50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Columbus

“Every item we bought was amazing! We spent $90 on our first trip because we wanted to try everything and not a single thing disappointed.“

“Dropped in for Sunday lunch! Here is our breakdown

The Great: Lamb with hummus and the lamb haneeth were both outstanding!

The Perks: Don’t miss the complimentary soup and tea—excellent touch.

The Downside: The chicken zorbian was not great; I didn’t enjoy it.

Overall, a very good dining experience(except chicken item)!“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“I love them and I’m here right now 4/29/24 I love y’all so much food is amazing 🤩 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I ordered the lamb shawarma and it was incredible. Food came out in a timely manner and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Can confidently say I’ve never eaten at a restaurant that put so much emphasis on customer service.

If you want great food to eat at a place that is welcoming look no further!“

“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!“

“Swung in to Jenny’s Diner this morning after dropping off a family friend at Columbus Airport. Great service and BETTER food! The Loaded Diner Bowl was terrific and the homemade roast beef hash was awesome as a side! 100% recommend this restaurant!“

“My family had the pleasure of dining at Lola & Giuseppe's last evening, and it truly was a pleasure! We began with wedding soup (some of the best I have ever tasted), a Guiseppe's Salad, and spinach-artichoke dip. Two of our group had the meat lasagna which was delicious and a huge serving. Other entrees included egg plant parmigana and chicken marsala. All were excellent, large servings, and very reasonably priced. The surprise (and a good one) was the Creme de Limocello that was bursting with lemon flavor and a nice little nip. Service was excellent and the owner stopped by to chat on two occasions thanking us for dining there. It was undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable dining experiences we have had in quite a while. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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 😂“

“their food trailer came to Wilmington and my daughter and I stopped...I will tell you it was so delicious.. highly recommend“

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

“I’m not from the area but I found out about Wario’s on TikTok. I have been to Wario’s twice now. The chicken cesar cutlet is AMAZING! The spuds and chicken parm is also amazing! My husband ordered the Philly and loved it. I highly recommend Wario’s. I wish there was one closer to where we are from! We will just have to make the 3 hour trip again 😂“

“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!!“

“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 🤗“

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

“Incredibly nice Breakfast Eatery with friendly customer Service, and an amazing variety of food options. I highly recommend!“

“I came in to get breakfast to go . They were a little busy when I got there . I sat down and was gave silverware and offered a drink right away . I was accommodated by the regulars and Kate the waitress about what I should order since it was my first time. Regulars recommended I get a half order of French toast and half order of biscuits . Kate recommended I get the gyro since she likes it and its popular. I also ordered hash browns and scrambled eggs . I took the food home and the eggs were missing but they gave me a credit for those next time I come back . Everything tasted really good, loved the hash browns 10/10. The French toast and gravy was really good, the biscuits were a little crispy thou . Fiancé says gyro was okay but pretty dry not much meat 5/10. Will definitely be back Tuesdays threw Fridays when Kate Works !! Thanks for the great first experience. BTW this breakfast/lunch place is right next to panera !!“

“Awesome!!! Walked in and was greeted by Avery. This young man explained how to order, what was and wasn't available on each floor. And he did it with a smile! The location is clean and airy. Everyone and I do mean EVERYONE was so pleasant. That is the ingredient many restaurants are missing. And the food?? Food was fresh, made to order and served with a smile. Excellent experience. Excellent food. I will be back. And I live in Michigan. ❤“

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

“Who knew a little out-of-the-way bar hidden in Clintonville would have the absolute BEST italian subs I've ever had?! My mom and I have lunch together there every Friday and they know when we walk in that we're going to split a sub. Don't even have to order! And they are extremely reasonable price. Best deal in town!“

“We were there March 3 & 4 ,2026 and the Filipino menu was so so good , it has a young dynamic ambience, always full everytime we were there that shows it’s really worth the wait(not too long). The service was worth coming back for , their staff really awesome, respectful and engaging! Bonifacio … it makes Filipino food reach top notch levels ! Lovelovelove“

“Good pizza. Sausage was delicious 😋“

“Overall really good experience. We had no wait on a Monday holiday, couldn’t believe how fast our food came out. Eggs Benny were amazing & the side potatoes were just as good! I wish there were more of a specialty coffee/latte menu. I was super disappointed when the waitress said only hot coffee or a cold brew 🥴 thought for sure a brunch place would have really good lattes.“

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

“The house salad dressing is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had. I reeaallyy need the recipe for it. I live in TX and likely won’t wind up in Columbus again so… just think about it lol. The coconut shrimp were so good and our service was really great.“

“We are regulars here. The staff are friendly and hard working. Not afraid to have a conversation with you and they will make your order right without issue. They have other locations but we prefer this location based upon the employees we encounter and the food being so on point.“

“We hosted our wedding reception at Mozarts in their ballroom and could not be happier. They’re so helpful, accommodating, and the space is absolutely beautiful. Such a beautiful hidden gem in columbus. The all inclusive reception options and over the top service cannot be beat!“

“So good! Best Cinnamon Roll in Cbus, Biscuits and Gravy, and GREAT coffee!“

“Pretty solid beer. Would go again.“

“I wanted spicy goat. They don’t sell goat meat. So I tried the spicy beef. It was delicious. I shall return soon and very soon.“

“Their panko fried shrimp are the best I have ever tasted.“

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

“wow this place delivered on it all!!! fast , fresh and fair priced! delicious! 10/10 will recommend.“

“It was past midnight and I was starving. This was the only decent place opened. My experience exceeded my expectations. Everything was great, the atmosphere, the food quality, pricing, and the speed of service. Our waitress was Tony, and he was very kind and attentive. His Grateful Dead shirt and his cool mustache made my night“

“Creole and Cajun food fanatic here. I spend a LOT of time in New Orleans and Montréal (a great Creole food city as well.) The gumbo was as good as I've had in a long time- the secret is getting that smoke in there and you did it. My girlfriend had the vegan chili-phenomenal. Nice people and location. Can't wait to return!“

“If there’s a better restaurant in Columbus, I’m not aware of it. Highly recommend, never disappoints!“

“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“

“pros and cons. CONS.. If you were to base your visit on first checking out the cleanliness of the bathrooms before you eat, you'd turn around and leave. The men's room in the basement needs so much work and the multiple colonies of gnats was like visiting the basement of college kids from a party and cans and spilled beer have never been cleaned up. Horrible condition. The ladies refused to even look at theirs. Booths are small and tight. Definitely an old building, but it's kind of cool with its history. PROS... Those were some really really good burgers. Wife got the Ali and I got the Old School. Burgers are huge and easily splitable. We tried this after friends suggested the burgers and we were not disappointed. Onion rings were too greasy for us, but the fries and homemade chips were great. Alll and all, it's definitely an option to eat again when in town.“
