27 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Arlington

“I just had the hottest meal I’ve ever had. The waiter said “That is very very spicy”…I told him to say “very” three times to warn customers. The meal was AWESOME!!! Thank you 👍“

“La Victoria has long been a go-to option if I need a quick and affordable lunch option, but this past week I got catering platters from them for the Friday night dinner for our out of town guests for my son's bar mtizvah. Everything was delicious, and it was easy for people to mix and match what they wanted to eat -- a real benefit for feeding a crowd. Alex at La Victoria made the ordering process easy! We will definitely do this again!!“

“Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow.
Tip: get there early, right when they open, and you (hopefully) won’t be waiting in line.

We have offices in Japan, and we have had sushi all over the world, and this was so very very fresh. We took the bus all the way from Cambridge just to eat dinner here.

I had the Hamachi and the scallop and the Toro, all very reasonably priced and all very fresh. Really surprised at the price of the Toro, because it’s more expensive even in North Carolina! Great value for such a fresh fish.

Six dollars for a Sapporo and $11 for a carafe of hot sake was also a great deal.

We also tried the Buta Barra Kaku-ni (which was the Japanese raised pork belly). And it was outstanding! We have a lot of pork belly in the region where we live, and this interpretation of it was so tender. It just melted in your mouth!
We also tried the umaki, which was the egg and the eel combo. It was good, but I don’t think I would get that one again when there are so many other fabulous menu options. But I’m glad I tried it.

Great selection of sake as well.
We will be back when we are in Massachusetts!“

“This is clearly the best Indian food in the greater Boston area by a long mile. All the dishes have perfect consistency, are very tasty and aromatic, have fresh ingredients, and have a special savory quality above other Indian restaurants. Also, the chefs will make the food based on your preference of spiciness (and I've actually ordered vindaloo, which is supposed to be spicy, in other local restaurants that was served mild!) no matter what the dish. The selection is larger and more interesting that at any other local restaurant, with a good selection of special dishes, breads, and dosas in addition to all the traditional dishes. There is an amazingly good selection of several draft and bottled beers (for example, Night Shift and Jacks Abby offerings on tap, and Dogfish Head and others in bottles), which is EXTREMELY rare for Indian restaurants, which usually serve the worst quality beers. Finally, the location (Arlington Center, with plenty of on street parking) and inside decor are great, with a modern and stylish interior with comfortable seating. The wait staff is always friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable. So, if you want to have the best experience in Indian dining (even if the dishes are a dollar or two more expensive), make Punjab your destination. I've been to dozens of other local Indian restaurants over the past 37 years and this is by far the best one!“

“Consistently delicious! Their Jamaican Jerk is one of my favorites.“

“very very Nice food Namaste Spice Arlington MA“

“Very nice bakery - friendly staff.

We ordered a cake a few years ago for a gender reveal party that worked out really well.

Recently we wanted to do the same thing to announce our second child, so we ordered a small batch of cupcakes with a blue/pink center to do the gender reveal. Except this time they forgot to add the filling! We called up the bakery and within an hour they had quickly put together some replacement cupcakes. Mistakes happen - but their team really worked hard to help us out and save the day.“

“We all had something different and everything was equally delicious. We started with a Caprese salad (amazing) and then each had a different pasta dish - including spaghetti with mussels. The sauce was slightly spicey (as advertised) and SO GOOD! The chef’s specials were perfect.

We enjoyed the relaxed interior and could comfortably converse in the cozy and authentic space. The chef checked in on us multiple times and the waiter was friendly and attentive.

We HIGHLY recommend this local gem!“

“This spot is my Arlington gem. The seafood is fresh and the portion is good. I always order takeout and the food is ready within 20’. I’ve tried another restaurant on Arlington’s top rated list and Umi remains my go-to.

My favorite is the kohaku don. The chirashi bowl and sake bowl are also fantastic. Pictures are takoyaki and sake bowl.“

“One of our absolute favorite spots in town, we’re so lucky to have this in our community!“

“Great food at a great price really enjoy it“

“One of my favorite coffee houses in the world; fuses together so many concepts (coffee, dining, co-working, live music/poetry slams, community center, solo seating, round tables, long tables, counter stools) all in a way that just fits and works together. Perfect harmony“

“Love the Town Tavern! The atmosphere is relaxing & comfortable! The staff is knowledgeable & attentive! The food is DELICIOUS! (And the portions are large). Highly recommend this restaurant!!!“

“Great food cool cocktails“

“Hands down the best Indian food in town. We tried their neighbors Punjab and Zomza (and they are good) but we like this one best! Our go to’s are the butter chicken which is incredibly smooth and flavorful and the Matar Paneer. Make also sure to try their garlic naan and mango lassi! The restaurant is very spacious and I appreciate that you can have a good conversation at dinner as it is not noisy. Service is attentive and friendly! Give it a try!“

“I love their pizza! One of my household members is medically-gluten free. Their GF pizza is really terrific. The staff is always courteous and pleasant to work with.“

“Great Cafe, got turkey sub, had lunch with my Aunt Rachel. Food was made Fast .“

“After a while of having a new job, I decided to treat my family to my childhood pizza place. And despite 10+ years passing, the pizza and fries still have the same amazing taste! The fries in particular are quite crispy and soft on the inside, haven't had ones like those anywhere else.

I also appreciate the wonderful service and people as well. A welcoming and friendly environment, with a few tables outdoors to enjoy your meal. Truly a fantastic place to visit!“

“First time yesterday, very kind employees,fast service, wonderful meatball sub, french fries.“

“I really enjoyed my visit here! The sushi was fresh and delicious, and the sticky rice gave it a nice unique touch. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was great from start to finish. Definitely a place I’d come back to again! 🍣💛“

“Delicious, delicious moussaka! And a friendly waitress even as you could tell she was busy.“

“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.“

“The food is excellent, everything is made in house as far as I can tell. The ban chan is always unique and creative. Obviously their Bibimbap is to die for, but their Korean Grill items keep me coming back. The pork belly is divine!! The owners/chefs are probably the sweetest people I have ever met and treat us like family. What a treat to eat!!“

“This place does not have the best food, what is has is attitude. A great experience. The place is just a simple happy restaurant where you feel at home.

Our waitress and her daughter were just outstanding. The food was served hot and fast.

Just a good time“

“An offshoot of the late, great Jose's Mexican restaurant in Cambridge. Many of the selections are the same. We came specifically for the pozole, a chicken and homily corn soup. A large bowl was loaded with big kernels of corn and plenty of chicken. A friend who was born and raised in Mexico said Jose's pozole is top notch. Quality and quantity make for good value. We easily found parking on the street at no cost for 2 hours. Service was fast and friendly. They plan to expand inside and out so seating will increase. They're also getting a liquor license.
We will return!“

“Wonderful meal in a spotless restaurant. Separations between tables was very nice!“

“I picked up a food delivery job just before the covid lockdown (great timing since I worked in retail..), and they have to be doing something right as I prob get more orders from them than almost any other place. And they've always got the pick-up/delivery orders running on time and on point! Not a single customer complaint (and their customers tip drivers accordingly, considering were gassing up our cars to deliver to people in the middle of a worldwide viral pandemic). Love doing pickups here! Great staff, clearly awesome menu! While you can't currently dine in, please order take out/delivery/buy gift certificates to help them get thru this!“
