50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Bethesda

“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“

“This place is awesome ! Good food, great staff, beautiful atmosphere. You can tell that they put time , love, and care into their dishes and cocktails. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Medium Rare features steak frites (or mushrooms with frites) and some desserts- that's it.

The price is appropriate- you get nice, crusty bread, salad, and 2 helpings of steak frites.

The food quality is good. However, one must be partial to mustard because the salad dressing is extremely mustard forward, and so is the gravy on the steak frites.

It's a cute concept and the ambiance reflects this. Some cheeky art alongside the children's drawings up on the walls. The restrooms refer to Pepe and Penelope from Loony Tunes and in the ladies room one can listen (and perhaps learn) some flirty French phrases.

The service was a mixed bag. Our main server wasn't very engaged with our table. Despite the fact that we had gift bags on the table (perhaps a clue that we were celebrating a birthday) she didn't ask whether we were celebrating. I had also marked the Open Table reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, but that wasn't acknowledged at all. Other tables were celebrated while we were dining, so I guess those patrons directly asked for the celebratory gesture of a sparkler in their sundae/cake.

Our server also wasn't too interested in keeping our beverages full, or in bringing extra hot fudge when we asked for it with our sundae.

However, our steak did arrive at the right temperature for each of us, and they brought the steak frites refills at the EXACT perfect timing (and the refills were hot and perfect).

Medium Rare is a fun restaurant with good food at a good price- we'll return.“

“A breakfast restaurant can provide a comfortable setting for traditional morning meals, coffee, sandwiches, and other daytime options. A varied menu allows different preferences to be accommodated, while efficient service is especially important during busy morning hours. Compared with a quick grab-and-go option, a full breakfast restaurant provides a more relaxed dining environment. Fresh preparation, reasonable portions, and a comfortable atmosphere all contribute to a more enjoyable experience for casual morning dining.“

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“My daughter recently moved to the area. After a long day of cleaning and unpacking boxes we ordered pizza for dinner. This is the BEST pizza! The crust was perfect. It was not greasy. It was sliced perfectly-easy to pick up. Location was easy to find and service was SUPER friendly! I am looking forward to eating here again when I’m in town!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“Please bring back the family meal!!!“

“Yep:P it was very good the food the ppl and the reset urs for“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“Awesome juices!! Greta customer service as well. Will be back!“

“Thank you,Great food with very nice and friendly staff. Love this Lilit cafe“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

“This is a cute tapas restaurant in the middle of Bethesda. The servers are very friendly. Among the tapas, we enjoyed the chorizo, shrimp, and lamb chops (which was tasty but not tender). The ceviche could have been better. It did not have enough fish with some of the pieces being chewy. The chef recommended white wine was decent but there was not much of a bouquet. We also ordered the flan, which was excellent. It helped finishing the night in a high note. Overall, it was a good experience. It seems they are usually open late for dinner.“

“The service was excellent“

“😍Love Love Fish Taco Wildwood! Miss you! Hurry back!“

“best staff best ramen my peace“

“I go to this Cava at Bethesda Row fairly often and the service, primarily from the FANTASTIC manager Manuel is what truly keeps me coming back. Thank you to the phenomenal staff of Cava Bethesda Row!“

“Hello Sir, I accept your proposal.“

“Delicious froyo with lots of flavors and toppings! For each two-flavor station, there’s one in the middle that’s a swirl of both flavors. There is a variety of toppings, including fresh fruits, syrups, whipped cream, chocolates, candies and gummies, and oreos. My favorite flavor is the triple chocolate. Their taro flavor is quite unique too. Would love to come again!“

“Great Indian-Nepalese restaurant in Bethesda. Ordered the chicken Biryani along with Chili chicken and garlic naan. The Biryani was well prepared and fresh. The chili chicken had an abundance of flavor. It wasn't too spicy either. Our server was very kind and gracious. Will come back next time I'm between Baltimore and DC.Best food and best service“

“This was the worst service ever here and I have not been back since the last bad service..I took a friend here from Philly and took forever to get waited on. appetizer was not fully cooked.Pizza came out.... my pasta never made it out. never heard a word from the manager ..how sad. male employees were constantly occupying the men's room...the waitress is the only one what was apologetic..my friend from Philly was not impressed and I left mad and disappointed. my third time with this location.

“The reason I recommend this restaurant is because the environment, service and facilities of this restaurant are very good!“

“Delicious, serious, fast, tasty. And they donate their day-old bagels to food pantries & shelters!“

“The grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole comes with french fries. It was delicious.“

“Really nice homy spot for ramen. Used to be a go to but something changed when they rebranded to their current name. The broth and other food hasn’t been quite as good as it used to be and the menu options have changed slightly. I hope they regain their footing so it becomes as good as it was when it was Zao Stamina.“

“Delicious food, resonable price for Bethesda, and even better service. The restaurant is clean and the decor is updated. If you need dairy-free Indian food, the staff will go out of your way to make food with coconut milk instead of cow milk. There are also a number of gluten-free items on the menu. They can either serve heavily-buttered roti or roti without butter. Both options are delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The Maryland Crab dip was the 💣!!!! Everything we tried was delicious!!! Server was fantastic!!! Great atmosphere!!!“

“Great experience at this restaurant!

Kind service, good food, quality side dishes. Everything was served piping hot, which was a huge plus. Taste wise, all of the dishes were a bit on the milder end. Not a good or bad thing. Just a personal preference thing.

It's a bit pricey, but I can't complain too much because the food was delicious.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“It's always so clean and friendly! Love the smoothies too.“

“I have been multiple times, food is great but I am so disappointed that they don’t do belly dancing anymore. I wonder if they could do a small cover charge to help cover costs if that is the reason they don’t have belly dancers anymore.“

“Great dogs and beer selection. Cheese fries were also delicious. Would recommend to try this spot if in Bethesda, MD.“

“always consistently good food“

“Back to the scene of Lan’s and my first date!“

“southern and northern Italian specialty foods. Chef Ettore the best!“

“I had a lovely memorable experience at Chopt in Bethesda MD. Tracy’s customer service; beyond superb, her ability to pay attention to details and understand what the customer needs was almost telekinetic. Tracy was warm respectful and attentive. My wrap was perfect thanks to her recommendations. High five to your work ethics and good energy. When it comes down to recommending this Chopt Bethesda branch I say Heck yea!“

“I had the lunch today and the variety of dishes and the tastiness of the food were excellent. Highly recommend this great Indian restaurant.“

“I've always had a positive dining experience at Kadhai, been coming here for probably a decade now. Tried their lunch buffet for the first time today. Delicious okra and lentils, creamy and flavorful butter chicken, generous offerings for a very reasonable cost.“

“the food food, the taste taste, the service, the ambiance just impeccable, my God!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“great food.Love everything in the menu.“

“Love the coffee so much, but only thing that bothers me is that they charge you $1.50 for non dairy milk in 2026, and their drinks are already overpriced compared to all of the other coffee spots, so my simple small iced lattes end up being $10 every time. Also there can be quite a wait time and confusion/friction on where to stand in line and who to order with.“

“Still smiling after an unforgettable birthday dinner at Trattoria Sorrento in Bethesda! Celebrated with my family—and the 3 generations of family behind the scenes who crafted one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The veal ravioli bolognese was out of this world—homemade, heartfelt, and absolutely delicious. Huge thanks to the Trattoria Sorrento family for making it so special. If you’re looking for authentic Italian with real soul, this is the spot. Grateful for the food, the warmth, and the memories. 🇮🇹🍷🎉 #TrattoriaSorrento #BethesdaEats #ItalianFoodLove #BirthdayDinnerDoneRight #FamilyTradition #VealRavioliDreams“

“Four of us stopped by Silver Diner in Bethesda just for milkshakes, and they were excellent. I ordered the Chunky Munky, and it was absolutely amazing—thick, creamy, and packed with banana and Oreo pieces in every sip. It was one of the best milkshakes I’ve had in a long time. Everyone in our group enjoyed their shakes, and the service was friendly and quick. If you’re in the area and craving a great milkshake, I definitely recommend giving the Chunky Munky a try!“

“Tried Kusshi in Bethesda recently and overall had a really good experience. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere without feeling too loud or crowded, and the location in Woodmont Triangle makes it a nice spot for dinner before walking around downtown after. Sushi tasted fresh and presentation was really well done. You can tell they pay attention to quality instead of just rushing plates out.

We ordered a mix of rolls, appetizers, and drinks and honestly everything came out pretty quickly. The crispy rice and specialty rolls were probably my favorite part of the meal. Staff was friendly and checked in often without hovering too much which I appreciated.

Prices are definitely on the higher side compared to casual sushi spots, but that’s kind of expected for the area and quality level. Overall a really solid place for date night, dinner with friends, or just when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale than average.“

“Best pizza ever! & I know pizza, I'm from New York!“
