50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Indianapolis

“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!“

“Stopped in this morning to celebrate Father's Day with my husband. We enjoyed our breakfast. The grits were the best I've had in years. Sarah (our waitress) was amazing. She gave great suggestions and was so sweet. We will be coming back soon with our children.“

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

“The best fine dining restaurant in Indianapolis. Quality, innovation and great taste. Chef Melvin is inspired and attentive to detail. Alex Williams is an extraordinary Server and guide. Sui generis! Mariane and I are looking forward to another great evening this Thursday. JRBUKER“

“Great service, we were well taken care of! Will certainly return! Great food!“

“We tried the 5 Star Indian restaurant for the first time for our new year outing tor lunch.
. We spent about $200.00 for lunch for four and also had few dishes prepared separately to take home. It was such a lovely experience and worthwhile to celebrate the beginning of our new year. All the dishes were aromatic and satisfying. Some of the dishes we tried were: Aloo samosas for appetizer, chicken curry, lamb saag. Punjabi chicken, and lamb chops to name some. All the dishes were mouthwatering except onion kulcha was not desirable. Our hostess Sukh was a pleasure to work with who checked consistently on us. The atmosphere was divine to linger in.
This Indian restaurant lives up to its name for food , service and true ambiance.
Ten stars to this Five Star Indian Cuisine¹!!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and friendly staff. Shout out to Kaycee for making our experience all it could be.“

“I had the best birthday dinner visiting for my first time. Chuck was truly the best server I’ve had in my entire life, he made the experience. I get iffy dining out because it’s not a cheap thing to do and if you get a bad server or the food sucks it truly ruins the experience. The food was incredible as well… the empanadas, cauliflower (I was shooooocked over this dish)… birria and steak… the happily birthday churros were so cute and added a cherry on top for the whole experience. I will absolutely be back. 1000000000/10 loved my experience here.“

“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“

“My favorite place love the 🍩“

“I was there with three friends to celebrate a birthday. I'd checked “birthday” as the reason for the reservation in Open Table. When we arrived, our table had a cute plaque that said “Happy birthday”. We all commented on how great the food was (and always is), we liked the atmosphere and how lovely it was we could talk and hear each other. Our server was fantastic and when she knew we were their for a birthday, she offered us a champagne toast on the house. Excellent experience and will celebrate all birthday's there. Thank you“

“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.“

“5⭐️ Very friendly & accommodating staff“

“My first visit, but was very impressed with service, cleanliness, and especially the food. I lived in London for 11 years so got to eat plenty of good and authentic Indian food. The lamb karahi I had scored highly on both counts. I will be back - repeatedly - to try many of the other very tasty looking menu items. Best Indian I’ve found so far in Indy.“

“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.“

“Not only is the food delicious, but the staff is amazing!!“

“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 !!!!“

“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!“

“Wonderful experience and service this evening. Our server was Flower (sorry if misspelled). She went above and beyond all evening long to make sure our experience was a positive and felt special every step of the way. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend.“

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!“

“Must have been an off night I’m guessing? Service was horrible, & most of the food was great, special salmon dish for onion allergy family member over salted. Shrimp & grits, burgers, & Mac & cheese were great, “lump” crab hush puppy’s are made with artificial crab meat.“

“Excellent food and great, friendly service.“

“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“

“The dark chocolate brownies they have alone are worth stopping by.“

“Great place to eat, but not so good for take out. They forgot chop sticks and duck sauce.“

“Sunday morning, July 28.... We were a group of 9 hungry ladies recouping from a late night. Our waitress was patient, helpful, on the ball, and super sweet. The food was AMAZING, and the wait time was minimal. Overall, it was the perfect end to our girl's weekend getaway. Thank you!“

“We had a late evening dinner after a big win at the track. The entire meal was incredible and our server was the best! This meal made for a great Grand Finale to our epic weekend in Indy. Thank you for making our family feel loved and celebrated. We will always remember your kindness.“
