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.“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“It's a cool experience, overpriced for sure but it's not like your gonna go a lot. Definitely worth the experience. We saw Mean Girls, not really my thing but there wouldn't be many plays that would be I guess, it was mostly a treat for my wife and her visiting daughter.“

“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“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“Dined on our anniversary and were greeted with a congratulatory card and glass of champagne. Our server, Lauren, was a rock star. We couldn't decide on a bottle of wine to order and she brought three samples for us to try, which made the decision easy. The food was excellent and you must try the Brussel sprouts appetizer. Save room for desert and don't skip the crème brûlée!“

“Ebony was an outstanding waitress, one of the best waitresses we have ever had. I like the way she made us feel comfortable and special as a matter of fact when I go back there again I'm gonna ask for her. She 100% cares about her customers also the manager came by to see if everything was OK. I said my lamb chops was a cooked too much and he offered to take it back and bring me a new one which I accepted. It was outstanding and delicious.  We don't always get such good service for other restaurants thank you“

“The sushi options here include the common rolls, but also a wide selection of interesting special rolls with a generous portion of contents in each roll. The price is really reasonable for the quality and amount of food offered, and the fish is always very fresh tasting.“

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

“There is nothing else like Ledo's Pizza. The sauce is a little sweet, the crust is a little flaky. Their ingredients are fresh and healthy. The service is always fair and kind. There is a reason why people out of state always beg me to bring them some Ledos when I visit.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The $36 weekend buffet (Saturday & Sunday, 11 AM–3 PM) is wonderful, featuring over 50 authentic and delicious small dishes. The only disappointment was the fried eggplant with salted egg yolk. If you prefer larger portions, they also offer their regular menu.“

“If you love great beer, sports, and top-tier pizza, I highly recommend checking this place out. I visited to watch the NBA Finals, and the atmosphere was fantastic and the service was excellent.

Their pizza is absolutely delicious, and their beer options are delightful with so many different flavors to choose from. They also have a super clever setup where the beers come in pairs, which is a really great touch.

If you are looking for the ultimate spot to catch a game and grab a bite, this is it. I highly recommend Pub Dog and will definitely be back!“

“Thanks for making our Thanksgiving Dinner!“

“Biscuits are fluffy... the gravy could use some seasoning but it's nicely executed“

“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!“

“The best pizza and wings ever“

“We had such a great experience! Our server, Bryan was amazing. He were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The service was excellent, and we never felt rushed or forgotten about. He definitely made our dining experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Variety of food, good service.“

“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! ?“

“I really enjoy plnt burger especially their fries, cheeseburger, and chicken nuggets. Super reliable and if you have an account you get rewards and discounts a lot which is nice. Would recommend if you enjxoy vegan fast food like me! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-14“

“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.😋“

“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!“

“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! 😊“

“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!“

“LH is a pretty chill place to get a good steak. Our server was AWESOME. Even though there was a small issue with the order, our server was proactive and corrected everything within minutes. Excellent communication and follow through. Will return.“

“My family and I frequent this restaurant and we are always pleased with the food and the service is good as well. We went a couple of weeks ago as a family and had arrived right at 9 to the doors being locked. There were people inside and no signs on the door to say they were closing early. We thought it was odd and frustrating because the posted close time was 10 p.m. we will go back but this was extremely irritating and no one came out to say anything to us.“

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

“Five stars for Frisco and the Reckless Shepherd Brew Pub! The Mushroom/Truffle Oil Pizza and Chef Salad were excellent! Super staff. We also enjoyed Trivia Night with family members during our visit to Columbia, Maryland. Easy parking; spacious; casual environment; lots of screens for entertainment. Indoor/outdoor seating.“

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

“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!“

“Great food and service. Setup catering for lunches for the first time with them and couldn't be more pleased with everything. An absolutely pleasure to work with!“

“MY FAVORITE SUSHI SPOT!!! i beg my husband to take me to get sushi there or pick some up for me when he’s coming home from work. we live about 1 hour from there but it’s worth the trip. the people there are very kind. sushi is very fresh, good amount of portions and delicious. the price is not bad at all.“
