50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Astoria

“After visiting Estiatorio Milos at Hudson Yards last week, the comparison made me realize that I’m actually far more drawn to the dining style of Anassa Taverna. There’s something about its atmosphere and approach to food that feels warmer, more effortless, and genuinely enjoyable rather than overly polished. The lobster pasta was outstanding — rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced — while the fried calamari was unexpectedly impressive, perfectly light and crisp without feeling heavy. It’s the kind of meal that stays in your memory not because it tries too hard, but because every detail feels naturally well done.“

“Great food - nice & friendly staff - reasonable prices Everything is excellent“

“Great food and not expensive“

“A few years ago, I was hired to write a series of articles about regional Italian cuisine. Since then, I have been looking for traditional Italian gelato. Until yesterday, I have been consistently disappointed. But this? It was absolutely EVERYTHING I had dreamed about. The prices weren't ridiculous, the bathroom was PRISTINE, the staff were helpful and friendly and it was incredibly, amazingly delicious. My only complaint is that I live too far away from your stores to get it very often. But about that? My hips are less upset about the distance. :) I will definitely be back, though!“

“Loved the soup. Potatoes 🥔 were great and soda is plenty.“

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

“I will dream of the Uzbeki Qabuli Pulao for ages to come!
I've historically not been a fan of lamb, but this restaurant changed it for me. It was so tender and delicious, and the rice and carrots and raisins were so so so good. I don't often find myself in this corner of the country, but when I visit again, I will definitely be making a stop here!
We also had firnee, which I didn't manage to take a picture of before it was gone, because it was so delicious. 🥰“

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

“The food was absolutely fantastic, and our waitress was incredibly friendly and sweet! She went above and beyond by even giving my friend's baby a little toy dinosaur. 🦖

Rivercrest is always a fun time. If you're a sports fan, they have plenty of TVs inside so you can enjoy the game.“

“If you want authentic great Mexican Food & Drink.. Ruta Oaxaca is the best ! Great service , friendly staff and great variety.“

“Must try... Great hospitality and food. Yummy 😋“

“The food & the service are both amazing.“

“Today was our second time here and from start to end this place was outstanding, the drinks were so refreshing, the grill octopus as an appetizer was so tender and yummy, the entree and deserts, all very good !“

“Cool place for Beer! The food is good! I had the cheese curds for appetizer and steak & eggs 🍳 All if it was very good! 👌🏽“

“Delicious Food Nice Ambiance Excellent Service“

“I didnt eat there but my band soft spot played a show there. The band Lo Lux put it on and they did a fantastic job hosting, running sound and being one of the best bands I've played with !
As for the bar itself the staff was fantastic ! barely a wait for a drink even with a packed bar ! If you have a severe peanut allergey this may not be the place for you as they serve peanuts like a bar would serve pretzels with the shells being thrown to the floor. All in all aside from the peanut situation I would definitely recommend going and if you're lucky enough to catch Lo Lux, well you will have struck gold.“

“Live music events and dinner“

“I have used Nerwan for a couple of specialty cakes. Very talented, very accommodating, very delicious, and spot on service. 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.“

“Love a corner restaurant! Staff is always so cool and welcoming. The cocktails are well designed, the space is dark and comfy for groups but I think it’s especially sexy for a date night. I know that offer a few fun happy hour “girl dinner options”. However my obsession lies with the chicken dinner, which normally would not be my go to at a spot, but this dish has a hold on me. It’s such a good size that you could share it but it’s also so delicious you don’t want to. The chicken is pounded thin but still juicy and subtly sweet, comes with an amazing pairing of crazy creamy polenta and this somehow addictive kale, but the true star is the smoky sauce that I want to bathe in. So divine! If they ever got rid of it I would cry.“

“The best cookies in the world“

“Great burgers! Sweet potato fries! Great beer options!“

“Great experience with prompt response and delivery to the medical team! You made nurses of Mount Sinai Hospital very happy! Thanks much! Alla Levin“

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente“

“So delicious! Great people, great service! 😋🤤“

“great food great drag show brunch a full bar w amazing cocktails been going there for years now never fail!“

“I had the Tonkotsu ramen w/ honey glazed ribs, the Okonomiyaki, and the takoyaki for take out. The pork broth was super flavorful and not salty at all. I thoroughly enjoyed the ribs as they were very tender and slid off the bone! They also had a kick to them that paired well with the creaminess of the soup. Though I think the okonomiyaki was my favorite dish so far! Definitely will come back to try the rest of the menu~“

“Love the customer service and food as well as setting.“

“This place is a hidden Gem. The food is Amazing , everything was cooked to perfection, with large portions. Marco is a great server totally on top of him game and super professional. I came to see my son from southhampton NY and definitely will come back here.“

“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.“

“Great restaurant! Great food! Great staff! We love it. We ate there 3 times in 24 hours.“

“Delicious and filling. About 20 min wait in a busy Saturday but worth it!“

“I got a chicken gyro to eat inside, the lady asked “with everything?” and I said yes. Usually “with everything” means that it has fries (and no lettuce). The one I received did not have fries (it had lettuce). Disappointing. It was still great and had crispy gyro meat. I ate inside the restaurant and at some point a worker opened the door and a horrid dishwasher sewage smell blasted out, in my direction. I had nearly finished eating at that point but my last bites were difficult to swallow.“

“The octopus is PERFECTLY cooked. The flavors are incredible. I only wish it came with some potato or salad underneath. We also got the lamb fricassee, that sauce is so lovely and lemony. I think the lamb was just a touch over cooked but that is my only note on that dish. We got a half portion of rice on the side and I would recommend so you can savor every last bit of the sauce! The service is great, and I love the atmosphere. It feels like old New York and you are surrounded by Greek families in the restaurant. They gave bread with a delish vinegar and the end of the meal was a nice rice pudding dessert on the house. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

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

“Good Pizza🤘🏻worth the travel...“

“Had a great time at Bar Dalia having a birthday party yesterday. Ricky, Crystal and Megan made sure everything went smooth. Bryan was very helpful in coordinating and planning. We had about 20 guests in the back lounge area which was just for our party. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was very quick. Highly recommend for having parties or going on date nights.“

“Excellent service and food 🥘“

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

“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 always enjoy the food and drinks here. Luisa was a great waitress and we had a nice time there. The chicken champignon (mushroom sauce) was delicious and loaded with mushrooms. Great classic margaritas for under $10 with lunch. ❤️“

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

“Hands down one of the best spots to order from if you want authentic Palestinian falafel and cold salads and dips. I usually order the mixed cold platter with a side of kofta for delivery and my order never disappoints. They also always add extra warm pita and falafel which is an awesome bonus bc you can never have enough of their falafel! Definitely come check this place out, it’s steps off broadway train station and super worth the commute!“

“Didi’s Healthy Delights in Astoria is a true gem! Delicious healthy food, fresh juices, and amazing service. The owners, Mr. Lal Tamang and Mrs. Anjana Rai, are so warm and welcoming — you can feel their love and care in every dish. Highly recommended! 🌿💚“

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.“

“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“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love love love this place, I have been going here for almost 20 years. Ali is a gem ❤️“

“Stupid, d*** delicious. Will be back every chance possible. Well worth it.“

“Only 1 table inside, but the food is great and worth take out if there's no sitting room. On nice days they have an additional small table or two outside. The owners and workers are wonderful. I'm addicted but can't get there often enough. I dined in, tried just about every dish and got take out also.“

“My favorite restaurant in Astoria. We even did our wedding rehearsal dinner here! They have fantastic Thai and Japanese food and the best coconut rice I’ve ever tasted (including the time I lived in Asia!) Great service and great prices considering how good the food is. Must go!“
