50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Astoria

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing! You must try the buffalo wings if you love your dishes with a spicy kick and the buffalo cauliflower bites that simply melt in your mouth! The Chef's V Steak is a rich and flavorful you should try it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is very trendy.“

“Not one to usually leave reviews, but this restaurant is an absolute must! We tried the Octopus, Grilled Calamari, Branzino, and Chilean Sea Bass — every dish was cooked to perfection. The food was outstanding, and the service was just as impressive. Truly top-notch. Thank you! Oriana R.“

“Amazing brunch this morning. Excellent and super friendly staff, food was amazing!🙌🏼👍👏“

“The backyard of the restaurant is great for a summer night out with their open roof. They need to expand the food offerings.“

“This restaurant creates returning customers. The restaurant isn't big, but the food quality stands out. We enjoyed every aspect from flavor to how they plate the food. Staff is consistently friendly and provides thorough assistance. The restaurant offers exceptional food.“

“My friends from elsewhere tried the place I recommend and totally agreed. The workers demonstrated real kindness. Workers make you feel welcome while assisting you. The meals contain surprising combinations that work harmoniously. I question the experience of those rating lower.“

“I couldn’t make it to a dinner with my family and pre ordered drinks for them and the staff was very accommodating , helpful and just overall pleasant. My family also said that they did a great job of serving , the food was wonderful and the atmosphere was great. !“

“This dive bar is simply the best. It is not a flashy, new concept type of bar. When I walked in, I had this bizarre, deja vu experience where it felt like home. It felt like I had already been there a thousand times before and everyone was an old friend. The drinks are cheap and they are served with love. Kinda wish I lived closer so I could visit all the time.“

“Wednesday night’s jam session is the best around. The quality of the musicians who stop by and play a couple of tunes is first class!“

“We had such a great experience dining here — the food was delicious, the atmosphere was inviting, and the service was truly exceptional.

Special shoutout to our server, Jorge, who went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. He was kind, attentive, and had such a calm, professional presence. He checked in at the perfect times and made us feel genuinely welcome and valued.

The sliders were absolutely amazing — perfectly seasoned, juicy, and so satisfying. Will definitely be coming back!“

“I stopped by BZ Grill in Astoria for a quick lunch and left seriously impressed. The owner, Margarita, is a super nice, hardworking lady who clearly takes pride in her food — everything is made fresh and with care.

I ordered the Bifteki Sandwich Lunch Special, which comes with fries. The bifteki (a seasoned Greek-style all-beef patty) was packed with flavor — juicy, perfectly grilled over charcoal, and I could taste a hint of cumin and other warm spices. Easily a 9/10. I also tried the kebab— a delicious mix of ground beef and lamb with Middle Eastern spices. It was tender and flavorful — a solid 8.5/10.

Overall, BZ Grill is a must-try for Greek street food lovers. Great flavors, generous hospitality, and a clean, welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Food was seasoned well and tasty.“

“This pizza is delicious. Even after 3 slices you don’t feel full and weighed down. So good. The dough is unlike anything I’ve had in a pizza. Soft yet crispy. The sauce , cheese all terrific. Found my new pizza joint.“

“Delicious Food Nice Ambiance Excellent Service“

“Slammen yup food is great and your mouth waters with it all!“

“Back at Tufino after 2 years of Covid and the Pizza it’s EXCELLENT as usual. I’m originally from Napoli, IT and Tufinos pizza is just like back home.“

“Excelente!!! Muy buena comida y muy buena atención. Gracias“

“food is delicious. chopped chicken grinder. sooooo good.“

“Truly the best falafel — I’ve been supporting this spot since I was a child and they were a cart in front of the C-Town on Broadway (RIP). Since their spot opened, I regularly pickup or dine in with loved ones. The hot sauce is deliciously spicy, the chicken is always grilled to perfection, the rice pudding is a perfect end to the meal, and the salad+hummus combo is my absolute favorite. Also, as someone with Celiac Disease, it’s been great to have this reliably gluten free delight in my neighborhood. It’s such a wonderful place and I’m so grateful they exist, what a journey it’s been over the years! I also genuinely love the political decor in the restaurant, free Falastin forever and always 🫶🏽🙌🏽“

“I had such a wonderful breakfast experience at The Grand! From the moment we sat down, our server Ruby made us feel welcomed… She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal.

The food was pretty amazing :) The eggs were cooked perfectly and the potatoes were seasoned just right. The Eggs Benedict was also good. The hollandaise sauce was pretty flavorful, paired well with the spinach and ham. We also enjoyed fresh mimosas that made the perfect touch to our meal.

On top of that, the atmosphere is gorgeous; charming decor, lively yet relaxed vibe, and a setting that makes dining here feel special.

If you’re looking for a place in Astoria with delicious food, friendly service, and a vibrant atmosphere, I can’t recommend The Grand enough. A big thank you to Ruby for making our morning so enjoyable! We’ll definitely be back! :)“

This young entrepreneur went from working from home to a beautiful little location. It is a pleasure to contribute to her rise in this field, so give her a shot for your baking needs or just stop by and try her products you certainly will be pleasantly surprised and pleasantly satisfied.“

“Good Pizza🤘🏻worth the travel...“

“I've been here for dinners and cocktails and I have never had a bad cocktail, bad food or a bad time. They have a nice place out back where you can sit and which is a little quieter than the bar/restaurant area and the bar/restaurant has a nice and festive atmosphere. Service is just as good out back as in the front and their prices are very reasonable for the neighborhood.“

“I love the food, the attention it's so good 👍🏻“

“Truly, a neighborhood gem! We love it 🥰“

“Good food and nice ambience, referencing more modern Greece than mythologized ancient Greece. Clean bathroom and seating al fresco in season. Nice atrium in the rear dining room. In September 2024, Queens Libertarians hosted Larry Sharpe at this location.“

“Amazing place. So invited. You walk in and it feels like family. The staff, especially the owner, are all wonderful. I go there with my 1 year old daughter and always get the vegan Spinach pie. OMG sooooo freaking good. I can eat so many of them but I restrict myself to one. Even my daughter loves it. She gets so happy when we stroll on into the cafe because she knows what that means. I hope to try other items but just can’t let go of that spinach pie. Ugh so good lol“

“**🌽 Arepa Café – A Flavor Explosion in the Heart of Astoria! 🌟**

If you're not already obsessed with Venezuelan food, prepare for a serious love affair. I just had the pleasure (no, the privilege) of dining at **Arepa Café** in Astoria, and let me tell you — my tastebuds are still doing a salsa dance. 💃🌶️

First up: the **Arepa Pabellón**. Imagine slow-cooked shredded beef that's so tender it practically melts into the arepa, paired with sweet plantains that feel like nature’s candy, black beans for that earthy richness, and a hit of salty white cheese to tie it all together. Every bite was a *FLAVOR BOMB* — the kind you wish you could rewind and experience all over again. 🌋💥

Then came the Mami de Pernil, which honestly should be illegal for being this good. Juicy, seasoned roasted pork stacked high, garlic mojo dripping off every corner of the arepa, and just enough sauce to make it messy in the best possible way. One bite and I was like, “Okay, who’s the culinary genius back there??” 👏🐷✨

The place itself? Cozy, colorful, and full of warmth — like walking into a Venezuelan hug. Whether you're rolling in with family, catching up with friends, or trying to impress a hot date, Arepa Café sets the mood and delivers the goods.

**Pro tip**: Bring an appetite and maybe a napkin or three — things get juicy fast. 😋

🔥 10/10 — Worth crossing boroughs for.
💛 Flavor: off the charts
🎉 Vibes: immaculate
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Great for: everyone, always

Love this place. Already planning my return. 💥“

“Bai Sushi may seem like a small run-of-the-mill takeout restaurant from the outside, but they are so much more. The cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff make for a wonderful dining experience. The food is amazing (raw or cooked). There’s something for everyone who likes Sushi or Japanese cuisine. They also accommodate if you have dietary needs. Sit in or take out, DEFINITELY stop by!!!“
