50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Griffith

“I rate on a planetwide scale, and don't give out 5 stars lightly. Maybe it's really a 4.5, but for northern Indiana it's about 7 stars. This place is just delightful. Yummy and creative sandwiches, salads, and breakfast things with amusing descriptions. I had the grilled cheese with saurkraut and bourbon-carmelized onions. Small but good selection of pastries. About 20 varieties of loose leaf teas. They do their own chai and miraculously it's not oversweetened. Could use more cardamom, but that's a personal preference. Friendly, cheerful, funny staff. I was there around dinnertime on a cold February Wednesday and of the dozen tables only three were occupied. Plus a couch on which a couple of geeky teenagers were talking and flirting quietly. Several power outlets. Decor that day was a mixture of Valentine's cards (maybe seasonal), plus various bits of local art, and some geek culture figures (The Ticket, Rorschach from The Watchmen). Backs of chairs have random bits of macrame weaved through them. There's a delicate and happy-making mural of birds and a tree in the bathroom. Free wi-fi with password.

[Update: 21Jun26 - Dropped by without realizing I'd been there before. They don't seem to do their own chai anyway, but otherwise it's still wonderful. A couple of outdoor tables on the sidewalk, which is now important to me in permanent pandemic world.]“

“The food was fantastic, and I don't think I've ever had such delicious chips and salsa! I highly suggest the fiesta combo with a margarita. The platter was so big we ended up taking most of it home, and the margarita was top notch! We'll be back!“

“Amazing food at a great price! The staff is great and you feel like family when walking in. The owner Miguel puts his heart into running the restaurant. Check out Corner Cafe and support this local Griffith restaurant!“

“Avgo serves delicious and creative food in a friendly, festive, beautiful environment! The staff is attentive, the servings are very generous, and the signature cocktails are amazing!“

“Mishkenut is our go-to when we want all the goodness of a slow-cooked, savory, healthy meal with the convenience of carry-out. The falafel is perfectly crispy, the hummus silky smooth (you can ask for it extra spicy!), pita warm and fluffy, shawarma seasoned to perfection, and Fatoosh salad with house dressing is light and tasty to balance everything. Plan ahead and call in your order with at least an hour of lead time. Dining in? Call ahead and don't sleep on the delicious hot tea with pine nuts to sip while you wait.“

“My first time here was awesome.As soon as I entered I was hit with the good food smells and very friendly customer service.Everything I purchased was very tasty and fresh.I will be returning soon to try other pastries.Im so glad theyre near me.Please give them a try and enjoy the good smells and delish breads and pastries.They have other options as well.“

“I love The Sweet Tooth! My daughter Monica loves the gum cigarettes. I taught her how to blow the powder to make it look legit. She fooled her older sister and it made her day. Great memories of yesterday. The Razzles, Dots, Lemonheads, etc., bring back countless memories. This throwback business is a must experience. The Straka Family is wonderful.“

“My husband and I went out on a date night on Saturday and decided to check this place out , we were NOT disappointed. Everything was amazing from the service to the ambiance. There is nothing negative I could say about this place. We will be sure to come back soon.“

“Me and my family had the most amazing experience with great service great food on Mother’s Day We had Natasha. She always checked on us made sure we had enough breadsticks. usually, they’re very stingy with the bread. She made sure Had enough refills on drinks before we were completely empty. We didn’t have to ask for anything. Everything ran very smoothly. She was very sweet very kind. She definitely deserves extreme recognition. We could tell that she cared and was very genuine We made sure to let the manager know, but we wanted to write a review as well. Make sure you get Natasha! Thanks again. There is not one thing that I would do better. A plus service According to my mother. Thank you for making Mother’s Day extra special for three Generations of mothers.“

“Was there last Friday. Food and service were excellent. They were out of the Stagg bourbon that I ordered…which was priced at $30 a pour. The waiter asked if I would like to substitute EH Taylor Small Batch instead…which is priced at $17 per pour in the menu. I said that would be fine. I watched them bring the bottle out which I recognized as Small Batch. The bourbon was excellent. Received my bill and was charged the $30 for the Stagg. Pointed it out to the waiter and he said oh no, the bourbon we substituted for you is priced much higher at $47 a pour and we gave that to you for the same price since we were out of the Stagg. I said, no you gave me the EH Taylor Small Batch which is priced at $17 on the menu. He said no I don’t think so. I said can you please ask the bartender what she poured, she said it was the small batch. They whispered back and forth a bit and she told me that I should take advantage of that bill adjustment…like I got a deal when all I wanted was to be charged according to what the menu stated. In the end our waiter was apologetic, adjusted our bill correctly, and was very friendly and attentive throughout our dinner. Just seemed a bit fishy to me. I don’t know everything about bourbon but, I do some hunting and would never pay $30 let alone $47 a pour for Taylor small batch.“

“Love this place, but the dining area is massively reduced (March 2025). Might be just getting worked on (?), not sure, but had family in from out of town that loves this place too and we couldn't fit our group so we had to go somewhere else!“

“My server Brittany was AMAZING... The chicken crunch egg rolls I HIGHLY recommend...The pear martini with a sugar rim was on point.. I had a choice between the dim room or the half lit room, I chose the half lit because the setting and mood was just right for ot. I'm definitely going back next time to sit at the bar and get myself a flight of martinis. ..“

“have been coming here for years! food is always amazing and of course our server Diane is such a sweetheart and always makes the experience more pleasurable 🖤 thank you les cafe!“

“Tacos were delicious. Did carryout and was quick! Will be back!“

“EXCELLENT thai food prepared with a genuine approach. Visiting the area, and SO glad we experienced "SPICE" today! 5 🌟!!“

“Visiting the area and family wanted us to try their brews as one of their favorites. Tried a flight of 10 beers and favs were Tangerine Trackstar, Toxic Words, Lucifer in a haze, Immoveable King, Nuban overlord and the top one Here comes the reaper. We also had the Pretzel and queso for snacks. They were very good and fast. They also had ice tea which is not always available at breweries. I will say the art work gave me pause and some of the names being a Christian but I don't know the background to comment.“

“We just had dinner at Five Star Thai Cuisine. What a delight! We have tried some of the other Thai places in the area and none hold a candle to this restaurant. Such authentic flavors! We lived in Thailand, and this is like popping into one of the local corner places in Bangkok. We will definitely return!“

“We were on a road trip between Chicago and Michigan and found this place on accident. The food quantity and quality far outperformed the price. Great service and the only bad thing is that we are unlikely ever to be by there again. Loved the paninis and definitely enjoy the fries.“

“My husband and I have been ordering from Doreen’s pizza for 14+ years. We’ve ALWAYS gotten the perfect pizza! Super delicious!“

“Very warm place to eat and enjoy 😊“
