50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Forest Hill

“Great food and cocktails with vegan options! Restaurant is always spotless and service is super friendly! Authentic cuisine in a fun and friendly space. Great prices also!“

“My first visit here and I was absolutely blown away by every aspect .... the service, attention and graciousness of the staff is well beyond 5 stars. Juanita recommended so many things to help make my experience so enjoyable. The food was outstanding! She recommended the buffet so that I could try several things I was interested in. Others on the staff showed me some presentations for the way some items are traditionally served. What a wonderful dining experience in Bel Air! Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“I just have to share the fantastic experience we had tonight. My husband and I went to The Local around 6:30 pm (prime time without reservations lol). The only available seats were a high top table in the bar area. They asked us if that was ok and we said “sure”. Within a minute or so after being seated, it became apparent that our vision of a nice relaxing dinner would be impossible in that room. The Preakness was about to begin, and that bar was loud and hopping! Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I love to see people enjoying themselves. It was a party, but just wasn’t our vibe tonight. We decided we would go elsewhere. We politely informed the hostess that we were going to leave because it was just a tad too noisy, but that we would definitely return again soon. We stressed that we were not mad, or upset. As we were walking to our car, a very nice gentleman followed us out and asked if we would consider returning if they could sit us elsewhere. We said “Of course!” We didn’t think there were any other available tables, but he said they would work something out for us. We told him we didn’t expect them to go out of their way for us and that we could wait. Within five minutes, we were seated at a lovely table in the dining room. We later learned the gentleman that helped us was none other than the owner/ executive chef Zack. We went on to have a delicious dinner with the most attentive and charming server. They demonstrated exemplary customer service, which sadly is lacking in many other establishments. We weren’t expecting any special treatment, but they certainly went above and beyond for us, and it was very much appreciated! When we were leaving, Zack happened to be outside, so he made sure to ask how our experience was. We told him it was amazing, and that his restaurant has been one of our favorites since it opened. We told him we would be back soon. Our experience there tonight is just one of many examples why this restaurant stands out, and why we will always highly recommend them! Thank you all so much for proving customer service is not a dying art!“

“A great place to eat, drink and be with friends“

“Love this place! They have great food, at great prices, and great service. The loaded fries for $6, cannot be beaten, and I LOVE their lamb gyro. My husband always gets their lamb combo rice bowl, we always have leftovers for lunch the next day. The dinning area is small, but quiet and a really nice place to sit and have a quick bite while your out with your family. This place has become one of our families favorite places to eat out for 2 of the most important reasons. First, it is delicious!!! And second, it's super affordable. We have a family of 5 and it can get expensive quick to eat out, but not here.“

“The atmosphere when you come in is akin to an old style Italian eatery. The restaurant feels very comforting and inviting, with wonderful employees greeting you right away. definetly recommend for the food but also the atmosphere and wonderful employee demeanor. 5 stars. p.s. the bbq chicken pizza is amazing, big chunks of chicken and wonderfully crafted.“

“Excellent food for a great price. The restaurant is very clean with fabulous service. Lovely family runs this small business. Check out their Specials. You won’t be sorry.“

“great food and service.“

“We literally just left and I could not recommend this place enough. I'm pregnant and had a craving for Asian food. We live in PA, so we literally drove almost an hour to get here and I am so glad we did! We got the beef ramen, crispy chicken rice dish with curry sauce, fried chicken & spicy mayo appetizer, a beef rice dish. I was very impressed with the food and the staff and atmosphere was great too. I was so full and so happy. My kids loved the food too and actually ate which if you have kids, you know they usually don't eat. All in all, I recommend this place 100%.“

“Was very impressed. The Chesapeake Benedict was awesome. The Bloody Mary was on point and also the mimosa. Kristen (can’t remember the spelling) was the bartender and amazing and very attentive. 5 star experience. What also impressed me was they had a special part on their check that had a separate 2% specially going towards their cooking staff which I happily did. I just thought that was cool. Definitely a goto now for brunch.“

“Amazing. the wait staff was very attentive and very friendly. kitchen staff was on point with everything we ordered. everything was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic. The cocktails were great too. Can not recommend enough.“

“The Power Lunch Specials menu is a bargain at $17.77. The Meatballs & Polenta are excellent. This is 3/4 of the normal lunch menu portion, but is very tasty & extremely filling. The fried calamari is heavy in batter & needs all the lemon juice you can squeeze onto it. The dipping sauces have a lot of hot peppers in them, & are both really spicy. Penne Caprese is fresh & tasty. lovely lunch. Unfortunately, portion sizes vary from day to day. Ask for a full portion. Fettucine Genovese is extremely flavorful. The rich flavor of the cheese enhances the braised beef--a good dish. The coffee had a nice flavor but was watery. It would be much better if they used more coffee.“

“we had never been there before today. A friend recommended them. The berry salad is perfection! Turkey sandwich with cranberries and brie, perfection. Everything we got was delicious and they answered our questions without tude. everyone was so kind and helpful. our new favorite salad and sandwich shop! thank you guys for a wonderful experience ❤️“

“The best clean food I’ve ever had. The food is always well made, and such good flavor. The staff is always super friendly. The managers are always super helpful with questions, especially Melissa who goes above and beyond if I ever need anything. Totally recommend coming here, will always be coming back!“

“Enjoyed the delicious Maryland Club sandwich and a tasty Caesar salad. Ms. Rachel and the wait staff were amazing and welcoming. The Brunch Menu offers a few tasty options, as well. No matter what you choose, your meal will be a joy to your palette. Will surely return soon.“

“Loved dinner tonight! Soft shells were legendary. Service was top notch (Reese is excellent). We will absolutely return on a regular basis. Great stuff!“

“Solid spot if you want to have a solid meal with flavor in all honesty. Bel Air otherwise provides boring vanilla cuisine that is not best if you wish to explore fun and tasty cuisine. I would recommend their Bohlani and their Chicken Kabab platters. The saffron/kabuli rice is also highly recommended and delicious.“

“On July 25th I ordered 1 doz. Large Steamed Crabs ($95) from Madonna Seafood. Madonna "used" to be the best place for crabs. They were always consistently seasoned well....that was not the case yesterday. This dozen was completely dried out...they were either VERY overcooked or my guess is they were re-cooked. Definitely not worth $95....please retrain your steaming team or you will lose business. i will be going elsewhere.“

“We just had our first of many dinners at Island Spice. The lamb chops, rasta pasta, and drinks were outstanding! The service was excellent! We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“Great fun, friendly atmosphere but most importantly best authentic Mexican food! Recommend this restaurant to all my friends“

“Plaza Mexico never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. My absolute favorite is the quesadilla with beans and rice — it’s so delicious every single time. The quesadilla is perfectly cheesy and cooked just right, and the beans and rice pair with it perfectly. Whether you’re craving something comforting, authentic, or just seriously good, Plaza Mexico is always the move. Great service, great flavors, and always hits the spot! 🌮🤍“

“Always a great time. Awesome staff, Family friendly, great beers, and Fanta local music support! Thank you IBC!“

“Had a birthday dinner here with 8 people and honestly had a great experience. The tandoori chicken was really good, and the garlic naan was fresh and delicious. We also got the butter chicken and a few other dishes, and everything tasted really good.

The service was probably the best part. Everyone was really friendly and attentive, and they made sure our whole group was taken care of. The service was so good that it actually made me want to write a review, which I don’t usually do. Definitely a good spot for a group dinner or birthday. Would definitely come back.“

“My husband and I have dined at Basta Pasta on numerous occasions, preferring to sit at the bar, and have never been disappointed. The service at the bar is excellent and the food is delicious. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the salad and breadsticks with the meal too. Drinks are always well made and we are never left waiting long for refills or food. The entire staff are always top-notch and on top of everything, professional, hardworking, and polite. We appreciate this local restaurant and will continue to frequent it. Desserts are also delicious. Also, the coffee drink I ordered had real whipped cream which was impressive.“

“My son for the 1st time ordered crabs from Jax’s and they were the most delicious crabs we’ve eaten . We will most definitely return to buy more! The taste was next to none!! Whatever you’re doing please do-not EVER change.“

“Though the staff was a bit slow, that criticism is totally knocked away by how good the food was. It was the best Thai food I've had in Maryland.“

“Nice friendly atmosphere. The food and steamed crabs were excellent. We were a party of 12 and our waitress, Barb, was very friendly and accommodating.“

“The golf and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The golf course was in great shape. I didn't find myself in the sandtrap for once, so that helped my positive review.

The menu had a nice variety of choices. I ordered a Reuben and a reasonably priced margarita. Both were tasty. We had 11 people at our table and they were all happy with their food selection.“

“Cheesesteaks and eggplant parm are always �“

“An unexpected hospital stay changed our plans for Valentine’s Day, but a week later we were able to do carry out. I had the Linguine Primavera with EVOO and my husband had the Chicken Marsala with fettuccine. The meals were fresh, flavorful and seasoned perfectly. Warm soft crusty rolls added to our enjoyment. Portions were so large, it provided a second night’s dinner! This wasn’t our first meal from Acapella and they have always been on point. Will certainly be back!“

“Fantastic salads and wings“

“Just a good place to go for a good time-friendly staff. Convenient location!!“

“I hosted a corporate dinner party at Boordy last night, and it was my first time being at their facility and getting to experience what they offer. After a miscommunication between myself and the (external) caterer, who was providing food for the event, I was left scrambling to figure out how to accommodate all of my guests in a very short amount of time. Grace and Carly immediately leapt into action and saved the day, no questions asked. They went above and beyond to help out, never once stressing out or making the inconvenience seem like an inconvenience. It was top notch service from both of them all night and extremely appreciated! The wine was wonderful, the space was great and I can't say enough good things about the service. Thanks again Carly and Grace!“

“So I've gone to this place twice, this week. it's the only 2 times I've been and both times it was outstanding food. The first time I went in this week it was almost closing time and all of the product looked as good as it does, I'm guessing, when they open. Normally by the end of the night it all looks like garbage at most places but not here. As someone that has spent years managing a Ruby Tuesday and trying to keep that salad bar on point, well this place could teach all restaurants how to have beautiful product to work with. Tonight was no different. I did order online to pick up in store and everything still looked great and again outstanding quality product that is so good I had to take a moment and slow down so here I am. You guys have a family for life that will gladly eat here on a regular basis.“

“Riverside Pub has fantastic food and staff. The private room is perfect for events, and I even attend Trivia night there on Thursdays. Dana does an outstanding job keeping up with the crowd. Great atmosphere overall.“

“I’m a sucker for good outdoor seating and food is always delicious! I love that it’s kid and dog friendly too 🥰“

“A old friend and I had lunch there today, and it was great! The food was delicious and we had the best waiter… Troy…. We loved sitting in a sweet booth ! I highly recommend the fish and of course the Carrot cake dessert!“

“Great food and drinks. Friendly folks.“

“From the moment you walk in, you feel at home. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, all made with fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your meal is perfect. I'll definitely be back!“

“Took the family to J'Ville Grille around 1430 on a Saturday. You have to seat yourself and a waitress will promptly take your order. Ordered a double burger with pepper jack, fries, lettuce and raw onion. Food was ready in about 15-20 minutes. The restaurant was packed with people and a little bit hard to hear but the food was very good. Highly recommend.“

“Both the food and the service is consistently amazing! I got the hibachi and shrimp tempura roll last time. It was delicious and very fresh and authentic. I liked it so much that I came back and got the California roll (cucumber, avocado, crab).

Staff are very friendly and portions are big for the money. Atmosphere is really great, even classy compared to other Asian restaurants. Highly recommend!!“

“Good service and great food and drinks the food came out in a reasonable time and the waitress was knowledgeable about almost everything on the menu she gave suggestions and when we got our food it was great everything was fresh clean on point I definitely recommend getting the crab dip also.“

“We used Margherita’s Pizza of Kingsville to cater our daughter’s birthday party and everyone raved about how good the food was! We had chicken parmigiana, Caesar salad and rolls that were all amazing but the absolute hit of the party was the Crab Chesapeake Pasta! It was to die for! There was so many giant chunks of crab meat! And it all just came together perfectly with the sauce! Everyone asked where we got it from and when I was packing up the leftovers, I even had some guests ask if they could take a little bit home too! Highly recommend!“

“Thank you SO much to Tim and the Birds Nest Staff for our amazing "The Nest" catering order. They were awesome to work with...it was pouring down rain and they helped carry stuff out to our vehicle and the food was AMAZING and the portions were huge!! Everyone commented and asked where we got it so hopefully you'll have some new customers!! Thank you again!“

“The food is always good at this location. They seem a little short on staff, but that is certainly understandable due to the fact that Harford Mall is in decline. IMO, they cant afford to have more staff due to lower traffic. The upside is that you rarely have to wait to be seated.
I really hope that they will be able to survive in spite of reduced traffic at Harford Mall.“

“Would have given a 5 rating, if they didn't stop serving "Onion Rings"!“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“Disappointed for the removal of the steak fajitas from the menu. They were the best. Still a great lunch and service.“

“First time trying this restaurant. I was in the area for something else and searched for food near me. The wonton soup was so flavorful along with the crab Rangoon. I love that I get the option for brown rice with my main dish. I went back again.“

“We love to come during our lunch break!! The food is always delicious and the service is amazing. Everything always is so flavorful and just the way we like it. Thank you for always being so nice to our lunch bunch. We hope to see you soon.“
