50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Columbia

“Reizod serves amazing food as well as great service! They definitely get 5 stars. My husband and I agree that the only thing wrong here is that they are 2 hrs from where we live but when in the area again, we will definitely stop in.“

“We went to celebrate our anniversary. We were greeted with kindness, understanding, and genuine care. Alex was a fantastic server and the other wait staff were very attentive. He knew what to suggest on the menu and provided us with great options. Our steaks were delicious and the sides (baked corn and lobster mac-n-cheese) were so tasty. We left with our bellies full and feeling well taken care of. Such an amazing place to go for date night or a special occasion.“

“Very nice atmosphere. The food was amazing. Salmon croquettes, Creole soup and key lime pie. 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 The valet Jake was very courteous as well as the waitress Ashton. ✨✨✨“

“I’ve been going to 929 for years! It’s one of the best moderate Korean restaurants in Columbia.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Absolutely love Backstreets! The food is always great and the service is outstanding. Today our server Jamie was so attentive and friendly - so nice to see someone who is happy and customer-oriented. She wasn’t flustered by six ladies, special orders, separate checks and last minute to-go orders… in fact she welcomed each request with a warm smile and even made suggestions. Backstreets will continue to be our go to place.“

“I have been a customer of this organization from Hunt Club Road to Jackson Blvd, to its current location. The atmosphere is pure Gasthaus, and the food is as authentic as one can obtain in this area.“

“PERFECT LOVED IT“

“My husband was taken to this restaurant two weekends ago and now we have to drive to Columbia just for this restaurant because it has ruined him! LOL 🤣 By the way, we are driving over an hour to eat there! See you guys tomorrow! Delicioso! My husband can't wait!!!!! 😋👍❤️ I give this place five stars and I haven't even ate there!!!!“

“I wanted to rave about the manager, Eddie, and chef, Jonathan. On Friday, I inquired about accommodating my stringent dietary restrictions, and they proactively exceeded expectations. My requirements included the exclusive use of pure olive oil in the preparation of my meal. Initially, I expressed concern that my options might be limited to broccoli and a simple salad. Manager Eddie assured me that this was unacceptable and suggested I contact the chef the following day to discuss my needs. Following this conversation, Chef Jonathan promptly developed a suitable solution. I ordered the brick chicken, prepared using only olive oil, rosemary, and thyme—a dish perfectly aligned with my dietary limitations. The meal was exquisite, and I thoroughly enjoyed dining with my friends. accommodate my very strict food intolerances, and they went out of their way to do just that. I needed my dishes to be cooked in pure olive oil, amongst other things. At first, I told Eddie it looked like I could only have broccoli and a salad with minimal toppings. He said, "You can't come here and just eat salad and broccoli." He then said to call the next day, and he would get the chef on the phone to discuss my food concerns. I called the next day, and Jonathan quickly had an idea. I ordered the brick chicken, which only had olive oil, rosemary, and thyme. Exactly what I was able to eat. It was delicious, and I was so thrilled to eat out with my friends. I so appreciate both of them going out of their way for me.“

“I loved my experience at Tasty as Fit. This was my second visit and the team is always incredible in helping me decide. I’m slowing starting my vegetarian diet and I love how my questions are always answered with enthusiasm and patience. Carli is amazing! She attended to and entertained my 3 year old son while I made my selection. That meant the world to me. Thank you so much Carli and Tasty as Fit team. My salad and cold pressed ginger juice was absolutely delicious.“

“Loved the vibe, location, and food! The ambience is just as important as the food and service, and this place lived up to that. I had the pork chop which was divine, and I normally would never order that. Only complaint is that my mushroom soup and entree were served together.“

“By far the BEST Mediterranean food I have ever had. AND, it’s owned and ran by the sweetest, most hardworking family. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more, I wish I could give it 100 stars!“

“This is one of my favorite spots in Columbia! They have an amazing rooftop with great energy. You can get food up there too although the menu is slightly limited and more geared towards small plates-- which makes sense for a rooftop anyway! In the main dining area service is excellent. I could eat the mushroom toast every day- it's that good! As a wine professional I appreciate their thoughtful selections, there's something for everyone. Much love!“

“Everything about our experience at Saluda's was just lovely from start to finish. Great atmosphere, fantastic service, absolutely delicious food. Highly recommend!!“

“Brussel sprouts, salmon, brisket halibut you name it and everything was delicious always!! Highly recommend!!“

“Got a Chiken Biscuit, Chili Cheese Hot Dog, and a Large Sweet Tea.
Food is pretty good and the people there are rather nice.
The prices are rather very affordable as where most would charge your more money for the same things.

Would Highly Recommend trying them out for yourself.

Good Breakfast and Lunch.“

“We dined in at JJ Curry and Biryani with my daughters, and we had such a great experience! The Mixed Grill was recommended by the owner himself, and let me tell you, it wasssss greattttt! Everything on the platter was flavorful, juicy, and grilled to perfection. You could taste the authentic spices in every bite. My daughters especially loved the Veg Samosas, crispy, hot, and filled with delicious spiced potatoes and peas. As usual, they were perfect. It’s our favorite every time we visit! We also tried the Garlic Naan and Cheese Naan both were fresh, soft, and went so well with the meal. The staff was super kind. Definitely one of our favorite places for Indian food. Highly recommend the Mixed Grill for meat lovers and don’t skip the samosas! will be back for sure.“

“The bulgogi at Kimchi Korean Restaurant was the standout for me. The beef was tender, nicely seasoned, and had that slightly sweet and savory flavor that made it hard to stop eating. We also had the usual assortment of banchan, which gave us plenty of different flavors and textures to mix with the meal. Everything came out hot, and the portions were generous enough to make sharing easy. A comforting Korean meal with plenty of flavor.“

“Me encantó todo! Muy amables!“

“Oh man, we found this place on our way out of town for breakfast and everything was absolutely amazing. The pricing was fantastic - only $6-7/pp for sandwiches. My husband made the comment that if we had one of these at home he'd be in trouble. Yum!!!“

“Today I visited this restaurant for the first time along with my family after traveling over an hour just to get to them. We were blown away by the service, the food was fabulous, atmosphere was great and overall experience was wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great experience at Dano’s! Dog-friendly, friendly staff, good selection of draft beers, and plenty of delicious food.
The garlic knots were a hit—slightly fried for a nice toasted crunch, with plenty of garlic and olive oil. I had the veal Parmesan over spaghetti, which was tender and flavorful, with a sauce that wasn’t overly sweet. The kids loved their chicken Parmesan.
The Caprese salad was fresh and refreshing, and we took home chocolate mousse and tiramisu—both delicious.
The pizzas looked amazing, so I’ll definitely be trying one next time!“

“Highly recommend! Beautiful atmosphere and awesome customer service. Our waiter Jed was amazing“

“First time and will be the first of many! Absolutely amazing! Service, atmosphere, presentation everything was so great! Our server Kasim was so friendy, promt and knowledgeable! Being our first time trying Indian food, outside of samosas, he was helpful in our selection and spice level😁💯💯💯💯 A 100% recommendation! Somasas, chili paneer, garlic naan, butter chicken, lamb biryani, mango lassi (smoothie) THANK YOU FOR THE BEST DINNER! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“
