can you ask for!! Everyone should come here for a fun Sunday-funday!!!“
