32 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Amherst

“Found this randomly when I was traveling. Stopped because of the awesome name, and it certainly was Naan-tastic! Had a Tikka paneer rice bowl, and it was so delicious. My only complaint is you don't have locations in Massachusetts where I live ❤️ 1,000 Stars!“

“I lived in China for years and loved hot pot and Korean BBQ. This place is hands down the best dining experience I’ve had for both! The buffet had a huge variety of foods and was constantly being replenished. The staff were all extremely friendly. And you were brought to your seat by the cutest robot… We will definitely be back!“

“Their lemon pepper wings are absolutely phenomenal!! Love their fried deviled eggs they're so delicious! The biggest Bavarian pretzel I've ever seen! Place is really cool & the staff was friendly.“

“I wanted to go someplace different for my "Belated" Birthday Dinner and I was in the mood for Italian. I needed Pasta . So, I looked on YELP & decided on "Carrabba's". I am so glad I did !!! My son & I got there around 6pm and had about a 10-15 minute wait. There was a bar to the right & most of the dining was to the left. It was clean & had a comfortable feel inside. We were seated & I had already planned what I wanted to eat the night before, so I wouldn't take forever deciding once I got there. But first, we were served delicious, soft, warm Italian bread . It was so good. We ended up getting it 3x I believe. Our waitress's name was Ashlie S. She was great !!! Very nice, friendly, helpful, funny & very easy to talk to. I order the LINGUINE POSITANO WITH CHICKEN, I got the MAMA MANDOLA'S SICILIAN CHICKEN SOUP & the CANNOLI CAKE FOR 2 for dessert. Everything was phenomenal !! The pasta was so light but with a burst of amazing flavors ! The soup was so good & with huge pieces of chicken in it. Yummmmmmy !! The Cannoli Cake was very good & because my birthday was yesterday, Ashlie gave me a few scoops of vanilla ice cream with syrup & a little birthday candle in it. She was so sweet. Everything was just perfect ! I had an amazing experience here tonight . I found the prices to be reasonable , at least for what I got. We had quite a Long waiting time to get our food, but it was soooo worth it ! They have a special deal going on. I don't know if it's temporary or always going on, but it is a great deal. Whatever the price of something you order for in the restaurant, you take home ANYTHING for less for $10.00. No matter what the regular price. I took home another Linguine Positano,but without the chicken. So now I have an amazing lunch & dinner for tomorrow, since I didn't even finish my pasta there. We also received extra fresh bread to take home. 100% satisfaction on the trip. Also, the ladies room was very clean & smelled good. (That never happens ) I will most definitely be returning to this Carrabba's & I hope I get the wonderful Ashlie S. as my server again. She was full of life, unlike a couple others I saw that looked like they were ready for bed. lol“

“Best food ever! I keep coming back“

“Food is amazing and our servicer was knowledgeable on wines!“

“The stir-fried noodles with pork and vegetables hit the spot after the Yankees win tonight. I am definitely the most interesting thing you will find at this table, though. If you are a cutie who appreciates good food and great company, I am around for a conversation.“

“We had an issue recently with the take out service at Tullys in Fairmount which was a rare occurrence. The food is always consistent and service prompt. I felt it was important to share my experience with management as I knew it was not typical of this location. I was called by Allen the manager who had been a friendly face for years. He was very apologetic of the situation and appreciative of my feedback, he wanted to make it right and advised me to ask for him when we decided to dine in again. We went on a typical busy Friday night. We’ were greeted and almost immediately sat. Before our meals touched the table he came over to advise me that one of our meals was on him as a courtesy. Allen is an important part of the Tullys family and the Fairmount location. He is always friendly and cares that his customers leave satisfied. The food was nothing less than delicious, tenders and fries came out cooked perfectly and within 10 minutes of ordering. Great Job Allen and Fairmount Tullys team!“

“When I visit Buffalo, I always have to stop in for Duffs wings. I was there today 2-27-2024 with friends from high-school“

“We have been in Buffalo 10 days. This is by far the best food we had so far. We will be back.“

“This place felt incredibly homie from the moment we walked in. The customers all seemed like regulars, which actually made me feel right at home. The staff was kind, efficient, and our server checked in on us consistently without ever being overbearing.

But the food was the real star. Every dish we ordered was well‑seasoned, flavorful, and genuinely delicious. Not a single miss on the table. If I can pick one over everything else, it is the chicken Marsala. It is a must! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Endless fries soda refills All around great place“

“I had a fantastic experience picking up an online order here! I arrived 10 minutes early, and the staff already had everything ready to go. I ordered a French Toast Feast and a Mushroom & Spinach Omelet (with 3 pancakes) for my team at work. The serving sizes were exactly as advertised and a massive hit with my colleagues! The omelet was absolutely fantastic.
​What really stood out was the service—the host made sure everything was correct by showing me each item before I left. That’s a wonderful touch you don’t normally see nowadays! They also thanked me genuinely for my purchase, which really brightened my day. Highly recommend this location for great food and stellar service!“

“The food is fantastic. I had a chicken souvlaki breakfast and it was delicious. The chicken was very tasty and tender. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the potatoes were seasoned beautifully. Charla, our server was very friendly and efficient. It is worth the drive from the city.“

“Absolutely loved the brunch there today! The smoked salmon benedict and esspresso cheesecake! Can't wait to go back!“

“Great service tonight, we had a party of 13ppl. Waitress was patient and kind. Food as always was great. The Waitress knew I wasn't fond of raisins so I got my rice pudding raisin free.“

“My first time going into the restaurant. Very good meal that was very flavorful! Just a gem tucked away in a small strip mall in Clarence, NY. Be going back there to taste their other menu items!“

“China Taste is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Buffalo/Niagara region. Believe me when I say - it is one of very few authentic Chinese food places in the area. And no, it's not like any typical Chinese takeout place, and the fact that we drive 30min each way to eat there almost every chance we get shows just how much we love it. We always order enough food for 6-8 people and then take the rest home and eat them throughout the week.
They have a huge menu and we continue to try one new dish every time we go. I don't have pics of everything we've ever ordered but our favorite items are:
1. sweet and sour pork - we always always always order this no matter what, and sometimes we get another order to go. It's nothing like the ones you get from other Chinese places. The coating is super crispy, and maintains its crispiness even after microwaving.
The sauce is tangy with a hint of sweetness and not all thick/gooey and sugary like other places.
I don't even like sweet and sour pork as a dish but I absolutely love and crave this all the time.
2. As for soups, we usually go for the Westlake beef soup. It's seasoned ground beef with tofu in a delicious egg drop like broth. It has a lot of cilantro so if you're not a fan of cilantro you won't like this. The wonton soup is very good too but it has seaweed in it for those who might not be a fan. I think you can probably ask for it without the seaweed though.
3. Scallion pancake stuffed with pork, beef, or lamb. All the meats are a little spicy and all are delicious, but our favorite is the pork. There's this homemade kimchi inside and it just makes it extra delicious.
4. Green beans and minced pork - it's my personal favorite vegetable dish. They did make this other dish that has bean sprouts with sliced pork but they took it off their menu a couple of months ago because not enough people order it :(
5. All the dumplings. They're all homemade and I love them because the dough is not super thick like most other places. There's a good dough to filling ratio and that's one of the key characteristics of a good dumpling. We usually ask them to be pan fried (hubby prefers them that way) which takes extra long to do and costs extra, but is worth it if you like more of a potsticker style dumpling. Also, the wontons in spicy sauce is very tasty too - that's a dish we typically order as well.
6. We usually get some kind of beef dish. The ones I remember liking are the beef with scallions and onions, the black pepper beef, and the spicy shredded beef.

It’s a small space and the atmosphere isn’t the greatest for say, a date night. But it’s always clean, the staff is always friendly, and the food is always delicious!“

“Went to the Amherst NY location for my birthday on September 30th, our waitress Rachel was fantastic! She’s extremely personable, knowledgeable and caring. The manager is also excellent. My hubby ordered a blooming onion that Rachel reordered on her own, the second one was perfect! The manager even came out and spoke to us. We weren’t and didn’t complain at all but they made sure our visit was memorable and it was. I highly recommend this location, food, service and staff was excellent! Thank you for a wonderful experience 😊kudos to The Outback Amherst, NY staff!🎉“

“To experience with my food 18$ I not believe it“

“The food is excellent here, it was super busy. Took about 15-20 mins to get my food. Other than that I would eat here again.

It's hard to find places open late for eating. I visited after my 2nd shift ended and got there around 1230am. Didn't get my food till about 10min 1am.“

“I’ve been going here with my partner for almost 10 years. We had one of our first dates here and I can never get enough of the vibe or the food! Awesome for casually going out to dinner and perfect for date nights :) here’s the recipe for my favorite sauce I make!
Add to a bowl:
• Minced garlic
•Cilantro
•Green onion
•Peanut sauce
•Sesame sauce
•Mustard sauce
•Hoisin sauce
•Soy sauce for salt
•Top with crusted peanuts, tweak the recipe to your taste and enjoy!“

“Phenomenal service with a smile food is always hot delicious and very appealing plating“

“The BEST Chinese food I’ve ever had! If you are even considering ordering Chinese food, order from Golden Wok. The rice is authentic and flavorful. The orange chicken and General Tso’s chicken are saucy with the perfect amount of spice, flavor, and veggies. The crab rangoons are crispy perfection and the egg rolls are crunchy and delicious. The portion size is enough to have leftovers and the food is so good that I don't ever want to order from any other Chinese food restaurant. Find your favorite dish and give it a try because you will not be disappointed.“

“The absolute best pepperoni (well done double pep) pizza in the Buffalo area. Crust has fabulous texture and flavor. Sauce is good, not overwhelming. The pepperoni crisps up and isn't wafer thin.
I no longer live in the area but when there I take a few home with me.“

“We had a fabulous time today! The drinks & food were superb! We will be back! Thank you“

“I love this particular Mighty! Anthony the manager, and Lee, were really awesome to me. Great service even though it was super busy in the store. I had left an item from my order and had to call them and let them know. When I got there I got what I had returned for and the two of them were super friendly and helpful. Anthony is always smiling and really nice to me, and all the customers there at the time. Every time I go there. This location is equidistant to another Might on Niagara Falls Blvd, and I choose this location always as it cleaner, faster and the staff is really welcoming.“

“Bocces on Hopkins - 5 stars because I always love the food. A better system to determine who is there first for a take out order would be good. Even as simple as enter from the right, there’s no direction and it’s a little tense in there!“

“This is my favorite place to eat in the area. I like the buffet because I want to eat and be on my way without waiting. The food is good and I have no complaint with service. I like shrimp and shellfish and there is a good selection of that as well as several choices for chicken.“

“The new remodel made this place look very bland and commercial. Great food, good chips and burritos, nice queso. A little cold in the restaurant. The two female employees working the counter gave us a very bored and quiet “Welcome to Moe’s” and then immediately returning to their conversation about the woes of life. But they were friendly overall. Tables were clean, and the soda machine was all filled up and working, which is rare for those! Very adorable decorations, especially the line of stockings above the front door and windows.“

“Needed something quick and filing for lunch so I drove up the block to LaNova. Parking was easy to find and the pizza slices I wanted were fresh out of the oven.

They had a few options available such as original pepperoni, steak, tomato and cheese. I got a great deal on 2 slices and a pop for apx $11.

Delish!“

“First time ordered from them . Got wrong parcel & that chicken has bad odor that I really didn’t like . Rice was good & really got a large portion of lettuce & tomato 😆 I don’t know what I can say …actually my expectation was super high but the food was just ok.“
