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.“

“Amazing food! First time trying Somali cuisine and was blown away how great it was. Had the goat bowl and it was easily the best version of goat I've ever had. So tender and flavorful. Will return!!!“

“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!“

“Dat shizz was fire fire 🔥 bruh“

“I went to the Marion location. First time stopping in. I got the Brisket platter and two rib platters. I got them to go. The Brisket had great flavor, it was a little drier than I like my brisket but the flavor was there. The ribs were on point, tender juicy full of flavor. The sides I got were baked beans and Mac and cheese. The baked beans were great smoky flavor and a little bit of sweetness to them. The Mac and cheese perfect with how cheesy it was. Over all great food and friendly staff and you get your moneys worth of food. Keep up the good work“

“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!“

“Very personalized service in an old fashioned diner with fantastic food and generous portions. My has had steak and eggs. The steak was cooked perfectly to temperature, the home fries were hot and crispy but tender in the center, and the eggs were exactly over easy (not often achieved). The pancake I had was one of the best pancakes Ive ever had and again, my sunny-side-up egg was perfect. Im already looking forward to our next visit.“

“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“

“The lamb hummus is a must. So much flavor and hummus has a perfectly smooth texture. One of my favorite dishes was the lamb fahsah. It came out bubbling hot, lamb was so tender and delicious. The portions of all our entrees were very generous and could be shared easily. I was pleased with how clean the restaurant was and the service and kindness of the staff was some of the best we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to return.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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 🤗“

“We had a delightful lunch today at Gallo's, from the moment entering, we were greeted by a Fine Gentleman that discussed our seating options ( Yeah, I'm a bit picky) to the time we departed with full bellies that was topped off with the Belgium Chocolate Mussee cake that was Outstanding!! Ice cold beverages and our service (Bartender) was Awesome catering to our every whim. This is definitely a MUST stop when looking for a Great place to dine!!“

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

“She was very helpful and pleasant“

“the atmosphere is nice they have several locations and the staff is always friendly“

“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!!“

“Food was PHENOMENAL!! I knew something was up since they had almost a 4.9 for breakfast food. SO GOOD! Best French toast I’ve ever had. Breakfast sandwich was delicious. The potatoes were crispy and AWESOME!!! I’ll be back next time I’m on that side of town!“

“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.“

“Fantastic food! Will definitely be back soon!“

“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 ?!“

“What would it take to get this in California? I think I referred at least ten new diners here during the week we spent in Columbus, and they all loved it too! Hearty, healthy meals at an accessible price point, delicious as all get out, and almost entirely gluten free! Many of the diners I referred are gluten-free and they all enjoyed their options here. I dined here twice and got the sandwich and the salad, and both were absolutely incredible. The brisket? Melt in your mouth. We even shared lots of our meal with our nine month old baby (baby led weaning), and he also approved wholeheartedly! The service was friendly and professional, and the space was clean and had a lovely atmosphere. The local friend who recommended it to me told me not to miss the tahini chocolate chip cookie, and she was SO right. Moral of the story is, I need this in the SF Bay Area, stat!“

“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.“

“The atmosphere was fantastic! The staff was absolutely wonderful! The food was beyond fantastic!!! Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!“

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

“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“

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

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

“Amazing experience every time we visit with wonderful pairings of food and beverages!“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place. First of all, it’s entirely Vegan. I’ve been to Vegan restaurants all around the U.S. and Europe, and this is one of the absolute best right in Columbus! Chef Chad is just a cool dude. My wife and I got to meet him at VegFest and he couldn’t have been any nicer. We watched his show Top Vegan and because of all of this, we decided to make a trip from Cleveland to Columbus. We are so happy we did and this place lives up to the hype. The Vrunchwrap was delicious and it’s so good we are going to figure out how to recreate it at home. If you live in Columbus or are in Columbus, this place is a must! 6 stars if I could. Also, watch Top Vegan on YouTube!“

“Great food and very friendly staff. The prices are good and the portions are large, I always bring something home. The coffee is good and hot, and I love the different mugs they have.“
