50 Best Vegetarian 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.“

“They have the most amazing gluten free Italian! Definitely will be back!“

“A huge shout out to Romeo’s for absolutely nailing my lunch order today! Everything was perfect!“

“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!“

“This restaurant is exceptional; my local friend has been hyping it up for years, but they’ve always been closed when I’m visiting Columbus. The staff were so kind, everything was easily made vegan, and the dishes were incredibly delicious. One of my omnivorous pals said the lasagna was how he always dreamed that dish should taste, but never does. I was relieved to hear this, since they switched the dairy cheese with cashew cheese. Easily one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to, can’t wait to come back“

“Always hits the spot. I get it right when I'm getting sick, and it's like a warm hug on a winter day. I recommend the saltah (vegetable soup), the foul stew (lentils) with a side of kabz arabi (bread). Incredible hidden gem. Found it from the Columbus Food Adventures Alt Eats food tour. Have been back a couple times since.“

“I love this place. Friendly staff and great pizza! Cute patio outside and also indoor dining.“

“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.“

“Vegan options are clearly marked. The hummus was rated best in Columbus for a reason. It's amazing!!! Everything here is great. The falafel, pita, rice, all very fresh and spiced perfectly! The staff is amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The owner is a great guy too. Never had a bad experience. True local gem in Columbus!!“

“My family and I had a great dinner at Layla’s Kitchen!! Highly recommend this restaurant- food was delicious and wonderful wait staff!!“

“My friends and I came here for my birthday for brunch and it was nothing but a positive experience. I am new to the area so I am still trying to find where to go for good food and drinks. Our server David was very good and always made sure we were happy. I will be returning-- thank you for an awesome birthday brunch! :)“

“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 🤗“

“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 😂“

“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!!“

“Delicious! So great to have a place like this in time. ❤️“

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

“We were looking for a local sandwich shop after an afternoon at Cosi. We stopped here on our way home. Everyone was so sweet and the food was out of this world. I'd 💯 recommend this place!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“As first-time guests, our minds are blown, by the excellent level of service and food. As fans of Top Chef, we had the joy of watching such high caliber preparation. The kitchen ran as a symphony, with such professionalism, speed and precision. And the flavors!!!!! Chef Sara is exemplar, and personable, even taking the time to chat with us. Our server Jolee is also worth asking for, as her level of kindness and service is beyond words. And another wonderful element, which is often overlooked, is that our water glasses were immediately refilled. We travel the world, and this has been one of our all-time best dining experiences. You will be amazed!“

“Best meal I have ever truly experienced in my 27 years of life. I have no other words I’m speechless at this meal and experience. Wowzie wow wow wow“

“Joey went above and beyond for us on my first visit to Derive Brewing.. I’ll be back from Indiana as soon as the Turtleneck & Gold Chains is available again. Best Hazy I’ve ever tasted!!“

“Between the 5 of us we tried four different dishes and all were excellent (arrabbiata, chicken parm, ravioli and veal piccata). The tiramisu is likewise delicious. It was quite loud even at 8:45 pm (admittedly on a Friday), but the food was well worth it!“

“Good pizza. Sausage was delicious 😋“

“This is an established and an amazing place. It’s always good. The food and service is perfect.“

“Upon entering we were greeted by Jahlyia and she was so pleasant and helpful as we looked over the cakes.
She seated us and her personality made it obvious we had made a good choice to dine here.
In the past many of the servers were cold and dismissive but jahlyia made us feel welcomed and important.
Helpful with our menu selection and attentive to our needs. This girl is a keeper and makes the environment just that much better!
The food was incredible as always and the value makes it easy to comeback again and again!“

“It's about the total caring, class, and commitment to restauranteering. Quality is in everything they do. Ishikowa, the Father of the Japanese Quality System, describes it the best, and is apropo: "To practice quality control is to develop, design, produce, and service a quality product that is most economical, most useful, and always satisfactory to the consumer." Basi Italia has elevated restauranteering to a high art.“

“I recommend Condado tacos here at Easton. I also recommend our waitress Erin B. She is amazing, friendly and quick!!“

“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“

“Always great service.
Parking can be difficult but usually not bad.
Neat concept with three floors, bars on each floor.
Rooftop bar is fun, library is neat, food hall has so many options.
Try a drink of the month.
Ask for Frank .“

“We went with friends On 3/29/25 to the Polaris location. First time visiting and it was slammed. Luckily we made reservations ahead of time. All I can tell you is the place is amazing in every way. The food was great and affordable. The service was 5-star. We will return! 👍❤️“

“What a wonderful way to start our day - breakfast here as first time visitors from out of town. A few interesting breakfast dishes (I had the Greek omelet), efficiently prepared by courteous & professional staff. The place was packed, but the waitress served us with aplomb.“

“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!“
