49 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Waltham

“Fabulous food, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Always have around 10 specials. They also have creative give aways/promotions a few times a year. The owner and staff are very friendly. Today Susan waited on me and she was quick and very nice.“

“The best Mexican in a hundred-mile radius. The tacos are my favorite, and the team is friendly and professional. The setting fits the street-taco character, but definitely try the plates, tortas, and burritos. I've been a customer for a decade and hope to be for decades more!“

“Great food, great service. Classic 1948 stainless steel diner. Convenient onsite parking.“

“Love their dosa and chole bhature !!!!“

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!“

“Went in for my birthday dinner. Service was great and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be back again.“

“Ruth’s Chris is great, but Joe D is what really makes that place tick. We have been doing monthly friend dinners for some time and keep coming back to see our boy Joe. Steaks are always great, but they taste even better when the guy serving them is an absolute 11/10.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Sakura. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. One of the highlights of the meal was the sushi boat, it arrived looking like a work of art and offered a great variety of sushi and rolls, all incredibly fresh and well prepared. It’s perfect for sharing.
The shrimp fried rice was also excellent, perfectly cooked with great flavor and generous portions.
The ambiance is just okay, but the overall service was very attentive and friendly. Sakura is a great spot for delicious sushi and a relaxed casual dinner.“

“Delicious food and excellent service!!“

“Good food very nice service“

“Food was excellent. Had the empanada, guscamole, cuban sliders, and ceviche. Everything came out as it was ready, tapas style. Service was prompt until dessert, when we had to wait quite a while for our waiter to return. The place had gotten much busier while we ate. When leaving it was quite noisy.“

“The pizza was great! The kids asked to come back the next time we’re in the area. They were impressed with the size of each slice! - Franchesca - Rochester, NY“

“Awesome place to check out for superb beers and atmosphere to sit and enjoy them with friends or with family. Plenty of seating and space that wont feel crowded. The hanging egg chairs are special and relaxing to sip beer on a warm day. Highly recommend.“

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“This place is wonderful!!! Great food, and decor. Even the Ladies bathroom is chill. Shout out to Sam our server who was so cool! Definitely coming back :)“

“Mu Lan Taiwanese Restaurant is a Taiwanese restaurant in Waltham that focuses on traditional dishes, family-style portions, and bold flavors. The restaurant has a comfortable and casual atmosphere that works well for both smaller meals and larger group dinners. The menu has a wide range of options, including classic Taiwanese favorites and some dishes that are more familiar to people who enjoy Chinese cuisine, making it easy to order whether you are looking for something traditional or something more recognizable.

The food is the main reason to visit, especially the dishes that highlight Taiwanese flavors. The crispy chicken in chili sauce was one of the standout dishes because it had a good balance of texture and seasoning. The outside had a nice crispness while the sauce added a stronger flavor without overwhelming the dish. The salt and pepper pork chops were another highlight, with a satisfying crunch and the kind of savory flavor that makes it easy to keep reaching for another piece.

The duck dishes are also worth trying, especially if you are looking for something that feels more unique compared to standard Chinese takeout options. The scallion pancakes and dumplings are good choices for sharing, and the menu has plenty of dishes that work well for ordering family style. I liked that the portions were generous, which makes it easier to try multiple dishes with a group instead of everyone ordering separately.

The service was generally friendly and the food came out at a good pace during my visit. The restaurant can get busy, especially during peak dinner hours, but that also adds to the lively atmosphere. For larger groups, making a reservation is helpful because the space fills up quickly.

Overall, Mu Lan is a solid choice for Taiwanese food in the area. The combination of authentic flavors, large portions, and a wide menu makes it a place I would return to. I would focus on the traditional dishes rather than the more Americanized options because that is where the restaurant stands out the most.“

“Excellent nachos, came back just for them!“

“the best! lunch dinner, great service, highly recommended“

“This is a great local pizza shop. This place has been around for many years. Mainly meant for takeout, but has options for dining. My children love the pizzas. They say it's very tasty. They also have other options as well including salads, subs and calzones. This is definitely a place to add to ones list and try out.“

“Love so much about this place, the food is really good - the staff are so nice and friendly. They make you feel welcome. Love our Sunday brunches here.“

“I and my husband had a dinner yesterday and food was delicious, Angelo, our server was excellent, real pro. The restaurant by itself gave us a feeling of the real Italy. Thank you!“

“My family and I just returned from the Charles River Chapter of the Bay State Council of the Blind Holiday Party at John Brewers. It’s at least the 12th year we have been going there. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. The food is always good and they provide braille menus. We all had a great time.“

“Went to an escape room nearby and a friend wanted Chinese near us and checked on the maps and this was close by and had good reviews.

Just like the reviews said there is as paid parking lot right next to it and you may find free street parking around.

Quiet with plenty of seating and very authentic Chinese food, not the Americanized Chinese food. They also served us water right away and kept coming around to make sure our glasses were always topped up.

The friend who wanted Chinese asked the waiter for a shrimp recommendation and talked with the waiter about what he would like and when the food came it was exactly what he wanted. Everyone lived their dishes and the prices were very reasonable.

We even agreed that next time we do the escape room in the area, we are going back to eat there again.“

“Annie is the most awesome bartender.she is so personable and helpful it was a great experience in Waltham“

“Always tasty food at a reasonable price 😊“

“The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. The price was reasonable.“

“Leo’s is a great place that has a friendly staff and great breakfast and lunch food with speedy service. Highly recommended.“

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“Everything here has been super tasty. I’ve been many times and brought different friends who has all loved it. Nice, casual, cafeteria-style service. Lots if actually-vegetarian options that are very well-seasoned“

“Great spot just off 95. Warm and friendly staff with a great comfort menu. Nice place for a date night.“

“I hadn't been to Sweet Basil in a while and my friend and I decided to give it a go. I had forgotten how beautiful the decor and ambiance was. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by the host as well as Caroline, our bartender. She made us two perfect martini's to the rim, and brought us out a complimentary dish from the chef which was fantastic (I think it was fried chickpea flour in the shape of a very think fry. They also brought us out complimentary bread and focaccia as well as home made pesto. We ordered the meatballs (the best I've ever had, and my wife is Sicilian). We then shared the Chicken Parm which had the most amazing chunky sauce packed with flavor along with homemade rigatoni! This by far was one of the best meals I've had in a while! Sweet Basil will now go in our rotation of weekly restaurants to visit.“

“We love Indian food and trying new places . Tonight was our first time here and it was so good. Do not be deceived by the empty restaurant! Take out orders we’re flying out of there while we sat. Our food took a while to come out but it was easily the best Indian food we’ve ever had. Paneer Manchurian, paneer tikka masala, paneer butter masala. All incredible. And wow the naan!!! The places we frequent don’t touch the quality of This food. And the best part? When you ask for mild and it comes mild! Incredible. Highly recommend.“

“Came here on a Saturday evening because we had a hankering for a variety of meats and had driven by this place many times. As you walk in, you are greeted by a salad bar and table with plates or takeout containers. You grab whatever you want from the salad bar buffet (which has a small selection of meat at the end) and then head over to the grill. There are a different cuts of chicken, beef, pork, and lamb that you can request. Once you’re done ordering, they weigh your plate and you pay based upon that. There are different prices for salad bar only, salad bar and grilled meats, and grilled meats only). Then you can either take it to go or sit in the dining area behind the bar. There was a TV playing a concert and some other folks back in the casual dining area.

The picanha and other beef was a bit overcooked the night we went, but that doesn’t take away from how great the other meats were. The chicken breast wrapped in bacon was super juicy and flavorful as was the pork and spiced chicken sausage. I also tried the chicken heart just to try something new and it was also pretty good. The chicken wings were also a hit. I didn’t try anything from the salad bar, but my compatriots said the pork meatballs were also fantastic!

Overall the meats are great albeit some of the steak was overcooked, however the value for this meal was excellent. With tip, I paid $21 for nearly 1.4 pounds of various meats. Worth a try if you’re in the area and I suspect we’ll be coming back when our next carnivore craving hits!“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“Delicious, fast service. My husbands childhood spot..“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“We had such a great meal here! We started with the soup with pineapple, tofu, and shrimp rice wraps, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. For our entrees, we ordered the steak banh mi and the beef pho, and both were perfect.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a truly great Vietnamese meal. I usually get banh mi in Malden, but they never feel like a full sandwich, and my favorite pho place that I loved for years closed. I’m so happy to have found a new spot that I can look forward to going back to. Everything was tasty, satisfying, and exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend!“

“My boyfriend and I love it here! When the staff learned it was his birthday they went all out with taking care of us. The staff are so kind and want you to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“My plate of food was 🥘 good but too expensive .“

“BEST thai we have in Waltham! Very nice staff. Been ordering from them for many years. Never one complaint. Great art work to admire too!“

“I give it 4 stars clean and friendly staff.“

“Hands down the best Chinese food in Waltham! Delivery is fast and food arrives hot and well packaged. Crab rangoons, chicken fingers, egg rolls, boneless spare ribs, wonton soup, fried rice, lo mein, peking ravioli, general gau's chicken, and beef/chicken teriyaki skewers are among our routine orders. They are all soooo good. Have never eaten at the restaurant, always done delivery.“

“Delicious Mexican and Guatemalan food. We ordered chicken fajitas and drinks. The flavors were great, but chicken was dry. Huge serving sizes and plates can be shared. Chips and salsa complimentary

Very chill vibe on the restaurant. Patio dining available when weather is right. No dogs allowed anywhere (not even on patio)“

“Best Mexican, Salvadorean and Guatemalan food I've had so far within a hour radius. We got the fajita tejanas and the gordita (pollo) very flavorful, meats were soft and butter like, good cuts. Tortillas are homemade. I was the only white person here which is a sign that it's authentic or close to it. Will be dreaming of this. Seems like they have dancing at some point, and they have two bars. Great portions.

Parking: Plenty of free parking in a lot.“

“Honestly has been my go to for the past 3 years. This place slaps every time I get it. Prices are great, portion sizes are generous, and taste is good. Highly recommend the pork fried rice. Obviously not something mind blowing but, for the price, they don’t skimp on the meat and you can really taste the wok hei. Also one of the few places open past midnight so great for college students.“

“Would go to Moe’s over Chipotle any day. Chipotle is so overrated that you almost don’t think of other options. Got the veggie burrito and bowl. They were both excellent! Love that I could add olives and pickled jalapeños to my food. Highly recommend!“

“Our party of 6 had an excellent belated-valentines day dinner this past weekend. Our server Danny was so attentive and personable. He kept the drinks and laughs coming! All the food was fantastic and came out quickly. We will definitely be back again!“

“I ordered through Uber Eats from here, and I liked the food! The wings could be a little crispier, but they tasted good! The fries come with a lot of seasoning, but they could also be a little crispier. Overall, not a bad place to get dinner from!“
