50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Worcester

“Real review of a real situation. But I’d like to mention one thing before getting into it: the half pound lobster roll was absolutely delicious. The bread, lobster quality and quantity, and flavor were all high marks. Probably the best lobster roll in the region. I’ve tried them all. Or at least most. This lobster roll is delicious. And it has a true half pound feel. That aside… I ordered takeout. Half the order was incorrect and a clam chowder was missing. It happens. This place is so fantastic, however, they wanted to go way above and beyond to rectify the situation. I’m so impressed with Sole. And very thankful we have a super solid (actually excellent) seafood place right here in the Wu tang.“

“The server we had last night was the biggest jerk and should be fired. We left after being clearly discriminated by your staff. We’ve been coming here for years but will never be back after yesterday’s experience. Ricardo was a complete jerk and should not be in the restaurant business.“

“Sabrosa Venezuela catered a last minute event for us. They worked with me to provide a variety of foods for different allergies and restrictions. They offered wonderful advice and the food? Oh my god, everyone raved about how amazing the food was (and it was!). I cannot recommend this place enough, they are incredible.“

“The personal service is as amazing as the food!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Attended bridal shower and it was perfect from beginning to end. Everyone complemented the food, service was excellent and all flowed so smoothly. Will be back to try out the restaurant!“

“Today was my second time at the diner.... Today I decided to have the meatball sandwich which was great... More importantly, I took home some seafood stew... Warmed it up and had it for dinner, and it was absolutely delicious. you guys rock.“

“Had the most wonderful meal there. The people are so friendly and the place it spotlessly clean and has a peaceful atmosphere. I so wish it was right next door to my house. I'd go there every day, no lie!🥰“

“The food at Fatima's is absolutely delicious and very fresh. The owner is an amazing human being who is incredibly kind. My daughter loves a cake she makes, and Fatima was out of it on the day we were visiting the restaurant. I told the owner we would be back for cake on our next visit, when my daughter was home from college. The owner told me that there was no way my daughter was headed back to school without having her favorite cake. She made a special batch that morning, when she was not even open, in order for my daughter to enjoy it before she left. Both my daughter and I were in tears, we could not believe her incredible kindness. I hope this place succeeds greatly and is around for years to come! Fantastic service, incredible food, and kindness are a winning combination!“

“What a lovely experience. We showed up with a party of seven and despite it being crowded and busy, the very kind older woman was willing to scrap together some chairs and tables for us to sit as a family. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was awesome. Highly recommend dining here, but the place is small so I recommend calling ahead!“

“OMG! We just left a love fest of service and food! We loved the staff and chef, each so warm and accommodating! And it’s hard to know where to start with the food! The crème brûlée french toast was incredible, the bacon, smoky, and my chai was silky and had a perfect combo of spices. I had a spinach pie with a flaky pastry top, and others ordered a Brazilian couscous dish, a humongous omelete and a yummy veggie combo. Oh, and the smoothies? One Soursop and a mixed berry. On and on, but all to say we were very happy❣️“

“I came here today for the first time and can honestly say I’ve found a new favorite spot!!! Despite the busy atmosphere, we didn’t have to wait long for a table and the service was very fast! The food was amazing, the portions were generous, and the “Very Berry Grilled Cornbread” is a winner!!! Definitely coming back here ❤️“

“My friends and I had a great dinner last night and wanted to share that Angel provided exceptional service! Thank you!“

“Nice atmosphere, quiet, and enjoyable. Very good food and excellent service. Only thing missing is a liquor license.“

“Great dining experience, authentic Italian food and great service.“

“One Eleven is probably my favorite restaurant in Worcester; they provide an exceptional dining experience every time I go.

Food is always excellent, including steaks cooked perfectly...best filet I've ever had, and the creme brûlée is to die for. The staff is amazing as well; you typically have two servers working together, which makes for a smooth, personalized dining experience.“

“Sushi Miyazawa in Worcester is excellent! The sushi is fresh, beautifully made, and the flavors are well-balanced. I especially love the ume shiso and the toro maki :) A solid choice for anyone looking for sushi in the area, though you likely want to make a reservation of dining in!“

“Today I ordered the Monti Cristo Sandwich !!! OMG !!! It was So Delicious that I ate the whole thing . I just couldn't Stop Eating it . I also got one to take Home .

“Went for a solo dinner while in town for work. Sat at the bar - bartenders were great. Had a delicious Boulevardier off the seasonal cocktails menu and the muhamarra sandwich. I have never heard of it but it was awesome! I will definitely be back to order more off the menu!“

“One of my faves, & a go-to for taking out friends. A good deal on extra-large bottles of the excellent Singha Thai beer. Always a good experience.“

“I finally tried their viral Golden Shawarma and honestly, it did not disappoint! The flavor was incredible — every bite was so satisfying and full of taste. What also stood out to me was how clean and well-kept the place was. The atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely living up to the hype, and I’ll be coming back for more“

“I was in your establishment for the very first time today. The atmosphere was very pleasant, service was excellent and the food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable! I plan on returning sometime in the near future! 👍🏻“

“Good food and wonderful hosts“

“The most delicious sushi 🍣 Staff are friendly. New place has beautiful decor. My fav is the Kai roll. Drinks are fab too. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The food is so warm, comforting, and made with such care. The atmosphere is always festive. Employees and customers are always in a happy mood. The drinks are tasty, refreshing and full of spirit. The chips and salsa are a great start, but be careful not to devour them and spoil the appetite you'll need to tackle your main dish! You'll walk out extremely satisfied because of the wonderful food you consumed. But, you'll also be pleasantly surprised because Pepe's is the best bang for your buck in Worcester. Highly recommended!!!“

“The food is wonderful. The atmosphere of love, kindness, and caring for everyone is so welcoming especially in our country today.“

“Delicious food, very reasonable prices, wonderful owners!“

“Worcester Restaurant Week is wrapping up, so we headed to El Basha - Worcester, MA on Route 9. We began with hummus & lamb sambusik. He chose the $29.95 deal, featuring a Greek salad & beef port saiid, while I had a salad with kofta. The rice pudding dessert was delightful. Great food & service from Natalie!“

“Delicious pizza and conveniently located. The lady working us very nice! Definitely plan on coming back :)“

“I love this place so much. The food, vibe and staff are all I could ask for. so good, so relaxing, so friendly. 10/10. I especially love the Tiger Eye Maki, Mount Fuji rolls, Tuna Tataki and Oishi Teriyaki. The spicy maki rolls even give you four different fish options!!!“

“Real Greek food! Not “Americanized” for the non-Greeks! Efcharisto.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We celebrated our 35th anniversary and my husband’s 56th birthday at Joey’s Bar & Grill in Worcester, and it was perfect from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond — multiple people came by to thank us for coming, especially when they learned we had driven two hours to be there. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and made the night extra special. Dinner started with warm homemade bread and oil for dipping. Scott had the braised short ribs, I had the steak tips with grilled veggies — both were absolutely delicious. We ended by sharing the most incredible strawberry shortcake with homemade grilled biscuits, lemon curd, strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream (with a candle, of course!). 🍓✨ In a city with so many options, Joey’s was truly the best choice. We’ll definitely be back — even though it’s a two-hour drive, it’s absolutely worth it!“

“What a great Italian experience! One of Worcesters finest restaurants it has to offer.

VIA's location can easily be seen by its big golden lit up sign that can be seen at the highway. It is also on a street that is commonly known for it's restaurants in Worcester. The parking is good as long as you ate going after work hours and even if so there is street parking.

VIA's atmosphere feels authentic and modern Italian as it has dim lighting with candlelit atmosphere. This gives away to the brick and mortar style of the building which gives it more of a city Italian restaurant. The music was a bit all over the place from EDM to todays hits. Nothing vulgar but didn't set the mood properly. There was plenty of seating but understandable to have a reservation as the dining room (and outdoor 4 season porch) filled up very quickly. The booths were a bit small but can be moved for better adjustment. The bathrooms are in the kitchen walking past the fresh and housemade display of the gelato giving you a glimpse of what the kitchen is like.

The service was attentive and took care of every thing that made the experience that much better. Our server was friendly and didn't mind to have a small chat that wouldn't have impeded others experience. There was another server that went through and asked us if we needed things that our original server had already asked us. The servers were nice, respectable, and relatable.

Our drinks we had was the Old Fashioned Sweet Potato and the Raspberry Mojito. Both were good and not too strong so that the flavors came through nicely. The thing that made it a good experience for me was the asking of what bourbon I would like with my Old Fashioned. That is next level customer service without any additional cost for substitution.

The food we had was pretty good and worth going back again to try other items. We started off with the house made Ricotta with local honey. The ricotta was creamy, smooth, and easily spreadable. With a local dab of honey all on top of homemade bread toasted on one side made it perfect for a starter to the evening. The main course was pretty good also with the Chicken Parm and Chicken Piccata. The Chicken Parm had a perfect amount of sauce and cheese topping with the chicken itself being perfectly fried that the chicken was still moist. The Chicken Piccata was cooked all little to long and had a slight chew to it with the breading not being to present. The piccata sauce was not too buttery but didn't have to much lemon zest either. The sauce was good if you were able to get some from the bottom to have on the chicken. The capers and grape tomatoes are always a touch on the piccata that is needed. As for the noodles, they were fresh and tasted fantastic. For our dessert we had (of course) Tiramisu and Affagato. The Tiramisu was a good (little bit too much after dinner) portion. The lady fingers were not over soaked and the marscarpone was creamy. The coffee and rum flavors were very present throughout the dessert. As for the Affagato, 2 wonderful vanilla Gelato scoops with crumples of biscotti and with the Pirouline sticking out of the Gelato made the presentation amazing. With the espresso nice and warm and smells controlling the air around made a wonderful pour over the Gelato. The combination was nothing short of being a great affagato.

Overall, I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes and wines as VIA is what it means to have an Italian experience in the city of Worcester.“

“Best Diner in Worcester County by far. Favorite dish: the “Big Bully”. Standout item the “Italian toast.”“

“The menu offers a wide selection of high-quality dishes, and the smoothies are exceptional. The service is outstanding, and the food consistently meets the highest standards. I highly recommend this restaurant; you will surely be pleased.“

“I Give Aladdin 5 stars for several reasons! I have ate there and ordered food over a dozen times and each and every time the food is fresh and is the best authentic Iraqi food I have ever eaten! The owner is such a nice guy and has always went out of his way to be polite and accommodating in anyway!“

“I found Olo about a year ago when my spouse was in a nearby hospital. I had looked up “ best Neapolitan pizza near me”, and they were ranked very high. I came in and loved it! Now I’m Hooked! The wood fired pizza, the Detroit style And the pastas are amazing! Start with the burrata! It’s amazing! Just came back from having my bday there. So happy! Don’t forget Thursday is 3 for 30.00!“

“Whenever we go to Worcester, my friend and I come to the Pizza Factory. The calzone are so good, but I think I’m going to try the chicken pesto pizza the next visit. Such friendly management! Thank you!“
