41 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Des Plaines

“Quality food, cooked perfectly but a little on the salty side. Perfect for that guy who salts his food before tasting it. The lamb is amazing. So delicious! The wait staff is attentive but the restaurant in the casino could use a little more space between the seats. Kind of like an airport restaurant meets a movie theater?“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“Fantastic Catering ! Chicken, Stuffed Shells, meatballs, garlic rolls & salad! Seriously unbelievable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Family owned, the service can't be beat....except by the food! Nothing I have tried here has ever been less than phenomenal.Every time I come to Chicago, I make a point of eating here at least once. This year I will be making the trip with friends that have never been to Chicago. Giacomo's will be a definite stop on the trip.“

“Last week I was on my way to take my son for a haircut and decided to stop and eat here. It was my first time. Service was great and food delicious. I was not having a good day but tried my best to not show it. As I'm eating I saw a man come in. Eat by himself and then left. My surprise when I went to go pay. This man had paid for my food. Who ever it was Thank you so much if this is ever read. That was a beautiful gesture and completely made my day. I got my son his haircut and took him for some ice cream afterwards. I will definitely pay it forward“

“Everything we had was delicious and truly in hefty amounts, so much we left alot to discard unfortunately (we were flying so no way to package it up).. Waiters very pleasant and great at making suggestions.. If you like a strong flavorful drink, Try the dacquiri or mojito! Awesome!“

“Nice, very tiny place. Good beer. Seating is not the most comfortable, lots of backless bar stools and small tables. Within the location is a business where they press cremated ashes into diamonds. Fine. But then brewery stuff is stored in the dead people processing partitioned space. I don't get it.“

“Our 1st time here for lunch with our 2yr old granddaughter!! Let me tell you- we are so fortunate to meet the owners and enjoy their pizza. We will DEFINITELY be going back there!! The pizza was hot and fresh!! The slices ARE HUGE!!We're going back for sure!!“

“My neighborhood meeting place. Great food, drinks, people, and atmosphere“

“Don't be fooled by the somewhat unassuming outside, this restaurant has some of the most deliciously authentic Latin food one can find in the suburbs. I ordered chicken, bean/cheese pupusas with a side of yucca con chicharron and it was definitely worth the wait. HIGHLY recommend.“

“First time diner. Very good food. Will go again.“

“Lisa was great! She was taking all of the orders AND cooking all of the food too! The food was amazing and she even brought out some special bbq skewers that she made! Our first time there she made it so good, and we can’t wait to come eat there again! Thank you for great day!“

“A very unexpected gem we found right in downtown Des Plaines! Honestly was not expecting much as we live in Downtown Chicago, but this place was surprisingly delicious. The bulgogi was a hit with the kids.. just mixed a little of the broth with the veggies and meat in rice and the kids just ate it up! We ordered both rolls and nigiri and they were fresh.. not overly seasoned or sweet like so many other establishments. The hamachi is definitely top grade. The service was very attentive and the quality of the food impressed.. We will definitely be back!“

“Was recommended by our hotel in the same lot to grab dinner here. Flight was delayed. Older diner and we came a hour to closing. Had the late night menu. Server helping us was very busy but friendly, she recommended the burger and fries. I got the cheeseburger and fries and my husband got a stack of pancakes.Fluffy pancakes and surprisingly delicious! Cheeseburger hit the spot, fresh slice of tomato and crisp lettuce (not know to happen at a dinner)I didn’t get to grab my meal vouncher from Airline customer service but they do accept them here.Recommend this spot for travelers and locals!“

“best thin crust pizza any where.big complaint.ordered potato skins.would never do that again.very little bacon on them and no chopped green onion.if you can't do it right don't do it at all“

“Great food , i had the quesabirria and it was really good i enjoyed it , great food quick“

“The best restaurant in the Des Plaines area close to many suburbs. Their food is great my kids love their nihari and I love their chicken boti and butter chicken and paya with their garlic naan. From their breakfast menu is my favorite halwa puri and their parathas. I have tried this restaurant from breakfast to lunch and dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“Great place for friends and family to grab a meal or to just hang out in the bar area and watch the game. Food is great to i suggest checking out the seasonal menu that they rotate about every three months.“

“Great experience for children. The restaurant is small with limited seating, but the food comes quick and diners are mindful of the line so they don't stay long. It's hard to describe how nice it was for the kids to be entertained just long enough to finish their meals and then be ready to leave at the same time as the adults. Highly recommend trying this if you are in the area with smaller kids.“

“The special was wonderful!“

“Great food. Entertaining show. Fun for entire family“

“Best, authentic Chinese food around!“

“Delicious food, refreshing drinks & great service. I don’t get here too often, but whenever I’m in the area I love to support this family-owned business.“

“I moved up north a month ago and needed a new pizza spot. This is place is the definition of fire. The customer service is fantastic, the girls running the front are amazing and make sure the customer is taken care of. The pizza is so fire and i also had the wings and mozzarella sticks which were good as well. If you need a pizza joint this is it 100%.“

“I decided to try this place after reading a few reviews. My wife tried the tamales oaxaqueños and liked them so much we ended up buying 5 more to go. She also ordered the enchiladas de mole and they were good but a little spicy. I had the green chilaquiles with meat and they were great but too spicy. I made an effort and ate like more than half. Highly recommended. The place doesn't look like much and is small but the food is what you came for so get in and get some. Sorry, but I forgot to take pictures, but the portions are generous.“

“This was our 1st time at Harry Caray's Rosemont for lunch. Nice ambience, very good food and excellent service. Kudos to server Maria for her fine service. She is very nice, efficient and offered excellent suggestions. There’s also a nice outdoor area with umbrellas that will be nice in warmer weather. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant! ?“

“Always excellent, always delivered no problems whether its the yummy chicken or a stuffed pizza. Keep up the good work!“

“This restaurant is one of the best Filipino restaurants in the northern suburb of chicago. The food is always fresh and authentic. Only, the restaurant is soooo small. You feel like the staff is on top of you - staring at you. We mostly do take-out from this restaurant, but even with take-out, food is always good.“

“I love the food and soda selection“

“We always order to go from here. The servers are nice. We love their pho and of course their bahn mi. I toast the bahn mi and hmmm so good. Its just smaller niw but full of meat inside. I havent ordered anything else but those are my 2 fave. The place is typical resto, nice but nothing flashy. Street parking only but there is a nearby public parking.“

“I moved into the area 8 months ago and have ate at 5-6 Chinese places that weren't good at all. Ordered from O&C tonight and it was fantastic!! Next level, egg foo Yung was great, fried rice was fluffy and not saturated w soy. Jumbo shrimp was tasty..I'm already thinkin about what I'm gonna order next ?“
