50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Cambridge

“absolutely stunning vegan ramen! Everything I've had from here has been amazing.“

“tasty! fresh and quick. friendly staff“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice, but the waitress with red hair, who wasn't Asian and was wearing a Harley Davidson bomber jacket, was very rude. She had a judgmental and unhelpful attitude while we were choosing our meals. She suddenly brought the check even though we didn't ask for it, as if she wanted us to leave.“

“I enjoy Cava every day, but especially when I am on my way to an event! Jeff, Luz,&Cris are just a few of the employees that bring charisma and good customer service to the Cava Experience! Thanks for helping my stay healthy. PS the right rice is my fav!“

“The food and drinks were excellent. 5:30 reservation right when they opened-probably wouldn't do that again. Everyone got sat at the same time and made for a long wait. Didnt get drinks until 5:52. Total dining time was 2 hours. Found street parking but I can see where this wouldn't be as possible during busier times of year. Bar is first come first serve and people start lining up around 4:30.“

“A wonderful tiki bar! We loved the food and creative cocktails.“

“Incredible food at the Chef’s Table. Amazing coordination between staff in a small space. Very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best meal I have ever had and I didn’t choose any of the courses!“

“We took a friend out to dinner at Oleana last night for her birthday and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. We loved being able to share and sample so many dishes, and each one was a masterful balancing of herbs, spices and flavors. The service was also top-notch. We can’t wait to return! It’s no surprise that it’s hard to get a reservation.“

“Extensive vegan menu, delicious for a date night! Vegan does not equal healthy so come expecting fried, salty, sugary (yummy!) food. I had the steak frites which was really delicious, and a side of cabbage slaw which I was on the fence about. The only word I can think of to describe the texture is “viscous”. Hubby got the blue plate special which was tamales. He wasn’t blown away. But of course the deserts at Veggie Galaxy more than make up for any disappointment about dinner! We got Oreo cheesecake and tres leche cake. Divine! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-12“

“This was incredible. We came here for a late Valentine’s Day dinner around 9 and the place was still pretty busy. We did have a reservation so we were seated downstairs promptly. The only thing we could even think of being a negative is the time it took for the waiter to approach our table initially but it’s a holiday and they were busy so we weren’t pressed. The drinks were great (Mojito and Hotel Nacional) We really weren’t ready for how AMAZING the food was. We had the Jamon Croquettes, Chicharrones de Invierno, Costillas and Taco del dia. Just try it all. They had a passion fruit mousse chocolate tarte special for Valentine’s Day, also amazing. The AGM (I think?) came to chat with us and he was so animated and friendly. We even asked to give our compliments to the chef. We will be back!“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“The food was incredible and everyone was super friendly. I’m glad we stopped in!“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.“

“fast and efficient customer service. Definitely recommend the Hamburger and fries“

“Great food but lately El Jefe's is taking a hit on bad reviews due to @GrubHub's poor ordering system with algorithm issues which I have brought to their attention, and seems they still haven't fixed since I placed an order months prior. On 3 separate occasions on the same date and time I received my order incorrect. When I compared the order from my GrubHub account against the receipt received from El Jefe's, it was determined I was missing many items from my burrito bowl. I contacted GrubHub in which they kept refunding me, and I also mentioned the issue. I ordered El Jefe's 2 more times and the same error occurred both times. I could see once they mess up the order due to reading it wrong but not 3x. El Jefe's only puts an order together based on the ordering slips they receive from GrubHub, so if something is off with GrubHub's ordering system that is what the restaurant is receiving and thus creating the order from. As much as these food delivery services are ripping off these restaurants, they got a nerve to make the restaurant take accountability for their mess ups and ordering errors. They're already scamming these vendors out of $$$ and continue to affect these companies in a negative manner. Time for these vendors to go back to the old delivery ways and cut the greedy middle man! These good delivery services are a total rip off with their high fees, whacked discounts that don't add up, and lack of customer service.“

“beautiful patio expansion "Moona Oasis" to accommodate more guests!“

“I had a great experience at Cava, and a big part of that was thanks to the manager, Dan. He was incredibly kind, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Dan made sure everything ran smoothly and took the time to make everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. It’s rare to find that level of professionalism paired with such a positive attitude. Highly recommend!“

“Muqueca Restaurante é simplesmente o melhor dos melhores restaurantes com a melhor culinária de comidas típicas Brasileira que tem aqui 🇺🇸! Tudo de primeira qualidade feito com amor ! Atendimento excelente, preços não vou nem falar,somente vocês indo lá para comer e saberá! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Family had dinner at Stoked in Cohasset last weekend….what a great meal! Pizzas were SO delicious, as were the Greek and Caesar salads. House wines were really good. Children loved their meals too. Our server was terrific, fun and attentive. An overall perfect experience…casual and delicious!! It was a little quiet when we went, but it was early. Can’t imagine this local gem will be quiet very often! We’ll all be back ! Nana from Hingham“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“My husband and I had the cornbread, raspberry currant muffin, cold brew flight, carnitas taco, elote taco, and avocado tostado. All of it was amazing and affordable!!“

“nice state park.lots of wild life to see.“

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Saigon Babylon! I think it’s one of the better places I’ve been to in Boston in terms of food, ambiance, and location. The drink options were really fun and tasted delicious. Although the menu was small, there was a good variety. The food had a lot of flavor and felt very unique. Finally, the service was a little slow but everyone was really kind and welcoming. I would definitely come back!“

“Cranberry Pecan Roll is out of this world.“

“Had a bit of time before dinner and, wait! +Ice Cream+ sign, I was lured in. Who say ya’ can’t have ice cream in January, and before dinner?

This was a great surprise and it’s a darn good thing that I don’t live close by. Really, creamy texture and just the right chewiness. Not like bubblegum chewy; am I making sense, here? Generous portions and reasonable prices.

Definitely adding Lizzy’s to my must visit list.“

“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“

“Dang oh dang 🤩, what a deal what a steal. I have never been so satisfied during my lunch break when I sat down and was presented with an amazing appetizer of crab rangoon which was then followed by drunken noodles 🍝. I love Thai food but man this Thai food was better than usual. The price on the other hand was amazing for the quality it provides. Mae is well located in Cambridge so take your next lunch break here, you won’t be disappointed 😆.“

“Really good food. The garlicky green beans were done so well. The duck was succulent and well seasoned.
Staff were attentive, but too quick to take plates away. They really seemed like they were pushing us out so they could wipe down the table and make space for next customers, and it wasn’t even that busy.“

“best froyo at the harvard community!“

“My group ordered the bone marrow hush puppies, bavette steak, prime rib, and monkfish. Only the prime rib met expectations. The monkfish consisted of 3 small slices sitting on cubed root vegetables. The lobster broth was pretty bland and was not enough to salvage an otherwise meh dish. The bavette was cooked well, but our piece contained a lot of sinew and was other connective tissue. Lastly, the desserts left a lot to be desired. We were in a rush so had to have our two desserts packed to go. One was a lanna cotta that came with the prime rib and we ordered an apple tart. We either did not receive the lanna cotta or it was more a cheesecake that looked and tasted nothing like a panna cotta. The apple tart also either lacked components or was not as described. Overall...pretty mundane meal.“

“tasty! fresh and quick. friendly staff“

“Great place to stop and try Sicilian Pizza.“

“We definitely enjoyed our meal! Pan seared pork bao and mala duck for appetizers. General Tso’s chicken and Grandma’s pork noodles for entrees. Good stuff! Kyle the bartender was awesome. We ate at the bar,“

“The Helmand restaurant is a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Afghan cuisine in a warm and inviting setting. The food is absolutely delicious, full of rich flavors and beautifully prepared. The service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. A special mention goes to the host, Walayat, whose kindness and professionalism truly stand out. The cozy and pleasant atmosphere, combined with lovely Afghan music playing in the background, creates a relaxing and memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and hospitality. We were a group of 12 well accommodated. Thanks Guys!“

“I don't write many reviews. For me to write a review a restaurant has to be either really bad and amazingly good. Sugar and spice is amazingly good Thai food! My wife says it was the best pad thai she's ever had. My son had the tamarind duck, which I sampled, and I had the kanom jean nam ngaio (see pics). Both were sooo good. Service was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back!“

“fish amazing but also blown away by vegetable roll!“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend.“

“We love bagelsaurus! You certainly have the market for bagels in this area. Others just don’t compare. Best bagel sandwiches. Please bring back online preordering for sandwiches on weekends. Online ordering was time efficient for everyone and child friendly in a location that is generally very child unfriendly.“

“Happy Lamb in Cambridge is my preferred location in Massachusetts.

I've been going to this location for quite some time now, and it never disappoints.

I always look forward to going because of the consistency of the flavor, atmosphere, and the great customer service that is provided amongst the entire staff.

I would like to single out three ladies that always go above and beyond to make sure that everything is up to the best standards. These ladies are Stephanie, Julissa, and Adrianna. They always have a smile on their face, are extremely kind and attentive. They make the experience always enjoyable for myself and my friends/family. It's always a wonderful restaurant experience and with them it feels like I'm visiting family for dinner with their warm welcoming back.

I really appreciate that level of service that Stephanie, Julissa, and Adrianna always provide. I always look forward to seeing them, and they are a great asset to Happy Lamb in Cambridge.

Thank you for all of your hard work.

I can't wait to go back and see you all.“

“so many fabulous flavors of Gelato to pick from!“

“The restaurant is well-decorated and embodies the spirit of Boston in its decor. They offer a variety of items, from small plates to large. The beer selection includes both local and global options. The food dishes are beyond ordinary preparation, featuring a fusion of multiple cuisines, but with careful attention to avoid overshadowing any one cuisine. The veggie burger might sound simple, but even with lettuce wraps, it was juicy and the sauces were like warm hugs to the burger. The sides weren’t just plain house potatoes; they were crispy yet flavorful.“

“Really charming small spot with wonderful staff.
Came in the other night and sat at the bar which is reserved for walk-ins. They recommended the duck soup which was perfect. My nephew had a great vegan meal. Reserve a spot or get there early.“

“The location, atmosphere, and service were great! The drinks were pretty good. The food was different for us but we’re from the south. It was good, but if you’re used to southern breakfasts, order something different so you won’t be disappointed! Their “salsa” was similar to tomato soup with no spice so that was unique!“

“Incredible, incredible, incredible food!!! When I was placing order I was thinking “it’s just noodles. How surprising it can be.” I was wrong. Never ever in my life I tried something like this before. There is so much flavor to explore in the noodles: the peanuts, the peanut butter, the mayo, the tofu, the spicy peppers… you don’t get the flavory-mixed paste covering everything, that would be homogeneous. But no, the ingredients come by themselves. And that’s the pure joy of vegetarian food: when made right, you don’t get repetition. You’d discover how rich in flavours those ingredients can be. I was hugely satisfied upon completing my meal. 100% recommended.“

“The food was delicious and the stuff was very nice and very cautious with the virus situation.“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“
