50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Colonie

“We had a group of 8 for brunch for my mother’s birthday and our server today was William. He was attentive, had great energy, and made fabulous suggestions for drinks. I will ask for him next time we come and if you’re able to request a server, request him. They were also very kind to put the football game on the tv. The food was great as always. Thank you William for helping to make her birthday wonderful!!“

“I've lived here my entire life, and we used to love Little Anthony's Pizza—until they closed. Finally, there's a place that truly fills that void. We just ordered for the second time to see if they could deliver that same top-tier pizza experience—and they nailed it. Absolutely spot-on. Hands down the best pizza in the Capital Region. 10 out of 10. The three of us couldn't find a single thing wrong. Please don’t change a thing“

“We give Outback 1/5 Stars chad was a good server we didn't order the blooming fries but got them anyway we got the completely wrong order we were VERRY sad about the poor minion that got filet, he was good tasting the. The ungin sope looked like it has lots of cheese but is a scam because it is ontop of a piece of bread The ribs were horrible, did not come off the bone, no red, and no juice I was not satisfied about the cholclate thunder down from under, it was not poop as I was expecting R.I.P for the minion, very cruel.“

“Best Indian restaurant in town. Yummy food with excellent service and beautiful ambiance!! Best in catering in Indian food for any occasion!!“

“Had placed an order for a work party through mealeo and when I arrived to pick it up my order had never went through to the restaurant. The lady working was extremely apologetic and overall just had a wonderful attitude. She was able to get my food made and had me out of there in no time. Great service and great food!“

“My friend Michele and I decided to go to the Barnsider earlier this evening because we were in the area visiting her parents grave. I ordered the 10oz scallops and Michele ordered the 10oz steak, both were absolutely delicious and the service was wonderful! We were both about half to three quarters into eating our dinners. Suddenly I noticed a concerned look on Michele's face and asked her if she was alright. When she struggled to answer me, I knew she was in trouble and quickly got up from my chair and helped her up and got behind her to administer the Himelick maneuver that I've never tried or had any training for. After a couple of attempt's, I panicked and turned to find help at the nearby check-in desk and asked if anyone knew how to do the Himelick maneuver to save my good friend Michele and for a few moments it was obvious that no one knew, that is until an employee came back from seating some customers and witnessed what was going on and immediately got behind Michele and may have saved her life in a matter of seconds. I regret I did not get her name, but I think she may have been the person in charge this night at that position from what I could tell because our table was very close to the desk. Michele and I can't thank her enough for heroic response to save the life of someone in an emergency situation! By the way, she mentioned she took an EMT class 10 years ago but has never had to use her training in any situations. Now she has, and thank God or maybe...thank one or both of Michele's parents that we just visited at the cemetery just prior to going to the Barnsider for dinner, and maybe, they made sure there was an Angel working that would protect their daughter. Thank You again from the bottom of our hearts!!“

“This evening we had the best dinner and experience we have ever had at a Red Lobster. First, every single staff member (from the host/hostesses, waitstaff, server (two who brought food to the table) was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. They went out of their way to make us feel "at home". We had a non-traditional dinner... two appetizers (the crab queso and the spicy dragon shrimp), two cocktails (blue margarita and tito's twisted lemonade- both good and we appreciated the extra lime and lemon which we used since we like our drinks a bit tart. All of these were on special since we happened to be there during Happy Hour. Then we shared the Wednesday steak and lobster dinner with special rice and a Caesar salad. And of course the traditional Red Lobster biscuits. EVERYTHING was very good. Biscuits were hot and tasty, salad was fresh with just the right amount of dressing and Parmesan cheese pieces. Both appetizers were excellent.... each with a little kick of their own. Generous pieces of crab in the queso and the shrimp coating and sauce were yummy. The lobster tail was excellent... cooked just right for dipping in the fresh hot butter. Steak was prepared at the temperature requested and was tender. Pat yourselves on the back. It is not often that we give a five star review (BOTH of us agreed this should be the rating)... and it is even more unusual with a chain restaurant.“

“The bartender was amazing! And offered “snacks” was a great first time experience for my Puerto Rican friend who doesn’t get out much !“

“As a regular here 5-7 days per week, I would especially give glowing remarks of a bartender named Heather who works only Sunday. Very attentive, professional, likeable and a pleasure to talk to. She handles pressure extremely well. In addition to working another job and a mother, she never misses her Sunday shift. Great addition to staff.,,“

“We had a delicious lunch at The Moon and River Cafe today. Reubens , Thai fries, beet salad and blueberry pie all vegan and kindly prepared and served by Richard as always. We have been there several times and will definitely be back !“

“Generally food was excellent. My table had bangers a d mas and fish and chips. Both were great. Theme was UK. However a split pea ham soup was over the top salty. Upon complaint I got a beet and mixed green salad which was excellent. We had bread pudding and whiskey chocolate cake. Both were great. This was first time for waitress but she did great. Was attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend eating here if you can get a reservation“

“I went to this place to pick up breakfast for two. The place was very clean and bright and the staff was very attentive. I’m trying to diet so I got a poached egg on toast and it was great. Loved whatever they seasoned it with. The other party got a big breakfast: eggs hash browns, etc and was raving about it. Nice place !“

“Lovely restaurant amazing burger options. My recent go to place.“

“My phone wouldn't let.me scan the bar code to complete the survey yesterday but a review is definitely necessary. First time at.the Troy location. I had honey bbq wings for an appetizer. Great stuff. And for an entree was ribs, brisket with sides of chili and salad. A came.with cornbread Everything was spectacular, one of the.best meals I have had. Bacon in the chili and the house dressing being bbq ranch were nice touches. My server Alison deserves a lot of credit too. Pleasant person, hard working, and made great suggestions when I asked. Alison and the food made this a great experience. Highly recommended and I will be back.“

“Right from the start, I believe this place is run by a passionate group of people. It’s welcoming, and the service is incredible. The Subway sandwich was massive and, most importantly, flavorful. I highly recommend this place to anyone and would definitely add it to my list of go-tos.“

“Nighthawks is THE BEST spot in Troy. My husband and I adore this place. They make the best omelette I’ve ever had and my husband is in love with their burgers. 100000/10 recommend. Staff are amazing and overall experience is magical!! Wow wow wow.“

“My husband and I have dined in and also gotten taken out. The food is delicious. We've had PHO and also their dinners with noodles or rice. The dinners have been excellent. The amount of food is plentiful. The server is excellent, he's friendly, efficient (he works very hard) and he is confident with his recommendations, he knows the menu and dishes really well. His recommendations have surpassed our expectations. He's probably the best waiter we've ever had. We don't eat out often, so when we do, we want the experience to be good, and PHO Vans does not disappoint. I highly recommend.“

“Terrific food, great service!“

“A diamond hidden in plain sight! Don’t miss scallion pancake, fried pot stickers, chicken satay with peanut sauce, tom kha soup, drunken noodles, basil fried rice ... we were stuffed to the gills, but then we saw the dessert menu. Sticky rice and mango ... and 4 forks please! 🤣 I’m uncomfortably full (my fault) but can’t wait to go back.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! I took 12 employees out to celebrate the holiday season and see a show in Albany. From the time we called for a reservation, right through dinner, the entire staff, and especially our server Casey were so welcoming and accommodating. The drinks, food, and service were all superb! Casey made us feel like we were the only thing that mattered in the restaurant, while the kitchen and bar handled some special requests with ease! In a world where the meaning of hospitality seems to have been forgotten by so many, this restaurant still knows what it means, and executes flawlessly. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back when in the Albany area. (I may even have to make a special trip back just for this restaurant!)“

“Awesome spot 💯 Food and prices were exceptional, the bartender was super friendly, and she was even cool with me taking over the jukebox for about 45 minutes 😂 Would go out of my way to stop again!“

“The staff was friendly and the food was absolutely delicious.“

“We stumbled on the place by chance and were not disappointed. The bartender, Jill was very friendly. Our meals were full of flavor. My husband got the chicken parm and I the barramundi. Finished by a tiramisu martini with a side of tiramisu. Sooooo good. We will definitely go back! Oh! The fresh bread and olive oil topped with tapenade was delish as well!“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat around Latham, I enjoy the food and the warm atmosphere and service from staff. I haven't gotten any better tasting lamb kabab around here but at Zaitoon!!!“

“Grappa 72 has always been my favorite. ❤️here’s why. I hadn’t been in awhile- used to go frequently, so I grabbed a to-go order of their excellent fettuccini bolognese and some bruschetta to take home after a very long drive- ❤️❤️❤️and had a glass of wine at their friendly and comfortable bar while I waited. It’s 100 degrees outside- so I wasn’t dressed (shorts and an ocean city tee lol) but it was early.. so I popped in to wait for my order. From reception to bar to the chef popping out with my order- to the other lovely guests who were popping in as well and enjoying banter and kind conversation.. the bartender primo making everyone happy- I can’t tell you how much that atmosphere warms my soul. Good people, great food, no pretensions, phenomenal service.. and I can attest from so many previous visits- a warm and inviting dining room where when they have music you never want to leave. Soooo well done from every aspect. Thanks Grappa!!! I’ll be back soon, I’ve missed you while I’ve been away! Did I mention the bolognese? It’s better than my own- and that’s saying a lot! 😉Sincerely, Mary“

“Had our wedding reception here this past weekend-service was exceptional, food was incredible, and Taylor went above and beyond to try and make sure everything was perfect for us. Guests told us it was one of the best weddings they’d ever been to. Highly recommend“

“I’ve been looking forward to checking out the restaurant, Dove & Deer, since I first encountered their food when their chef was highlighted at the annual Summer Gala fundraiser here in Hudson last year. Their chef served an incredible amuse-bouche with gooseberries and the chef who was there sharing the amuse-bouches was wonderfully charming and the food was incredible! I was so impressed that I’ve been following their social media since then and have been looking forward to visiting the restaurant all the while! I was recently in the area and while I unfortunately wasn’t able to visit the restaurant in person- I was able to order through Door Dash and the meal was incredible! We ordered an assortment of things to share and were thrilled with everything! -Spicy Kale Caesar with shredded kale, croutons, and shaved parmesan! -Truffle Parm Fries with scallions and truffle aioli! -Mini Wagyu Beef Hotdogs made with wagyu beef, served in buttery toasted buns, and topped with mustard, ketchup, and relish! -Hot Lobster Dip made with lobster claw and knuckle meat, gruyere, gouda, fontina, spinach, scallion, and crispy wontons! It is often very difficult for a restaurant to adjust their menu to translate to takeout; and for them to do so where every single dish was not only delicious but also mostly with a great presentation, says a great deal about their attention to detail. This is a restaurant I look forward to dining at again many more times over the years!“

“We have been coming to the Crisp Cannoli every Saturday for family breakfast for a year now! The coffees, BEC on croissants, sweet treats are the best of the best. Even better is the atmosphere with the same, warm staff & owners that greet us every week. My 3 year old daughter feels like a VIP with smiles and hugs from Corey & Sam. It’s a one of a kind family-owned operation that is always a top-notch experience. 10 out of 5 stars!! Highly recommend. Wonderful in every way!“

“We had a joyous birthday celebration at my son’s favorite restaurant. Akanomi’s staff and sushi chefs, itamae, excelled at all endeavors. Vivan was spot on with her suggestions and service. She anticipated all of our needs, especially with our children. The chicken soba soup, tuna carpaccio and Hawaii Rolls were our favorites. Then the sashimi / sushi mixed roll party docked. It was stunning in presentation, offerings and taste. Oh my, it was very impressive. A most wonderful time was had by all.“

“Very good food and service. Also has gluten free options.“

“Authentic Italian! Reminded me of eating in my Nona’s dining room! The meal was phenomenal starting with the delicious salad dressing, crusty Italian bread & eggplant parmigiana with spaghetti.“

“Great sandwiches and coffee. Tradisional Vietnamese. The bread and everything in the sandwich was as exspected. The coffee was so good. Ivwish i could get this coffee every morning. Happy New Year!“

“Delicious. Must go. Get that mantu!“
