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.“

“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.“

“We went last Saturday for the first time and there weren't any tables available, but it was a short 10 minute wait. Figured it must be good if we had to wait for a table. It wasn't just good, it was phenomenal!!!! My son and I both had breakfast entrees and my niece had a turkey sandwich. Absolutely wonderful experience. Our server and her daughter both work there and both were friendly and amazing. It's a bit of a drive for us, but it will be on our list the next time we're in town.“

“Wonderful food!“

“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.“

“Update:

Mark the owner called me and was amazing. He offered to absolutely make up for everything even though it was Doordash's fault. This restaurant has wonderful customer service and will definitely have our business from here on out. Thank you Mark, and thank you to your lovely wife as well.

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...“

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

“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!“

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

“Great food and friendly service“

“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!!!! 😍💯❤️“

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

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

“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 a wonderful place“

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

“Upon entering...it is like stepping back through time in all the best ways...the interior reminded me of a cross between the old world stylish speakeasys of the 20's combined with the elegance of the titanic.... The staff was attentive and friendly without being obtrusive...our glasses were never empty and the food was simply perfection....Thank You Jim's for an incredible evening...Best food and atmosphere in the State of Ilinois...we also went to the one in Bloomington...but this one was better.“

“O my goodness I won 2-10 in gluten free crusts pizzas on a Facebook post. Thank you thank you! My sister and I whom I tagged to win in the post, went for lunch on Halloween and had 2 amazing pizzas!! And amazing cold beers with many choices of beer. The barbecue chicken and one with homemade sausage were both so delicious and the gf crust was amazing! The waiter was such a friendly, happy chap that we so enjoyed visiting with. My first visit and I’ll definitely return. Thank you thank you!!“

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

“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“

“Great Harvest has yummy baked goods and delicious sandwiches for lunch! I highly recommend all of their locations! Excellent small business which has been around for many years!“

“was busy on a sunday afternoon but we wanted sit at the bar so go seated right away. display of liquors is very cool and keeps ya busy lookn! Had the tuscan omelet. It was delicious, the goat cheese and roasted tomatoes were melt in your mouth together! Had a flight of beer and they were all delicious. service was great even though they were busy!“

“the food is always fresh, hot, and so good. the ribs and chicken are really good and the fried shrimp. Great buffet and always clean“
