50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Ballston

“The food was great. Parking was plentiful. However, the service was the best I've ever experienced of any establishment in this area. Our food was finished real fast and the person who served my friend and I was so easygoing and professional. Another friendly woman came along quite regularly just to offer coffee refills. It doesn't seem like much, but little things matter. The people who run BHC seem to understand that and it was such a pleasure to visit and spend money there.“

The ingredients are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The chefs have managed to master the balance of flavor, texture, and presentation, making each dish a singular entity of culinary artistry. Impeccable service is another hallmark of Hamlet and Ghost. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food and drink offerings. In conclusion, Hamlet and Ghost is an extraordinary dining destination that masterfully combines outstanding drinks, unforgettable food, and impeccable service in a memorable atmosphere. The complexity and texture of the dishes will linger in your memory, prompting you to return again and again. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough—if you’re looking to treat yourself to an extraordinary culinary experience, this is the place to be.“

“Food that I could eat was ok, but the staff really needs to have a book readily available that lists all ingredients in each dish.
Even if they don't show it to customers, it's critical that at least the staff have access to this information to be able to alert customers whether or not their allergen is in a particular food item.“

“The music , the food and service is excellent w the waiters that make u feel very comfortable ❤️ I suggest panzas especially for a celebration… My friends took me there and it was fabulous“

“Great food, friendly service Support local“

“The atmosphere is lively and the wait staff was friendly. Our drinks were beautiful to look at and exceeded our expectations. We started with the Parkerhouse rolls and were not disappointed. The Empanadas were also delicious. The Jerk Chicken & steak dinner were perfect. Definitely recommend.“

“Phenomenal classic dishes as well as new culinary concepts, served artfully by Ryan, and an ambiance that feels like home. Nick Byrne has done an outstanding job of carrying on the Osteria Danny tradition while adding his own craftsmanship.“

“Best collard greens I've ever had, pulled pork was awesome. Baked beans were tasty and I don't recommend trying the peach cobbler because you will be hooked for life“

“We have been going to Solevo several times per month, weekly during track season, for 5 years, and it’s always a 5-star experience. The food, cocktails, people/service, and atmosphere are all top notch. The homemade pasta, the daily specials, and homemade desserts are always a highlight. Their seperate vegan and gluten free menus are thoughtful and comprehensive, allowing people with dietary restrictions to have a variety of choices.“

“Delicious and HOT food!! The greens and beans and lasagna as delicious! We will be back!!!“

“We had a great time tonight!“

“Authentic Southern Indian cuisine. Great selections for vegan / vegetarian. Excellent food and service.“

“Food is wonderful. Wait staff very well informed. We always ask for Janelle as our Server. My wife loves the Duck recipes and the Escargot. We can’t wait for October fest. We are there every week for the month of October“

“great food FAST definitely fast food was hot an didn't taste old... great staff the kid grabbing our stuff was sweet an our waitress... wish the words ONLY TAKES CASH was a lil bigger on door. Cost me 4$ with my bank fees an their ATM other than that 10/10 would recommend“

“😋Great food, as usual...Rack of Lamb was perfect as well as the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp & Scallops. Specialty drinks from the bar are superb and there are many draft beers to choose from including many from local craft breweries...😋“

“Chicken Schwarma over rice was fantastic! The menu truly has something for everyone. Can’t wait to go back 😊“

“Stopped tonight and we enjoyed the whole experience right from the start. Our server, Audrey, was very pleasant, and the service was fantastic. We decided to have appetizers instead of a meal. We ordered bang, bang shrimp, Buffalo chicken egg rolls and Philly steak egg rolls. All three were exceptional. I’m having a hard time deciding which I liked the best. My husband thought the Philly steak egg rolls were the best. The Manager ( or owner, not sure which) stopped by our table at the request of our waitress. I thought that was really nice. We highly recommend Maxon’s and are looking forward to going again.“

“We were there on June 4th Unbeknownst to us it was the start of Belmont week in Saratoga. The city was mobbed with people great to see. But not great on walk in dining. We were told it would be an hour wait because of all the reservations they had. This was not part of our plan of course. We then spotted an outdoor table in the shade. We grabbed it and the rest is history. We were greeted by Eli our server who by the way is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to craft beer. He managed to recommend beers for all three of us that were delicious. Outstanding job Eli. We shared a spicy little pizza and a charcuterie board and both were awesome. What a great experience from start to finish. great beer and food spells a good time and we will be back for more in the future“

“If you are looking for good home cooked meals, a cozy & homey environment please check out Mom & Pop's Cafe & Catering I tried their Chicken noodle soup and I didn't want to leave a drop. I also tried their Cranberry orange muffin. This muffin was bursting with flavor right down to the last crumb. The staff are super friendly and attentive. The owners Kaila & Steve come out and check on the customers not just the waiting staff. The customers clearly know who Kaila and Steve are as they speak. The environment is clean, well kept, beautiful and makes you feel at home. The tables are set up for sets of 2, 4 & 6 but can easily be pushed together for more. There is a salad & pastry section for those who would like a quick snack for to go. The location is easy to get to and easy to see from the road. They may be the new owners but things are looking smooth from what I saw.“

“A+++++ i got the restaurant week meal tonight, they give you a whole casserole dish of deliciously crispy arancini! The chicken portofino was three portions stacked with chicken, mushrooms, red peppers, cheese and prosciutto! (took 2 portions home) We were so full that our waitress kindly offered to package our bread pudding to go, three separate containers one for the pudding, one for the sauce and another for the fresh whipped cream. Can't beat the staff, so helpful and everyone's constantly waiting on people and the decor is so cute and homey! Check out Ripe Tomato this week or any time.“

“I have been getting the same omelet every Sunday for the last 6 years, and will continue to do so indefinitely. Ribbon catered my wedding in May '24, and long before then they were practically family. This is the best place in Ballston Spa for more than just king Kev's cooking. Wonderful little place filled with happy people always with a smile on their face and a plate of something spectacular always on the way to a table. and that's not even mentioning why Kevin started the place and all the victims of breast cancer he's helped. 💗 love y'all 5 stars is hardly enough.“

“Best drinks!!! Their old fashions are the best in the region!!“

“First time at the Merc. Hostess was very nice. Patrick's professionalism was fantastic and not seen enough these days. Brady was our server and his spirit and recommendations were spot on. The food was great and the Sangria was perfect for a Sunday afternoon brunch.... Thank you all...delish!“

“We shared a bowl of Pho with sliced beef rib eye that was absolutely delicious. We also had an order of the crispy spring rolls that are garnished with fantastic pickled daikon radish & carrot sticks & fresh cucumber slices. I would love more of the pickled vegetable garnish! The whole meal was perfect. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely go back!“

“Dairy Circus is always wonderful!! Large portions, reasonable prices (so uncommon these days), and the girls behind the windows are always so sweet! They also have the best toasted coconut dip! Thank you so much for being a place where our family can gather for a delicious treat!!“

“My most favorite restaurant. The salads , prime rib, hummingbird cake. I so look forward to going to dinner there. It is such a wonderful place and so cozy. It is our favorite. ❤️“

“to the people commenting on the lack of ambiance...? i think it is fine. for me the music is "ambient" enough, along with the lovely wall mural, and photos showing what the food is....not to mention the collection of both holly AND "bolly"wood stars and starlets, adorning a back side wall. the dining area is always SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, and the bathroom shines. they keep the prices very reasonable, which is a HUUGE plus for me. the food is always great, fresh, and tasty, not to mention a lot healthier than the traditional american diet. staff is attentive. i never felt they "watch to see how many dishes you take", as someone suggested. they are likely making sure people get FRESH plates with every visit to the steam tables., since this is actually a restaurant/buffet health law...i have never ever, once felt like they wanted to "rush" me out. they are always very welcoming and accommodating.. AWESOME SPOT. thank you, clifton park "shalimar".“

“A family member ordered delivery for us from here. We can't wait to visit in person. \nComfort Burger was awesome as were the chili cheese fries . Order included a Lucy salad with grill chicken. Greens were fresh, as were the sliced apples. We also had what has to be the best grilled cheese sandwich i have ever had. Loaded with a blend of 4 cheeses and caramelized onions. Bread was grilled to perfection. The order also included a fried chicken sandwich which had a huge fried chicken breast. Finally, the side order of chili didn't look that great but tasted fantastic\n I would also like to add that according to Google AI they offer gluten free bread and most items can be made gluten free.“

“Amazing!!! I try to come every time I’m in Albany area! The food is amazing and fresh all the time. Been here more than 10 times in 6 weeks and it is so worth it! These days it isn’t worth going out to eat because the service and quality isn’t there anymore but this place is the exception! The clear soup is so delicious also.“

“Got from grub hub on a whim. The rueben was really good. Great presentation even after delivery and it was hot and fresh when it got here and we are in Bellevue. We will definitely order again!“

“Food is great and service is great. The only issue I have is your gift card policy between Albany and Saratoga. I’ve had family be told you can use a gift card at either location and I have been told it must be used where it was purchased? My parents bought a gift card at the Albany location for my wife and I. The back of the card had Saratoga on it. Thankfully, we presented the gift card receipt after being told we could only use it in Saratoga when the receipt showed it was purchased in Albany. Thankfully, the server and the manager didn’t give up on the situation and were able to manually enter the card number in despite the magnetic strip on the card not working. Bravo to them! However, the only gift cards you are able to purchase in Albany say Saratoga on the back. So if you have a gift card, you better bring a gift card receipt or you may not be able to use it. I hope you guys look at the policy. My only negative. Other than that sushi is fresh and quick and great service !“

“Always taking a chance when trying new pizza place but finally found the best pizza near by. Sad to say I’ve been in the area 5+ years and only just tried them.“

“Made a last minute reservation sight unseen. Walked in and were seated right away. Server was friendly, pleasant and helpful with recommendations. Food came out fast. I had the salmon burger and my partner had the fish sandwich. Both delish. Atmosphere is perfect, nice, but not stuffy. Reasonable prices. What a lucky find!“

“Our Server Cody was excellent, made our experience even better then it already was. Food was great, loved the atmosphere .. we will be back Thank you“

“Ordered my first meal from there today... Was fantastic... Highly recommend... Will be ordering from there often...“

“amazing daily specials!! always very fresh! not long wait, great location right on Broadway, has parking. A definate must.“

“In a town of mostly chain restaurants this place is an oasis . Family owned & operated the food is consistently good .\n Last night chicken cutlet was thin , moist & delicious . Served with ample portion of potatoes & spinach . It’s enough for lunch today . My significant other enjoyed carpaccio & bolognese . Both I tasted & will be certain to order next visit . \n Service great and friendly .“

“Delicious cuisine. Friendly staff.“

“Great pizza and wings, our go to in Clifton Park!! Highly recommend checking out Paulie's.“

“My husband myself and my mother went there tonight to celebrate my birthday August 24. We’ve never been there before and I just want to say that the service was fantastic! The food was fantastic! Our waiter really outdid herself and we will definitely go there again.“

“Great and friendly service!“

“So the sushi was really excellent. We got two different specialty rolls. You could tell the sushi was really fresh. We got delivery through Uber eats and everything was fresh just not hot because the Uber eats driver didn’t use a hot bag. The rock shrimp is not what you’d expect.. it was really tempura shrimp that was soggy.. I’d never get that again. The fried rice was great because healthy not greasy . Our son got the salmon sashimi and loved it. The soup was good but also done differently. I’d like to eat in because I feel like the sushi itself is worth it and would like to try the hibachi“
