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.“

“Great brunch spot with high-quality food and quick service. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The seafood scramble was outstanding, and the French toast and pancakes were delicious. Excellent value for money—highly recommended!“

“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!“

“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.“

“First time at Velocity Wings and they had really great food and a fun atmosphere, but what truly makes an experience memorable is the service and our server Tyler absolutely nailed it. From the moment we walked in greeting me and my wife to taking us to sit down, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure we had a great time. He anticipated our needs, kept everything running smoothly, and brought such a positive energy to the table. My wife has horrible allergies to a lot of food which can often go left even after letting severs know, but Tyler made sure she was good to go on everything. You can tell he truly cares about his guests and takes pride in what he does. Great food and atmosphere will bring you in, but servers like Tyler are the reason you keep coming back. Ask for him! You won’t be disappointed!“

“We took advantage of the valentines prix fixed menu & it did not disappoint. Service could be better, we have to ask to have soda refills, and the waitress forgot that we wanted the extra $10 sour drink. It worked out in the end because we were stuffed. Quality food overall.“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“Amazing food, staff and atmosphere!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“This is for the Silver Diner in Chantilly,VA. We live a little over 2 hours away but stopped here for dinner after car shopping and we were not disappointed! My husband and son both had milkshakes and burgers and I got the meatloaf. Classic diner menu but really elevated and creative. Everything was delicious, loved the decor, service was friendly and bathrooms were clean.“

“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.“

“Tried the tortas and they were a bit lacking in meat, the places in manassas fill them up more. Nonetheless, it does have good flavor and the spicy sauce is bussin. Got a tamal as well but fell it was reheated in the microwave, the corners crusted, but they are flavorful. Haven’t tried the tacos yet, so will come back for them.“

“FANTASTIC food and service. They treated us like family minus having to to the dishes. Cannot wait to go back!!“

“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.“

“Ghandar was my server. He was very helpful and attentive. He has a good energy and very kind!! I had the candied bacon cobb salad and it was very good. I also had the cookies and ice cream desert and the cookies were fresh and warm and the ice cream was very smooth and delicious!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“love the food, great staff always making sure everything is good. our favorite pizza place. Come for food, leave as a friend 🧡“

“Excellent Sushi, fantastic sashimi!“

“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!“

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

“Longhorn is one of those places I've always had good experiences except for one mediocre one in Maryland. Tonight food was excellent, inside was very clean, love the decor as I am a Texan and Longhorn grad (well MBA), and service was very good. Great location, spoke to Manager briefly on the way in, could tell he was on top of things. Told the one older server and cute hostess on my way out that they should really add some steak sauces. Forget the BS of having your own sauce, get some standard ones from Sysco and give him some options for maybe a small upcharge. Really impressed with the quality of their filets for the price. As someone who has done a lot of food deals and ran a food plant for one of the top CPGs, I am usually pretty critical on steak quality. But for their prices I have made respect, and they do a really consistent job in cooking them. Great job guys. An old boss was SVP for Fish procurement at Darden, they do a great job!“

“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 😋😋😋“

“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!“

“This time we went with family members. We tried different varieties. We all enjoyed revert items ordered. Food was delicious , fresh, and tasty. The service was even better. Our server Rakesh was very pleasant, helpful. Made us feel like we are at home. Iwe will go back with more family members. I recommend this place to everyone who enjoy vegetarian meals.“

“Incredible experience from the second you walk in to the moment you leave. The menu is expansive and filled with a huge variety of seafood options. The taste and flavors are exquisite. And the service is very pampering.“

“Great music on a Friday night!“
