50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Damascus

“I recently visited Hornets Nest Grille and it quickly became one of my favorite local spots. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, casual, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of place where you can relax whether you’re meeting friends, bringing family, or just grabbing a great meal. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the menu offers a solid mix of comfort food classics and creative options. It’s the kind of place where you struggle to decide what to order because everything sounds good. Service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home without being intrusive. Drinks came quickly, food arrived hot, and we never felt rushed — a perfect balance. What really sets Hornet’s Nest apart is that authentic “local gem” vibe. It doesn’t feel corporate or cookie-cutter; it feels like a true community restaurant where people know each other and take pride in what they do. If you’re in the Damascus area and looking for a dependable spot with great food, fair prices, and welcoming service, Hornet’s Nest Grille is absolutely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“I had their Mushroom Ravioli yesterday—restaurant quality!! Absolutely delicious with just a drizzle of olive oil on top. I’ll be back. Can’t believe it took me so long to find Say Vrai!!“

“I have been going to Tom and Rays since the old location. What makes them stand out is the cost conscience menu, fresh tasting food, and a staff mostly local high school kids that are professional with can do attitude. Right now I’m raving about something as simple as stewed tomatoes as a complementary side dish. Their breakfast foods including creamed chipped beef fresh. Their lunch and dinner foods bring you back, especially the open faced beef sandwich with mash potatoes and gravy, to a simpler time. Check out their menu and ask them about their pies.“

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

“The BEST VALUE all-you-can-eat place! Excellent, fresh food and clean!!! (even their women's bathroom is clean!) And great services, especially Amy! By the way, it is hard for me to believe this restaurant does not get 5 stars! We travel all the way from VA to this place at least two times a month. We just love it!!! P.S. I read the reviews that did not give them 5 stars and feel those reviews may not be fair to them. As an example, one review gave them a 4-star commenting food is great, quality is great, but expensive. Yes, if you compare this place with most cheap Chinese all you can ear places, $33 does seem expensive. However, fresh and high-quality food cost me. I am willing to pay extra for good, fresh food. As another example, I was shocked to see a review giving them only 3 stars commenting she got sick (even though she said she loved the food there). I was wondering if she did not cook her food well in the hot pot, or she couldn't handle the spices.“

“There are no words to describe this place. You will never find better food for $12 in your life I promise you that. I was skeptical at first seeing as they are inside a gas station but hands down 10/10!“

“My family enjoyed the food, a lot of different flavors, and their food is yummy, and pretty to look at. The staff are very efficient and attentive to their patrons. The atmosphere is very cosy. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised of this hidden treasure.“

“Yummy food love this place“

“Booking Sage Cakery to make our wedding cake was one of the highlights of the wedding. As someone that loves cakes, I was so looking forward to trying Sage on my wedding day and I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of their cakes. My husband generally doesn’t like cake as much, but even he loved the ones they made for us. The blackberry sage was a huge hit, and the decoration on the cake could not have been more stunning. It was exactly what we asked for and more. They worked with us too to add a topper my mom made for us and it looked perfect on top of the beautiful cake. We can’t wait to get another cake from them on our anniversary!“

“Came here for a girls’ night out and had a wonderful time. Great service. For Tuesdays, bottles of wine are half-price. Yay! Plan on coming back soon!“

“Second time here and still amazing. I look forward to grabbing a meal here before my tattoo sessions. The food is Filling and flavorful. Then the staff are great and happy to help me make decisions. Perfect price for a hefty portion. And the Strawberry Drink is Delicious.“

“One of the best Italian meals I have had outside of Italy! All dishes-appetizers, entrees and desserts were excellent. Will be back often!“

“10/10. Food is very delicious and authentic. Place is always packed and hidden gem near the dry cleaner place.“

“This place may be small and not very fancy, but the food is absolutely on point. I’ve also used them for catering, and everyone loved it. My favorites are the khachapoori with egg, the beef kabobs, and the chicken shawarma. I truly love this authentic restaurant.“

“Great food, service, and super easy to find! Just drive until the road ends, park your car, and look up at the restaurant on the second floor.“

“I went here to have dinner on May 19, 2026, but I left before I received my dessert. I just forgot. I already paid the bill. I went back on June 07, 2026 for another dinner. I told the waitress I did not get my dessert the last time. She trusted me and gave my dessert. This shows good character. Some restaurants would probably be very anal about it and ask for proof or something, but no questions asked, she just obliged. Thank you.“

“Great gifts for all ages, good coffee, great locally-made ice cream. What more could you want?“

“Everything they have to offer.“

“What an amazing group of hard working people. We just did 100 orders with them (I know, we are crazy for Carmen’s), and they were so kind to recognize it. The staff is always so kind no matter how busy it gets there. Their gelati tastes so great, as it’s definitely my favorite item.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite after a long morning at Butler's Orchard. Great service, sandwiches were delicious, and it was prepared quickly. There is a cute little outside seating area.

Note: this is not a full-service restaurant where you sit down and you are served, this is a counter where you order what you want and then you can sit down and eat there or you can take it to go. Located on the side of an office building. Great spot for quick in and out.“

“Delicious Indian food. Lots of options and combinations!“

“Good service ,,friendly people“

He helped me and another couple get set up with the wonder app and gave recommendations on which foods to try. I highly recommend the wonder Reston location and if you get a chance to meet Labrell he will put a smile on your face and brighten your day!!“

“I am officially ruined. I ordered 2 al pastor & 1 carnitas tacos, and I am blown away. I also ordered a side of chips & guac, and it is THE BEST GUACAMOLE I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! This is not an exaggeration. I will always and forever crave Tortacos now.“

“The service and food at this Ledo's has always been great. We have been ordering from there since the location opened. The staff has always been friendly and the food has always been hot and delicious. The few times we have dined in there we have enjoyed good friendly service. Plenty of free parking. Highly recommend it.“

“Moved to Germantown 3 and half months ago and came here for the first time last night, Judith was our waitress and she was great! Service was fast, food was amazing, the staff were great..even the security people! We got to witness 3 birthday celebrations they do and the performance is quick & fun!! Ricardo came by at the end of our meal to make sure we were good and helped pack our leftovers to go! Great things to say about this place and will definitely be returning. Thank you everyone for the top tier service“

“Soy muy feliz al saborear los sorbetes por por su variedad de sabores“

“Friendly staff, especially Aidan, delicious food and beer, and a lovely outdoor seating area. We found a delicious beer, Porter Chocolate Oat, that took my Mom back to Brazil...a beer and familiar taste she'd not had in 50 years: Malzbier“

“Excellent! Must try! I went for a corporate lunch with my coworker. Drunken noodles and Tom Yum soup were so good! They served us really fast! Nong (the waitress) was so nice! I forgot to take a pic of my receipt for my corporate card, and called a few hours later to have them send me a copy. Nong was soooo nice again. Great service and great food! Definitely try this place! :0) I’ll be back for sure!“

“Truly a gem. The service was above and beyond, the food was excellent with both quantity and quality in spades. We had shrimp tempura (fried beautifully) and I had an amazing scallop burst. I highly recommend it to anyone who is remotely a fan of sushi or Japanese cuisine. There's plenty of variety and it's one of those places that you'll come out happier than when you walked in.“

“Excellent food and fantastic service! What a great locally owned restaurant! Highly recommend!!!“

“I have nothing but good things to say about Gourmet Asian Bistro (7224 Muncaster Mill Rd, Derwood, MD 20855). It offers Chinese, Thai, and sushi. I've eaten there 3 times in the past 2 weeks, and it's been excellent every time and affordable! The vegetable tofu soup ($2.95) is huge, satisfying, and full of veggies. The wonton soup ($2.95) has 3 good sized wontons. Both soups come with a bowl of tastier-than-average fried wonton strips on the side that I end up munching on during the entire meal. The sizzling black pepper beef ($16.95?) was tasty, but I was more impressed by the noodle dishes. The beef chow fun ($14.95?) and the Singapore mei fun ($13.95) were beautifully seasoned and cooked perfectly. I've also gotten the salmon nigiri ($5.95?) a couple times, and it's generously portioned and fresh with great quality salmon. Every meal ends with a complimentary tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream and fortune cookie. There are plenty of good Chinese restaurants in MoCo, but Gourmet Asian Bistro is my current favorite for best flavor and value.“

I will go back for future events and parties , and I will go try food for lunch specials.

“Japanese food really isn't my favorite, however that will not bias my review. I personally found the portions here to be incredible!! So so generous with the meat and the cashier was very pleasant! Definitely check this place out if you like teriyaki“

“I have been to all pho restaurants in a 5 miles radius. This one is hands down the best as I keep coming back after 3 years of exploring. When eating the beef special, I don’t even need to add any sauces or flavor. The bun bo hue is excellent too and I recommend to all who haven’t tried. Papaya salad is better than Thai places.“

“Had a shake and a cupcake to go. Both were delicious! Highly recommend if you like good homemade treats.“

“It was a wonderful experience by chance to visit this restaurant! The food was great 😊 & service very good!! We haven’t been here in quite a while but it’ll be on our list from here on out!!😋🥙🍲🍔🥪🍰🍩🍪“

“Tremendous sushi and sake. Great atmosphere. Have been coming here for many years. Always a treat.“

“We have been there a dozen times or so. The food and service is always Amazing“

“best boba consistently. best variety of flavors & drinks“

“Consistently great pizza, and amazing selection of various pasta dishes. I've learned that the kids size pasta is definitely enough for one person. I come here every so often with my kids, they like it and there is a very friendly neighborhood vibe here. I've always had great pizza here, and their pasta dishes are really fantastic! Glad to have this restaurant in the near vicinity for sure. Always good service.“

“I had the soft noodles ocean treasures dish and it was delicious. Delightful combination of finely cut crunchy fresh vegetables mixed with thin soft noodles and mixed stir fried seafood flavored with a delicious seasoning that complimented without overpowering the food. The serving was plentiful and I even took leftovers home to enjoy later.“

“Love this place. The food is amazing and the staff is awesome“
