50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Lake Hiawatha

“Amazingly delicious ice cream served at a perfect temperature. No matter what flavor I try it taste delicious. Service is great too.!“

“The managers at the Randolph location are great people & very helpful. The place is a fast-casual model, but it is spotless & friendly. The portions are generous. The food is consistently fresh. Their specialty drinks and desserts give you even more of an authentic expertise.“

“Came here for the first time- we’re Vegans, and sometimes it’s difficult to find an Indian restaurant that has many vegan options. The staff went out of their way to help us find the vegan options on the menu, and when they were out of some ingredients to make certain dishes (it’s Diwali, and so it’s a busy time of year) that featured mushrooms and tofu, they actually custom created a dish so that we could try more of what they have to offer. A great experience, and will definitely be coming back!

“Service by Abdul was great!“

“If you want fresh and clean ingredients this the place!“

“We always enjoy our meals at Indian kitchen and Grill. Whether we get take out or dine in, the staff is extremely friendly, the food is fresh and flavorful, the music is calming jazz and the booths are so comfortable. We have many favorite dishes @ we especially love the thickness & taste of the raita. We highly recommend this restaurant, and we also enjoyed it 25 years ago when it was Begum Palace. The owners make us feel like family.“

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“I used to like this place a lot. Last time I was there I was treated like a common criminal. The hostess even walked away with my order to make sure I didn't steal it. LoL. Weird, but I'm not going back to that location. After spending so much money there and having so many birthday parties there , to have this happen was eye opening. Zero Stars for service.“

“Wonderful food. Nice attentive service!“

“A real gem of a cafe, nothing else like it around. From the kind and thoughtful owner to beautiful, whimsical ambiance and of course the most delicious Indian style light lunch fare and desserts! Prices are more than fair. We can't wait to return!!“

“We had an exceptional experience. This was our first time dining at Capital Grille, Whippany and it was perfect from start to finish. The food was perfectly cooked. We each got steak and it was cooked exactly as requested. The sides were delicious (creamed spinach & roasted mushrooms), the shrimp cocktail was one of the best I've had. The presentation was beautiful. We were never rushed, the pace of the dinner was relaxing and enjoyable. Our server, Luisa G. was wonderful! She was attentive without hovering, she had the perfect personality for her job, she was personable, friendly, professional and helpful. The interactions with other staff members were also very positive. We also enjoyed the quiet, sophisticated ambiance. If you're looking for a true steak house experience this is it.“

“The food is delicious!
I got the original chicken with rice platters and one chicken mix gyro wrap. Excellent and momma is really hard to please. We’re transplants from NYC and with NYC being at the top of the dining out / take home capital it is tough for many States and counties to compete with the flavor and cooking styles easily found in NYC just around every corner.

OMGRYRO easily hits all the marks with the exception of the Jerk Chicken. Jerk Chicken flavor profile is no bueno in my humble opinion and that is because it doesn’t come close to tasting like jerk seasoning and can’t compare to true jerk style flavor.

Everything else is we ordered and devoured tasted great, high on flavor with decent portion sizes.

Hope they put the Jerk Season flavor to the chicken NYC style.“

“Great food and exceptional, friendly service!!“

“We went for the first time last Sunday. All I can say is wow. From the wait staff to the kitchen staff to management, everyone was incredibly friendly, unbelievably accommodating when it came to food allergies (they came out to talk about everything in specific detail to make sure it was safe before it was cooked and served), and the food was absolutely delicious!! I would absolutely recommend trying Marakesh out if you haven't been. They will be more than happy to go over the menu and explain anything you might not recognize or need changed because of restrictions. You can also call ahead so it can be prepped ahead of time for you. I will definitely be back again!!“

“This was my second visit to Paheli. It was even better than the first And it was excellent the first the first time. Highly recommended.“

“It's already crowded with excellent reviews here, but it's all true. We went for a meal and had a food experience. If you are a foodie, if you love good Indian, this place is a gem. Make a reservation and let Sonny order for you!“

“Excellent customer service from everyone.When I called to reserve the table Ashishbhai was so polite & send me confirmation text. When I went he personally came & show the table even though He was not working at my table. Pratikbhai is excellent every time. He ask the taste & bring the same taste food. Jambu was so good even he knows what I ordered last time & he brought same order I liked in past. Food is excellent, Everyone liked all the food . I really loved to go for dinner , I wish I have the same service in Paramus.Good luck!!!!“

“I had a fantastic experience at HANCOOK K-BBQ & TOFU SOUP. The Korean food here was surprisingly good, with authentic flavors and great execution. I especially enjoyed the 돌솥비빔밥 (dolsot bibimbap)—served piping hot and full of flavor.

The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, adding a personal warmth to the entire dining experience. It’s clear they take pride in their food and service.

Whether you're a fan of Korean cuisine or just trying it for the first time, HANCOOK is a hidden gem worth visiting. I’ll definitely be back!“

“We have been coming here for years! Love the service, the food and the ambiance ♥️“

“I held a celebration of life in the private dining room. In addition to the food being plentiful and delicious the wait staff were all excellent. I would recommend the Cloverleaf for any special occasion function as well as regular dining. They provided the best venue possible“

“Clearly indicated vegan options on the menu. The Chips & Guac are quite large. The Guac is obviously made fresh and the chips come out hot (freshly made as well) I had 2 vegan chorizo and hash tacos. The tortillas are nicely toasted. I’d totally return to try the Bahn Mi tacos (also vegan). Updated from previous review on 2025-05-26“

“Had a terrible experience today. They gave me the wrong sandwich. Tried to call them to send me a new one but all you get is a voicemail. Emailed them and even messaged them on Instagram and they never responded. So I was stuck at work all day without any food or any reimbursement“

“The best vegan cafe when you’re in the mood for a great scone and cup of coffee! They’re lovely people!“

“Been here 2xs, food, service and atmosphere are excellent. Seasonal cocktails. A stranger , i will call Joy, bought us a drink. Thank you!“

“The food was absolutely scrumptious, there’s really no other way to put it. Everything we got tasted absolutely amazing and the staff were super nice. We were brought an appetizer on the house, I honestly can’t remember what it was exactly, but oh my word, it was amazing. The whole thing was gone in minutes after it was placed on the table, we hardly gave the staff a chance to explain what it was. 10/10 I highly recommend going here.“

“The place is great and the food is delicious I definitely recommend.“

“Best Eggs Benedict in town!“

“what's not the love about this place everything is so good and the staff is Simply Amazing!“

“My BFF and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here, with tasty cocktails. Great atmosphere and kind staff! Festive DJ and music too. Go check it out!🥰“

“The best pizza in NJ“

“the S1 and S9 is what I decided to try and both were tasty. if I had to pick one over the other.....S9 would be it! it was tasty and the bread is on point for these sammiches!!!!“

“What an amazing experience. I drove an hour to get some matzo ball soup and wasn’t disappointed. Stuart took such great care of me and the food was absolutely delicious. The menu has anything you’re looking for, so there are definitely more trips to this delicious spot in my future!“

“THE BEST HANDS DOWN! Wouldn’t be Morristown without!!!“

“Amazing Amazing place! Totally recommend this place!“

“Outstanding! Do choose the bulgar wheat rice instead of white rice or you'll be missing out. The Baba Ghanoush with bread appetizer is superb. We had all different entrees, but so authentic and delicious. We will be back!! This is more stars than what I consider 5 stars.“

“Excellent food! Excellent service! We went this past Saturday and we were a party of 6. Everything everyone had was delicious. Great attentive service. Food came out fast. We absolutely love it! We have went other times before this one and it’s been good every time! Highly recommend“

“I simply LOVE this place. It not only has the best vegan sandwiches and desserts, the hospitality is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The only thing bad is that they are 45 minutes from me. I wish there was one closer to where I live. I would be going more often. I'm hoping one day they will become a franchise. I would definitely want to open a How Delish! ❤️“

“Wow was it busy at lunch. Long line and I thought it would move quicker so make sure you aren’t in a rush. I went with the italian tuna special sandwich. It was good but found it a little dry. It also needed more acidity. The staff works clean which is always good to see. I would come back to try another sandwich. The antipasto salad was good. Nice balance of acidity and saltiness. There is street parking and I didn’t have a hard time getting a spot. Not dying to come back but if I was in the area I would. 3.5 stars is about right.“

“The breakfast menu provided a wide variety of selections. Service was excellent. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend Hapgoods!“

“From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and every detail from the service to the food was top notch. The new owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, checking in throughout the evening and truly making us feel like valued guests. The chef is nothing short of incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell there’s a deep passion and talent behind the menu especially if you’re a fan of French Mediterranean cuisine, which was executed to perfection. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an elevated yet cozy dining experience. A must visit spot that I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“Best Caesar salad I ever had!“

“I was there earlier today with a group of friends for the Christmas special Bengali Food Festival. We were quite impressed by the menu selection. The food was not oily& spicy at all,hence even the kids enjoyed the food. The service was good. I wish the restaurant would be more spacious. Other than that I would highly recommend this place.“

“Very happy to see this place continue to flourish after changing locations, and to see the same faces, too. The kids that work the register/answer the phone are always very friendly and polite, which is hard to come by these days.

As far as the food goes, I could blindfold myself and point to something random on the menu and still be blown away. Besides the typical crowd pleasers, do not sleep on the tortas, tostadas, or serrano salsa.

Seems to still be a local spot that has not been gentrified by 27 year olds that moved out of Hoboken and the city. I would go to war for Macho Nacho!“

“Always a great meal. The staff is great. We just keep going back. You gotta try it.“

“Best coffee and friendly workers“

“Fresh and heathy food. Love it“

“I absolutely cannot give this establishment enough praise. We had a repast for my father there. Another establishment canceled on us at the last minute. Nestor and Louis could not have been more accommodating and helpful, especially given the short notice. They are some of the nicest and most genuine people in town. The food and the service was amazing, and everyone in attendance couldn't stop raving about it. They took a very difficult situation and provided us with a truly amazing experience. If you are looking to host an event or just go out for a great dinner, you will not be disappointed with Chef Freddy's Table. Nestor and Louis will go above and beyond for you.“

“Best breakfast in NJ! Think of a cooking show, with 3 artistic, culinary experts competing to design the most amazing breakfast creation, and to win a 1st place ribbon!!! They have every breakfast food, ingredient and garnish in front of them, and Go! Hands off!!! Step back!!! ??? These amazing winning dishes are what Missy serves to everyone, everyday! Fantastic breakfast specials! 5 stars are not enough!“

“Great restaurant bar and art!“
