Vegetarian Restaurants near Grandview Heights

“Very nice establishment!! We have always walked by, wondering what those great smells were a part of, now we know, met some friends there who were regulars and the food was delicious. Service was great, never had to ask for a refill of water or wine.“

“La Tavola serves classic dishes with a nouveau twist. The pasta bolognese was superb and prepared in the classic way but with these thick hand cut pasta sheets. Very, very elegant and delicious. The ambiance is very relaxed and inviting. The decor is simple and neat with an industrial edge. The service was exceptional. This place is what we call a "no brainer!" If you happen to be in the Columbus area, put this place on the must do list. Yelp on my peeps, Yelp on! Definitely Yelp Ninja worthy!!“

“First-time customer of Romeo's, which I ordered for delivery. I have been craving this style of pizza lately! I know a lot of pizza snobs will claim that this isn't even pizza anymore, but I disagree. It has all the components of pizza and then some. I went with spinach, meatballs, and caramelized onions for my 'toppings', even though they aren't on top. The crust was a little crispy, but I did heat it up again so that could have been the reason. The toppings were good, though there could have been a little more spinach. The one thing that we didn't like was the sauce-- it's definitely a little too sweet for my taste for sure. It was also served with a side of sauce labeled capone sauce, which wasn't my favorite. It's almost like a spicy ranch or something, but it almost made the pizza sauce taste even sweeter when paired. Overall the pizza was pretty good and the leftovers did get eaten, but I would love to see a change in the pizza sauce recipe.“

“We first visited with the Alt Eats Food Tour through Columbus Food Adventures and it stole the show. We keep coming back for more and continue to recommend that everyone else do the same. The food and service are fabulous! We've loved everything that we've ordered and the hummus specifically is the best in town!“

“Our dining experience was exceptional! We were celebrating our anniversary. Joy was our server, and she provided us excellent service. She was professional, attentive and cheerful. Our compliments to the chef. Our food was outstanding. We were provided a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary. We always have a wonderful evening when dining at Cameron's American Bistro.“

“Cool, casual, basic Mediterranean spot, where you order at the counter. My husband frequents this place quite often and he is quite a fan. I think it is okay, nothing extraordinary. The hummus came with pita and salad. The salad was fresh and refreshing. The hummus was good however, the pita was not quite great- It wasn’t terrible either ( you can give it a benefit of doubt because I consider myself quite snob and picky when it comes to pita). The chicken. Shawarma platter came with rice. The yellow rice was flavorful and the chicken was dry and very basic. My husband ordered lamb shacks- which was okay too ( although the lambs were too smelly; I mean the usual nutty/ funky lamb smell). The portion was huge, I had to take stuff back in home and ate the left over in the next day lunch.“

“So many good options here! My definitely not vegan husband loves it as well.“

“I had high expectations coming here and they were exceeded. Very flavorful! Too many restaurants are cautious about flavor but Comune really goes for it. This does mean you may be better off going with a group comfortable sharing so if something is too sour, spicy, etc., someone else at your table will like it if you don't. Some subtle flavors here are impressive too! Everything is medium sized (kind of like proper Spanish tapas) which is really fun--esp for sharing. Beware the servers may recommend ordering A LOT of food. If you are drinking, three choices for two should be plenty to start and likely enough total--then order 1-2 more only if you are still hungry. Tables can be small so they can't serve you more than 1-2 dishes at a time anyway. If you cook veg food at home there are so many ideas to play with from here. I'm going to try to make quick carrot pickles, cook with crispy rice, and celeriac at home in the coming months now too. Sometimes I'll only discover 1-2 techniques or dishes I want to make at home PER YEAR eating out so to be inspired by three different things in a single meal is wonderful. I almost never go places that can cost $50-$75 per person but this is absolutely worth it. So so good!“

“The Food is soooo good at Habibi Grill! We frequent them regularly and love the excellent Lebanese food. They always exceed expectations and the food never disappoints. Delicious!“

“We went on a tour here to learn about how they make their spirits. The tour was great, and our guide Maggie was very informative while being casual and easy to talk to. I would love to go back and meet their spirit master Adam. Prices are average compared to other places in Columbus. Vodka and gin are very affordable without tasting cheap. Only negative is there isn’t much parking. Overall I am more than satisfied with my experience here. Can’t wait for the bourbon to be released!!“

“We had dinner last night at Lindey's to celebrate my daughter's graduation from OSU. There were 8 of us, including 2 teenagers, and everyone loved their dinner, drinks and dessert. Our waitress Megan was very helpful with any questions we had! We highly recommend Lindey's!“

“it is a place where they use raw/fresh food or use no soy in there food and gluten free items“

“You are always so kind and your food is delicious. But I have to tell you this Valentines special was off the charts. So good! Thank you!“

“Great place! Best handmade noodle!“

“A wonderful date night experience with attentive service, large portions and delicious food.“

“I love the food here. But I’m getting really tired of being told there are no available booths when it’s obvious there are.“

“Excellent food. Great and fast service. Love the atmosphere and staff was super friendly! Definitely recommend.“

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

“Phenomenal flavor, super fresh bread! Has to be the best sandwich that I have had in ages!“

“Dear Schmidt's management, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for Trey, the manager of your restaurant. I have been a regular customer of Schmidt's for many years, and I have always been impressed with the level of service and hospitality that I have received. Trey is a big part of that. Trey is always friendly and welcoming, and he goes above and beyond to make sure that my experience is a positive one. He is always quick to recommend dishes that I might enjoy, and he is always happy to answer any questions that I have. He also has a great sense of humor, and he always makes me feel like I am part of the Schmidt's family. I have seen Trey in action on many occasions, and I am always impressed with his ability to manage the restaurant smoothly and efficiently. He is always calm and collected, even when things are busy. He is also a great team player, and he always makes sure that his staff is happy and productive. I am confident that Trey is a valuable asset to Schmidt's, and I highly recommend him for any management position. He is a hard worker, he is dedicated to his job, and he is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that his customers are happy. Sincerely, George & Terri Ogden“

“The owner and the entire staff are very kind and welcoming. The smell of freshly baked pita and assortment of spices will smack you in the face in the most pleasant way when you walk through that door. I try to grab the lamb/goat meat, liver, and pita bread whenever I get a chance. 10/10 would recommend.“

“What’s not to like at Tommy’s Diner? Always friendly service, a varied menu and daily specials, simply just good food from a finer. I love this place and I go whenever I can with my kids(who also love eating there). Breakfast and lunch open until 2:30pm. On West Broad just west of downtown.“

“Everything ❤️the cheesecake is better than Cheesecake Factory“

“Everything is so good and the staff is really friendly“

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

“Went to the North Market location. Delicious dumplings and an wonderful sauce. They also have a spicy sauce but it's pretty spicy! I got the chicken and they were pretty great. Chicken can be a little dry so the sauce was a nice addition. The pork was wonderfully moist. I wish I had tried the vegetable options. Next time. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back.“

“The cruffin and the cardamom roll were amazing! Prices were high. I get that costs are skyrocketing. I was just surprised they were that high. But delicious and I definitely will be back but more as a treat than a staple. Very talented baker.“

“Here, I thought this was just another american diner. I just wanted something local to eat. I wasn't expecting the mexican american cuban combo. Seriously, french toast bites, a breakfast burrito, and plantains! They put real fruit on the french toast. I love it. The place was packed, and it should be. I drive truck, and out of the many places I've been around the country, this diner is a real gem. Great food. Nice people.“

“Great place. Definitely one of my top five favorites“

“Run, don't walk to this restaurant. Absolutely delicious! We visited during COVID and picked up through the drive through, which is still available, but this time we decided to visit. We didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. It did get fairly busy on Sunday afternoon so a reservation may be helpful. They have a nice selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks but we just opted for a couple beers on draft. We ended up ordering the chicken and rice noodles, pork lumpia and the bbq chicken skewer. Everything was so good! The rice noodles were cooked perfectly and the flavoring on the bbq chicken was amazing. We also tried the halo halo dessert which also did not disappoint. Great service and wonderful food!“

“great food and decent prices“

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

“Since adopting a plant based lifestyle, I quickly learned that authentic dining options were limited to impossible burgers and cauliflower wings...until I discovered Nile Vegan!! On most days, this is a One-Man operation! He offers impeccable customer service and takes time to educate his guests so they get the most out of the entire dining experience! All of the stews are perfectly prepared and tantalizing to the taste buds! This is truly a hidden gem right in our backyard!“

“Atmosphere- 3 star- clean but really busy. Hard to find a table.Service- 4 stars- this is counter service, sorta of like Chipotle or Subway however the employee was very helpful with explaining what everything was- this is a Lebanese restaurant and I wasn’t familiar with a lot of the choices.Food- I had a salad with greens and grains, feta cheese, cauliflower, fried onions and baba (smoky eggplant dip with tahini). You had a choice of falafel, chicken or brisket but I stuck with veggies. I’m Catholic and it was a Friday during lent. I didn’t miss the meat at all! Food this good maybe I should become a vegetarian lol. Also got a side of pita bread and it was awesome!“

“Brassica is a Lebanese-inspired, Chipotle-style fast casual joint that lets you build your own pita sandwiches, salads, or hummus and chips. I usually get the salad option, akin to a bowl, with a base of lentils and greens. Protein choices include falafel, vegetable mix, chicken shawarma, or harissa-rubbed brisket. I've always gotten the chicken shawarma and the flavoring is really good. Next comes the vegetables (roasted carrots, marinated eggplant or cauliflower), and you top it off with a variety of sauces. My go-to sauces are the 'special' sauce (think tzatziki without dill) and roasted red pepper. In addition, you can add either hummus or baba ganoush, as well as crispy onions or crushed up pita chips to give it a crunch. The ingredients are fresh, delicious, and blend together wonderfully. One downside for first timers is that the menu board is posted on the left hand side near the front entrance, which makes it difficult to view once you get to the serving line. I'm not sure if they have handheld laminated menus, but imagine that could be helpful. In addition, the food is rather pricey for similar style restaurants -- my most recent bowl was $16 without a drink or any extras (i.e. the fries, which are pretty popular). However, the quality is excellent so as long as you're okay with paying a bit extra for high quality ingredients with superb flavor, Brassica is definitely worth trying!“

“Can I just sit here for a moment in silence and remember how great this place is and how Columbus is a better place just for its existence? I’ve been here several times. The food is terrific. That eggplant parmesan could have a poem written about it. You can’t beat the ambience. I can’t think of a more romantic and beautiful patio in town. Most of the more high end restaurants in Columbus leave me disappointed. This restaurant is the opposite. It blows me away.“

“Great food and service. Will go back soon.“

“Pulling up to this place really made me feel like I found something special. Everything was enjoyable. All the food we tried needed a little salt. A tiny pinch of flaked finishing salt would really be that final step into flavor town. The patio is enchanting and the people are very kind. They also have great “

“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.“

“Updating my review from 2021. The place has been remodeled and it is much better now. Cozy environment and the food is great. They offer the best Brazilian products and some gigs on the weekends. 100% recommended. The management is very kind and professional.“

“A very unique take on Mediterranean. The menu was a little confusing at first, but the employees were helpful. Everything tasted great and was extremely fresh. The pita was fluffy and hot, fresh from the oven. The hummus was fantastic! I really enjoyed this meal and thought it was perfect for a hot day. Overall very fresh and a solid meal! I was a little sad they don’t offer gyros meat, but the chicken was still great.Vegetarian options: Most of the menu would be great as a vegetarian option. Simply avoid the meat. The hummus and baba ganoush are a great veg option for a protein base.“

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

“The best Mexican food I’ve had since I was stationed in El Paso.“

“Beautiful time! It felt good to be out again. It’s been a while!“

“Great service, friendly staff, nice ambience, great food.“

“Super tasty! Lots of delicious options.“

“Ate here today for the first time. Don’t miss the Bendi Soup. The food, environment and staff were excellent! We will definitely be back.“

“This place is essentially a mall but in one building. And instead of shopping for clothes, it's shopping for food! The first floor has everything from seafood and pizza to Vietnamese street food. It's so hard to pick just one while you're there becuase you want to try everything! The second floor is a lounge and it's beautiful. The third is all drinks on a rooftop. There's a little something for everyone here. I see why is constantly so packed. Once you go here, you'll be planning ahead to when you can come back!“

“Happened upon Grand Day Cafe on a Thursday, late morning. The restaurant is clean, bright and nicely decorated. While a full dining area the acoustics were perfect for a quiet conversation. The host and server were cheerful and pleasant and very attentive, checking in often. I ordered the Chicken Salad Melt on sourdough, which was grilled to perfection. The chicken salad had great flavor and just the right mix of ingredients. I got chips instead of fries and the presentation was inviting and even included a spig of parsley. Coffee was good and my cup stayed full the entire time. Check out their specials of the day board across from the checkout counter. One thing not note is they are a breakfast/lunch venue with limited hours, closing at 2:30 on weekdays and 3:00 on weekends.“

“Fantastic burgers and chips! Neat place! We saw this online as we were traveling back home from vacation. So glad we found this gem. Friendly staff as well!“
