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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We had a lovely dinner with friends here. The place was lively & busy on a Friday evening. The service was Excellent!! They have a nice wine list with selections for many tastes, by the glass or bottle. We had the Cheese Stuffed Butter Rolls as an appetizer for the table which were only ok for me, everyone else liked them. We all really loved our House Specialties entrees. My Seared Scallops came with five perfectly cooked. The Pan Fried Fish, St Louis BBQ Ribs and Ribeye we're all so delicious. The Texas sheet cake for dessert was shared and very good also the espresso Martini to finish the meal was perfect. Family friendly and was a bit too loud at time although I loved the vibs and would love to visit again. We spent over $440w/tip for four people, apps, bottle of wine, drinks, entrees, and desserts.“

“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.“

“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 🤗“

“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.“

“phenomenal food. great atmosphere“

“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. 🫶🌱“

“I ordered online, so I can’t rate the service or atmosphere. But, the food is absolutely delicious! Fresh, flavorful and well cooked. First time was a group order - Lamb chops, vegetables, hummus, baba ghanoush, and lentil rice were all delicious! Vegan options are available. The only thing was that the chicken bites were a little dry. I ordered again a couple of days later, and got the chicken shawarma and mango smoothie. Both were on point!“

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

“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 & 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!“

“Amazing Food!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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! 👏🇬🇷“

“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!“

“the staff here is amazing! we came for the Lei’d Back tiki event and the staff was so accommodating and helpful every step of the way. it was such a fun event and nicely organized. we felt like true VIPs! i will definitely be back for more themed events!!“

“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.“

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

“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 😂“

“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“

“Was working in Columbus all weekend closest spot was Mikey‘s. We ate there three nights in a row. Great pizza and cold beers. Highly recommend I will be back.“

“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!“

“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! 😻“

“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“

“most amazing restaurant in Columbus“

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

“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!!“

“This is the second time we've eaten here this week. We have been very fortunate to have Regina as our waitress both times. She is fantastic. The food, atmosphere and staff.have made our visits here very nice. We will return here the next time we are in town.“

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

“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.“

“The Blueberry Chia Bowl and Hug in a Mug were the perfect breakfast and so delicious. I am from out of town and will be craving the bowl until my next visit!“

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

“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!“

“Excellent food and atmosphere“

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

“Such a great place. Love the natural light and nice people.“

“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.“
