50 Best Vegetarian 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.“

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

“Anassa Taverna Astoria delivers a polished yet soulful Greek dining experience that feels both upscale and inviting. Visited on a Saturday evening with two friends, we were immediately struck by the warm lighting, marble accents, and the hum of a lively crowd. The open kitchen and attentive staff set the tone for a memorable meal.

Highlights:
• The grilled octopus was tender with a perfect char, complemented by capers and onions.
• Lamb chops were juicy and flavorful, served with roasted lemon potatoes.
• Lobster spaghetti featured a rich tomato sauce infused with ouzo and herbs.  

Drawbacks:
• The restaurant can get noisy during peak hours; consider dining earlier for a quieter experience.

Insider Tip:
Don’t miss the complimentary revani cake at the end of your meal—a delightful semolina dessert soaked in honey syrup.“

“Great food. Why no bathroom?“

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

“Such a great neighborhood spot and family owned business! I came in for lunch with my husband, and we had a really relaxing and delicious meal. It was clear that the staff was working hard to make sure that we were satisfied and happy. All of the food that we ordered was delicious! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Not to be missed. Grilled beats fried.“

“The food, service and experience was simply spectacular!“

“Amazing food with great prices. This was one of the best meals I had in NYC and I left very happy.

The place is nice and the food is authentic Egyptian food.

Service is very friendly, only minor things is the water, I wish it was served from the beginning and that we did not have to always ask for it!

Apart from this, this place is outstanding and 100% recommended.“

“Great addition to the neighborhood. Perfect for a date night. Delicious and inventive food and cocktails. The cocktails are soju based. We came for the a la carte menu and the standout dishes for us were the longgonisa, the momo, the trout, and number one was the pork belly. The rice it comes with is insanely good; I think you can order just the rice as a side. Get the rice and thank me later. Will definitely be returning for the tasting menu“

“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!“

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

“Great food, great prices, great staff 😊“

“Villa Brazil Cafe Grill is a fantastic spot in Astoria if you’re craving authentic Brazilian food! They offer a great buffet with a variety of traditional dishes, from savory feijoada to deliciously seasoned grilled meats. The food is flavorful and tastes homemade, and the prices are affordable, especially given the generous portions. The casual, cozy atmosphere makes it a comfortable place to enjoy a relaxed meal. The staff is friendly and always happy to help with recommendations if you’re new to Brazilian cuisine. If you’re in the area and want a taste of Brazil, Villa Brazil Cafe Grill is a must-visit!“

“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.“

“I bring my team here for post fight celebrations since it is located right around the corner from Melrose Ballroom. They can accommodate our group size, have great bar food, there’s Guinness on tap, pickles backs and friendly bartenders. What more can you ask for?!“

“One of the country’s best breweries right in Astoria AND next to a grocery store (grocery shopping always better after a couple drinks). The brewery has cozy indoor space, ample outdoor space, and the folks running the bar are kind and knowledgeable — nothing is pretentious. If you’re an aviation geek, sit outside, as it’s a prime spot for watching narrowbody departures from LGA.“

“Loved the food!! A MUST TRY for anyone!! I had the chicken+rice+salad+white sauce+hot sauce combo and it was AMAZING!! I am from Florida and never had anything like this ever there especially for the price. The food was delicious, clean and cheap too and made me full for the rest of the day. Infact, I liked it so much that I had it twice in the same day since I was in NYC only for a day and didn’t want to miss it. The owner was an amazing guy and he was generous enough to give me Falafel too. The way he talked showed his passion for food. Loved it! I wish we had this in South Florida too.“

“Great service the staff is so nice ! Food was fantastic . This is our first time here !“

“Good food, special drink called, BUTTER! Get ready it's lights out!!.. lol“

“Locals know this is *the* best Thai food in the neighborhood. For delivery especially, the food comes so fast it’s almost scary (did they know my order before I ordered it? How else could they get here so fast?). But the food is delicious and the portions are huge.

In person, Buffs is equally great. The vibes are fun and the service is super friendly and nice.“

“I had my birthday here such a great place to have any celebration, the food was amazing the wait time for the food was not too long, and The staff was friendly and willing to help making it special and enjoyable. The price was too high though that was the only thing that was the issue. But I recommend this place“

“This place has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Queens. A quick walk past the kitchen and the friendly staff on the grill upon entry and you are already excited about what’s to come.

Service is attentive and they offer you a lot of help with the menu if needed. I noticed the table next to me was sharing a bottle of ouzo. They noticed me looking and gladly offered me some. It was a great experience.

Keep in mind they can get busy on the weekends and on holidays.“

The food is delicious and hot. Their tomato sauce is perfect! The sangria is very good too. Great little neighborhood place.“

“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!!!“

“This is our new favorite spot in the neighborhood! We’ve sat in and also ordered from Seamless and they never disappoint. We love the tuna tiradito and veracruz ceviche. Everything is cooked perfectly and the margaritas are tasty and inexpensive. This place is located a bit off the beaten path but it should absolutely be packed everyday. Also, Oscar provides some of the best service I’ve had in years!“

“Good food everything is well made“

“orale tacos a recommended this place the tacos are good“

“The Food ia delicious and the people are very nice and friendly 👍🏽✅♥️💫🙏I recommend 💫👍🏽“

“The arepa I ordered was delicious. I know it was Pabellón but it was beef, with sweet plantains, cheese and beans. The meat tasted delicious. The lady who helped me was very helpful and friendly. Fast service. The only thing I would recommend to the establishment is to find a way to not feel the smell of the bathroom so much. The rest was excellent.“

“Michael's is part of a dying breed in the city. A 24-hour diner with a full menu. Everything I ever had here was good, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Most of the time being in Michael's is a time warp, the same at 2 PM and 2 AM.

Weekend brunch comes with 2 drinks so if you ever wanted 2 screwdrivers at 11:30 AM on a Saturday along with a huge omlette, they got you.“
