50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Hightstown

“It was our honor and privilege to be a part of a dear friend's B'day Bash last Sunday at Kochi. Dining at Kochi was one of the, if not THE, most memorable experience ever. We were totally floored by the exquisite food - and service - provided by Chef and Owner Mr. Jebu Matthew and his team. From the cool berry drink and amazing classic South Indian appetizers, to the numerous - and for us, many new - items that kept appearing in front of us almost magically during the main meal, served in the traditional South Indian style (on banana leaves), right through the delectable halwa and delicious jaggery rice payasam (desserts), we could feel the love and careful attention with which each item was prepared and pride with which each item was served. Plus, being served by Mr. Matthew himself was, in and of itself, humbling. He patiently explained the intricacies of each delicacy which helped us understand the complexity of the cuisine's varied flavors. To be actually seated (for hours) and served at the table greatly enhanced the culinary experience. We have rarely, if ever, felt that we have consumed a feast - but now, can proudly say so - because of Mr. Matthew and our experience at Kochi. This one-of-a-kind mesmerizing event will remain etched as an indelible lifelong memory. Thank you so much - for making this magic happen. Wish Mr. Matthew only the very best in all his endeavors !

“Went today with my family for brunch It was the best. My son is vegan, He also really enjoyed this great food“

“My sister and brother-in-law, who live in Jersey, stopped me at Morgan's before we hit the turnpike to take me home to Delaware. Wow, I was so impressed by the flavor and the portion size. Honestly, they have the best curry goat and oxtails I have ever had; and the seasonings are perfect. I will be going here every time I come to Jersey, and that's a promise. You have to go there!“

“good food. nice employees“

“Everything was Great haven’t had Tacos that Good ever“

“My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to visit and have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose Tavern on the Lake for Hightstown, our 150th town.

Great eats and comfort food in a place that is at the center of the town. They have a fantastic beer selection on draft that rotates over time. For the fall season, we had a Hot Toddy and Spiked Cider. The French dip sandwich and crab cakes were great.

When there's warmer weather, they have a great outdoor patio too!“

“Anthony’s Chicken & Grill has amazing cheesesteaks and their cheeseburgers are great too! The restaurant is always clean and the staff friendly and helpful“

“An excellent variety of wines to taste, both local and more well-known varietals and both dry and sweeter styles. Though most of the wines were not to my taste, they were well-integrated wines and the person serving was extremely knowledgeable. A wonderful setting with outdoor space, where we were fortunate to find a guitarist/singer entertaining on a beautiful afternoon in central Jersey. Only the tasting area itself marred the experience; it was too small and too loud and not adequately staffed.“

“Excellent chef and delivery service“

“Had a really nice experience at this restaurant. The food was amazing , service was quick ,Dheeraj for the excellent service — very polite, attentive, and quick to help with everything we needed. Definitely looking forward to coming back again.“

Please give kudos to Zach who fixed the bill which was done asap and to let Patty , my delivery Angel know she was missed on 1/11 and none Other is like her she makes sure I have all the Extras and is sooo sincere and over the top service ?❤❗“

“I have been spoiled and will no longer be able to get Chinese food back home anymore.

All the fried dishes were perfectly done, the batter light and crispy, even sauced. The sauces aren't your normal takeaway sauces (no neon red sweet and sour sauce here), they appear to be made in house by hand. And the shrimp! I don't normally order shrimp at Chinese restaurants, but if you don't order a shrimp dish here, then you are doing it all wrong. The shrimps were huge and perfectly cooked.

Overall, 10/10. We will be coming back the next time we visit from New Orleans.

Our favorites: Spicy Girl roll, the Dragon and Phoenix and the penang curry.“

“Mi Espana is outstanding! Totally blew us away! Absolutely fantastic authentic home cooked Spanish food!! The caldo gallego (soup with greens, pork, white beans & potatoes), sopa pescado (seafood soup), chicken paella, pulpo (octopus with vegetables), and torta dessert were all fantastic! The chef clearly loves what they do and you can taste it! Great service too! Better than the Spanish restaurants in NYC, N. NJ & Philly and very reasonably priced! Can't wait to go back!!“

“I’m a big fan of Dosa grill, have always loved their food menu for catering. They always go above and beyond to accommodate any orders, specifically Mirchi pakora … that’s a big hit in parties. I would certainly recommend them for any catering needs.“

“We went to dine with this rag tag restaurant and the experience was awful. The waitress had no teeth and asked my son for his? At first we thought “hey maybe they are joking” then all of a sudden. They lady grabbed his front bicuspid. Needless to say - at that point we were concerned. Because we had a long day we were still hungry. So we stuck around. The next thing you know. The toothless individual brought another toothless friend and tried to get my tooth as well. At that point. We know. Time to get out of here. We were cooked. Unlike the food at this gross place.“

“We were a lot of women with coffee on our minds - the food was good and service even better !! Thank you so much for the customer service and delicious quiche !! @AlegriaSeniorCare“

“delicious food, great service!!!!!“

“Stopped for lunch with hubs and friends. We we're looking to share a pizza, this is NOT that place. Yes, personal size for dine in. We opted for sandwiches. 2 ordered the roast pork, broccoli rabe, sharp provolone and both finished and raved how delicious 😋 Other 2 of us ordered the cheesesteak with LTO, red wine vinegar and olive oil, I added light mayo. The rolls these sandwiches were served were fantastic 😋 The sammies were NOT "packed" with fillings like a cheesesteak joint. Nicely presented with homemade potato chips. Quality of ingredients is huge because I can't eat a lot. The red wine vinegar and olive oil was top notch. I use red wine vinegar almost daily 😋 I would definitely go back for the same meal, about 1hr from my home and worth the trip 😋“

“Chopt in Princeton is great!!! The Uber driver didn’t deliver my order so I called the restaurant and the manger (Natalia) reimbursed my order and had my order remade and delivered it herself. She also gave me a coupon. She went above and beyond. She is awesome!!“

The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. The food came out fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared definitely exceeded my expectations.

Overall, fridays was a spot I’d happily return to and recommend to anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“A hidden jewel. This 50's themed diner is always immaculate. Staff is well trained and really friendly for this family owned business. We, until recently, worked our business from home so Chris's is our home from home. Always accommodating, food is excellent, prices fair. My happy place❤“

“Maynor was amazing and you could tell he truly knew what he was doing and genuinely cared about serving us well. The food was fresh and full of flavor, especially the truffle flatbread and the roasted potato ravioli, both simple and delicious in the best way. The apple cider donut with homemade ice cream was super good and felt like the perfect comforting ending. The drinks were great too, especially the spiced pear gin with a really nice balance of ginger and botanicals. Overall it just felt like a warm, welcoming place in Princeton where everything comes together naturally.“

“I was thankful to find Steve and the Stonebridge bagel shop for my daughter's wedding breakfast and lunch. Less than a week before the big day, on Labor Day weekend no less, I reached to Steve, and he was AMAZING! They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and made everything stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests couldn’t stop talking about it (and kept going back for more!). Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully set up. Truly one of the best decisions we made for that weekend—highly recommend!“
