50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Aspen Hill

“Mezeh in Gaithersburg, Maryland is wonderful. Generous portions, the greatest variety of superb vegetable toppings, and the best falafel. Manager Mayra and employees are friendly, helpful, efficient.“

“I want to put this review specifically because most employees don’t get the recognition they deserve when it’s positive.
I want to thank Daniel for being a very welcoming and friendly when taking my order. He has one of the most inviting attitudes I’ve had since coming here, especially in this heat wave. Thankfully it wasn’t busy enough and he got straight to my order as soon as I paid. I sincerely hope he gets the recognition he deserves!“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“Dalia's Falafel catered my husband's big bash birthday party last weekend. It was the best catering experience we have ever had, and I want everyone within a 100 mile radius of downtown Bethesda to know about this fantastic establishment located at 7750 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda, 20814. Ben, Cody and Kevin provided more than generous portions of outstanding food as well as practical support and guidance on preparing, presenting, serving, and storing their delicious trays of salads, sauces and, of course, falafels. They made the entire experience simple and easy. The value of the service we received was far greater than the fee that we paid -- truly! Please don't hesitate to consider Dalia's Falfel, a unique party option, for your next celebration“

“wonderful small family owned Thai restaurant in Washington DC. the food is excellent and the service is great.“

“The service exceeds all expectations! We had a very large party of 16 who were so engaged in conversations that the servers had to ask many times who had what, and each time they did so with a wonderful, kind spirit! The food was fantastic even considering the small kitchen! Even the restroom was immaculate! It was almost a 2 hour trip for us to get there but we'll worth the trip! 5 we'll earned stars!“

Seating is limited, but it’s easy to take the food outside and eat it there.

Vegetarian options: Vegan menu with lots of gluten-free options.

Dietary restrictions: Great assortment of vegan food, which is easy to make gluten-free if the dish isn’t already gluten-free.“

“One of MD best dinners. This place would go head to head with any of NJ establishments.“

“Exactly the kind of Indian place you want. Not fancy or overpriced, but elegant and well priced prepared curries and other classic dishes. There are so many trendy and hyper-stylized Indian places in DC, but if you’re looking for a comforting curry with great service, don’t look any further! Can’t recommend this great neighborhood spot highly enough.“

“first time here, the staff was very welcoming. food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more items“

“They have a wide variety of healthy food. Especially, their smoothies. They are out of this world and healthy for you. You need to check this place out.“

“There are steakhouses that sell beef, and there are steakhouses that sell ritual. Medium Rare in Bethesda understands this distinction with the calm certainty of a Parisian waiter who has seen three revolutions and still refuses to split the check.

You arrive thinking you’re getting dinner. What you’re really getting is doctrine: bread warm enough to make diplomacy possible, a salad dressed with enough mustard to wake the dead, and then the famous procession — steak sliced thin beneath that green peppercorn sauce that lands on the table like artillery support. The fries arrive in impossible abundance, followed shortly by the second helping, because Medium Rare subscribes to the old French principle that restraint is for Calvinists and people with no appetite.

The room hums with Bethesda ambition: lobbyists, exhausted consultants, first dates, silver-haired couples who’ve been arguing since the Carter administration. Everyone united beneath the banner of red meat and clarified butter. Glasses of wine appear and disappear with military efficiency. Somewhere a server announces “second round of fries” with the moral gravity of a cathedral bell.

But the restaurant’s greatest flourish may be hidden in the bathroom, where French lessons adorn the walls like graffiti from a civilized empire. You stand there memorizing useful phrases while washing peppercorn sauce from your hands. “Où est la bibliothèque?” “Je voudrais un café.” It is perhaps the only restaurant in Maryland where you can leave knowing both how to order steak frites and how to ask directions in Lyon.

And somehow it works. The whole enterprise feels faintly absurd, deeply confident, and unmistakably charming — like an American trying very hard to become French and accidentally succeeding for two hours at a time.

Medium Rare does not pretend to be subtle cuisine. It is abundance, repetition, butter, noise, and confidence. In Bethesda, that may be the closest thing to authenticity there is.“

“i love this place! Great vibes, such a wonderful aura. Eli took care of my party's every need. So professional! 10/10 will definitely be back!“

“I recently went for brunch and the French toast was out of this world — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. The whole experience was such a vibe. Great atmosphere, beautiful presentation, and bold flavors that really stand out. Definitely adding this to my go-to brunch spots!“

“Delicious food and excellent quality! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They took the time to help me stay on track with my calorie-counting diet and made sure I was meeting my protein goals. Great customer service and healthy options—I highly recommend this place!“

“If you’re planning your first visit to this ramen spot, I recommend going on a quiet weekday evening to avoid long waits. The host is incredibly friendly and accommodating, which sets a great tone for your experience.

I tried the classic shio ramen, a limited-run menu item, and found the broth flavorful with a good balance of toppings and protein for the price. My friend enjoyed the triple threat dish and praised it highly. While my protein was tender and well-cooked, it could have used a bit more flavor. Despite this, it was a solid tasting experience.

Overall rating: 4.3/5“

“The best diner in MOCO- period! 43 years and counting and I don’t need to ask why. Also, best home fries EVER!“

“Consistently delicious food (great fish), fun atmosphere, good service.“

“Damien and David was very polite and very professional. David gave a sample of the chicken and it was so delicious. I was offered to select the Harrissa Avocado. 😁 so amazing. I will refer friends and family too stop by and Cava for lunch and dinner.“

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!“

“Everything was perfect, the service, food and cocktails! Look forward to returning.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Overall Summary Review : 4.5 / 5

Great service, good music, fast food. Good food all around. Only dislike is the miso ramen. Didn't have as much new soul and deaf flavor that I was hoping for as I don't eat pork. And so I didn't end up eating the ramen and they were able to remove that from my check due to me not eating and liking it so that is why I rounded up to five out of five stars instead of having it 4. Worth trying has a large range of options.“

“Always the best food and the family that runs this restaurant is amazing. We like going places where you feel appreciated as a customer.“

“Great menu of food and drinks, well executed, and in a neighborhood locale… well-spaced outdoor seating.“

“Timber has fantastic pizza and great people! I end up there for lunch almost every Friday.“

“I came to try this bakery after seeing it promoted on Instagram as an authentic Asian-style bakery. I miss the Japanese bakeries I would frequent often when living in Japan a few years ago, and this one definitely brought back those memories. The interior is cute and on display were a variety of Asian-style baked goods and some minimal seating. I got the ube twist and melon pan. The ube twist was really delicious — I’d highly recommend it. The melon pan was disappointing; I expect a crunchy cookie crust on melon pan and this one was sticky and soft. The bread itself was super plush and soft and amazing, so it would be great if they could improve upon it with a crunchier cookie crust. The bread items were $3-4 each, so not the cheapest, but I was happy to support a local Asian bakery.“

“Excellent Cuban Food and great friendly staff.“

“Never thought I’d find Ethiopian Pizza until I came here. I ordered the Doro Wat Pizza ($40) and a Detox Smoothie ($10) and everything was great. The pizza was very flavorful and fhe detox smoothie was very refreshing, not sugary at all. The staff was very nice and clearly remembers his customers.

Will definitely return!“

“This was our first time at Spice Street. We were thoroughly impressed by the atmosphere and absolutely by the food! The staff was very friendly! We absolutely recommend this restaurant!!“
