50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Upper Arlington

“My son and I love going to Brassica in Upper Arlington. The people are always friendly, the food amazing, and the atmosphere uplifting. Everything on the menu is delicious - and it is vegetarian friendly. You can't go wrong here. The staff really works well together as a team and they take great care of their patrons. We feel very lucky to have this business in our community!“

“We absolutely LOVE coming here for breakfast every weekend. We like to try new things, but our favorites are the Dutch Baby, the Cherry Kijafa Crepes and the Eggs Benedict! Everyone is great but we always love when Lianne is our server, she's the best!“

“Hudson’s is usually our family’s go-to-place for special occasions. We were there on 6/20/26, celebrating Father’s Day. We usually have great food and great service, but we were a little disappointed on this visit. I got the swordfish special with peach chutney. The fish was overly seasoned and too spicy. Nowhere did it say on the description on the meal, did it mention spicy. I perspired uncomfortably due to it, which I generally do when foods are too spicy. The kale salad that was served with it was delicious and the peach pound cake was delicious as well, but with too few peaches.Husband said his French dip sandwich was not as good as usual, different type bun, and his fries were not hot .“

“I came in hungry and left spiritually healed. Whoever is in charge of making the piadas deserves a raise because that thing barely survived the drive home. The food was fresh, the staff was awesome, and the whole place had a great vibe.

Honestly, if loving carbs is wrong, I don't want to be right. Definitely one of my new favorite spots!“

“Imagine my surprise and delight when I looked for a restaurant, near my hotel in Columbus, Ohio this evening, and found SOW! SŌW Plated was founded by people who wanted to demonstrate that brain healthy and mood supportive food could also be delicious. We had a wonderful conversation with one of the owners who is interested in what I am doing with both the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition and Eating Protein Saves Lives. We then had an amazing dinner 🙂. Hopefully, we will find a way to collaborate.“

“MOUTHWATERING. HOMEMADE AND AUTHENTIC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“Great place and flavorful food! First experience with the Chicken ramen and the staff was patient, accommodating and nice. Would come back again! Would love some rice noodle options though.“

“Amazing food southern comfort menu and great family atmosphere could take kids or just have a ladies brunch 100% recommend“

“I ordered Shrimp Lo Mein from Uber One and it was pretty good. The container of my Lo Mein looked smallish but I was stuffed and had to force myself to finish it 😝😉🍜
I just ordered dinner again for this evening and I’m looking forward to it already!
The Lo Mein was not dry at all. Not bursting with flavor but definitely good.“

“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 🤗“

“Amazing food, solid values. I enthusiastically recommend.“

“Wow! Been vegan for almost 15 years now, with an 11-year-old who has been vegan all his life, & fiancé who has been vegan 4 years now - and this was some of the most delicious mac & cheese we have ever had! All three of us ordered a different sandwich and they were all phenomenal - the buffalo chik'n special, spicy bak'n burger special, and the regular chik'n sandwich. They all came with perfectly seasoned, hot, and crispy fries. Staff was also incredibly friendly & personable. An all-around great place! We will definitely return! Highly recommended. 🫶🌱“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Lavash Cafe is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants in the Columbus area. Our most resent visit was on a Sunday afternoon and we had a delightful experience.

The food is always spot on. My fried raves about the rice be to ng their favorite while I love the chicken kebob sandwich wrapped in the lavash bread. Most recently we tried the jumbo grilled shrimp which may be my new favorite dish here.

The staff is always polite and courteous. Additionally the bathrooms are spotless and even have a bidet sprayer available.“

“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 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!“

“Amazing Food!“

“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!“

“Our first experience at Tommy’s Diner was fantastic! The food was delicious & the service was exceptional. The country fried steak was very flavorful and the cinnamon roll was to die for. We will definitely be returning! 😻“

“Your new summer obsession is here. 😍 Compressed Watermelon. Honey-Lime Ricotta. Lemongrass. Ginger. Pistachio. Cooling. Creamy. Crunchy. Absolutely incredible. #PlasMelonNRicotta #FoodieFind #InstaFood #Yum #Delicious #EatLocal #TryIt #Refreshing #columbusFood“

“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.“

“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.“

“most amazing restaurant 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! 👏🇬🇷“

“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“

“This place is unreal! Tried it today for the first time and was blown away. We got the cheesesteak warios way and the chicken cutlet. Huge portions everything was fresh hot and delicious. Would consider making a day trip from WV to eat here!!“

“Absolutely Delicious! The Best Shrimp Scampi Ever! I modified the dish to have it with linguini instead of the orzo...So Good!!! Our server, Kennedy...and friends, were a delight to be with! I even celebrated my Birthday with them! Thanks again 101 Craft Kitchen! Do Visit and Eat!“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

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

“Our server Julie was fantastic. She made good conversation and had good recommendations. The lemon ricotta pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Also had the morning meditation which is a good juice blend for ginger-lovers. Will definitely come back when in town again.“

“Great beer, great food, great people.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wonderful food, great fast service, good quality ingredients, cute atmosphere!

This place is fun, you go in, check your options off on a paper menu, and they prepare it in front of you.

The avocado up-charge is a half of an avocado, and feels like a great deal, and the crab rangoons are magical (according to my fiancée, who is a crab rangoon aficionado).

We’re waiting till cold season to try the hot soup/noodles, and haven’t tried the bento boxes yet, but definitely will.

The Poke bowl with 2 proteins is enough for me for two meals.

I’d give this place an A++ and rate it one of my favorite in downtown Columbus!“

“Always a great experience, so pumped that there is one right by my house now.“

“Coco’s food and staff are all fantastic . We have been enjoying the experience s”almost weekly since they opened. Highly recommend“
