50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Columbus

“simply the best plant based restaurant in the country and probably the world. This is the spot my wife and I go for all of our special occasions even though we live in Indianapolis.“

“We are from Kentucky and were in Columbus for a concert. I’ve always wanted to try a place that has been featured on Triple D, and this was the best decision ever! High Bank exceeded all expectations! We left with a full belly and A bottle of whiskey to remember them by. Food was incredible. Service was incredible. From now on, every trip to Columbus will include a stop at High Bank Distillery!“

“Jordane is a treasure to be had. First time there and she was our server. She was so polite and so funny as well. I will gladly be requesting her if she’s there! The food was amazing too. I just want unlimited potstickers instead of a bowl though 😂“

“my name is Tony Bussa and I thought the atmosphere was amazing. staff extremely help full. the food was more than good it was exceptional. this place is 5 star.“

“Dat shizz was fire fire 🔥 bruh“

“We enjoyed BD’s for Mother’s Day and wow! The service is AMAZING! Be sure to ask for Princess if you go! She made our experience there so wonderful, she has ruined us for going anywhere else! She was so pleasant, helpful, kept our drinks filled and made sure we had all we needed, even when we ordered a couple of bowls to go for our husbands. Thank you so much and please let her know how much we appreciated her today!“

“I enjoyed a lovely afternoon brunch with my father this afternoon. We agreed that our experience was so enjoyable because of our amazing server Grace. I am constantly dreaming about the deviled eggs and the chocolate cake, you don’t want to miss out! Grace was very detailed oriented and very cautious about my severe tree nut allergy which made feel at ease. I already can’t wait to go back and Grace will be my preferred server no question!“

“I love it when a first try of something new to me is a sensational first impression as well! friendly staff and great food! I'll be back for sure!“

“As regular customers, we can confidently say that Jenny and her staff treat us like family! Every weekend, our whole family eagerly looks forward to dining at Jenny's Diner. The food is consistently delicious and packed with flavor, making each visit a delightful experience!“

“I met up with a few friends here for lunch. We wrote our name down on the waitlist and only had to wait for about 5-10 minutes before we could be sat. The waiting area has some chairs and tons of plants surrounding you. 🪴😍 The menu had all of your basic breakfast and brunch options. I opted for a half serving of French toast with tea, while my friends ordered the Arnold, and some type of sandwich (pictured). Everyone seemed pleased with their choices. 😀

The vibe here is laid back and you don't feel rushed to finish your food and leave. The noise level was tolerable, so that was nice. We were able to hold a conversation and still be able to hear each other. I would like to return in the future!“

“Absolute perfection across the board. The steak was the best I've had in ages and absolutely melted in my mouth. And the carrot cake was beyond amazing. I would gladly take a whole sheetcake sized pan of the carrot cake. The deviled eggs were also amazing. 15/10“

“Best Yemeni food I have had. My friends always brag about Yemeni food in Detroit. But I feel that flavour, ingredients and food over all is at this place. I like their Haneth, flavoured rice, lamb fahsa, humus with meat. I love their fresh bread. The lamb yakhni soup. I love their Malaki and everything tastes like food from Peshawar Pakistan. My childhood memories and flavours. I think Yemeni are my brothers from another mother…“

“Salmon was good. Loved the pomegranate martini!!!“

“Lavash has been one of my favorite places to eat in Columbus for many years, but today they went above and beyond for me. I made a large order for the parents of a newborn so we could freeze tasty meals for them. The staff read and acted on my order notes about helping to label each meal, and they offered alternative options for items that wouldn’t freeze well when I came to pick up. The food is excellent and fresh, and the staff are kind and efficient. Thanks Lavash!“

“Anna was amazing !!! Food was yum & service was so good“

“Just had Seitan's Realm for the first time after wanting to try for years. Absolutely incredible. I had the potato salad, mozahella sticks and the Rick Reuben. I will definitely be back. Edit: Also wanted to say I'm not vegan and I loved the taste of everything.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! my 1st time having India food and it did not disappoint! Service was great!“

“We traveled on I-70 and took a short detour to check out this German restaurant. The food was fabulous! We ordered the pretzels and beer cheese, Milder Mama sausage platter, Fat Daddy sandwich, and the kid’s hotdog. The atmosphere felt authentic and service was good. We reserved a table ahead using yelp. I recommend that if you go on a Saturday or at a busy time of year.“

“Truly the best Indian food I have ever had. The chai alone is incredible and well worth the trip. Naan is fresh and well made. Huge variety of food and the staff is very friendly. Will be back many times!“

“Had the best vegan chimichanga ever! Awesome food.“

“Everything ❤️the cheesecake is better than Cheesecake Factory“

“Awesome atmosphere! Service at the patio bar was exceptional. comfortable, friendly and just an all around great time.“

“Every single time we have visited has been nothing less than wonderful. The environment is always welcoming, the servers are so friendly, the food is always perfection. We don’t get to visit often as it’s a bit of a drive, but are so grateful to have Portia’s when we have some extra time. Portia herself is quite an amazing person. I think she’s just a doll 🤗“

“My husband and I recently visited fir the first time this past weekend and it is now one of top spots! The staff was amazing, the food was delicious, 10 across the board!“

“Tommy’s is the absolute best. I could go on and on about how much I love them, but then this post would be too long. Just know you’re missing out if you don’t try Tommy’s. 100000/10“

“When are you guys going to come into this century and sign up with GrubHub or DoorDash? You'd definitely increase your profits. Driving to pick up food is old school, LOL!!“

“Great food. Don’t miss out. Trust me, you really want to eat here. I’m a pretty harsh critic and I LOVED it. Will be back soon. If carbs didn’t make people fat, I would eat here at least once a week.“

“Great Chef, Great service, great atmosphere. I eat for a living and this definitely a hidden gem. Amazing ambiance in the Cellar where we sat ...... Everything was on point.“

“best Lebanese lentil soup! I'll go out of my way to get carryout.“

“Fantastic food! Will definitely be back soon!“

“My first time there was this past Saturday OMG! Delicious food. Excellent service. Friendly and helpful and patient staff. I will be back often.“

“Went for lunch. It was great. Had chicken with noodles and pork with rice noodles. Both were delicious. excellent from the food to the great service and friendly personnel. Will be back for sure.“

“What a unique experience! As soon as I walked in the door I felt like the restaurant transported me to another place! The language is definitely Portuguese here but they do speak English as well although I am Puerto Rican so my Spanish could fend for itself there. I came alone and was sitted within like 10 minutes and then I forgot to put a coat down and someone took my table. After I got out of the line the servers helped me find a new table and offered different sauces to try with my meal. Everything was great but my favorite was the picanha! My only tip when you go here is to be confident speak up, it’s a busy restaurant but everyone seems willing to help. Great first time experience.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“Best fast casual type of restaurant you'll find anywhere but at some point there needs to be a conversation about some of the staff at the short north location... almost every time I go I have an experience so odd it feels like I am getting pranked by a hidden camera. If someone were to tell me they're testing AI robots that work off a limited script I would understand, and also feel better about robots taking human facing jobs. Foods still fantastic and won't impact me from going at least once a week but the robo staff experience has happened too many times to not start the conversation about getting some humans back behind the counter slinging the best food in town.“

“Great portions for a decent price with excellent caring servers!“

“I have eaten here a couple of times and tried something different each time. Everything is GOOD! Best ramen in town!“

“Went for the first time the Korean chx special and it was delicious and super filling. But even more pleasant than my food was the service I received. I was a bit irritated cause I felt some couple had cut in front but the warm smile and friendliness of the front of house was spectacular. You can tell he enjoys what he does. Often I’m confused by choice of front of house staff, but whoever you got up there with the tats lol keep that guy! Definitely will be back for another special. Who doesn’t love bleu cheese ?!“

“Someone told me this place had the best Italian Sub in Columbus, and they weren't kidding – I tried it, and I'm officially hooked! Seriously, if you're in the neighborhood, this needs to be your go-to spot for an amazing sub. If you're on the other side of town, it's worth the journey at least once a month. Don't miss out! What really sealed the deal was the incredible atmosphere: the employees were genuinely nice and clearly passionate about their work. Even a couple of regulars were out in the 90-degree heat, cheerfully welcoming me in, mirroring the staff's enthusiasm. This might be a 'hole-in-the-wall,' but it's the kind of hidden gem Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives should feature this place.“

“Believe the hype, their bagels are great. The vegan cream cheese is also wonderful. Can’t wait to go back.“

“absolutely amazing!!!! the service was outstanding. food was superb and big portions. atmosphere is fun. It was my mother's day pick and I love burgers. Will be back for sure. thank you“

“Good pizza. Sausage was delicious 😋“

“although tailored for smaller crowds, the atmosphere was great. My wife and I went for the sunday NY Strip special and the shrimp PoBoy. It was phonominal. Excellent steak cooked to perfectrion and the loded mash was superb. PoBoy was on point, and the drinks were great too! Highly recommended. Affordable!!“

“Finally my son bought sourdough bread today. That is I want. I am so happy to find a nice backery . I really like it so much“

“The selection of food options here is great. There's a little something for everyone. I'm taking a star off not because anyone's service was poor but rather because it's obvious that the rent for tenants is high and therefore the prices of the food need to be high in order to support the rent. Because of this necessity, it does make you feel like you're not really getting your money's worth. Again, that is not the fault of the tenants but rather a reflection of the landlord's service. The atmosphere is loud so it can be difficult to hear conversation. The temperature throughout the building is not consistent either so expect some rooms to be much warmer in the summer than others.“

“Grabbed a late dinner last night. Food was outstanding (primarily the tabouli salad with beef shawarma.) Most outstanding, though, was our service. Caleb is a gem. He is so polite, charming and attentive. We really enjoyed him. Definitely will be back again very soon!“

“Enjoyed a delicious brunch on our first visit. Lengthy menu made it difficult to choose but all four selections were a hit. Cheerful, friendly, efficient service and a welcoming atmosphere. We will be back!“

“Just ate here today and had an enjoyable experience. Friendly, casual, great service , reasonably priced, large menu and absolutely delicious. I definitely will go back!“

“Great beer, great food, great people.“
