50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near West Peoria

“Walked in and immediately smelled smoke, not the good kind. It smelled like an ashtray. We ordered fried green tomatoes and they were pretty decent. Then came the 3 meat platter, We had the chicken, pork and brisket. All the meats were pretty dry and had 0 smoke flavor. It reminded me of that store stuff you microwave. Pork was mid. The brisket was off tasting, more like pot roast. The chicken was the worst, no flavor at all and very dry. The baked beans and mashed potatoes were good. Don't know if it was a bad night or what but probly won't be back.“

“The food is easily a 10 out of 10. The service is exemplary, friendly and personal. I love eating there.

Old review:

I don't even know where to start... This review is mostly about their delivery partner.

I just moved to Peoria, and yesterday, after 8 hours of lugging heavy boxes and furniture up 2 flights of stairs into our apartment, we decided to treat ourselves with a local pizza place.

So I called for delivery because we're sweaty and exhausted, and the employee tells me they only deliver through Doordash.

Crap. I hate Doordash. Nine times out of ten, there's an issue with the delivery. I picked a pizza place, because they usually hire their own drivers.

But we're too tired to find somewhere else to order, so I bite the bullet.

My Doordash order gets here, and of course, there's a whole pizza missing from the order. Typical Doordash. I called the restaurant and he confirmed that the pizza was still sitting there. He offered to call Doordash for a re-delivery, and I said sure, thank you.

Well, 7 phone calls back and forth with Doordash customer service, they told me 1) They'd re-deliver, 2) Oops, they couldn't reach the driver 3) Do you want a refund? 4) Oops, we can't process a refund 5) I'll ask my supervisor for a re-delivery again 6) This time I had to call, and they told me they had to "escalate the issue" 7) It is now the next day, and they tell me they have to "escalate it" again to a different team.

So now it's the next day and I'm still without my refund and without my pizza.

2 stars for the food, because what we did receive was very tasty, but after the day we had and the added stress from Doordash, I don't know if we'll ever order here again. Maybe we'll try a carryout order, but between us working crazy First Responder hours, I don't know if we'll have the time.

So, yeah, very tired, very disappointed...“

“We have ordered some vegetarian food (Veggi Noodles and Fried Rice) and non-vegetarian food (Chicken seekh kabab, Chicken tikka tandoori). The items were outstanding, there was no food left within an hour or so. We have even ordered appetizers (chilli paneer and cutlet). We are planning to try Goat fry briyani next time we visit. Overall we did like the food and will be visiting more often.“

“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!“

“Absolutely, fantastic! From the drinks, to the food, and service. Alexis, at the bar, took extremely good care of my husband, son, and I. She was personable and on top of everything even when she was being pulled in every direction. I am so glad we stumbled upon Rizzi’s.“

“Of all the places I have eaten, this place is by far my favorite.Beautiful relaxing environment and the service and food was exceptionally prepared and presented. Very health conscious, fresh and delicious. I will most definitely return every chance I get.“

“Great food, consistently terrible service.“

“Best tenderloin and fries I have ever had! Very fast and friendly service.“

“I am amazed by how well the atmosphere and the food and the drinks in the service are“

“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!!!! 😍💯❤️“

“Experience the shrimp and grits are great!“

“The best in Peoria!! I’ve never had anything that I didn’t like and the atmosphere is AMAZING!“

“Made reservations for 10 people. They were very accommodating. Food was wonderful and prices were not outrageous. All the staff went above and beyond taking care of all of us. Thank you!“

“Excellent first time going to this place. Will be back and highly recommend it:) service and food were amazing“

“Great food and friendly service“

“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!!“

“Everything, the last 5 times our order was wrong or something was forgotten when call and ask get attitude, been going for years that's why so many chances but after almost $50 for chicken and spaghetti that says $32 on their menu online I think it's time to be done.... horrible horrible customer service“

“service was amazing! our waitress was Ella. super nice, very helpful, stopped n checked on us frequently! food was amazing! so many drinks to choose from! just a little pricey (from what I'm use to. I don't go out to restaurants very often either tho.) will DEFINITELY be going 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.“

“omg so amazing ! pizza and pasta was so good! New favorite place.“

“Many of us locals have been supporting this business for a long time now and I believe the appreciation by the owner/s shows that with the low prices and superior food selection and quality all the way around. I especially like the vast variety of food choices and the hand dip ice cream station instead of the usual soft-serve that most places have. They were really thinking out of the box. Today I took my friend, Darryl out to eat at this Chinese buffet. He had never eaten such food and I figured it was time for him to escape from his comfort zone. He was very impressed and sure didn't step away from the table hungry. By the way the cherry on the cake was that they serve Mountain Dew. That is a must for Darryl wherever he dines. I had hot tea. Get on out and see for yourselves and spread the word.“
