50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Derwood

“This is my hometown watering hole! I live on Maui now but OTWC is always my first meal when I come home. Maryland Crab Soup and the Swing Wings is what I always get!“

“I love a great pizza and what I ordered was such a well made meal that I found a nice niche spot! It's intimate but lovely energy! The food was delicious! And I shared it and they liked them both. Great price and the size and taste was worth the buck for sure! 5 starrsssssssssss :)“

“This restaurant is a favorite for my wife and I to dine. It is an Armenian Mediterranean restaurant. The hummus is creamy and delectable. The kebab platters are savory and well prepared. Highly recommend Sasuns Cafe. You will not be disappointed.“

“Food is delicious. Service is wonderful and attentive! This Chinese restaurant serves the best hot and sour soup in Montgomery County! This restaurant is very flexible. They will put together any combination you want provided they have the ingredients.“

“We've ordered takeout several times and loved it every time. Definitely our new favorite. Tacos and chimichanga are fantastic. great guac!“

“Stopped by with my wife and 2 of my daughters celebrating mother's day. First off , what a hidden gem, in a strip shopping center. We had calamari which was probably the best I've ever had, we had spaghetti with meatballs and with meat sauce also linguine with shrimp delicious all around. Our servers were on point all night, wine was perfect and the peronis were ice cold. Way to go guys, we will be back“

“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.“

“A great experience, the food was delicious and you get a lot of it! Will definitely go again!“

“Thought I’d go by and give them a try today ,I ordered several different ones to see what was good and I must say the food was delicious and fresh! Can’t go wrong with any of them .Highly recommend!“

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John“

“The service was attentive and friendly. With the preselected menu being two servings of steak frites, they'd asked me what temperature I wanted. I figured they'd be masters of medium rare given the restaurant's name, but unfortunately I wasn't served a medium rare steak. The first course they served was rare, with a good part of the center uncooked. The sauce was good, but the doneness made it much too chewy. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited for my second course, and again, was not served a medium rare steak. This time, though, on the opposite end of the spectrum— the steak was served medium well, without much pink. I'm mildly confused by two things: how there's this much variance in steak doneness, and why a restaurant named Medium Rare seemingly hasn't figured out how to make a medium rare steak. I'd give it a 6/10 overall— I wish the food was treated better.“

“The best chaat Place in my eatery list. Must try their "ROYAL CHAAT". One of the best place to have Indian food.“

“absolutely delicious and would recommend to anyone!“

“Food is great. Even if you are not a vegetarian, give this place a try. Family owned and very warm atmosphere. Owners care for their customers.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan friendly

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free options“

“La comida aquí es muy rica y el servicio de Diana es excelente, muy amable y muy atenta! Sin duda volveremos pronto! Lo recomiendo al 100%“

“I picked this place off of Google for a quick lunch alone and it was awesome. I got the salmon kebab. The bread and chickpeas starter is expertly done. The salmon kebab was good and the salad was big and good quality. It’s fast food speed food, but better and healthier.“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“Great place with superb food , friendly staff, and great service. Highly recommended!👍👍👍👍👍“

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

“Awesome food ,great delivery and really fast. Thanks M&N you Rock. From the guy in the black dump truck!“

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!“

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

“The cauliflower taco on the sprouted grain tortilla is a little messy but so worth it. Kale is much better than what normally comes on a taco, and the flavor doesn’t overwhelm as kale is known to do. From the sauces, there is a good heat which was a nice surprise the first time. My favorite item on the menu which also has other great items!“

“I went to District Taco at the recommendation of a friend, and it did not disappoint. The menu has a variety of options to choose from, and luckily one of the staff there, Eimy, was really helpful with recommending what's most popular, as well as what she's personally grown to love. I'd definitely say I left satisfied. The vibes were good my whole time there, and there was very little wait time. I'll be going back and sharing it with those I know. Shout-out Emiy again, she hooked me up.“

“Drinks: The (definition of) neighborhood bar. See you there. Cocktails are great, supposedly... But so is beer and whiskey.

Food: The burgers are something else. Big and messy with arugula. Yes please. House chips are the best munchy one could ask for.

If you don't go to qht... They'll be fine... Will you though? No. You won't.“

“I’m VERY impressed with this place. The staff were extremely friendly and attended me very quickly. The food was amazing! The broth had such a sweet and umami flavor, you could tell the had stewed the broth in house for a good while. I got the brisket and beef pho bowl and was pleasantly surprised by the price. Very hearty and healthy. The music was pleasant to listen to and the decorations combined with everything else led to a very authenticate and genuine feeling. Would definitely recommend!“

“Great atmoshere, high-end stylish dining room, comfortable seating. The salmon dish was delicious and a large portion. The spinach rice side dish was so delicious! The Ravini Politiko, coconut cake was the best I ever ate! The Thalissina, seafood pasta had plenty of seafood in it and delicious. Even the cappaccino was delicious, very smooth, no bitterness and taste great with dessert! The server, Baris, was attentive, friendly and did a great job taking care of us. Great place to eat, homemade dishes and desserts! Highly recommend it. I will be back!“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Consistently delicious food (great fish), fun atmosphere, good service.“

“great new location. good ambiance. enjoyed the ziti and pizza.“

“I went to Jinya to celebrate my daughters bday. Our server was Monique and she was absolutely amazing. She smiled the entire time and she was so helpful. The food was quick and fresh and it was just all around a great experience

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian ramen was delicious“

“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.“

“We had a great experience at Delhi Spice in Bethesda. The food was absolutely delicious — we tried the Delhi Papri Chaat, Paneer Makhani, Fig Kofta, Daal Tadka, Onion Kulcha, and Garlic Naan. Every dish was full of authentic flavor and cooked to perfection.

The staff was very accommodating. We mentioned we had kids with us, and the gentleman taking our order made sure their food came out first — really thoughtful service!

Parking is a bit challenging in the area, but we parked in the Giant store lot behind the restaurant, which worked out fine.

Highly recommend this place if you're looking for tasty Indian food in Bethesda.“

“Listen, to be quite honest if I could give this bar 17 stars I would. The bars of yesteryear, you can come in get yourself a nice tall boy and a shot and not spend over $40 are gone. But this place still holds on to the best kind of neighborhood bar tradition. The food here does what it needs to do. The drinks are always on time, and the service makes you feel like you just got home from college. I’ll never talk bad about Stained Glass.“

“Everything that we ate was wonderful. It was five of us in my party and we came after church. There was a DJ there which is fine, but the music was too loud for us to hear each other talk. I feel the music should just be background noise and not at the same volume as if I was at the club. Other than that, the service and food was awesome.“

“Waiter had too many tables and did not check on us enough. Food came out immediately after being ordered and was very good There was at least 2 dozen (not an exaggeration) screaming poorly behaving children in the tack room. The parents could not or chose not to control their children. I have been in Chucky Cheeses with better behaved children. Really made for a difficult time having a conversation and made the meal unpleasant.“

“GREAT food, and some of the friendliest people in Bethesda! We’ll be frequent fliers...for sure.“

“I have ate multiple times at this restaurant and the service and food was fantastic! The food was hot and seasoned to perfectio“

“the food is delicious. the plate are serve with good amount of food. customer service os very kind. 100%“

“I just had my 2nd absolutely DELICIOUS Indian dinner at Virraaj on Cordell. My husband noticed what he thought was a new restaurant across from the public parking last week so we went there for our Wednesday date nite. We went earlyish and only a couple other tables were taken when we arrived but by the time we left at 6:30 ish it was just about full so best to make reservations. Even with many diners, it was still easy to talk to each other and be heard. I started w/ the AAM Palak Chaat appetizer which I had first tasted at Rasika and have ordered every time I have seen it on a menu. Definitely rivaled Rasika's and the portion was big enough to share w/ my husband as an appetizer. My main was the Murgh Bahak/ Kadai Chicken. So tender, so tasty with onion and green and red bell peppers, delicious brown sauce w/ terrific spices plus a little spicy kick. I ate as much as I could and still had left overs for 2 lunches at home. My husband ordered a lamb dish he enjoyed and finished every morsel including the rice. I saw some reviewers would have liked more rice. We had plenty with our meals so maybe they are giving more w/ each dinner. The waiter was attentive, professional, courteous and nice. The restaurant itself was classy & beautifully appointed - you could tell someone put a great deal of thought and money into designing it. This week we had friends visit who live in VA, within walking distance to Clarendon. We always go there for Indian food because there are so many good Indian restaurants to choose from but they were excited to try Virraaj from our comments about how much we enjoyed it. Before ordering takeout, I called and spoke to Jenni 3 times because I wanted to order what I had ordered last week but couldn't remember the name. She could not have been kinder or more patient in helping me figure out that it was the Kadhai Chicken. It may not seem like it from this review but I am a picky eater - happy to pay any price (just about ) for good food but am too often disappointed in Bethesda. Virraag got the highest marks on everything important to me: service, food, and ambiance - all of us enjoyed our meals and noone was disappointed. We ordered pickup for 4 main dishes including my fav Murgh Bahak/Kadai Chicken, Butter Chicken, Lamb Tawa Masala and Hariyal Murgh Tikka, naan and roti. All went on 2 big lazy susans on the dining room table and we kept on spinning, tasting and enjoying. The wife of the other couple always orders the Butter Chicken and kept on saying how moist and delicious the chicken was tonight. We all tried and liked everything - - not one complaint. So glad that we have a great Indian restaurant to go to and take friends to and not worry that anyone is not going to enjoy -- it is that good!“

“Awesome“

“Food is consistently delicious, staff is friendly and the ambience is friendly despite being in such a small space.“

“Great service with no waiting!“

“The Mother Earth, with salmon, is my absolute favorite. Best flavored Ice Tea in the area!“

“the best spaghetti with meatballs that I tried and the service was excellent from Beatriz !!!“

“Wonderful date night. Fantastic, attentive service and absolutely perfect food. Highly recommended.“

“Family style meals are fantastic. Had eaten at a Greek relative's house. Ordered for the first time. Not only was the food delicious, each order fed about 8-10 people with folks having seconds. Lots of leftovers. Several asked guests made sure they had Talia's number when they left.“

“Food was excellent, service was great!“

“Parking is easy right behind the restaurant. There is bistro seating outside but there was noise from some street work so we sat inside. Service was excellent and quick. We ordered an lempanada appetizer which was awesome, the salmon entree over orzo and spinach, and my friend had the roasted beet salad. They kindly surprised us with a free dessert for our birthdays. Our reservation was at 2:30 but I would suggest you get earlier reservation as the kitchen closes right around 2:30 for lunch service, so we felt a bit rushed. But overall , this is a lovely restaurant , with good meal choices, delicious food, and attentive service. It a wonderful place for lunch with friends.“

“it's the best restaurant in the DC area by far.“
