50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Grandview Heights

“The weekend brunch is highly underrated, but not to be missed! We were greeted with a warm fire and lovely ambiance of live music on a crisp fall morning. Third and Hollywood has a very cozy, dimly lit vibe that is great for celebrating a special occasion, date nights, happy hour and as we recently found out the best brunch in the 614!

Having long been on a quest to find the best cinnamon roll in Columbus, we have finally found it! As a vegetarian my go-to dish is the vegetarian mixed grill. A common mistake restaurants make with vegetarian/vegan dishes is not making it filling/hearty enough but I always come home with leftovers here! The artichoke hearts are another staple dish here that can not be missed.“

“While shooting a segment for the show Out n About Columbus, the owner Colin and the chef Marja took us through a gastronomic journey that left every one of the crew dumbstruck from the flavor and creativity in the dishes that were offered to us today! If you have the opportunity to dine at this incredible establishment, don't walk... RUN in the door! Don't ask for a menu! Let the staff take you on a culinary adventure! You definitely will not regret the decision, not one bit!“

“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.“

“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 🤗“

“Was told to come try out the amazing food here so we decided to make the trip down. Cannot say anything negative at all about the experience. Food was amazing! I got the chik’n pasta and my husband got the Philly and fries. Food was made to order and very fresh. My pasta was so good that my husband raved about it the whole time there and after. Clayton is the owner and chef and was very personable with everyone ensuring their food and service was good. He took his time explaining things to us and it’s very obvious how passionate he is about his food. Before we left he insisted we try a sample of his soup and corn bread. WOW!! Definitey will be back for more!“

“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!“

“My Husband & I are so grateful to Woodhouse Vegan for hosting & catering our intimate 40 person wedding in September 2022. My husband and I are both vegan, and found the prospect of finding vegan catering for our small wedding daunting. We were thrilled that Woodhouse, one of the best vegan restaurants in Columbus, was open to not only catering our wedding, but also hosting it! Carla & the entire Woodhouse team made our big day incredible!! They did a fantastic job communicating prior to the wedding- we spoke via email, text, phone, and in person at the Woodhouse space. They answered all of our questions & provided helpful suggestions for how the night should run. On the day of our wedding they were flexible and provided us the stress-free easy going atmosphere we were hoping for. Carla kindly whispered a few things in our ears as the night went on letting us know how the bar tab was doing and to check in prior to serving each course. We had so much fun! The entire Woodhouse team helped us craft a delicious multi-course meal that our vegan and non-vegan guests loved. Their drinks were also fantastic! They happily catered to a few picky eaters on the guest list, as well as provided some non-alcoholic options for our non-drinking guests. The atmosphere was gorgeous, as always, and we were thrilled to use both the patio and indoor space. With 40 guests the space felt lively but not crowded. We even had space to install a small archway in the patio for the ceremony. We’re so grateful to the whole Woodhouse team for all they did to make our dream wedding day come to life!“

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

“Literally….one of the best, and I’ve gone to many across a lot of states. Reminds me of what we ate in the early 90s in Boston. WILL be coming back when we visit next.“

“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“

“one of my favorite lunch and snack spots downtown! fresh delicious food and wonderful staff!! Acia bowl 10 out of 10!!“

“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 😂“

“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!“

“phenomenal food. great atmosphere“

“Amazing Food!“

“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!“

“Relaxing, entertaining & fun. The food is adequate.“

“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“

“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.“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

“Fantastic food! Will definitely be back soon!“

“Best food and drinks I have had in Columbus!“

“Delicious, affordable, and super friendly atmosphere! Yappy Greek is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious, the prices are great, and the vibe is warm and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! 👏🇬🇷“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Brassica is like no place else, and in all the best ways. The flavors in the food are incredible and always consistently delicious. I am glutenf free, and I can eat every single item except for the pita. The choices are amazing. The french fries are to die for, too! Run - don't walk!!“

“My Mother in law and I happened upon this place while driving around Columbus before we went to COSI. I am so glad we stopped because the staff were all very kind and helpful, their food was awesome and the ambiance/vibe was so great. It was a great place to chill and have great conversation. I had the avocado toast with lox and a poached egg, not only did it look amazing, but it tased so good! My M-I-L got a Monte Cristo sandwich and loved it. Also we got some of their delicious rosemary and olive oil bread, banana bread and a peach basil muffin to go. We each had a specialty coffee drink as well. Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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 ?!“

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

“Fantastic Stromboli’s and high quality to detail, give it a try!!“

“There is a lot of average Indian food out there but Rooh is on another level. It is one that we have only experience at restaurants like Deshoom in London. The hostess was so wonderful her personality is the best way to walk into a restaurant. The wait staff was perfection and unlike so many restaurants nowadays the pacing of the 3 course meal for restaurant week was perfection. Each course more tasty and beautifully prepared than the next. We don’t come to Columbus often but I would consider coming back just to eat here, and we will for sure be back next time we are in town. I just wish we would have Indian food this good anywhere near where we live. This place is a gem.“

“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!!!“

“The egg sandwich is truly amazing. Perfect!!!“

“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.“

“This was my daughter's idea. She really likes a lot of health conscience food. For me, if im eating out, I want it tasty. Well this place hit both of those marks with flying colors. The food was delish and for as tasty as it was I really expected it to be a whole lot more per meal. We spent $34. + tip and both of us got a bowl with 1 protein and shared some potstickers. I will definitely be back.“

“Fine Italian dining, with an excellent, reasonably priced menu and gracious owners, Rick and Jackie. They have been a consistently high quality venue in Grandview Heights for 22 years!“

“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!“

“Food is good, though it is the only place I know where you have to sit at a high top or a bar stool to get discounts on appetizes during happy hour. Not everyone can sit on a high seat.“

“We were on a Road trip and found this hidden gem!!! 10/10!!!!“

“I love this place!! Best falafel in town, heard it from a friend and it’s true. I’m vegetarian and they still have lots of yummy dishes that I love. The owner is very nice and they have great service. Give this place a try!“

“Great beer, great food, great people.“

“My husband and I stopped in yesterday for lunch and was able to see all of the Smashburger workers band together and fill a to-go order for 196 people. They did an amazing job. Would 100% recommend Westerville Smashburger.....with these people, you won't be disappointed! 😊“

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

“Mmm, hotdog good. Eat many, I did. Eat many more, I will.“

“It is a great choice to meet up with friends . Food is excellent and service is great.“
