50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Setauket East Setauket

“I recently visited Tex Chicos Mex and had an incredible dining experience! I started with the dry rub wings, which were perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor—absolutely delicious.

Next, I tried the birria tacos, and they were nothing short of amazing. The tender, juicy meat paired with the rich, savory consommé made each bite unforgettable.

I also ordered a steak burrito, which was hearty, flavorful, and packed with perfectly cooked steak and fresh ingredients. It was generously portioned and so satisfying!

On top of the amazing food, our server, Allie, was outstanding. She was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even better. Her great service was the cherry on top of a fantastic meal.

Overall, we absolutely loved Tex Chicos Mex and will totally be back!“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“My wife and I went here last night for our Valentines Day dinner (yes a few weeks late) on recommendation from some friends. Our waitress Jackie was very accommodating and friendly. We had the fried risotto balls and parm truffle croquettes for appetizers which were very good, and that’s where it ended. We got a call from our baby sitter saying one of our kids was getting a fever and was acting out of sorts. We’ve never had to, but felt that it was time to leave early. We asked if we could wrap our pasta up to go, which they were great about. We paid for what we ate so far and left, knowing we would eventually come back. As I got into the car, I saw someone running towards us. As they got closer I realized it was Jackie our waitress. I thought I left my wallet (which wouldn’t be a surprise) but she said the entrees just finished and they wanted us to have them. I didn’t pay for that part of our meal and I asked if I could, but Jackie said they insisted it was on the house because of our situation. We couldn’t believe it; one of the nicest things I’ve encountered. After a 30 minute drive home and putting four kids to bed, we ate out to-go boxes an hour later, and they were incredible. The food is very good, unique spins on dishes with ingredients that pair very well. Price was very reasonable for the quality of food. The restaurant is deceivingly large when you look from the outside. But it was the service that set it apart. We can’t wait to stick around for dessert next time!“

“Great food, friendly service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“This place is a MUST VISIT if you are wanting Turkish delicious food
Portions are great and generous and pricing is very good as well
Not a fancy setting but food makes up for that
Service was amazing - we had Erkan who was super polite and great in recommending what to get. Desserts were delicious ( rice pudding as you see from photos wasn’t make it to the photo time ?) and mix meat platter is perfect for 2 people

Will definitely be back here again“

“We already love their food, but tonight we found out their customer service is just as good! We ordered dinner and when we went to pick it up, found out that they ran out of one of the items in our order. Not only did they offer us an alternative, they threw in some extras to make up for it! Amazing food and even better customer service; we will be sure to come back soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We have been coming to this restaurant for quite some time now. Oftentimes we order for delivery and the food comes to us in a timely fashion. They keep the busy small eat in order area and kitchen clean. They have many choices, so our mixed diets of regular and vegan have delicious items to choose from their menu.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetable choices, like broccoli and mixed veggies for example. There are various types of tofu dishes too.“

“Had a broccoli/spinach/plantains Empanada, yellow rice and sweet plantains. Absolutely delicious and reminds me of my trips to Puerto Rico �“

“There were two cute pillows thoughtfully placed on the chair, and the restaurant was very clean. It is highly recommended for those who like sweet food to try the tomato fat beef scrambled eggs! ! ! Highly recommended by this Shanghainese! ! ! Fellow Northeasterners said that the pickled cabbage and white meat are particularly authentic. The warm service from the landlady really makes me feel like I have returned to China... I really love Jude Building???“

“food is amazing. I love the baked oatmeal.i have never had a meal I didn't enjoy here. been frequenting the establishment 25 years already. before the expansion when Maureen was still the chef. I always celebrate here. if you get a chance check out the crumb cake and pancakes... the stuffed French toast, salads are amazing ,and if you can get the million dollar sandwich on pita with fries or Mac salad. 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋“

“Friendly good quality food and service“

“Great chicken sandwiches, 3 different ones between us and everyone raved about them and drinks were great!“

“Went on a busy Saturday night, it was very hectic in there, but not like in an NYC type of way. Everything was honestly organized, and people were getting their food and drinks in a timely manner. Wasn’t a fan of the “Figgy Smalls”, tasted like medicine, but the Dark Cherry Bourbon Sour was amazing. The Grouper was amazing sitting on top of the risotto, perfect for a fall evening. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Tiger Lily Cafe is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of good vibes. Their menu offers a fantastic selection of delicious and healthy options, making it easy to enjoy a meal that’s both satisfying and nourishing. Owners Lisa and Kelly are an incredible duo—so welcoming and friendly that you feel like part of the family the moment you walk in. Their passion for the cafe and their customers truly shines through. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy more of what this wonderful spot has to offer! Highly recommend!“

“Heard about this beautiful place from one of our best friends who went for the first time a few weeks ago raving about it and we had to try it. Let me tell you everything was AMAZING ❤️ Everyone there was sweet, food was amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful. Exactly what my husband and I wanted. Thank you so much to our server Richie he was so personable and went above and beyond for us for my Birthday.“

“I just hosted a surprise 40th birthday at po'boy. It was such a wonderful experience (and the guest of honor was successfully surprised!) Just the vibe I was looking for, relaxed, homey and fun. Great music and atmosphere. They charge a very low and reasonable space rental fee, and we had more than enough space for our 40 guests. So many options for drinks including all of their beers, wine and soda. We were even allowed to bring in our own food at no charge. And decorate the space how we liked. Bartenders there were sooo helpful, friendly, and were able to help with all requests. Highly recommend for a relaxed party, or just an evening with some friends for a couple of drinks. (Alcoholic or non!) Thank you for the great experience! Keep it up!“

“Food is amazing and approved by my mother in law 92 years young and from Turkey!😉 Staff incredible Owners made us feel like family A must to enjoy one day“

“I recently just started to eat sushi and love this place! I come here every week during my lunch break and look forward to it! The food is great , staff is very nice, and everything comes out quick. Thank you for making my experience amazing every time I go to your business.“

“My new favorite place in Port Jeff! Food is delicious, staff are great!! I used to manage an Italian restaurant in Manhattan, I tend to scrutinize restaurants, 2 thumbs up for Pasta Pasta, say it again!!! 😋 🍽 🍷“

“Fabulous food, Great staff. ����������“

“Top notch sushi, the best prices I have seen for the quality. I’ve been ordering from Kira Sushi since about 2021, their quality has been consistent and their menu prices haven’t raised drastically like everything else does.“

“Dinner was excellent! Extensive menu. Ordered from the pasta section of the menu gnocchi a la vodka with melted mozzarella on top. It was delicious. There was an unprinted kids menu that included good items like spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, chicken fingers with fries, pizza, etc on the night we went. Chose the spaghetti and meatballs and it came with a large bowl of spaghetti and two giant meatballs. My portion was huge too. They were all about service. Very friendly and attentive team members. The restaurant was very busy, but the food came out relatively quickly and very hot.

The only reason I gave the atmosphere four rather than five star rating is because the front door area was so crowded and congested when we arrived that we couldn't get through the dense and unorganized crowd to figure out where the hosts and hostesses were to request a table. We had never been there before so we had no idea if that was a line for a table or takeout. Appears the front door has a take out order counter or area there. There was a back side door that we ended up using and found some hosts in the middle of the restaurant to ask for a table. To our pleasant surprise there was table readily available for us on the patio!“

“Food was absolutely fantastic tonight. Actually never had a bad meal here. Worth the price. Service was great too.“

“Generous portions and food is always fresh and very good. Definitely recommened!!“

“Love the food. Service and atmosphere.“

“My favorite local pizza place! Pizza is always cooked perfectly and never had an issue here. Their sauce is delicious and it goes great with a calzone or garlic knot. The staff treats you like family and cares about the quality of their food. Will be coming back for years!“

“The BEST pizza in the world!“

“This is hands down the best soup dumpling place I’ve ever been to. I lived in Manhattan for 20 years and never experienced such authenticity as Red Tiger Their crabmeat and pork soup dumplings are the best thing on the menu. However, they have so many different ones to try. Everytime we come here we always try a new one.
Red tiger FTW!!!“

“Was my first time there for a party. Food and service were both excellent. My husband and I will definitely return soon!“

“One of our favorite pizzerias. Love all the options. Pizzas and salads are the best around!“

“Everything is fresh and delicious!“

“Very satisfied with my dinner here. High quality fish and amazing service. Food was top tied. Very good experience, highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Fantastic place, friendly staff, magnificent food, plenty of tv’s for sport events.“
