50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Rockville

“I got myself a yummy lunch this week. I love the fresh ingredients and amazing flavors. I love that I can eat meatless and still feel satisfied and full. I highly recommend this gem of a place.“

“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!“

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

“Came in on a hot day (July 2025). Loved the noodles, ease of ordering on the monitors and good seating to work thru lunch break. The customer service was 12 out of 10. All the workers were friendly and attentive. They greeted everyone, cleaned up after each guest, and asked every customer how they were doing and if they needed anything. Kudos to the ladies in the kitchen. I do think the AC is broken so it can’t be easy. There were also no bathrooms so I wasn’t able to wash my hands.“

“Only complaint is the alcohol. My friend ordered white wine and received a tiny amount, I believe about 3.5 oz. When she asked if she could have a larger serving on her 2nd glass they increased it to about 5.5 oz. Most places in this county ask if you want a 6 or 9 oz glass. They gave some excuse why they couldn't do that. I ordered a draught beer which also looked a bit less than the pint glass I'm used to, maybe a 12 oz glass. That is my only complaint but it's a pretty big one.“

“First time here! Love this place!“

“love it here! great asian options in a comfy location!“

Seating is limited, but it’s easy to take the food outside and eat it there.

Vegetarian options: Vegan menu with lots of gluten-free options.

Dietary restrictions: Great assortment of vegan food, which is easy to make gluten-free if the dish isn’t already gluten-free.“

“What a meal! We only ordered three things — garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and chicken biryani — but it felt like a feast. The naan was soft and fluffy, the tikka masala was insanely tasty, and the biryani? Flavor bomb! Totally hit the spot.“

“Great food Butter chicken was particularly good“

“I have eaten here thrice before. with my colleagues. I ordered the basil fried rice with vegetable and chicken. It was bursting with fresh flavors and wonderfully intense spiciness. Everything is so clean, and the staff is friendly and efficient! We were the last ones to leave and never felt rushed or like we were being a nuisance to the staff. I had a third, wonderful experience and i highly recommend it!“

“This was our very first time at First Watch and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our server, Mathias, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. He was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations that we loved. Mathias truly elevated our visit and set the bar high for future visits. We’ll definitely be back thanks to the excellent service he provided!“

“I’ve never had ramen soup this delicious before. So far I’ve eaten the spicy miso with chashu (pork) and the Volcano with chicken katsu. Both were amazing, but bonus points go to the chashu because it was unbelievably flavorful even after sitting in soup.

I am now constantly craving the food at Maki.“

“We’ve been going to Carmen since our kids were little. The ice and custard are delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“We had the lunch buffet.
Everything was wonderful, the tandoori chicken was superb and so was the goat curry.
Also many vegetarian dishes. The kheer (rice pudding) was thick and had plenty of almond shavings for flavor. Oh, and masala chai (tea) was included!
Definitely going back!“

“Everything so delicious here. Feel like I am in Thailand. อร่อยทุกอย่างเลยค่ะ เหมือนอยู่เมืองไทย ขอบคุณพี่ไก่ ที่พามาทานค่ะ ❤️“

“Best fries !! Really tasty veggie burgers even my meat loving friends highly recommend this
I don't like the drinks or the sauces (except the maple mustard)
They keep it fun by giving you reward points/deals

This is inside the Whole Foods. No sit down eating space“

“Excellent presentation in hibachi food tossing around and amazing our sights and senses!“

“😊🌟 Fontina Grill: Where Dining Becomes an Art Form! 🌟 If excellence could be served on a platter, Fontina Grill would be the Michelin-starred sculptor behind it. From the moment I walked in, I felt like royalty who somehow stumbled upon the holy grail of Italian restaurants in the DMV. I’m never going anywhere else, because clearly, this place was crafted by the pasta gods themselves. Now, let’s talk about Declan. This man is not just a waiter—he’s a hospitality virtuoso, a maestro of service. Declan served with the kind of confidence, precision, and charm that one would expect only in dreams or in five-star Italian dining halls on the Amalfi Coast. His attentiveness was nonplussable (and yes, I dare you to try and outdo it). I wouldn’t be surprised if he moonlights as a diplomat or a secret agent because his service was that smooth. Jennifer, his right-hand helper, deserves a standing ovation. She made everything seamless, adding warmth, grace, and an extra sparkle to an already stellar experience. I’m convinced they have some secret handshake, a dance of synchronized efficiency and care. It's like watching a beautiful duet—where plates and glasses are the choreography and customer delight is the standing ovation. The food? Oh, bella vita! I had a salad so fresh, it may have whispered compliments back at me. My friend’s pasta dish was a carb-laden poem—tender, flavorful, and divine. Each bite was a crescendo of Italian bliss. Clearly, the kitchen staff channels their inner Da Vinci every time they plate a dish. If this restaurant were a movie, it would sweep the Oscars. If it were a song, it would top the charts. If it were a unicorn, it would be the kind that sprinkles magic over your life. To Declan, Jennifer, and the entire Fontina Grill team: Grazie mille ❤️! And "Un milione di grazie." 🌹🌹🌹 You made me feel special, seen, and incredibly grateful. Never changing. Ever. IN SUMMARY: **Fontina Grill is, without question, the pinnacle of Italian dining—an experience of unparalleled excellence. 🍷✨ Every detail, from the service to the cuisine, resonates with authentic passion and flawless execution. Simply put, it is the *apex* of EPIC Italian culinary artistry and the finest I have ever encountered. 🍝🌟** You become alive when you have gone to Fontina Grill - or maybe you will even become a unicorn 🍀🌟🦄 ITALIAN MAGIC PIXIE DUST WILL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER 🙏“

“I love coming here. From the staff to the food, everything is amazing. Food is always fresh and delicious with plenty of healthy options. Mitch & Kenny do an excellent job taking care of their customers. The cookies are better than crumbl.“

“Wow! My tastebuds went into overload! I ordered a BLT sandwich recommendation from our server (who was great!) and it was the best I’ve ever had! So juicy and unique! The onion rings are definitely over the top as well! Everything coming out of the kitchen from their soups, salads and sandwiches looked amazing! One of my new favorite spots😊“

“came here with a few friends and we ordered the chicken platter, beef kobeeda platter, and gyro wrap - everything was delicious! the green hot sauce and white sauce compliment the food perfectly. the service is great and the food came out quickly. cannot recommended enough!“

“We were in the mood for some dessert and came across Grandma's Ice Cream and Waffles. I had the vegan chocolate milk shake and my friend had the vegan waffle ice cream...all topped with vegan cream. No question a 10 out of 10. So many vegan options: breakfast, lunch/dinner and desserts. Now one of my go to restaurants. Big Bruno“

“We love their food!! Everything we've tried, we love.“

“First off, the waitress was so kind and attentive! Also, the portions are huge; the photo doesn’t even do it justice! I had the pork pan fried dumplings which were some of the best I’ve ever had and the Sichuan beef noodle soup which was good, but nothing spectacular. The broth was super flavorful but the noodles and beef itself were quite average. I probably won’t return for the soups, just out of personal preference towards bigger noodles, but the dumplings were delicious!“

“Always the best food and the family that runs this restaurant is amazing. We like going places where you feel appreciated as a customer.“

“We were in Gaithersburg for a soccer tournament with our son. We googled nearby Italian restaurants and stumbled upon Il pizzico. Being of Sicilian descent, I noticed they had some familiar foods you can’t just get anywhere and made a reservation. What a pleasant surprise! From the carpaccio and arancini appetizers, pasta and risotto to the gelato and cannoli desserts, everything was 5 stars. We will be back in the spring!“

“Temari Cafe has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for unwinding with a comforting meal. The ramen with rich, flavorful broth and tender noodles were amazing!! However, the sashimi was slightly disappointing, as it didn’t seem as fresh. Overall, it’s a great spot for ramen and takoyaki .“

“Great food, speedy excellent service, and excellent vibes. The music they play overhead is pretty loud though, but, it’s definitely a nice spot to go out w/ The family or w/ riends.“

“Trader Joe’s stopped carrying their Morning Glory muffins during Covid and I have been so sad but I discovered Sunflower Bakery and theirs are amazing!!!! Thank you I am so happy!!!!!“

“You will not leave hungry. Had to wait in line for awhile“

“Great service and food as usual. Mushroom soup is always a must. We also ordered salmon waffle, duck waffle and meat lovers omelet. All delicious. Finally, we shared fries with Hollandaise. Mosaic is consistently solid with both food and service. Thank you“

“I am extremely in love with this place, I come with my family and always with friends.

I am always very well attended, the employees are always cheerful and attentive.

Kid-friendliness: My daughters love this place ✨“

“When you are down in DC please visit great food“

“I grabbed a quick but tasty lunch here of their salmon teriyaki bento box. Although the vast majority of their business is take-out, they do have six tables arranged for sit down dining. So I was not surprised when the Miso soup arrived in a plastic take-out bowl with a lid with a plastic spoon. Large cubes of tofu and attention to flavor made it tasty. The California roll was served on its own heavy duty paper plate, with at least a tablespoon of pickled ginger and a teaspoon of wasabi. The teriyaki salmon, two large pieces, was served in an open to-go box, along with a sizeable portion of edamame and a house salad with a lovely ginger sauce. The salmon was perfectly cooked with enough teriyaki sauce to ensure some with every bite of salmon without the fish swimming in the sauce. Clearly a place worthy of a return visit or at least to phone ahead for take-out.“

“Came for brunch and it was such a pleasant experience. It wasn't super crowded. Service was top tier! The Brunch Mania menu $38/person is FIRE. The table comes with a free bowl of feta & herb hush puppies w/ a harissa butter spread that had justtt the right kick to it. You get to choose 1 plate from 3 different lists, and order your lower priced adult beverages. My go to was their mimosa...It was definitely more champagne than OJ 😁 25cents a glass!“

“My favorites are the crabcakes, bbq ribs and the coleslaw! Beautiful,welcoming atmosphere always.“

“Wow !!!!! This store is very clean and the staff members are off the charts ! One young man really stood out to me and he wore a backwards hat and a chain. His service was fenomenal. He was very kind and helpful. It was my first time coming to a Ben and Jerry’s and he helped me find the perfect flavor for me. You all are doing amazing !“

“Thanks! Food was excellent!“

“The Tumeric Latte, Pear Chocolate Croissant and Banana Almond Toast were excellent“

“Delicious food. We just had our dinner delivered to the pool. Lasagna, Broccoli, Caesar Salad. The family raved about it and had 3+ servings, kids included.“

“The team there is amazing, they are approachable and very helpful. It was our first time there, but they made it easier for us to pick a meal which was very tasty.“

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!“

“Good food. Decent service and clean, colorful surroundings. I will go back. For sure.“
