50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Highlands

“We ate at Franny’s yesterday after attending a scouting merit badge class nearby. Everything was amazing. We communicated ahead of time to ensure they could accommodate our party of 16 and were able to place our order ahead of time too. Everything was seamless as we walked in with a table ready and the pizza immediately arrived fresh from the oven. The pizza was a perfect crispy thin crust and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Service was attentive but she said she had to take our appetizer order and main course at same time but assured us it would be spaced out. It was not. Main entrees came out as we were still on the appetizers and they even wanted to take the appetizer plates away. Spent $340 and this is what we get? Never will return again!“

“The fresh ingredients, the unique flavors, the spice-level made-to-order and the hospitality make this one of New Jersey's best restaurants!“

“We were searching for delicious Indian cuisine and we found it at Tandoor India Restaurant. The chicken biryani was delicious delicious and large portion filled with plenty of protein. The samosas or large and hot and very tasty. I had the chicken korma delicious and savory. As you know we had to take a doggy bag because we were unable to finish our meal. The atmosphere was very friendly and another couple who was seated next to our table would not stop talking about how delicious the food was.
Thank you for making our Asbury Park experience a memorable one.“

“I’ve been a customer since they opened, and I still get excited when I sit down to a Love Bowl (tempeh and spicy peanut). The owners are dedicated, hardworking, and their food is delicious and satisfying. Updated from previous review on 2026-05-15“

“Soul Kitchen is amazing! Our students love working with the great staff and always feel welcome and learn great skills and life lessons. The student favorite part of the soul Kitchen experience is of course the delicious food made by Chef Emily and her staff. The Matawan Regional staff and students want to thank Bon Jovi and all his supporters for a great experience and relationship!“

“Been a customer for twenty years. Solid BYOB Italian restaurant with a veteran staff. Owner and general manager are always present. Ownership changed 9 years ago. Very good fresh pastas. I’m totally a fan of their main marinara sauce. Sometimes I’ve asked for it on the side. My wife and I have liked the seafood pasta panadora. I tend to order a lot of salads and I’ve tried most of them. My favorite is their chopped salad ($18). Sometimes I get it with the chicken option. I really like their own salad dressing. It’s a little different. The Greek salad is really good too. The braised slow cook short ribs are very popular; a long time specialty item. Their lunch menu is very reasonable. Surprisingly good burgers and sandwiches. I’m particularly a fan of their tuna sandwich, with several variations. I have found the service to always be excellent. I noticed their bread has been outstanding. Owner said they invested in a new ovens from Italy✅ Their homemade carrot cake is excellent, and I’m fussy when it comes to carrot cake, my favorite😀 Great location in downtown Red Bank on Wallace Street, which is not busy. There is municipal parking nearby. Keep in mind you generally have to pay in Red Bank unless you’re willing to walk a bit. Also, a special mention goes out to special events. They’re particularly good at parties. They scale well to what the needs of the event. It can be simple to full sit-down dinner or buffet.“

“Amazing authentic Mexican food. So delicious and the service is fantastic. Sometimes there is a wait but totally worth it.“

“I visited The Herd Juicery and was totally impressed. They have refreshing fruit bowls and juices, and they serve hot meals that are gluten-free and plant-based. For anyone who has celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's nice not having to worry about gluten cross contamination. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Even my husband loved his bowl and felt full afterwards without needing to take a nap. The smoothie bowls were a perfect guilt free desert!“

“The best. Our son, and our favorite spot! Thank you for the birthday hospitality Nick and staff. Nicholas really enjoyed himself and the food was amazing as always.“

“Amazing tuna poke bowl! Will be back!“

“it has been awhile since I was in Atlantic Highlands when JUS was still open. I am so glad that I was able to stop in today. The Chia pudding was always a favorite. The pudding used to be served in a small cup by itself. Well now it comes in a bowl with fruit, nuts, syrup and then some .... it was delicious before but even more fantastic now. And sorry, no photo because it was eaten before I wrote this! Yum!“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

“Come here every time I am in town. The whole team hustles. Last visit was made all the better by our server, Mike. I was sitting in the far side of a large booth. He noticed my ice had melted in my decaf iced americano and brought me a fresh cup of ice. I was blown away to the quiet attention to detail.“

“We’ve been going to Illiano’s nearly 36 years. It’s been great since day 1. We usually do takeout and find the pizza, subs and garlic knots to be the best in Monmouth County. When we moved out of town about 3 years ago we tried to find something that was comparable and closer, but that didn’t work out so make the trip back just about every Friday night. We highly recommend them!“

“fun venue with creative Space.“

“The food is great, served in a timely fashion, service very good. Lobster salad sandwiches are outstanding.“

“Amazing, family-run business that never compromises on quality! Even as Omakase has grown, their sushi is always made with the freshest ingredients. I can’t wait to see how they expand upon their catering business!“

“Sono has always been our go to for delicious fresh sushi. Tonight there was a delay with our pick up....it's lent. We get it - they even gave us 2 free sodas to apologize. Then 2 hours later they send us an apology text. Honesty and apologetic. Now that's a classy move!“

“Very friendly. Pace yourself if you are getting the all you can eat meat. If you like medium rare, ask for it and don’t accept well done or rare. They will bring to you what you prefer. We’ve been going here for past 26 years, right now it’s been the best they ever have been.“

“We ordered catering for our son’s graduation party yesterday. It was perfection. Everything was delicious, exactly as ordered, well organized and ready to be served/put in sternos to keep warm. All the guests raved about it, and we have leftovers for today! The pricing was also extremely economical! Yum!!!“

“Best bagels in the area!! Hands down!!“

“This unassuming place involves a great Indian food experience, good selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, catering to different dietary needs, which includes, flavorful fishes made to order, (for those of us who can’t have salt, they make any requested dish, with no salt involved), freshly baked naan, and dishes that cater to different spice preferences. Dishes are absolutely always well-seasoned, with a good balance of spices. The atmosphere is always welcoming, with friendly service, and generous portions. Attentive and knowledgeable staff who are happy to offer recommendations and explain dishes. We’ve been coming here for years and converted many of our friends to Indian food, due to this place. The food and service never disappoints. From the hardworking owners to the amazing staff. Everything is absolutely, delicious.“

“The food is excellent. Fast service. Friendly staff. Pinnell was an excellent waiter. I give them 5 stars.“

“If you are looking for a custom cake that looks amazing and tastes delicious, I highly recommend Cups & Cakes in Rumson. Denise and her team created a wonderful cake for our daughter with her college logo/High School grad. Everybody loved it! They go above and beyond to make your vision a reality! Thanks, Denise!“
