50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Arlington

“10 out of ten would recommend my server Alexis was amazing definitely having to come again“

“Always delicious traditional Egyptian fare. My Egyptian husband makes me drive two hours just to eat here. Although the food is delicious and healthy, my fav thing is the mint lemonade which they make by hand.“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“Food is really good. Good German style plates. Service was impeccable. The staff was very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is extremely loud. It was, however, a Friday night and was a bar scene. If you like a good bar, that's a little loud, this is the place for you. If you want a bar/restaurant that you can talk at, don't go here on Friday.“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“I got to try your Earl Grey tea ice cream over the summer, and recently tried your London Fog ice cream bars, and they're both awesome!! Thank you for creating these!!“

“Franz was a great server! He was quick, friendly and gave awesome recommendations. Sitting at the sushi bar was the highlight of our experience! We had great conversations with the chefs and manager. We even were given a few samples to try - delicious! 10/10 experience, we can’t wait to come back!“

“Food was great. Overall satisfied with the meal. Wait staff was quick and friendly. Worth a visit. Only way it could be improved is to have citronella candles on the table. There are no candles on the tables outside. Be sure to tip generously!“

“We’ve been going to SER for several years now especially for family celebrations. The food and service is always excellent. I highly recommended SER for any occasion!“

“This place is unique and a delight to have in pentagon row! They have flavors I’ve never had anywhere before. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is made in house and it’s absolutely wonderful! Good excuse to take a walk to try every flavor! Yummy!!!“

“We decided to do lunch at Ted’s Bulletin. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice and modern. The portion sizes are large, prices are reasonable and the food taste delicious.“

“WOW! I live in DC and have tried basically every Thai place in DC but rarely make it to VA. Thai is some of my favorite food. My main complaint with most DC places is that the food is NOT spicy enough. Not the case here! I got the drunken noodles tonight and hands down they were the spiciest best I've had in the area! Love this place! New favorite Thai spot in the DMV! I'll be back and VERY SOON! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THAI FOOD SPICY AS IT SHOULD BE!“

“That’s legit Italian food 😋🍕“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

“I've been to Dama a few times and honestly it's the best Ethiopian food in the DMV. The service is always quick and the food is so delicious.

Pro tip since you won't have room for dessert: make sure to visit the bakery side before dinner to grab some pastries to take home.

You'll thank yourself later.“

“Did not expect this!
The bastille was like dessert for dinner. It was amazing!

The shawarma sandwiches and platters both had so much flavor. Highly recommend this spot. It may not look much on the outside, but the service and quality of food is sublime.

Will definitely come back“

“The scenary was great a lowly dimmed nice vibe of a place not too loud me & my friend sat at the bar & that is when Grace came & introduced herself, sne made a drink that have grapefruit which I don't hate but she made it taste great for it & also suggested to try the Bang bang shrimp bao which was great. If you haven't been to this place or been meaning to come by you should, the food, drinks, ambiance, & vibes are definitely a 10/10 don't miss out !“

“Pizza is very good, reasonably priced. they sell by the slice and offer meal deals. Definitely recommend“

“👏👏👏 One of the Best Coffee spots in Arlington.“

“just want to tell you...the best in DMV 5☆“

“Stumbled into Akivva Grill after my dog’s vet appointment nearby — great find. Fresh ingredients, well-seasoned meat on the spit, and generous portions at a fair price. Clean spot, no-frills service — the older guys are focused on the food, not small talk. Just order, eat, and enjoy.“

“I had the best server I’ve had in a real long time. His name was Bikal and he was efficient with our waters, food and checks and just overall great server and nice guy. He made my silver diner experience better.“

“Great atmosphere, food, and staff 🥰“

“Stumbled upon this spot and am so glad I did! After our first time here, my boyfriend and I liked it so much that we came back five days later. Not only does it have great beer and a very cool dive-bar-vibe, but it is so wonderful that literally every item on the menu can be made vegan, with a huge selection of meat alternatives and yummy vegan cheeses (there's also a create-your-own section!) The side of chickpeas is also INCREDIBLE - a definite fave of both mine and my boyfriend (non-vegan). Updated from previous review on 2019-03-07“

“I actually think this is the best place to watch premier league in the USA“

“So good! Loved everything and service was great“

“Incredible food and atmosphere and service 5 stars all the way“

“Excellent service, terrific food!“

“Vegan pizza and garlic knots“

“Asia Bistro at Pentagon Row is the ideal location to eat and chat with friends on the weekend. Try one of their bento boxes for lunch or enjoy an evening for two with your Asian fusion entrees.“

“Verre Wine Bar offers a warm, elegant atmosphere with a well-curated wine list that caters to both experts and casual drinkers. The staff is knowledgeable and welcoming, making recommendations without the pretension. Small plates like the charcuterie board and truffle fries are delicious, though slightly pricey. It’s a cozy, quiet spot — perfect for date nights or catching up with friends. Reservations are a good idea on busy nights.“

“Great foods and great service.“

“I love Metro 29 and Mr. Coffee (hope I spelled his name correctly). He is so gracious—the perfect host. The food is pricey, but the portions are huge. I love getting breakfast there.“

“Thanks again for a wonderful dinner shared with my family. Though it’s been many, many years, it’s still the same, with a few changes, its a great place. I know I can always count on you all every single time and I’m proud to know you’ve been my neighbor all these years as well. Whenever you’re around, it always feels more like home. And I love that for all these years you’ve had the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue. So many friends have been given a forever home, including a very special friend of mine. Thanks for all you continue to do. I hope you never leave us.“

“it's on Langston blvd but It's really Lee highway. This is my absolute favorite location for a few reasons. Its on the way home from work, it's never overly crowded and it's by far the best bc of the staff. Rosa, Joseph and Maria have been cooking my nightly meals more then a few times and it's always an absolute pleasure bc the food is top notch, they are friendly, caring and have a knack for making you laugh as soon as you enter the door. In this age where cookie cutter nonsense is the norm they are not. They feel like a part of the neighborhood. They know people's names (or ask) and just have a very down to earth vibe about them. I even got a bonus taco. Yes you read that right. A bonus taco. Who could ask for more after a long 12 hour day. When I'm exhausted after work there is no other place I'd rather get food from then them. Thank you and cya next week.“

“Just found the place today. This is, without exaggeration or hyperbole, the best chicken pot pie I have ever had in my entire life. And THEN we had the Tart Cherry with flaky crust for dessert - if it’s not the best I’ve ever had, it’s in the top 3. WOW.“

“Great job with the quesadilla regarding my dietary restrictions.“

“We’ve been ordering take-out and delivery from these guys for 14 years now. Love their pepperoni pizza! Quality food and reasonably priced.“

“Cheese was not as bad as it seemed. Can’t judge a book by its cover“

“We took a group of 60 people to this place for dinner and it was half adults and half 5th Graders. Nestor was so accommodating and the staff was amazing! The food was even better.“

“This is probably mine and the families favorite hot pot to go to in this area. The food is absolutely delicious, it’s nice that the vegetables are a buffet style where you can get them at your own pace. The quality is great and so is the service! If you’re into hot pot and in the area this place is an absolute must!!“

“We had our wedding at the Commentary on 5/31/25 and we could not be more thrilled with our experience. Olivia Martel and Chef Fran were PHENOMENAL to work with. Anything we wanted, we got. We wanted a low key, chill wedding, and decided on stations and the pasta bar with a plethora of appetizers and the execution was a 10/10. We loved having the whole bar and restaurant to ourselves in Ballston and welcoming guests from across the country and being in the Commentary’s/Westin’s care. They took really great care of us and we couldn’t be more grateful for the most beautiful day of our lives.“

“start with the good: the calamari and shrimp appetizers were absolutely delicious. Perfectly seasoned, full of flavor, and super crispy — truly a highlight. It was a slower Sunday, so I'm not sure why the service moved so slowly. Our drinks and appetizers took quite a while, and there was a shift change that caused our appetizers to be missed altogether (they did end up comping them, which we appreciated). For lunch, I had the steak salad, my daughter ordered the steak and fries (medium rare), and my son-in-law had the margherita pizza. All three dishes were really yummy. I'll definitely come back for the steak salad — it was that good. The only downside was the pacing. With only about two other tables seated, it was surprising that service was still that slow. But overall, the food was delicious, and that's a big plus.“

“Visiting from ohio. One server handled the whole place. She was great! Awesome teamwork, food came out hot and fast. Great little place!“

“$5.50 for an extra scoop of meat…why…

Other than that this place is extremely solid. The bulgogi is usually rich in flavor, veggies are fresh, rice is nice and soft.

My order: white rice, bulgogi, half cucumber, half carrot, creamy sriracha? Chipotle?, sesame oil and seeds. Then when I get home I cook an over easy egg and throw it in. Lasts me three delicious meals!“

“Astor, we are so glad that you have reopened! We have missed you greatly and wish you nothing but the utmost success!!

Though Arlington offers an abundance of dining options, this place stands apart, and I can confidently say that you cannot go wrong here. We have tried the lamb shank with rice, chicken shawarma, chicken brochette, falafel pita with fires and the hummus. Everything is fresh and delicious. Try it for yourself, and you will quickly understand why the reviews are so glowing. Astor, you have earned every bit of praise and more!!“

“I had a full meal at this Vietnamese restaurant. The spring rolls were about the same as any other pho restaurant but the broth for the wonton noodle soup did not disappoint. I got it with pho tuoi since i like the fatter rice noodles. I finished my entire bowl!“
