50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Syracuse

“Syracuse halal gyros food is 100/10… huge portions, reasonable prices, and absolutely delicious. They are open late which is great because there aren’t many options open late these days. When we picked up our order the gentleman behind the counter offered us a huge “sample” of chicken and rice so we could try their (new?) green sauce which was also delicious. I’d recommend this place to anyone and everyone.“

“Absolutely love this place!!! Great food!!!“

“First time having Ethiopian food, amazing restaurant! Friendly and warm staff, will go again! ❤️“

“Great beer food and staff“

“Best service, best food, and a class A staff. I don’t care how many people are waiting for a table, you won’t wait long. Liz will make sure this happens.“

“Celebrated a “cousins holiday get together” here for the first time and based on the experience expect it to be an annual get together in the future. Actually can’t wait to visit multiple time in between too!! Everything was exceptional from service to food. Love the comfortably spacious dining area also. Cannot wait to visit again!!!“

“Wonderful menu, wonderful folks waiting and cooking - No downsides, 5 of us went and we all enjoyed everything we had and we will return.“

“The turkey club was great. Crispy bacon, fresh soft rolls, and quality meat. Lots of vegetable options if you're into that. Can't wait to go back.“

“Fast service. Excellent breakfast!!! Very good. Thank you so much for the great food!“

“If you are looking for exceptional pizza in Syracuse, New York, Tazza Pizzeria is a absolute must-visit.
Their lamb pizza is legit—packed with incredible flavor and cooked to perfection. To top it off, they serve it with a side of hot sauce and homemade ranch that takes every bite to the next level. It is genuinely so tasty.
Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is really cute inside, featuring great art on the walls that gives the space a warm, welcoming vibe. It is located in a lovely area, making the whole dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. If you are anywhere near Syracuse and craving fantastic pizza, definitely check Tazza Pizzeria out!“

“My friend and I stopped there to eat before we went to the Landmark. We both ordered sangrias and taco salads. Salsa, chips and waters were delivered to the table without asking. Our server, James, was friendly and helpful. The food and drinks is were served quickly. The taco salads were delicious. Cost was about $35 per person. Any bill over $50 the tip was figured into the bill. Would come here again.“

“amazing food and great service!!!“

“Food & service were spot on! Will definitely go back.“

“The staff was very nice and welcoming. The food was great. We started off with ginger tea as it was a very cold night with high winds (Imagine that in CNY). Then we enjoyed the Fresh Summer Rolls. We had two orders, but they are so big that we both only ate half (and took the remainder home) so you could easily be satiated with one order for two people. For our entrees we had Pad See Eiw with Beef and Pad Prig King with Chicken. Both dishes were very good and as far as the portions, we took home approximately half of both. We would both highly recommend this little gem. (Oh, and the bathrooms were very clean.)“

“The deep dish Utica greenza pizza was amazing! It was cooked just right. The service was excellent too!!“

“Excellent food. Meats and sauces are so flavorful and delicious. Even the rice and beans have a little something extra. Dishes are well portioned and fresh made. Tortilla chips and homemade sauce are perfect starters. The flan and ice cream are excellent ways to end the meal. Can’t wait till next time to try the specials!“

“I live between Syracuse and Rochester and was in Syracuse. I’ve passed by Apizza Regionale several times and finally stopped. I ordered an Apizza with sausage to go. I’ve heard of New Haven style and Apizza but have never had it. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The crust had a slight blackening on the bottom and was still airy and tasty. The sauce was perfect as was the sauce. It was very delicious and will definitely be back again. I also want to say how great the service was. The waitress that took my order was very pleasant and professional. I had knee surgery a couple weeks ago and when I returned to pick up my order she carried it out to my car for me. Thank you Apizza Regionale for the great experience.“

“Beautiful greenhouses!“

“Always consistent great food and atmosphere. Burgers and other sandwiches are amazing!!“

“Just returned from one of the best shows of this still young year - Nachos and Blancos featuring Syracuse all-timers Los Blancos. Typically the 443 shows go for a little under 2 hours for many reasons; curfew among them. Not so on a Sunday afternoon! Colin and the band killed for 2 hours +, and those lucky ones (like us) in attendance got everything and more. Thanks, as always, to Julie and Co. for one more unforgettable experience!“

“We were seated immediately even though there were a ton of vehicles in the parking lot. Had our drinks in less than 2 minutes of sitting down. Our food came in a timely manner. The waitress was attentive without being intrusive. The manager made a brief stop to see how we were enjoying our meal.
I had the Hibachi salmon with rice and steamed broccoli. Broccoli was a little too over streamed but that's my personal preference, otherwise everything was delicious. My partner had the French Onion burger that she enjoyed.
Great experience all around. My first time there. I'll be back!“

“Stella's is one of my favorite places for fish on Friday. They have it fried, broiled or grilled. Recently I was there and ordered mashed potatoes with my fish. I did not specify without gravy. When the waitress brought my dinner I was upset because it had gravy. She took them back to the kitchen. When she returned it seemed that I had more than before. Unfortunately I am allergic to gluten, which was in the gravy. For the last 2 days, I have been having symptoms related to eating gluten.“

“My first experience will definitely not be my last! Great service! Excellent food! Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back! Thank you for a wonderful meal!“

“WONDERFUL FOOD. Reasonably priced. Excellent quality and service. Staff are always pleasant. Why spend 15-20 on fast foods, when you can get a real meal deal at GOODIES ?!?“

“Best place to have a party in event room. Maria is the best to work with. Responded very quickly to inquire of room for my father’s birthday celebration. Lots of choices for food and the pizza oven has a variety of tasty pizzas to choose from. Kim DeStefano was the best bartender, quick, efficient and exceptionally friendly. The event room was everything I wanted & could have imagined to celebrate my dad’s 80th. Highly recommend with working with Marie for any parties in the future. Thank you Maxwells for awesome food and venue. Cheers !!“

“#1 spot in Cuse. Better Korean food than in LA. Better Korean food than in Korea (maybe). Idk what they put in the seafood noodle soup CHAMBONG, but I have gotten it for four years and never been happier in my life. Bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, kalbi, tteok bok ki, boo dae chigae, and the dumpling soup are all spectacular. The food is unbelievable. Everything is good.“

“Our first time dining here will NOT be our last , food came fast hot and fresh , everything was a great experience and that is very hard to find these days so I will definitely be going back next time I'm in Syracuse, thank you to the staff“

“Rosa was our server and she was a delight! Edgar was also amazing and was so kind to give a shake on him! It was such a mood boost for a gloomy Monday!! The cook in the back (I didn’t get his name) but he was hard at work and seems to be having a good time. Will definitely be back and hope to see both Rosa and Edgar again!“

“Update (Spring 2026):
I’ve now been to Vietnam and Ky Duyen is on par with some of the best I had there and is even better than some of them. They continue to be my favorite Banh Mi in the area.
Their iced coffee leaves something to be desired for my taste though unfortunately. A big part of this is my preference for white coffee (bạc xỉu) and the salted cream coffee (cà phê muối). My favorite combo is to buy a banh mi and drive down the road to the newly opened Wake Up for their salted cream coffee.

Update (11/7/2023):
Finally got to come back as I had the day off from work and could make it up before they sold out. Banh Mi is still great, though I found that I very much did not enjoy the cold cut option. I’ve now had 3 (BBQ Pork), 1 (Roasted Pork), and 2 (Cold Cut) and would recommend them in that order. BBQ pork was amazing, roasted pork was great, and cold cut had me questioning if I wanted to finish it. Not bad or gross, just completely not my taste/preference. I fully plan on being back in the future to try number 4 (shredded pork) so I can figure out which one is truly my favorite and future go to.

Original:
Best bahn mi I’ve ever had, and the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Will absolutely be back.

As a heads up, if there is a line inside it will likely take a while, but it’s worth it.“

“Oh My Darling was awesome! Great service , excellent food and drink choices. If you haven't been you should definitely give it a try“

“Great beer. Go drink it right now!“

“Prices are great and the portions are…… too big! Just ask for a box. You won’t be disappointed the next day. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The food was amazing.“

“The food and service was great. Look forward in visiting again in the future!“

“I disagree 100 percent that the riggies here taste better than Utica. They simply don’t. The portion size was great, but the chicken was so cut way too small. The sauce just didn’t hit my taste buds the same. The cheese and seasoning on the saucer for bread is just odd. Not bad, just odd. My server never checked in to ask how my food was, but he did have a lot of tables. I probably would return and order something else. Overall, it’s worth checking out. They do seem to get very busy though. Parking can be limited.“

“Fantastic diner with angels for staff, Carl’s Kountry Kitchen makes some fantastic meals, with prices so low I almost wonder if they’re making money. The customers are always friendly, a reflection of the refreshing attitude so commonly lost amongst today’s hustle and bustle establishments. I simply cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Great food! Large variety“

“I always get the Spicy Fried Chicken Bowl and it’s delicious! Plus the husband and wife who run the place are the sweetest ☺️“

“We recently had dinner at this establishment. It as a special occasion so be brought a cake with us and were told there would be a $20 serving fee! How outrageous is that! In this day and age with this economy I would think you would be grateful for the business. Where is the customer service! I was told you have a baker on sight so that is the reason! ridiculous! Needless to say we will NOT patronize Francescas again and will spread the word! There were 6 of us and so with drinks etc. we had a hefty bill Also, the veal saltimbuca was way overcooked!“

“love dead night. EVERY FUKIN MONDAY“

“Ponchito's Taqueria is a fantastic spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican tacos. The flavors are incredible—each taco is bursting with fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned meat. The service is friendly and fast, which is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy your meal. I especially loved their al pastor tacos, which were juicy and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area, and it won't break the bank either.“

“Typical take out layout so atmosphere is of that style. But their food is the best Asian take out in town always fresh, fast, & correct... And I'm a pain in the ass and always special order with changes. They never get it wrong even when packed and super busy“

“First time there tonight. Amazing Best seafood meals around and the cook is great. Do friendly and the place was so nice. Not much for decor but clean and neat. Can’t wait to go again“

“Amazing food and service would drive from Florida just to eat there!“

“The food here is amazing , the best Italian food around they know what they're doing and treat you right !“

“Excellent food and flavor love this place“

“Food was fantastic, 10/10 recommend. Great prices for delicious food!“

“Can’t beat it! Great atmosphere and bartenders. Drinks and food are always on point“

“5 stars across the board. Chi’Soul is so good. I felt like I was back in the south enjoying those dang collards. Get you them green beans, they be slept on. So much savory and then the sweet of the yams and collards balanced out so good. I’m goin back to try breakfast! Do you a favor and get a plate!“
