50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near South Riding

“We originally stopped by here as it was on the way to our errands (versus another Manhattan Pizza). I started ordering a take-away order online, but ended up showing it to the staff, who then entered the order in her computer. There was another employee who was walking around and just started staring, which was a little strange.

The order was an XL cheese pizza, extra cut, light sauce and well done. It was just perfect. I wanted to keep eating more, but had to stop after four slices.

We came around lunch time so the place was full when we came. The staff walked around and cleaned the tables as customers left, which is always a plus.

There is plenty of parking shared by neighboring stores and restaurants.

Would I return? Probably.“

“Food is always hot, fast, and delicious! I always get the Singapore noodles not spicy without shrimp. (I have an allergy) and it is right everytime. They also have amazing miso soup and general Tsos. Pick this one.“

“We come at Social House on Mondays, and Keirstan is hands down one of the best bartenders we’ve had. She’s attentive, friendly, and always makes sure we’re well taken care of. Her positive attitude, constant smile, and easy conversation make every visit a great one.“

“Being from Buffalo it’s very hard to find good pizza here in the DMV area. They are as close to the real thing as it gets!“

“The food was really delicious very kind servers who will ensure you’re all good and go above and beyond super nice to talk to. Each booth has a tv which is really fun and nice for those who like to watch and each at the same time. The prices and deals are nice for those who are on a budget and want some yummy food and drinks I’m pretty sure there’s deals almost all weekend which is awesome I definitely reccomend if you’re in the area“

“It's a lovely restaurant. The setting and atmosphere are inviting. We tried their brunch prix fixe with lots of options to choose from. Tuna tartare tacos and ceviche are tasty. Fish is fresh. Empanadas and cholo benedicto are also good. My son really likes the sauce that comes with the empanadas. Buenazo is a good dessert to end the meal.“

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

“A friend and I meet at Theisman's restaurant for lunch quite often. I live in Alexandria and she lives in Warrenton so it's a great middle point. We both love the food and the hostesses and waitstaff are excellent. The atmosphere is nice.. the reason I gave it 4 stars is that the music in there was so loud. We decided to sit on the porch thinking it would be quieter and it was such a beautiful day... unfortunately the music was extremely loud out there too and seemed to increase in volume as we were out there for about 2 hours. I noticed a few other people were saying that it was so loud too. We should have said something to the hostess but we had not seen each other in awhile. Wonderful place, but people do want to be able to talk and hear each other. Hopefully, this will get to the right ears ?“

“absolutely EXCELLENT staff, great food with unique options and plenty of seating! I had the breakfast lasagna and I enjoyed every bite, wouldn't change a thing.“

“Hello everyone! My name is Syed Anwar Hussain, and I'm sharing my experience at the best restaurant in the DC area. Today I went to the Bangladesh Embassy, and after I finished my embassy work, I started searching for a good restaurant in that area. Luckily, GPS found the restaurant. We went with my wife and my son, and we ordered three dishes. First, we ordered two dishes. We tasted the first two dishes; they were very delicious. Then we ordered another one. All three dishes were delicious. I really enjoy the delicious food. I have no words to describe how delicious the food is. I highly recommend this place.“

“This place was a vegetarian delight! I had cauliflower tacos with salad a verde and sprouted grain tortillas and it was incredible. I loved the flavor of the cauliflower and chikpea filling plus the spicy salsa verde was killer. I also had the chill juice drink and it was super flavorful and tasty! Definitely git this place up and then grab some great organic snacks at MOMs“

“Superb authentic Indian food. The real taste of south Indian cuisines, well cooked and every item on the Buffet was tasty. The staff greet you with a smile and really take care of your choice of food and also give their suggestions to try other dishes too. They had mild, medium and high spicy foods displayed in the buffet. The atmosphere was very nice, clean and looked very hygienic. I would highly recommend this restaurant, a must try, if you like Indian food. I will certainly go there again. Thanks a million, Keep it up.“

“The sandwich I had was delicious! I love that they have so many vegetarian options and everything was incredibly flavorful. The owner was very friendly and helpful with any questions about the items on the menu. It’s a great take on Indian food and I can’t wait to go again to try a different item.“

“Wonderful little spot! Food was great, staff was so friendly and accommodating! I absolutely loved the happy atmosphere, you can certainly tell that everyone enjoys what they do and their customers! We will definitely be back when in the area!“

“Friendly, good food. Our waitress, Nicole, was outgoing and great!“

“First-time diners at the Clifton Outback. I haven’t had a bloomin’ onion and kookaburra wings in years, so I enjoyed them again. Service was great: efficient, friendly, warm, yet not intrusive. Eadonay even joined in singing the happy birthday song for me. Nothing beats fun chatter with loved ones while eating food that pleases the palate. We came for the steak and left happy. It was a good evening.“

“Carlos is the very best! He is a great server and took care of us. My daughter's birthday was awesome because of him! Kudos to this location which also takes GREAT care of its Beer Club members! We'll be back soon!“

“Monday $1 oysters on half shell; usually 3-4 east coast varieties. Both the fish and chips, and the shrimp tacos are my lunch go to options.“

“Was super bz on a Sunday and service was okay but our waitress wasn’t all that great.“

““Scaloppine di Vitello Porcini” — top notch. Friendly staff, good food, even the pre-dinner bread was warm, soft and delicious!“

“This is the best Ethiopian food (and some of the best food) I've ever had. It's fresh and flavorful, and all of the meat dishes we had were so tender. We tried several veggie and meat options and they were all outstanding. My husband and I love Ethiopian food, so we took our family members who were visiting from out of town and they said it was the highlight of their entire 3 week trip. Service was friendly and very helpful (we ended up just asking them bring whatever they wanted to serve us based on our allergies and aversions). The options were very authentic - from the apps, to the Ethiopian beer, honey wine, and coffee (which they even served it with rue). They also gave us a spicy pepper sauce (upon request for the hottest thing they had), and that was incredible. It is made in house (it's not berbere, mitmita, or awaze. I think it started with a "D", at least the English pronunciation). I would buy it by the jar if available! There was plenty of parking, and we went between a trip to the Udva-Hazy Air & Space and Great Falls. It was the perfect day.“

“We had the best meal at Silver Diner Innsbrook! And our server, Aliza, was the absolute best. We will definitely be back.“

“My guests loved the chicken 65! Great customer service!“

“OMG ? Halal Fresh Pizza, Fresh Dough, Fresh Toppings,Pasta, Vegan Items, veggie, Indian Style, Twisty Pockets, Mac n Cheese, Twisty Breadsticks, Salads, Fries, Wings Bone-in & Boneless Different Flavours Dry rub and Lot more“

“We had a fantastic meal at Chef Geoff's last night! The Mozzarella crispy, and cobb salad was absolutely phenomenal, perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients. Our server, Ghander, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making for a wonderful evening out. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Wonderful food, the trout was amazing and so was the shrimp and crab fritter appetizer. Our waiter Matthew was seriously the best and sweetest waiter I’ve ever had in my life. We are here for vacation but we will without a doubt come back here the next time we are in the area.“

“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.“

“Great place. Love the military representation in each franchise.“

“Great food. Great people. Close to home. Let’s go!“

“For several years, the pizzas from Great Falls Deli Italiano were wonderful. Then the problems started - always something unsatisfactory with every order. And the pizza toppings were extremely skimpy. So we stopped ordering from them. Yesterday we decided to give them another try. Glad we did - the Quattro Formaggi pizza and the big steak sub were both delicious. Of course, based on previous experiences with skimpy toppings, I paid for extra amounts of each of the cheeses on the pizza. Do not know what it would be like without paying for extra amounts of toppings.“

“Best Ramen and Rice Bowls in town!!!! They are alway so nice and the place is always clean. FYI, in keeping with a proper Ramen establishment, it is small with limited seating. If you have to wait, it is well worth the wait.“

“The best Mediterranean food I’ve ever eaten in my life!! The portions are so big and everything is homemade!“

“Great food and atmosphere. Very clean. Service was fast and friendly. Their PHO noodles are served perfectly, not too soft or mushy.. They were also happy to accommodate my daughter's food allergies so she could enjoy a meal with us. Great place.“

“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 had an amazing experience at Silver Diner thanks to our waiter, Badr. From the moment we sat down, he was quick, attentive, and genuinely on top of everything. He checked in at all the right times without ever feeling intrusive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

What really stood out was his personality — friendly, upbeat, and funny. He added little jokes and light conversation that made the meal feel even more enjoyable. You can tell he really enjoys his job and cares about giving great service.

Overall, Badr made our visit memorable. Silver Diner is lucky to have him. Highly recommend asking for Badr if you want top-tier service!“

“We have been twice now and loved everything we ordered. The food is fresh and homemade. The service was great too. We will definitely go back, especially for the stuffed pizza.“

“Está tan rica la comida en Sazón Latina. he ido dos veces en familia y ordenamos, lomo saltado, tacos, pescado frito, pupusas, pollo con camarones, chicharrón con yuca. La comida save tan rica y fresca. Cada platillo ha sido buenísimo. la atención que te dan también es exelente, te sientes bienvenido. Angie nos atendió hoy y fue tan amigable y profesional con nosotros. The food at Sazón Latina does not disappoint. my family and I have tried several different dishes and each one has been amazing. the food tastes incredible, and the ingredients are fresh and too quality. The service is wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. I'm amazed that the place wasn't packed both times I've been there, but if you're thinking about it, go try it and spread the word on this local business.“

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!“

“Excellent bbq and sandwiches everything is excellent always will come back here“

“LongHorn Steakhouse in Chantilly never disappoints! The steaks are always seasoned just right and cooked perfectly every time. The chicken wings with their signature seasoning are incredible, and the grilled shrimp and lobster tail are always spot on—tender, flavorful, and delicious. We’ve also tried the burger and the pork chop on past visits and both were excellent.

The restaurant is consistently clean and well-maintained, which adds to the great experience.

Service is another highlight. Sam, the bartender, is fantastic—she takes such great care of guests and even when it’s busy, she makes sure you never feel overlooked. She’s a real gem.

I’ve also noticed the managing partner on several occasions stepping in to help his staff, which says a lot about the culture here.

If you haven’t visited yet, it’s definitely worth a stop—you won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“Love the food and ambience was also amazing ❤️“

“I have lived in Chantilly for 30 years and you CANNOT find a rack of ribs better than Backyard Grill! The potato skins and beignets are wonderful as well!“

“Their chicken chilly momos are the best!! The vhatmas sadeko makes for a pleasant bit of accompanying crunch and spice. Get some Krispy Krunchy chicken to go, too, while you're at it 😋😋😋“

“Great music on a Friday night!“

“Amazing Sushi and Sashimi - Definitely a Must to Sooo... Fresh and Delicious. We will definitely be Back for more...“

“BEST KATSU my husband and I have had in the DMV area so far 😊!! We’re a little bit of a Katsu connoisseur since it’s one of our favorite food and this place ATE DOWNNN!! Food came so fast and the gentleman that was serving us this Wednesday evening was so polite and tentative although it was a full house, will definitely be back :)“
