50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Short Hills

“Food was hot, service was on point. We enjoyed the app, our beverages, our meals and dessert. Always happy with the food.“

“very entertaining n food was very good“

“Guys, I stopped in yesterday to check the place out. I got to speak to Angie, one of the owners and I purchased a piece of Carrot Cake to take home. I had to take a bite the second I left the store. Just a taste. OMG! It was the best Carrot Cake that I ever had! So moist and full of flavor! I was very impressed. Sadly ... that piece of carrot cake barely made it to my car let alone back to my house! And you know what ... Not only was that carrot cake awesome, it was GLUTEN FREE. Now to put things into perspective for you all ... I own Ahrre's Coffee Roastery (Westfield & Summit) and -- way back in the 90's -- I owned the Common Ground Cafe in Summit. I have sampled cheese cake from countless commercial bakeries over the years. It was always my favorite type of cake and the ruler by which I judged the bakery. Taste Buddy is legit, folks! CHECK 'EM OUT!“

“This was my first time visiting the restaurant. It came highly recommended by friends. I had such a wonderful time. Although I did not find it good for conversation, the food and energy made for a great time. Loved E.R.I.C. and I have already told so many others family members and friends how great he is, as well as the food ?. I'll definitely be back. Thank you.“

“I was kind of disappointed when we came to pick up our order that it wasn’t ready yet. Many staff would asked me and my husband what we were standing there for and looking like waiting for something, but not coming back to tell us anything about our order except the last lady who took care of it. We ordered the food online at 1:00pm for a pick up at 8:00pm. Isn’t this enough time to get it ready? We even generously put in a more than a reasonable tip although we’re not dining in, as it is the New Year, time to be grateful and appreciative. We did not mind the waiting but it’s the way staff was asking us and doing nothing. One more thing, it was good before we left we checked all the 3 bags of food for completeness because one main course was missing and one staff noticed us and we told her about the missing food. She went to the kitchen and came back in 5 seconds with the missing food. So someone missed to put it in the bag. The Cheesecake Factory is one of our bests but sometimes it disappoints us for a valid reason.“

“Had their food couple of times and its mouth watering.“

“I love me a good AÇAI bowl and this place is really nailing it. Really friendly service, clean accessible location with parking, high tech seamless checkout, interesting menu. Now to the bowl. Their granola branded as SoulNola is really another level of deliciousness. It has a chewy sweet almost molasses like quality that’s awesome. Açaí was perfect texture and taste and all the right ratios of fruits added. A must try.“

“Service by Abdul was great!“

“My first time going there and the food was good. I got the fried mushroom platter with wild rice, chickpeas and salad. I felt good eating the food. It wasn't greasy or had me feel like crap while eating it. I'm from Philly and was visiting Newark for the weekend, but when I come back, I will be going there again. #vegan #blackowned #italisvital“

“I had the Mushroom Oyster Burger 🍔 and I’m not Vegan but wanted to try something new………. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! Actually I usually never finish my food but I ate every bit of that sandwich…… if you haven’t checked them out you definitely should you won’t be disappointed 😁“

“The establishment was impeccably clean, and the service was truly exceptional. The food was outstanding - it had excellent flavors, was cooked to perfection, and was not oily in the slightest. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite. What's more, the customer service was top-notch, with our server providing attentive and efficient assistance throughout the meal. Come by you will not regrets it! The chofan was our favorite!“

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

“Nice food and good customer service, only parking is hard to find.Had dinner food quality and quantity both were good.Resturant is small in size and has only 4 booth that I have seen.Nice and warm atmosphere inside. Open sitting arrangement outside as well. If all 4 booths are occupied then you have to wait and waiting area has only 1 couple seat, more than 2 persons have to wait outside.“

“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.“

“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“

“Everything is great. The food,staff and portions.“

“Should be best best restaurants list in NJ!“

“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 pizza and dessert were delicious and the service was even better. Highly recommend visiting if you are in the area!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Healthy food, healthy environment Taste great!“

“I ordered the Nina Simone Smoothie: Mango, Key lime, Agave, Banana, Coconut 🥥 Mylk. Queen Latifah Tea: Dandelion. Lauryn Hill Bowl: Teriyaki Stir Fry, Sautéed Oyster mushrooms, wild rice & quinoa blend, onions, peppers, herbal spices, tossed in Coconut aminos. Do call in advance to check if they are open.“

“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!“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“It was a wonderful experience trying Lebanese cuisine for the first time. I love everything my daughter-in-law ordered. My favorite was the Old City Platter. I got to try different things. The hummus plate was awesom❤️‍🩹“

“Food was good; Drinks are very good“

“Everything is so delicious“

“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“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“one of my go to places now for bowls!! so yummy! especially the fruit, always fresh and delicious! i especially love their pitaya and acai as well as their chia seed pudding. i always top mine with toasted almonds and coconut for that crunch! 😍😍“

“Food is fresh & tasty. Staff are very nice too.“

“Slaps EVERYTIME!! 🔥🥰💦 #BadAndJuicy“

“Decided to stop in after a tour visit to Montclair University and receiving a gift card for Christmas. Everything was delicious. We ordered brisket fries,cheese fries, smash patty melt, Montclair Blue Burger, build your own burger and 3 shakes. Everything was amazing including the burger buns (fluffy and airy). I wish they were closer to us, Old Bridge could definitely use a really good burger place.“

“We had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Due 360 in Summit. From the moment we walked in, Luis the manager and Brianna welcomed us and seated us promptly. Luis was very attentive and made sure we were happy with our order. Our server Sofia was extraordinary! she was warm and friendly with genuine smile. She offered excellent recommendations and we had conversation as if we're know each other for years. We started with a complimentary bruschetta, it was tasty and nicely flavored. I ordered the Tapas- Polpo Ala Plancha, Steak Yuca Frities and Crabmeat/shrimp tacos. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The portion was perfect and the presentation was impeccable. Due 360 was quite a gem of an Argentine-Italian restaurant (interesting combo but it worked!). This place is going to be my "go to" dining spot. I highly recommend it and the experience is worth it.“

“Great TEC on a Kaiser roll and coffee. Many other great Italian food choices!“

“This place was that perfect sweet treat. Rolled ice cream and the pleasure of finding out they got 21+ ice cream was a blessing. I thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream and the little games the owner has on the side for you to enjoy yourselves if you bring company is even better.“

“I really enjoy their food and service here. The food is always really good and is such a good spot to get all natural juices also! I recommend this place and everyone I've brought here enjoyed their meals. The Pulp Burrito which has quinoa is real good with the special sauce they have there and is one of the food items I'd suggest you'd try also. ?“

“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!!“

“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!🥰“

“Best Eggs Benedict in town!“

“Very fun social vibe, special Birthday ritual, food was excellent, I practically licked my plate, service was attentive and the manager very active.“

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)“
