50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Astoria

“My friends and I celebrated a birthday party with 12 guests and were completely blown away by the food and the hospitality. The duck, the trout, the skate, the beef longgasnia, the pork with pistachio-- everything was delicious. We did not want the night to end--Definitely our new favorite restaurant in all of NYC!“

“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.“

“Great welcoming management with sense of humor. They listen to your wishes and preferences as well as they discreetly check upon you during the stay. Helpful and attentive service! As always, very cozy athmosphere and very nicely made food - great lamb dishes. Wish the flavor of a hummus starter had more significant taste, it didn't have actually any seasoning, wish the tzatziki side was a little bigger. Would be lovely to have ouzo served on the alco menu as well! Great choice of a sweet mastiha shot as a wrap up of the visit! Will get me one for home! And will comeback!“

“Great food. Why no bathroom?“

“For over 9 years,
I've visited this restaurant in the Astoria area of Queens, NY with my family and friends.
After playing semi-pro soccer and now as an amateur, I always come here to enjoy a great time.
The food is delicious and flavorful, and the service is excellent.
I highly recommend it to anyone.
And the best part? It's not expensive — affordable for any budget.
TN.

“I have loved this place for years. It’s has this really warm, old school diner atmosphere. The food is fresh and delicious without any delay. The staff are so sweet and it’s just such a great experience every time. I’m there almost weekly at this point and it’s just the perfect way to start my day.“

“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.“

“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!“

“**🌽 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. 💥“

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

“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!!!“

“I was ready to be disappointed based on reviews, but was happily surprised. I've enjoyed everything I've ordered from them. The team's care for guests is truly extraordinary. Each bite created a moment of pure contentment. Other customers' comments reflect true quality.“

“Lovely restaurant with home cooked quality food..presented nicely. The restaurant also has its own bakery next door, full selection of American and Greek pastries. We had Thanksgiving dinner. Traditional Turkey Delicious lamb chops and Shrimp Scampi were the main choices for the pre fix meal. Otherwise, you could order off their regular menu.“

“Very good food and service!!!“

“I stopped in on my way home from Rhode Island to Philadelphia. I made the stop because this place has amazing authentic food. I use to live in Queens and came here every week. I since moved a few years back and I will stop here every time I get a chance. Love the owner, very friendly and kind and he hands out free falafel throughout the day.“

“I have been ordering food from Xing’s Chef for longer than I can remember. This is the only Chinese take-out that my 89 year old mom likes! I’m always in a rush and they always have my order ready for me, which I truly appreciate. The food is consistently delicious and the woman who works there is always sweet and kind. She works harder than anyone and always has a smile, even when you can tell she’s doing 100 things at once!“
