50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Lowell

“Great spot to grab tonkotsu and miso ramen in the Merrimack Valley. Their crispy chicken bao is my favorite item in the menu. Drinks are okay - their Mai Tai is more typical of what you get at an old school Chinese restaurant and not a true cocktail bar, basically a mix of fruit juice and rum instead of rums, Curaçao, orgeat, and lime. If that's what you're looking for you'll love it.

The service is friendly, prompt, and the last time we visited the waitress was doubling as hostess and managing it all well with frequent table check-ins. There was live music on our last visit, and the quality was also high.

It's a reliable date spot, and one I'll return to again and again.

Parking: No dedicated parking lot, you either street park or park around the corner a 2 minute walk away at the large paid garage near the cotton mill museum.“

“Yummy Green Goddess Grain bowl and iced ocean blue latte followed by a Mexican hot chocolate latte for dessert. Love the vibe. Love the food. Please please open a cafe in Rhode Island, preferably in Newport or Middletown. :) See you again soon!“

“Best dumplings around and they have large portions!“

“This is the best authentic halal food I've had. I was shocked at how great this place, but I certainly am not disappointed. The food is so flavorful, you get a massive quantity, and it's very reasonably priced. I now go here all the time, and make sure I always stop here if I am anywhere near Lowell. I always get the chicken and lamb over rice and I always have the biggest smile on my face whenever I eat it. The mix of the cooling white sauce and the spicy red sauce is just incredible. I've known so many people that have gone here and I have never heard a single complaint. Everything about this place is phenomenal and I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice halal rice bowl or gyro.“

“very kind and friendly staff, delicious gluten free vegan falafel pizza and gluten free vegan cheese marinara pizza with fresh tomatoes topping“

“Loaded tostones are bomb!!“

“Went here for a late brunch on Sunday. The food was great. Our waitress came by at least 4 times before we could place our order to ask if we were ready. That was a little weird, but otherwise a great experience. Lots of local crowds. Tips are cash only. There's an ATM on the premises. If that's out of order you could add it to your card.“

“The service is prompt, courteous, and attentive! The drinks are creative and presented well. The food? You MUST go there to experience the amazing profile and range of flavors in these dishes. From the appetizers, to the entrees, and even the desserts, you will be blown away! The $1 oysters (Blue Point, Hello?) are freshly shucked and served with chontaduro sauce (native Colombian fruit) that is sweet, tart, spicy, and VERY addictive. The menu changes seasonally, which always makes me wonder what tantalizing dishes the chef will come up with next! The patacones, empanadas, and chicken wings (sweet or SPICY) are always top notch. The SPICY wings, in particular, are the BEST I've ever had, and I've had plenty! A special shout out to any dish featuring pork belly. The way it's prepared (crispy but not burned) makes it a welcome component in any entree or appetizer, whether it's the star ingredient or a supporting role. Finally, a special request for the chef: PLEASE bring back the baby back ribs (with the AMAZING Panela syrup)! Panela, in my opinion, is THE go-to restaurant in Lowell for anyone looking for a unique tasting experience, as well as top notch service.“

“Very quaint and comfortable atmosphere. The food and drinks are fantastic . The inside is very nice and the staff are impeccable people. Great place to get out and relax for a bit no pressure pure bliss!“

“It is the true experience of an American Dinner, friendly staff abundant and delicious food fair prices I highly recommend it

Parking: The ideal is to look for the parking lot at the old station behind the establishment, there is plenty of space to park and it is free.“

“Food was very delicious had duck soup ? ? and duck on side dish both very fresh ? and delicious highly recommended oh Strawberry ? tea ? iced oh my god very delicious recommended it ? prices very fair

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access in front“

“Food excellent staff very friendly and attentive“

“Fat kid for the win! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“so cute I honestly love it“

“The smokiness of the Mango Fried Rice is wonderful, snd the fermented pork salad is divine! Always great flavors!“

“Must commend Avni for the excellent service provided by her.“

“Rizzo’s is my go to place for takeout. They have a wide variety to choose from. Their food is very good, and the delivery service is fast and friendly. The last couple of times,I got a surprise with my orders. The piece of chocolate cake this time was very much appreciated. Love Rizzo’s.“

“so so good, been wanting to try and now we need to come back and try more. service and food was outstanding“

“Love this place! Super excited to have so many vegan options.“

“This was my first visit to this place, and I tried their turkey Avocado panini. It was absolutely delicious. The crunchiness was just right, and the ingredients tasted fresh and of high quality. I will definitely be ordering from here more often.“

“My daughter in law’s lovely large Khmer family really wanted to go to this restaurant! We drove from Ny and the other family members flew in from CA and drove from CT. The food was fantastic and quite flavorful. We got a real smorgasbord of various dishes that we all enjoyed. My favorites were the Khmer chicken wings-outstanding crunch and flavor (I like them better than Buffalo wings), and my absolute favorite, lemongrass chicken. Every other dish was amazing, too. We certainly want to go back here!“

“Their potion is great. I always order the Kathew Phnom Penh Dry at Khmer restaurants; this is up there in taste and quality. My friend got the hot wings with papaya salad. I tried the papaya salad and it was hitting (great). It was not spicy but it was a bit sweet with the taste of salted crabs. You can always add chill, it is at the table.

Parking: You need to come during slow days/hours to park in their lot. There are only 6/8 spots. But there is plenty of street parking if you are lucky.“

“Its not Indian...not sure why website has it as one smh“

“The food is great, although small portions for what a Bandeja paisa should be. The servers are in a nice way, just slow at what they do. They're nice just not very attentive. It takes a long time for them to come get your order. And then when you got our cash out, if you don't have your debit card ready to go, it takes a good while for them to come back and the place is not very big. I found myself double tipping. Sense the tip was already included. That is my fault for not paying close attention. Overall The food is actually really really good ?. I do enjoy going because of the food alone. The empanadas are great.“

“Just had an AMAZING Ribs, Pulled Pork, Mac n Cheese, and Slaw dinner catered for 10 friends last night! Thank You Mill City BBQ and Brew! Been to the restaurant many times. Always the same friendly staff, atmosphere, and GREAT food. Can't recommend them highly enough!!“

“Excellent food, love the Chinese, love the Kung Pao chicken and Sushi. Good drinks and late night service.“

“The izzyrito looked like the standout order here. You can add flaming hot Cheetos to the wrap and I recommend you do! You get a lot of good quality fish and a great variety of veggies and toppings to boot. The truffle aioli was sweet and very truffle-y. It's a bit pricey but I think for the quality of ingredients and the amount of food you're getting, it's worth it. Great option to have in the downtown area ??“

“This is just for the springrolls only. 3 small rolls for $5.50, but everything in it tastes fresh and packs alot of flavor. I like how there's no extra fluff put inside of it, just veggies and shrimp. Looks like they also take cards now ($10 minimum) instead of just cash. It's a small takeout shop, so be ready to squeeze in for a little bit.“

“It's so hard to find doughy pan fried dumplings if you can find them at all but they make them here! & they're bite size! I also like the fried won tons, egg rolls & battered chicken fingers. The service is always kind & pleasant. They have tables set up but I don't believe they have table service & there's no ambiance. But it works if you need to eat there. I always get take out. Remember to order extra duck sauce!“

“Subsequent to visiting numerous Bonchon locations nationwide, I can confidently assert that this establishment is the finest. They prepare the chicken with exceptional freshness, cooking it on-demand rather than relying on pre-cooked options. The chicken pieces are ideally sized, and the sauce is applied in just the right amount. The crunch factor is impeccable. I shall undoubtedly revisit this establishment in the future.“

“This location is the best! I had a HUGE order for a work event. Everything was ready when I got there and it was still super hot. The employees were super nice & offered to help bring the pizzas to my car. The pizza was great, everyone loved it!“

“The best food ever. This place is a hidden gem. I love their grilled fish, half chicken, lamb shank, although everything is great, these are my 3 favorite items. Spacious, very clean and quiet place, great to dine in with family/kids.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“THE FOOD GODS ARE SMILING!!! this is by FAR the best crab we have had, coast to coast! Do yourself a favor and stop in here. Staff was wonderful! Never had an empty glass. It is super clean. All around great experience. I AM REVIEWING THIS AS WE SIT HERE AT HOLY CRAB.“

“I was caught off gaure from the outside vs inside (night and day) its really beautiful their optionsTried there pastelito/empanada. Pricey, but it was like over double the size i was use to and really good taste so worth the price.Have to test their other bakeries soonPeople also were very friendly but they mainly spoke Brazilian PortugueseOnly downside parking very limited, best if you walk to it from a nearby spot“

“Amazing service. The food was really good. Ordered the spring rolls, crab rangoon, drunken noodles and a thai drink. Not too hard to find parking in downtown Lowell. Quiet spot with an authentic vibe to it. 4* for the atmosphere since there were customers taking calls on speakerphones, unhindered. Great experience otherwise.“

“We got a pizza here which pretty much had "everything on it". They have a name for it on the menu, but I forget exactly what it's called. It was quite good, and not a ripoff considering how much toppings were on it. Unlike some other pizzerias in the area that may or may not start with a "Z" in their name.“

“Yummy French toast sticks!!“

“I've been going to The Olympia for my entire life. It is an Outstanding restaurant. Absolutely delicious food in a comfortable, relaxing environment. Everything is delicious. If you are in Lowell, this should be the first place you should try.“

“I have been ordering curb side pick up for a couple times now before leaving this review. I have not gotten bad food. There were some hit or miss (sometimes it would be a 4 star, sometimes it would be a 5) but overall, the food is good. Well seasoned, tasty, and hot. Food readiness for pick up is always either on time or earlier than the estimated time on the Chili's app - which is always delightful. Ladies who handed food to me have always been nice. Parking lot is spacious. Texas fries is super delicious. The salmon was cooked nicely and so did the bacon cheese burger.

Parking: It's a big lot with several handicap spaces and curb side pick up designated spots as well

Wheelchair accessibility: There is ramp for wheelchair“

“Me and my fiancé just went in today for the grand opening under new management. I got a Mikey’s choice sub and she got the mozzarella sticks. First the food was amazing and I can’t wait to go back and get more . The sub was very flavorful and perfect combination of sauce and the meat. The mozzarella sticks were crunchy and cheesy and the marinara sauce was the icing on the cake to make it perfect . The workers and new manager there were all very friendly and made sure all our needs were met. I can’t wait to go back for more .“

“Delicious! All around satisfied. The empanadas are large and the smoothies made an unexpectedly good pairing. Try them both! The atmosphere is clean and stylish. It's a small place but it was perfect for myself and a coworker to fulfill our empanada craving after work.“

“prompt service, clean & great steak tips“

“Fantastic service every time, food portions are always plentiful and delicious! Pizza is #1!“

“excellent food and delicious“

“We usually order out here. I usually avoid ordering dosa since it doesn't stay as crunchy, but if you are going to dine-in, all their dosas and sambar are amazing. We also love their tandoori dishes. Chicken tikka masala and the crunchy gobi are a must.“

“original tacos finally !!“

“When the wife is away somebody has to take care of your Sunday biryani cravings ? I got you… introducing ( drumroll) Paradise …
I have eaten at this spot a zillion times, never reviewed it.
Truth be told, most of the times the biryani has been stellar, however there have been times when it has been below average.

At this location my preference is to order a chicken biryani, IMHO better than the mutton biryani. Also this time I ordered the Hyderabadi mutton masala, hmm yum really good creamy, rich flavorful gravy with juicy succulent mutton pieces.

The guy at the takeout counter is always great, polite and always smiling.

I generally do a take out so I can’t say anything about the wait staff.

Enjoy the biryani guys !“

“The best place I've ever eaten here in the USA, I recommend itThe place is super clean and the service is wonderful ?They are very attentive when preparing our food, I also can't forget to mention the wonderful taste of the food ?“
