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 .“

My daughter surprised me with dinner and a show here. The show was fantastic. Dinner was buffet style, and there's a large selection.
The show was fantastic. We saw Something Rotten, which had me laughing throughout the entire show. It was a very entertaining evening.“

“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“

“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.“

“Really special spot. Delicious food, wine, and cocktails. What stood out the most to me was the absolutely fantastic service. Hannah is probably the best server we have ever had. They make everyone celebrating a special occasion feel special. We will definitely be back.“

“Perfect date night! We arrived about 5pm for Happy Hour & pleasantly surprised by the many options. We each ordered the Sip & Flatbreads- lobster & avocado and tomato basil along with drinks- my hubby had the Cosmo and I had the Grapefruit Bliss. All was fantastic! The charcuterie board was also very tasty! We will definitely return.“

“WOW! This is the best deal in town for authentic Asian cuisine. Our party of 13 was welcomed warmly, served promptly, sampled dishes from every genre offered and declared all uniformly delicious. In addition, portions are super generous and the price can't be beat. This goes in our monthly rotation!“

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

“Ordered 4 family meals with pizza and wings....a great deal to feed a lot of people. The garlic parmesan wings are the best! Really large and full of flavor. Lots of ranch dressing and celery. Orders are consistently ready on time or early. Great Service and great food.“

“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 Peking Duck is perfect in every ways. Comparing to the legendary Peking Gourmet in VA. I like the Peking Duck here much better. The duck skin is crisp and the wrap is so thin and hot. The duck soup with goji berry, cappage, and tofu comes with the order. Other foods are so enjoyable as well. I can’t take any photos because I was stunned by the Peking Duck. 😁“

“Possibly my favorite brewery experience ever. I love their homage to McSorleys, pouring 2 beers for every order. The beer is very well made, and the pizza selection is phenomenal. This place doesn't exist just to get by, there is genuine heart poured into everything they do. Ask them about their signature shot 😏“

“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!“

“Kevin is one of the best servers I’ve had in a while! He is full of personality! He is funny, personable and made our dining experience better than expected with his kind energy. He gives good recommendations and he is super attentive. Thank you for making our day even better! Lunch portions were great!“

“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!!“

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

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

“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 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! ?“

“How do vegan food taste? You have to try it to believe it. My cousin took me here last month and I couldn't believe it!!. All I can say is try the double cheeseburger first and sweet potato fries 🍟Go on the website check out the food facts. (Burger - Soy rice onion mushrooms sunflower) to name a few ingredients.100 percent plant based. I plan to try other food selections soon.. (Chillidogs, chicken sandwhich, fish, wings) If you're in the Columbia area for the day stop by.
You can down load their app and start receiving rewards. Order for pickup or sit in. They do not take cash. Look for special promotions on their app. Last month I won the hotdog contest which can be found on their IG account. Leonor and Esteban was very nice and hard working. Restaurant was very clean, you can sit at the counter or sit in the food court overlooking Columbia Lake which is very relaxing and near the Water front.

“The best pizza and wings ever“

“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! 😊“

“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.“

“I ordered the meatloaf sandwich and tater tots, with spinach on the side. The tots were a little too crispy for me and there was too much oil on the spinach. However, they tasted fine, so not a big enough issue to complain about. The meatloaf sandwich was tasty. It has two thinner than expected slices of meatloaf, which worked perfectly. Better than one thick slice. The ratio of bread to meat was great in my opinion. You're not overly stuffed after eating this meal either. I have also had the Shrimp and Grits here previously and that is a definite recommendation.“

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

“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 !!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“
