50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Kensington

“Delicious pizzas, love their doughs!!“

“Friends raved about this place. So, I picked up Bulgogi Bibimbap 😋 and I'm so happy I did!
It was Delish! I'm really surprised that this place wasn't crowded.
The place is simple and nice. There's limited seating inside but there is more seating outside. And the service is friendly. I was hungry but I'll try to remember to take a photo of the food next time. In the meantime, eat here. If you like Korean food, I think you'll ❤ it just as much as I did.“

“Love the latte flight! And the sandwiches are delicious!“

“We've been driving all the way down to Moby Dicks at the Kentlands, and then to the new Shady Grove restaurant, from Thurmont, MD. Yes, the food is that good! Now there's one in Frederick.���“

“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅“

“An absolute gem in Kensington.

An outstanding beer and wine selection. The staff is great and Volker in particular has been super helpful in giving us beer recommendations and info.

If you decide to dine in they have a really nice food menu and always have a great draft list with a bunch of local Maryland beers on tap.“

“I’m new to eating an actual meal at Java Nation (usually, I just grab coffee)… and boy, was I pleasantly surprised by the quality of today’s Honey Pear Beet Salad with Grilled Salmon. Slices of perfectly ripened Bosc Pear perched atop a bed of creamy Goat Cheese Fondue and crisp Mixed Greens, the plate jeweled with both Red and Golden Beets, Toasted
Almonds, and Red Onion; drizzled with Hot Honey and Apple Cider
Vinaigrette. And the Salmon was just as expertly prepared… the edges crisped, but the interior still silky. Wow, just WOW… I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“I stopped by here for lunch after my dental appointment and decided to give it a try. I was immediately impressed by the wide variety of options on the menu. Ordering was fast, easy, and straightforward, making it a great spot for a quick meal. If you enjoy having lots of choices, I definitely recommend checking this place out!“

“I think Old Ebbitt Grill are one of the best grill joints around Washington and they got the most warmed atmosphere and I also enjoyed their service a lot. Their waitress and waiters are well trained with great sense of humor and they always smile to their customers/buyers.. You all can give it a try and thank me later hehe 😜“

“Amazing! The staff was welcoming from the moment you walk in the door!! And the..Food was globally inspired with a twist, and beautifully displayed. Truly felt like a gift to stumble upon this establishment!!“

“Such a fun experience during our trip to DC. All the items we choose were outstanding and different . It was the highlight of our rainy day .“

“Amazing! The sushi tasting menu was exceptional and filling! Delicious and whimsical cocktails. Bar in the back, very hip and chic workout being pretentious. Wagyu beef skewers from the bar was one of the best things I’ve ever had. All the skewers were amazing and the fried chicken and other bar snacks are classic bar foods, but way elevated- can not wait for the rest of the space to open!“

“Always a DC favorite for hosting and client dinners — your team consistently creates a great experience.“

“Brunch is amazing. Bottomless margaritas and the churros are excellent!“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“Went to Kitchen +Kocktails for the first time last night. The decor was very nice, and the music was good and not obnoxious. Our server Ally was terrific! I’m not a drinker, so when I asked her if there were any cocktails that didn’t taste like alcohol, I thought she would look at me like I was crazy, but she didn’t! She seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and immediately had a couple of suggestions. I went with the mixed berry lemon drop and it was perfect for me. The crab cake appetizers and shrimp and grits with lobster tail entree were amazing. We had a great time and we’ll be back!“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“Delicious, delectable, outstanding. Service topnotch!“

“We had an early dinner before attending a performance at the Ford’s Theater. We made reservations through Open Table and were immediately seated upon arrival. The service was great. Our server recommended several dishes that we loved. There were abundant vegan and vegetarian options. Chilorio de Res tacos were mouthwatering as were the Hongos en Milto ones. In fact, every dish we ordered was delicious. One dish (chilaquiles) never arrived from the kitchen but we were pressed for time so we opted to have it taken off our bill instead of waiting for them to prepare it separately. Dessert, Cafe de Olla, was phenomenal. Pics are only some of the items we tried. Great atmosphere for date night and a milestone birthday celebration. Highly recommend.“

“Incredible experience. Will be returning.“

“Mita is a really wonderful small course vegan restaurant. The courses were varied and interesting and all excellent. I'm having a hard time picking my favorite but the various breads and dipping sauces were amazing. A really fun place to go for special occasions.“

The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!“

“Best sushi restaurant me and my family have ever been to. Our server, Jay made our experience even better with his service that went above expectations. They also gave complimentary matcha ice cream for our birthdays that was insanely good.“

“I had such an incredible experience at Yume Sushi last night! Casey the bartender, and Matt the manager were incredible. Everything i ordered was absolutely phenomenal. The quality of the food was outstanding, and you could tell so much care went into every dish.

The entire staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Everyone went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. I’m absolutely obsessed with this place and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Yume Sushi to anyone looking for amazing sushi and exceptional service!“

“Incredible food, made me feel like I was back in Africa! Maybe the best Ethiopian food I’ve had in America! Excellent prices too! I recommend the quanta firfir which is a very rare find in Ethiopian restaurants here in the states.“

“Dalia's Falafel catered my husband's big bash birthday party last weekend. It was the best catering experience we have ever had, and I want everyone within a 100 mile radius of downtown Bethesda to know about this fantastic establishment located at 7750 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda, 20814. Ben, Cody and Kevin provided more than generous portions of outstanding food as well as practical support and guidance on preparing, presenting, serving, and storing their delicious trays of salads, sauces and, of course, falafels. They made the entire experience simple and easy. The value of the service we received was far greater than the fee that we paid -- truly! Please don't hesitate to consider Dalia's Falfel, a unique party option, for your next celebration“

“The best vegan dining experience I’ve ever had, and “I’ve been around the block”. From the time I walked in the door and was greeted by the hostess, from the server, the sommelier, the food, ambiance- everything was perfect. The food was unique, and delicious. (even my non vegan friend loved it) however, the presentation and service is what put the cherry on top. Just a one of a kind dining experience that will be very hard to top.“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“Great evening at Anju with work colleagues. The food was exceptional , full of flavor and beautifully done. As chefs ourselves, we were all impressed. Service was warm and smooth throughout. Thanks to Chef for coming by and explaining his dishes ., A great personal touch. Highly recommend.“

“5 stars isn't enough!! From the moment we walked in until the end of our night we were satisfied. The decorations, food, and service was amazing! They even offered me a quiet place to pray :). Give this place a try-trust me (portions may seem small, but it was very filling- we ordered the bowl of fries, which came with a delicious sauce, CROQUETTES, fish burger, beef burger, and gnocchi pomodoro. It felt like we were in nyc enjoy :)“

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

“We love to try new and different foods, and the quality of the food at the Immigrant Cafe was absolutely outstanding. Even our 7 and 9 year old kids found foods they loved. We particularly liked the ceviche, the chicken coconut curry and the dumplings. Foodie four thumbs up!“

“Amazing meal. The food and service were top notch. Service friendly and professional. Beautiful restaurant. Excellent wine list. Host John insured that all went well. All 8 of us greatly enjoyed the experience!“
