13 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Wellesley

“Cafe Mangal and Chef Mehmet are the best!! What a wonderful foodie establishment with a great vibe and intimate ambience. We hosted a private event dinner there recently and the evening was a big hit across the board...delicious Turkish menu (including GF options), great service, and memorable setting. Can't recommend the place highly enough!“

“Not only was the Baba , Peach Gazpacho and chicken Shastish delish , but Chef David took the time to chat with us in 100 degree weather and served us a sample of his staffs lunch he was preparing for them today ...his moms fav dish when he was a kid... THE MESSY SANDWICH ! Homemade Crispy BLT , heirloom tomato with a hit of peanut butter . Hope he puts it on the menu someday but more importantly know he's "the real deal" born and raised New England cool, creative and genuine - cheers to you Chef David !!!“

“Yama in Wellesley is one of those places that quietly steals your heart. Warm, family-friendly, and refreshingly unpretentious, it’s the kind of restaurant that makes you slow down, relax, and actually enjoy your meal.

First of all—bring your own wine. Not only is it welcomed, but they’ll open and serve it for you at no charge, which already feels like a small act of hospitality magic. 🍷

Now, the food: the Fire Dragon is a must—bold, flavorful, and just the right amount of exciting. The noodles are excellent, perfectly cooked, and comforting in that “I’ll be thinking about this tomorrow” kind of way.

One of the hidden charms of Yama is the seating at the back of the restaurant, where tables are carved into a cozy nook. It feels intimate and inviting, like you’ve discovered a secret corner meant only for those in the know. A perfect spot to linger, talk, laugh, and enjoy truly good food.

Yama is a hidden gem for locals, elegant without trying, fun without being loud, and consistently satisfying. A place you return to not just for the food, but for how it makes you feel—welcome, relaxed, and already planning your next visit. 💫“

“I ordered online at the new Wellesley location, not knowing that the restaurant was temporarily closed for the day. However, the staff opened up just to make my sandwich and were very friendly. The grilled cheese was delicious, big, and fairly priced. Will be coming back to try the Mac and cheese!“

“Fiorellas should more restaurants and takeout food with more food options. Special in wellsley all mass.“

“I deliver to Peter's Pizza and I thought I would share my experiences first of all great people The guys that work there Will and the owner awesome people. every time I go there before I leave they insist on feeding me which is awesome because it's usually lunch time by the time I get there laugh out loud. all around good people great pizza and it's a pleasure to deliver there.“

“Service was amazing. Food was even better. Friendliest staff of any restaurant I’ve ever been to. I live in California and I’m coming back!“

“I love Indian food and Singh's Cafe has the best Indian food in the state. They had stopped their luncheon buffet, they have recently resumed the buffed. I can't tell you how happy I was.. Everything is great. The Tiki masala, lamb, vegetable dishes are incredible. The samosas are killer.. There isn't a bad dish there.. The atmosphere is warm and there has never been a wait. There is plenty of street parking right in front. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, and the prices are quite reasonable, $15 for the all you can eat lunch buffet. I always get some to bring back to my wife, she also thinks it's the best Indian food.“

“Although part of a global chain, Caffè Nero did a nice job of capturing the distinct history of this Wellesley Hills station designed by architect H.H. Richardson. The building was completed in 1886, and after the station was decommissioned the space was various retail outlets until Nero took over in 2016.

And the food and drink? Relative to other bakeries and coffee shops in Wellesley (there are a lot!) the coffee is good, and the baked goods are workmanlike. An added plus is the large parking lot for the train next door, free on weekends.

I really like the old photos showing the building and interior spaces on the walls. It’s fun to compare “then and now” while you sip a coffee.

P.S. This was the last of nine stations that H.H. Richardson designed for the Boston and Albany Railroad.“

“Best sushi and great service.“

“Tough to choose; everything was great.. Delicious food, amazing cocktails..“

“I’m here with my mom we from Puerto Rico; we came almost 5 years or more and I’m here celebrating my birthday great food and great place. I’m definitely coming back.“

“I’ve been coming to this Sweetgreen location for the past 2 years, and it’s always a great experience. Ale is almost always there when I visit, and she consistently welcomes me with a smile and makes an amazing salad every time. Thank you, Ale, for your excellent customer service and positive attitude—you make this place even better!“
