50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Columbia

“Royal Taj is our go-to restaurant for special occasions, like our 20th Wedding Anniversary last week. It never fails to deliver excellence. Because it was a very special dinner, we decided to try something different. So my wife ordered the Lobster Malabar and I ordered the Grilled Halibut. Both were very good, especially the Halibut which was covered in an outstanding Corn Relish. To top off the evening our excellent server, Joshi, brought us a slice of very tasty cheesecake with a lit candle on top. As usual we cannot rave loud and often enough about Royal Taj and it is all due to the GM Binda, who is very friendly, charismatic and truly sets the tone of excellence at Royal Taj.“

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.“

“Bar none the best sushi in Howard county. We’ve been steadies there for 15 plus years. Only wish we’d discovered it sooner. Highly recommend!!!“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“Good and not expensive like the food trucks that come around“

“We had a great time at the Donna Summer show. The reason I gave a 4 for atmosphere was because we were so crowded due to the construction. I was bumped numerous times by people getting up and down for their food. However, the show was phenomenal! The food was good, but I wish it would have been hotter.“

“I enjoyed both of my visits over this past weekend. The food was delicious and the waitstaff was great. Can’t wait to make my way back so that I can go again.“

“Because of the closeness to home our sons had taking us for Dinner it was GREAT Place! my husband and myself go there occasionally!“

“The fish was amazing and the jazz room is the perfect vibe for a first date or a cocktail with best friend! Absolutely loved it“

“Always the best and staff are all super nice!“

“Huge Thank You to Bon Fresco - WLMS PTSA ordered 100 lunches for our staff this past Friday. The owner bent over backwards to accommodate us, the lunches were ready on time and delicious. If you haven’t tried it, check it out - my favorite is the London Broil sandwich. Delicious. #shoplocalhoco“

“7 different people and 7 different plates- all absolutely delicious 😉including 3 different desserts ❤️“

“I don’t typically write reviews, good or bad, however our experience at Xenia on Oct 12th has changed my mind. We were in the area from Boston just for the night and learned of Xenia through our hotels concierge. It was amazing and probably one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The food was outstanding and prepared beautifully. We had the Spanikopita, Greek salads, shrimp saganaki, and lamb riblets. All very tasty and expertly prepared. What really did it though was the on point service offered by Mary (Maris). Her efficiency, attention to details, thoughtful presentation of the menu, was a 15 out of 10! She is a super star! We were delightfully surprised by the restaurant’s generous hospitality when they sent us a dessert sampler compliments of the house because we were out of state first timers. I only wish weren’t 5+ hours away, as we would be fast regulars for sure!“

“Ordered the army breakfast. Eggs were over done, sausage was under cooked and the entire meal was cold. Could have had a better breakfast at a homeless shelter. First and last time.“

“Haven't been here in around 3-4 years but was pleasantly surprised by the food here. Tried the Chilean Seabass and the pork chop and enjoyed them. Ambiance inside was nice for a group setting. Our server was very kind and was very accommodating for my Mothers birthday. Only gripe I had was a 22% service fee for parties of 6 or more which is a little higher than standard.“

“Blown away by how great our event was. Long time patron moved to Florida 6 years ago. Looked for a venue to host a surprise 65th bday party for my wife with 35 attendees. I could not have been more pleased! Great menu, food drink and service were top notch. If I could give 100 ⭐’s I would. Jeanine and her team were fantastic! Highly highly highly recommend!!“

“The food was piping hot when it arrived at the table. 2 General Tso's plates, Gyoza, and Shumai. The Shumai wasn't that great, but that was due to personal issues with food textures. However, the the items were absolutely great! The General Tso's chicken could be spicier, but that's also a personal preference. 5/5 across the board.“

“We were on our way back to MA from a week in NC and googled Italian restaurants near us- being outside of Boston, Italian food is a staple for us. The food here was amazing- the service was outstanding and the “first time” dessert delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for great food and service for a very reasonable price!“

“We dined here for their lunch buffet and the food was amazing and extremely fresh. Everything was really tasty and a great value. Highly recommend!“

“Shoutout to David at Ledo Pizza for going above and beyond, even right before closing. David's kindness and customer service really stood out. People like him deserve every success. If I had a customer facing business, I would poach you in a heartbeat. I hope life takes you to exceptional places, David!“

“Absolutely true to its name. House of India is the place to be if you appreciate authentic Indian cuisine and excellent service. It’s not only having a dinner , it’s having a memorable experience. Loved everything about it. The food is exceptionally great, the service is outstanding. The owners under new management goes above and beyond to make every guests feel welcome. Highly recommend this place.“

“Here's to the highest stars available (20), and then some. Today, I introduced my son to Mango Lassie, Chicken Tika Masala, Nan. He was hesitant to come at first and now he is so impressed with the food and service. Thanks so much. I hope your restaurant grows and grows.“

“everything was perfect. chicken and lamb tikka masala superb, naan bread great, and family service is incredible“

“Definitely recommend having reservations on the weekend as it was quiet crowded. We parked in the deck for free and walked over. We arrived about 10 min early and checked in and the hostess commented she was getting ready to call us. That was weird when we were early. The tables are closely packed. You are definitely sitting shoulder to shoulder with the table next to you. If you can, try and get a booth for more space. The food was excellent. We all tasted and loved the Peking duck. The shrimp and scallop in garlic was great. Mongolian beef was tasty. The combination fried rice was good. All 4 of us enjoyed our visit. We would 100% go back, but probably try a weeknight when it was less crowded.“

“The homemade bread is delicious! I purchase this every week for my family. It’s a fresh and healthier option for my developing children. I would highly recommend!“

“My first time here - my husband had been many times before. I ordered the Dog Bite (1/2 hard apple cider & 1/2 house stout) and he ordered the Bluetick Hound (1/2 blueberry dog and 1/2 hard apple cider), we then shared the garlic sticks (so many mini pizza slices!). He ordered the Atomic Dog and I ordered the Alaskan Husky.“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“Overall this is a good place to have Happy Hour. I am super disappointed that the charcuterie board was taken off the menu. It was the best! Bring it back please!“

“We recently celebrated my parents' 70th anniversary at Kings Contrivance Restaurant, and I can't express enough how wonderful the experience was. The entire evening was perfect, from the warm and inviting atmosphere to the impeccable service. Richard, in particular, was outstanding—he answered all of my questions and ensured that everything was just right for our family gathering. The food was outstanding—every dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, making our celebration even more special. My parents were thrilled to have the entire family together for this milestone event, and they couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful the restaurant was. If you're looking for a place to host a special occasion, I highly recommend Kings Contrivance Restaurant. It was the perfect setting for a memorable night that our family will cherish forever.“

“The best pizza and wings ever“

“We came in on a whim & so glad we did. We were seated immediately & greeted warmly by an amazing waitress. Food was brought out quickly & was such a good serving size. Delicious eggs Benedict & the hollindaise was amazing! My fiancé had the biscuits & gravy & was so happy with his food. Excellent portions & such a wonderful place. Can’t wait to come back again!! Highly recommend!!“

“I’ve dined in this location many, many times, it’s one of our favorites. I’ve had many different servers. But tonight we came with a party of 8 for the first time as a big group for my daughter’s birthday & we were served by London. I could tell she was very busy but she stayed with smile and positive attitude the entire time & everything was perfect. I didn’t have a chance to tell her in person that she did fantastic so hopefully she will get to see this. I know the rest of my family has no sense of urgency when ordering food but she stayed patient & kind the entire time. Shout out to London & every other fantastic server we’ve had at this location.“

“Variety of food, good service.“

“Food is awesome. Taste great bought a good flavor. I would recommend this.“

“God, the fries were fantastic! But the serving size was so small. The burgers were small, but delicious… And I got a bacon cheeseburger for my non-vegetarian husband and he enjoyed it. I’d go back, but it’s pretty pricey. Updated from previous review on 2026-10-17“

“This review is strictly about Oktoberfest. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was nice. The staff was great. However, the music was off for the occasion. There's a DJ playing R&B and Hip Hop when it's supposed to be an Oktoberfest. I was hoping for and expecting more German themed entertainment. So that kind of killed it for me.“

“Good beer abd good food. It's similar to other pubs in the area. Their collection of beers is pretty good and there's something for everyone. The food is better than at other similar locations. Other locations give you more appetizers; here you have access to a more complete menu. The food is also fairly priced, which made it more comfortable to order multiple items along with out beer. Ordered 4 beers and 3 entrees between 2 people and paid $71 before tax and tip. You can order at the bar or at your table via a QR code, can also pay directly from your phone. Staff seemed pretty relaxed, which helped make the atmosphere overall be pretty laid back. Saw a lot of people actually enjoy conversation without being obnoxiously loud even with sports bent displayed ay the bar.

Will definitely come back.“

“FIRST TIME AT THIS PLACE. HAD ORDERED THE CHICKEN PHO. ALL I CAN SAY IS DELICIOUS !!!!!“

“The Nordstrom Cafe has the absolute best service! The entire staff is always friendly, accommodating and the food is always fresh & taste amazing! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Always a great experience! 5/5 stars! ?“

“Food was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Easy & convenient place to stop for a bite.“

“I was in and out in a matter of minutes and able to get a variety of things. Very delicious.“

“creme brulee amazing! wait staff, amazing!! never a question about if I would go back...yes yes yes!!“

“We been to An Loi a lot of time, and we would say it’s a pretty good place to dine in.

We ordered:
1. Bun Cari Ga (6.75/10) it was a bit too spicy, not as thick/not much coconut flavor like how it’s supposed to taste like.

2. Pho #9 (8/10) soup was good, toppings were enough, we think they changed their chef or it just doesn’t taste like a 10/10 anymore but still good.

3. Com Bi Cha Heo (8/10) with tomatoes rice so it was very good, full toppings, BUTT they didn’t cut the pork for us 😭 so it took time to cut the porklet.

4. Hu tieu Ga Maryland (8/10) soup was good, a lot of noodles, only came with 1 medium size thigh (not that much protein)

Would definitely come back again and again :) but probably won’t order Bun Cari Ga anymore :(“

“Big portions & awesome tasting food. Come from Harford County once a week & look forward to eating here.😋“

“We've used Apple Spice for our work lunches multiple times over the past couple of years, and the experience has been consistently excellent. The online group ordering system is incredibly simple and a huge time-saver. It completely eliminates the hassle of collecting cash and dealing with messy, hard-to-read orders, which ensures everyone gets exactly what they want.

Beyond the seamless ordering process, the food itself is a major highlight. It's always delicious and fairly priced, and everyone on our team is always thrilled with what they get in their lunch boxes. The staff I've interacted with has also been friendly and professional, making the entire process a pleasure. I highly recommend Apple Spice for any group catering needs.“

“Mofe was such a great server. We had a lot of asks and Mofe was a patient young man. We hadn’t been to the restaurant in well over a decade and the food was great. The 3 courses for $30 was clutch, so my guests got that. I ordered chicken and broccoli off the menu and it was delicious. We will be going back soon.“

“I took my dad tonight for Father’s Day and it was very busy. We were told an hour and half wait so we waited. From the crew at the reservation desk to the lady who took is us to our table and Evan our waiter everything was awesome. Even with being crazy busy service was great and food was great. I highly recommended Texas Roadhouse Columbia“

“Some of the most amazing and accommodating staff in the Columbia area. The staff here at Uncle Julio’s go above and beyond when it comes to your evening out and family’s needs. I personally highly recommend dining here. Beautiful and quiet patio area for you to sit. Indoor seating is just as authentic as well. All food is made from scratch, fresh daily. Table-side guacamole is an experience you must indulge in especially for you avocado lovers! Not to mention their chocolate piñata that is perfect for any occasions! So interactive and delicious. 10/10! Don’t just take my word for it but go try it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed. Last but not least you can set up rewards with them and earn so many things through their points system! 😊“

“The food was excellent. It came out in a timely manner and the waitress was very efficient.“
