50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Villa Park

“The chili is good. Entered into a chili competition at work and really didnt feel like cooking. Purchased 4 quarts of chili and told my co-workers how I slaved over making this chili, putting just the right spices in to give it its unique taste. Everyone loved it! I lost 1st place by two points, probably because the judge can't add, but whatever. And yes, those are hotdogs in the picture. We made chili dogs. Their cream of chicken soup is good too.“

“Love love this place. Their beers are phenomenal especially the milkshake ones“

“I can’t even express in words how amazing the service the food the drinks the sauces are. I came in randomly and let me tell you I would bathe in the avocado hot sauce, while sipping the sex on the beach! The cilantro was perfectly chopped and the homemade tortillas, mouth watering. Run don’t walk!“

“Had an awesome experience here and definitely coming back.

Everything is fresh and cooked to order, which you can really taste. The chicken came out hot, juicy, and perfectly grilled with that nice char flavor you want from peri-peri. Nothing felt pre-made or sitting around — they clearly make it when you order.

The service was fast and super friendly too. Staff was welcoming, helpful with recommendations, and kept things moving quickly even during busy time.

The real stars though are the sauces:
• 🌶️ Medium spicy peri-peri sauce – perfect heat level with tons of flavor
• 🧄 Garlic sauce – creamy, rich, and absolutely addictive

Get both on the side — trust me, you’ll want extra for dipping everything.

Overall: great food, quick service, and amazing flavor. Highly recommend if you’re craving fresh, flavorful grilled chicken done right.“

“I go here before work and get concha’s and champurrado. My coworkers and I also love their tamales. Recently I accidentally left my wallet there and the good people who work there kept it safe with all my belongings and cash in place. A good business with great people behind the counter.“

“Kailey was a great server! She made the first time experience even better. My family of 3 loved this restaurant. The lunch food was delicious. Dessert even better. My 10 year old son who doesn't ever eat much when we go out, happily stuffed his face. It was a great day!“

“Very please with the service we received. We were sat at a hidden table not much attention but nick our server was very friendly and excellent service from much appreciated“

“Always delicious! There’s something for everyone in my vegan family on the menu.“

“This place is unreal -- especially for someone gluten free. I went in knowing zero about Burmese cuisine, but was walked through a series of dishes that have become instant classics that I crave: tofu gyaw, the tea salad, kyarzan thoke, chicken mango, and the goat curry. Do not sleep on this place! The food is fresh and meticulously prepared. The flavors are incredible and the portions filling. The staff are warm and engaging. 10/10 across the board.“

“I picked up food tonight and was fabulous to say the least. Also,.while I waited the staff was friendly and hospitable.“

“If you’re looking for authentic ramen and exceptional service, Chicago Ramen is the place! Ty and his staff go above and beyond to make every guest feel special. The Tsukemen was unbelievably good — rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. I can’t wait to come back and try more items. Thank you, Ty, for making this such a great neighborhood gem!“

“Wonderful, classy yet casual experience! Delicious!!!“

“Had an amazing lunch!!! Food selection is amazing. I wound up with the Tuna Poke Bowl and it didn’t disappoint. Our waitstaff was attentive to detail. I am not a big dessert person when I go out, but the Key Lime Pie was calling our names. SOOOOO good!!! Thank you for a great meal. We will be back very soon.“

“I got the StrawBeet smoothie and the asparagus soup and both were absolutely delicious!!! I love that their ingredients are organic and that they have vegan options as well!“

“I tried Vasco’s Peri Peri for lunch and was blown away by the Two Tenders Rice Bowl. Tons of flavor, generous portions, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It’s hard to beat a fresh, hot meal like this for under $11. Perfect quick lunch option Monday through Friday!“

“Limited menu but they change on the seasons. I like that you can add a lobster tail. They vary in how good they are. The waiter was no where to be seen in between him getting our order. Had to ask others for help. I had the pork chop and you’d think you’d get potato and veggie. No. The sauce was terribly sweet so I was so glad I got it on the side. Worst old fashioned I’d ever had. The desserts are cute.“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“My sister Shelly Nagy purchased tickets to a Sunday afternoon drag brunch to celebrate my birthday! Marco not only held the door open for his guests, but he was also very kind and generous! He offered 2nd helpings (my only regret is that I did not indulge on that offer). Our meal was plentiful, delicious and presented beautifully! The bartenders cocktails (garnished w/ fresh flowers!) are pure elegance and his customer service skills are excellent! The drag show was a blast! The music was a hit (inside and out) and the upscale atmosphere will always have me anxiously waiting to come back soon! Thank you Marcos & Shelly for the most wonderful birthday celebration anyone will ever dream of! Gorgeous Downtown LaGrange is lucky to have Marco’s Kitchen! Take me back already!“

“We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding reception at Francesca’s Amici Elmhurst. The event coordinator, Nancy, was hands down the best. She is well experienced and has a true talent. Our group of nearly 80 people were very comfortable in the private room. There was plenty of room for our guests to enjoy a standing cocktail hour followed with a sit down dinner. The food was even better the evening of, kudos to the kitchen. And they did any excellent job making sure they were well staffed for the event. The staff was EXCELLENT, attentive and helpful. Thank you again!“

“Food and service fantastic. They were running behind with reservations but they comped us drinks an an appetizer...which is pretty unheard of these days. Rachel, our server, was phenomenal, I liked her so much I even asked her to help me "customize" my pasta dish, which she happily did (and it turned out great! The lobster diavolo but with vodka sauce...keeping the spice level.) Caesar salad good but not traditional...and missing anchovies (I know, I'm weird. Very fresh ingredients though.) We were a party of 6 and everyone loved their food. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely be back! Only wish it weren't so cramped inside.“

“delicious vegan options!!“

“Great service, fantastic food, and I had a great time with my cousin there. The server was so helpful in explaining their combos and allowing us all the food combinations we wanted in a simplified manner. The boba smoothie was Devine too!“

“After a week of travel for this Mom, the last thing I wanted to do was to make dinner. This isn't the first time we've been to Glen Prairie and I knew it was just the place I wanted to go. The atmosphere is warm, but quiet. Perfect for a good family catchup. The food is comforting without being too heavy and the wine, beer and cocktail selection is the perfect pairing. We've had the pleasure of being served by Anna a few times now and she does a great job. She is attentive and watchful, without being overbearing which is a difficult skill to master for a lot of servers. Aside from that, I love that it is a safe place for folks with food allergies and I feel very well taken care of in respect to that issue. I can tell that everyone from the hosts to the servers to the bartenders to the kitchen staff are very well trained in creating a safe and welcoming experience for each guest. Glen Prairie is quickly becoming one of our go to family favorite restaurants and we will definitely be back!“

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“todo excelente😍 La comida, la decoracion y el servicio.“

“La mejor comida de todo lombard 🙂✌️“

“Came with a party of 8, and every one of us were satisfied and happy with what we ordered. Our Server was awesome, and the desserts oh my. Will definitely be making our way back from the southwest burbs“

“The food is always delicious, and the drinks are fun. I could hang out on the patio for hours. Emilio comes out to make sure everyone is happy. Just a very special place.“

“I’ve been to Greece four different times, and I can tell you right now — Greek Islands gets as close to authentic Greek food as you can possibly get without boarding a flight to Athens.

The food was simply amazing. The chicken kebabs were perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled exactly the way they do it overseas. And the Mediterranean chicken with rice Wow. Full of flavor, tender, and seasoned in a way that instantly brings you back to a seaside taverna. Every bite tasted fresh no shortcuts here.

The calamari was so fresh, I could’ve sworn Poseidon brought the octopus in himself. Lightly breaded, perfectly fried, and incredibly tender — not rubbery at all. That’s how you know it’s the real deal.

The restaurant was super busy, and honestly, I could tell why. When a place is packed like that, it usually means one thing: they’re doing something right. The aesthetics of the restaurant are super cool too — it has that vibrant, warm Greek vibe that makes the whole experience feel authentic and lively.

If you’re craving real Greek food and want something that truly reminds you of the islands, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be back. 🇬🇷“

“Food and service are very good. Atmosphere is basic. Restaurant is in an old building and not fancy or trendy. Good for families. Go for the pizza. There is a lot of parking but still hard to find a spot as this location is very busy. Need to make reservations on the weekend if you want to eat in.“

“Had the best server tonight! Great service and personality. Thanks so much Paige!“

“This place is amazing!!! The food is breath taking and the staff are very nice! I’m definitely coming back.“

“The food is amazing and Berhane and her staff are kind and friendly. The kitfo with the homemade cheese is incredibly delicious. I try to get there whenever I get to Chicagoland. Thank you for the spice recommendations. Ethiopian Korerima is the best. I’m“

“We held our daughter's engagement party at Neat on Saturday night - and we were so very pleased. The staff was absolutely amazing, the room was beautiful and the food was delicious! I can’t thank their team enough!!“

“So good. Delicious, tasty and all kinds of yummy. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice and generous. I highly recommend this place. We come to the area once a year from Canada and I think we’ll have to make this an annual dinner.“

“Ellyns has awesome food and a very friendly environment. Never had something I didn’t like, and can always find something new on the menu. Great drink menu and specials. Ellyns will always be a go to!“

“Choice of veggie hotdog or black bean burger, with lots of veggie toppings. Nice to have a traditional yet vegan Chicago dog. The fries were undercooked.  Nice to have a traditional yet vegan Chicago dog. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-02“

“The food was delicious! The drinks are fresh and new, and very well balanced. The best part of our experience was the staff! Each member was knowledgeable of the drink and dinner menu and made incredible recommendations. Overall, a wonderful evening out.“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“Recently celebrated a 70th birthday with the D'Alexander family. What a great event. The staff could not have been nicer, and attentive. You only thought you might need something at the table and it would appear out of no where. The food was all home made and you could tell made from traditional old recipes and a lot of love thrown in. You feel like you are in a small cafe in Italy. If you want a great Italian dining experience please take the time to enjoy Made In Italy, because my wife and I plan to go back.“

“This is one of our favorite spots. Beautiful atmosphere. Food is always cooked to perfection. Our server Roger was attentive, friendly and efficient. Steaks, salmon, shrimp, crab all fresh and delicious. Appreciate manager Blake stopping by to ensure our evening was up to par. Already looking forward to our next visit. It's also a great idea to stop at the bar for after dinner drinks. Chris made everything we ordered perfect!“

“Love the drinks & food! Very cozy & classic!“

“Always a dining experience for my tastebuds. The service, the food, the ambience. You couldn’t ask for more. The sushi rice is, hands down, the best we’ve ever had. Questions answered, recommendations given, new adventures with unknown cuisine. This is our go to for the authentic taste of Japan.“

“Came her for a business dinner from a friend’s recommendation and let me tell you, the food was delicious!

We were here for about two hours and tried many items the server recommended. Everything was delicious, but the best was the Tangri Kebab (chicken). The most flavorful chicken appetizer I’ve ever had at an Indian restaurant!

They also offer catering so I hope to order from here in the future. Can’t wait to come back to dine in!“

“Great venue and room for our wedding shower. Staff was on point and food was excellent!“

“First time at Lola’s, first off holy cow they were busy however the staff did an amazing job! The service was on point taking into consideration that they were slammed the whole time we were there. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a good dining experience.“

“This is one of the best family-run restaurants in Des Plaines. Sunrise Grill has been serving the community for 18 years, and you can taste the experience in every dish. Chef Jose cooks with passion, and Sylvia’s hospitality is unmatched. Ask the staff for their recommendations—they’ve never steered me wrong!“

“We love the healthy food and the amazing owner.“

“Esta muy limpio, el servicio muy rapido y la comida muy buena, la presentation tambien muy bien y los precios muy accecibles“
