40 Best Vegan Restaurants in Reston

“Zack bar manager is professional, great .Hope to see him again soon“

“Everything is excellent and perfect!!!!!!“

“We enjoyed our meal at Gregorio’s immensely. The meals were tasty and good portions. The cocktails were strong and right at the limit of reasonably priced. The tiramisu was also on point.“

“Jackson’s Mighty Fine Food & Lucky Lounge (BCI: 86) 11927 Democracy Dr, Reston, VA Step into Jackson’s and you’re stepping into a space that bridges eras - a Reston mainstay that blends classic Americana with a contemporary culinary pulse. The curved brick façade, glowing neon, terrazzo floors, and murals set a retro-modern stage that feels both familiar and fresh. The menu is as versatile as the atmosphere. The Blue Crab & Shrimp Fritters arrive golden and crisp, with a lobster-ginger sauce that balances sweet and tang. Deviled Eggs topped with pecans and sugar-cured bacon hit nostalgic notes with a twist. For mains, the Short Smoked Salmon Filet was balanced and flavorful, while the 5 Star Reserve Rib Eye stands out as the indulgent showpiece - perfectly grilled and paired with Brussels sprouts, bacon, and spiced pecans. Gluten-sensitive diners aren’t sidelined here, with Ozzie’s Brick Chicken and even flourless desserts on a dedicated menu. Save room for dessert: the Flourless Chocolate Waffle with Ice Cream was rich yet not overwhelming, and the Lemon Marshmallow Meringue Pie playful and bright. Cocktails, like the Jackson’s Mule, are well-crafted and fairly priced. Service was attentive and well-paced even in a bustling room, though weekends bring a lively (and loud) crowd. Reservations are smart for dinner; weekday lunches are easier. My only miss: the French Dip. Beautifully presented but mine arrived closer to raw than medium rare, with a lukewarm au jus. For $30, I expected more precision. That said, many online reviewers rave about it. So consider it a hit-or-miss item depending on your taste for ultra-rare beef. Whether it’s a business lunch, a date night, or a family dinner, Jackson’s delivers. A broad menu, strong service, and lively atmosphere keep it at the center of Reston dining. BCI: 86 reflects weighted and normalized ratings across multiple platforms, showing that Jackson’s consistently delivers strong experiences. The Brodbeck Confidence Index (BCI) is a proprietary algorithm that blends multi-platform ratings into a single, normalized score to give diners a clearer picture of overall consensus.“

“I've been going to the Silver Diner in Reston for over 15 years. Food is always good, new items added to menu seasonally, staff are real folks who are easy to talk with and joke with as well. You get a sense of "family" when you are there as staff and customers interact. Servers are fun people and make your day. Today was Rubia's day and she is special. Come out and see for yourself.“

“I stopped by Taste of Istanbul this afternoon for the first time. For the most part it was really good. I ordered a potato pide, 2 doner kebab, mixed meze, and pistachio baklava. Everything was delicious except for the”baklava”, which turned out to be two greasy dough cylinders. No phyllo, no honey, no pistachio filling. I was disappointed that I wasted $7.00 for inedible dough I ended up throwing in the garbage. Get the kebabs, stay away from their version of baklava.“

“Excellent food! It was fun cooking it myself.“

“Huge shoutout to Tyreke and Maya at the DC Wharf location. Both of them recommended the glazed pork belly taco and bowl. Let me just say they deserve a promotion! The pork belly was the best tasting food I’ve ever had. Holy cow thank you both of you for that recommendation. Also, an additional shoutout to Tyreke for the churro selection for us off the dessert menu. I mean this has been the best meal we have had since being in DC! Thanks again for the recommendations and hope to see you in Indiana when you open one in our town 👊🏻👊🏻“

“I have eaten here dozens of times including my birthday this year. The food and service have consistently been incredible! My family loves the atmosphere and friendly staff, and even my kiddos ask to stop by for shrimp pops. Definitely recommend Ariake!“

“I love the tapas. They have great Spanish menus and some vegan choices too! Must try: cauliflower and eggplant, and beets for vegans. Spanish: flan is so good, patatas bravas, salmon with kale, Espanola torta, beef empanada.“

“First time seeing this place, but I knew what I wanted immediately. Loaded fresh birria tacos, the most satisfying in northern Virginia. Ask for hot sauce upgrades! I didn't dip these because they seem perfect as served. Get some tres leches to soothe the sizzle.“

“This is the classic RTC spot. A go-to for afterschool treats every year starting second grade. The cardamom flavor rocks… There’s almost no reason to go to RTC anymore post-covid and paid parking, but Pitango has stuck around, outlasting Red Velvet, Busara, Big Bowl, Mon Ami Gabi, and even Clyde’s… once it closes I may never return. It’s criminal what Boston Properties has done to Reston Town Center, which for me was more than the center of Reston, it was the center of the world, nay, the universe. Even Pitango’s long-time neighbor The Counter has disappeared. I fear RTC’s Pitango may not be long for this world, would like to return sometime soon. Vintage photos attached“

“excellent“

“Great place to celebrate your milestones .“

“My fiancé and I tried this place last night and we 10/10 recommended! Great staff & service. Food was amazing! We recommend the crab dip and pizza! Will come back again“

““MyHome” is located in a quiet part of Reston with plenty of parking. It takes many visits to fully explore the menu, so start with your Thai favorites and go from there. Friendly staff. So glad to have this gem in the neighborhood, though it’s close to the toll road so easy to get to from further away.“

“I just finished an absolutely fantastic meal with my family and felt compelled to share our experience. This restaurant is a true hidden gem, delivering phenomenal food that caters to diverse tastes.
We started with the falafel, and they were perfect—crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful inside, easily some of the best I've had. The beef shawarma was equally impressive; the meat was tender, perfectly spiced, and served with delicious accompaniments.
What really surprised us, in the best way possible, was the Philly cheesesteak. It was authentic, loaded with thinly sliced beef, melted cheese, and fresh ingredients. It might sound like an unusual item for the menu, but they absolutely nailed it!
The staff were welcoming, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere was great for a family dinner. Whether you're craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine or a classic American sandwich done right, this place delivers on all fronts. We will definitely be back!“

“So delicious! I am on the road most of the time as a real estate agent and always try to find new spots to eat at. The food is so flavorful, the staff is awesome, and I will be back next time I am selling homes in the area!“

“Best cappuccino around! Perfect for business meetings“

“I'd been craving takoyaki for days, and suddenly decided to drive over late at night. Surprisingly, even though it was close to closing time, they still served me. The waitress, Emily, recommended some dishes, and we ordered them right away. She wasn't just beautiful and kind-hearted, she was practically a buddy! Apparently, she's only there on Fridays and weekends. There were only her and one other guy working at the front; everyone else was chatting. Everything was great, and she even recommended two drinks – such good value! She was so friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a worthwhile trip, and I'll definitely come back!“

“We have brownie with fudge & chocolate caramel both tastes great 👍 would like to go back again 🤪“

“Ate most of my ice cream before I remembered to take a photo because this is so wonderful. Stopped in from out of town with some friends. Art was so friendly and offered ice cream and sorbets free of allergens, dyes, and made with real, whole ingredients. I ordered a single scoop of Mango Sticky Rice ice cream (yeah, really... Yum) in a house made waffle cone. The first impression walking in was the warm smell of waffle cones. They're offered at a very fair price! My cone didn't leak at all because it was well folded at the tip.
Art worked quickly to get through our large party. Also, the bathrooms are very clean! Only customers are allowed to utilize this service. Overall very happy with this shop. Jubilee ice cream is a must stop for anybody, tourists and locals alike.“

“ Big Buns in Arlington, VA is where it's at! The place has this cool vibe going on – you walk in, and you just know you're in for a good time. The food? Man, they've got all kinds of stuff on the menu. Burgers that'll make your mouth water, and they even have this insane Unicorn shake for dessert – it's like something out of a dream. And don't even get me started on the drinks. They've got some seriously killer cocktails that'll knock your socks off. Oh, and did I mention the location? It's smack dab in the middle of Arlington, so it's super easy to get to. And the service? A+. The staff is friendly, and fast. So yeah, if you're in the mood for some good eats and a chill vibe, you gotta hit up Big Buns. Trust me, you won't regret it“

“Great food and service. Definitely worth your time and money“

“Restaurant for the family. Nice environment!!!!“

“We loved our experience. Came for dinner with my husband and ordered several dishes. The chicken platter appetizer came out sizzling and delicious. We also enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian (sweet and spicy cauliflower appetizer). The Natu Kodi and Shrimp Curry entrees were both spicy oily and tomato-based with the perfect amount of seasoning… very rich in flavor. Enjoyed both of those dishes. My favorite entree was the paneer butter masala. Amazing sauce - similar to butter chicken sauce. I was eating the sauce with everything!! Also had an amazing Chicken Dum Biryani where the chicken was on the bottom of the rice. The garlic naan was phenomenal. Got to meet their chef Krishna who was super nice and explained some of the dishes to us. We were pleased with our meal and will be back to try out their buffet next!“

“Excellent service!!! I recommended 😊“

“First time here, staff all greeted me and were very friendly. The restaurant was very clean but I will say the music was pretty loud. I got the noodles with the sesame garlic sauce and I wasn’t expecting too much but wow. I really enjoyed it. It was $12 with chicken and I will have plenty leftover for tomorrow’s lunch. I will be back.“

“I will say I walked in and it was like I was greeted like a part of the establishment, I’ve never been here before and asked the staff respectful what do we do! Joyfully “David” and “Sullay” guided me through the whole experience! Such great staff and great food! 5⭐️ All the way!! Check it out staff is great! “ key to all (help with a tip jar!”“

“Bento House is one of our favorite fast casual neighborhood restaurants. Tasty food, easy parking, and great service every time we visit. Luis took great care of us tonight! We’ve frequented both the Reston and Chantilly locations for years.“

“Great food, great service, very clean. I found my new favorite place in Reston.“

“We had a nice evening! Thank you!“

“I wanted to say that I have been several times over the years. Although things are a little pricey they are always well done and delicious. In addition, I wanted to give a special shout out to Nicki who is a ray of sunshine and always goes the extra mile to ensure that customers are taken care of. To finish, the lavender lattes are a particular favorite of mine and the tempura crab cakes I had most recently were really divine. 4.75 stars“

“I recommend this place for it's food choices, alternative non-alcohol yummy adult type drinks, awesome chefs and food service staff (everyone here was super nice and totally hospitable, especially Chris at the bar where I sat to eat), and last bit not least -the cleanliness and open design hides nothing. You can see the kitchen prep and the ambiance is lovely... bright and clean with clean HVAC! I love this place. My dinner was delicious and the black tea had lavender... delightful!“

“Awesome Place and Environment!! Great Staff, Service and Really Good Food 🔥 Highly Recommend 🥵💰“

“Food and service are both great“

“I have been coming here for years. The Food is always top notch and the customer service is even more amazing! One day I came out to the restaurant and my tire was donezo. The owner came out and changed my tire for me! Reston kabob proves there is still hospitality out there!“

“Absolutely Outstanding!

Chick-fil-A never disappoints. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine smiles and top-notch customer service. The staff is consistently courteous and professional—seriously, where do they find these people?

The food? Always hot, fresh, and delicious. Their original chicken sandwich is a classic for a reason—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned. The waffle fries are golden perfection, and their sauces (especially the Chick-fil-A Sauce and Polynesian) take everything to the next level.

Clean environment, quick service even during peak hours, and a consistent quality that’s hard to find at other fast food places. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Chick-fil-A is always a win. Highly recommend!“

“I got chips and hummus, bowl with chicken shawarma, white rice tzat dip, spicy cilantro,turk sal, leb tab, red cabb slaw,tomatoes and caesar sauce. I must hands down the best Mediterranean food ive had in awhile. I don't live here just passin through. And if i return I will eat here again. The chips have amazing flavor and that hummus is freakin delicious as well. Usually most are bland their is not.“

“good food and service. first time here. I plan on coming back again.“
