50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Indianapolis

“This place is amazing! The customer service alone was outstanding. Sara and Rachel made us feel so special! I finished my plate and before I could even set it down at the edge of the table Rachel was there to pick it up. Sara was at our table so often to make sure we were taken care of that it felt like we were the only customers dining. Fogo de Chao do not lose these amazing young women!!“

“Great atmosphere. First timer: food was excellent. Server was fun and knowledgeable of the menu. Came for Dining Out For Life and will definitely be back.“

“We absolutely LOVE!!! We come up every year from Evansville for our Daughters birthday We love it so much, see you tonight !“

“Great location and the food is excellent!😊“

“Everything from the minute you walk in the front door till the time you leave - the service is impeccable and the staff make you feel like family. The food presentation and flavors are a culinary experience explosion in your mouth - it’s that good! … I had the delicious Tart. Seriously, it was so scrumptious and I felt like royalty when the dish was placed infront of me. Incredible. Delicious. Unbelievable.“

“My husband and I were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. Our very first date was at OG, so we love to order from there on our day. We decided to try the new delivery option available on the website, and after waiting an hour and a half for Uber to try to get their act together, Uber canceled our order. I immediately called OG to explain what happened and to see what could be done. The GM, Nicole, was absolutely amazing! She was very upset that the delivery was messed up and did everything she could to find out what happened. She explained she was going to drive the order to us herself. She lived near our hotel and wanted to be sure we got dinner being it was already 9pm on a Saturday night. I was almost in tears. I then explained that she was saving our anniversary dinner. When she had our entire order remade, she packed a few extra goodies and included a little note wishing us a Happy Anniversary. This woman knows customer service! I encourage everyone to go to the 82nd St location in Indy.“

“We just ate there for the first time today. The guy who greeted us, I think his name was Cooper, was fantastic! He was very friendly and helpful during our entire visit. The food was delicious and we will definitely be back! Bonus points that parking is free on Sundays!“

“I’m from out of town my granddaughter took me to a vegan restaurant in June it wasn’t good. I have alpha gal so my options are limited. My daughter brought me to 10th Street Diner. It is so good. I will be coming back. She is not limited with her food choices and ate the Buffalo Chicken sandwich, she loved it.“

“King and Michelle stopped by Black Leaf Vegan before heading back to Maryland from Indianapolis on Labor Day Monday. One of the first things that impressed us was how quickly the business responded to our Facebook Messenger inquiry about whether they’d be open for the holiday. That responsiveness was already a big plus. When we arrived, we were immediately drawn in by the décor—it’s warm, stylish, and welcoming. The music set a perfect vibe. Michelle (vegan) and King (decidedly not vegan) both ordered from the breakfast and lunch menus, and we were equally impressed. The food was flavorful, and the smoothie King had was refreshing. ⭐ 5/5 – Highly recommend! If you’re looking for a vegan-friendly option in Indianapolis, this spot deserves a visit. Bonus points: The owner personally came over to our table after confirming we were the ones who messaged the business. That extra step in hospitality goes a long way and left a lasting impression.“

“Absolutely love the pumpkin pancakes so much, that I get them every visit! And summer the lemon blueberry. We ask for Layla every time, she knows what we drink and brings them before we ever ask. She jokes with my husband which he loves. She's funny, super sweet and such a great waitress. We've been coming here for a few months now, after leaving another pancake place, because of the food and service here. We bring all of out out of town guests here and upon a return visit this is where they want to come. Layla makes each visit the best part of our day!“

“Whether you are Vegan, Vegetarian or Otherwise (LIKE ME) : these 🍪 treats make all taste buds 😊! Can't wait to get my next order !!! 🎯“

“I am not usually inclined to leave a review, but I feel as tonight's visit warrants a call out. As a parent that has a child with a gluten allergy we know the struggles of finding places out to eat. We have had Azzip a few times, but have always ordered ahead of time online then drove to the store to pick it up. This evening, we found ourselves out on errands and in the area and decided Azzip had been a safe choice in the past so we made our way there. The store was not busy, but there people ahead of us and behind us and I felt the protocol followed didn't slow the process terribly but I want to commend the staff for taking it seriously. What I witnessed: 2 people working the line making the pizza on the "ingredients" side of the oven. my kid informed them of the gluten free need and they asked if it was preference or allergy. my kid informed them of allergy. they cleared the line of the previous pizza being made once cleared, they stripped their gloves and cleaned the work space and the sauce bottle my kid wanted on their pizza a cooking mat from a separate area was produced and the cauliflower crust requested was added all the toppings requested were added then the pizza was placed in the oven. there was communication to the receiving team member that an allergen pizza was coming afterwards, my other kid and my pizza were started only after the 1st was placed in the oven. after the gluten free pizza came out of the oven, I noticed the cutting instrument was different than what was used for the other pizzas we ordered. Our experiences thus far is many people don't understand what Celiac disease is and how gluten can harm the body of those affected. It is more than just the ingredients consumed; cross contamination is the true problem. Seeing the team execute the procedure with care warmed my heart as I know it takes a lot of effort to create the process, then train to it and then to follow it. My appreciation to the team! We will definitely be back!“

“We had a lovely time this evening with a great bartender and staff. Loved the Down the Rabbit Hole drink and of course the empanadas. But it was the friendliness of the staff that was the highlight. Learned about a couple of drinks and the rim dip stand while talking to the bartender and the manager helped us with a future reservation. Both of them represented the restaurant very well. We are coming back with a group for a special dinner.“

“Always a positive experience here. Food is equivalent to steakhouses that are double the cost. Their golden beet salad is awesome, wife got Chilean sea bass, also awesome. I can't seem to get away from the filet which is as good as the downtown steak houses. Desert shots are perfect. Our favorite restaurant, hands down!“

“The atmosphere and the views were top tier!! Marissa provided great service and makes us plan to come back for more cold beer. Thank you twin peaks and Marissa ❤️“

“My favorite place love the 🍩“

“Patachou rocks. Not only is the food superb. Their restrooms are always clean and the service is great. They also take the time to watch out for their patrons when they misplaced their valuables I’m a customer for life. Now if I could just get another cup of their banana nut coffee. Best cup I’ve ever had“

“Excellent food and customers service I highly recommended.“

“we drove down for Fathers day dinner, the food, atmosphere and service are just amazing, they have huge portions and the owner is super friendly. we are going to keep coming back.“

“Andre was the best server I have ever had an experience with. He made my time at the restaurant an experience I’ll never forget. Andre was always checking on the table and refilling drinks, GET THIS MAN A RASE. For my first time coming to Indianapolis Andre made it very special. Thank you!“

“Very disappointing the parking for seniors stinks. I don’t how long I am going to be there. Going in out to pay for meters not good.“

“Had dinner with a friend on a busy Thursday night. Luckily she got there early and grabbed a table for us before the rush started. Our waitress, Courtney O was awesome! We had the spring rolls, and chicken wings both were perfectly crunchy the sauces were delicious. For dinner, my friend had the Bodhi fried rice, which was made fresh - there was steam rolling off of it the whole time we ate. I had the Stir-fried glass noodles with shrimp (medium.) The shrimp were cooked perfectly, seasoned well and the medium heat was just right for me. Overall the food was fabulous, love the atmosphere, will definitely be back.“

“Ordered two pizzas and a salad last night through DoorDash. I hadn’t tried Azzip or even heard of it yet but the specialty pizzas looked interesting so I gave it a shot. Wow. Azzip is going on my list of favorite pizza 💯 I tried the Smokehouse MacDaddy and CBR square. Flavor explosion and perfect crust on both! I also tried the house ranch dressing and it was top notch. I need a bottle of it! I rarely leave reviews but had to say something about this pizza!“

“Amazing Ethiopian Restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana. I especially recommend the Vegan plate!“

“OMG We had the best experience since covid Our bartender Tyrone was amazing fun and fast smiling made our night Thank you Tyrone for making our night great !!!!“

“This place is pretty inside with fast bar service, lots of wood, and a Jesus with glowing eyes. Went to see a band and the bar contained statistically improbable number of dudes in unscuffed boots with cop mustaches. Unsure if this is the norm or if it was because of the band.

I wanted to try the vegan wings, but it was standing room only. Layout wasn't really condusive to being out of the way with your back to a wall, so watch out for that if you're neurodivergent or have the ptsd. You can still hear the band while sitting on the side of the front porch, but avoid the poison ivy.

Bummed this place is closing, will have to go back before Nov 22.“

“We went to Iozzo’s last month for our anniversary dinner. It was a truly memorable experience. The food was fantastic. Nice outdoor patio with a lovely fountain ⛲️ Our server, Jason, was terrific and very attentive. Chris, the manager, repeatedly checked on us. Now one of our all-time favorite restaurants. We plan to get back in the coming months. William Whitton Shirley Broyles“

“This is my absolute favorite ice cream in Indy!“

“Oh my! This place is wonderful: the service, the wine recommendation, the food, it was all phenomenal! Great place for a date night or special occasion. We will be back.“

“I went to their Riley Day’s event truck to try a burger and OMG. When I tell you it’s the best burger in Greenfield it’s just simply that, the best. They were packed with orders and still managed to get everything out in a timely and friendly manner. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“I love Giordano’s, their deep dish is one of my favorites. The service is always good but our server, Tiffany, outdid herself tonight! Highly recommend!“

“Such a great time the girls and I had for our girl trip! The food was delicious staff were all friendly and very warm welcoming! To learn the history on the slippery noodle inn tour was one of our favorite parts! So much to unpack and learn about the building and back history our tour guide was an absolute pleasure and awesome guy! 10/10 recommend can’t wait to return!“
