1. Brookside Diner and Restaurant

This old-fashioned diner boasts a large menu of American comfort food with plenty of veggie options. They provide a relaxing dining area with friendly service and prices. Locals love the saute specials, which are prepared to order and come with a cup of homemade soup or a tossed salad. Then try the pasta primavera or the cavatelli and broccoli.

This eatery features southern and northern Indian specialties with tons of options. You’ll love the variety of veggie soups and appetizers. Start with rasam or sweet corn veggie soup, and order a plate of the medhu vadai or the onion pakoda for the table. The house specials are favorites. We recommend the veggie kothu parotta, which is a hand-tossed crispy thin flatbread with kurma and raitha, or the chole bhature, a fluffy deep-fried bread served with Punjabi spicy chickpea masala.

3. Penang Malaysian and Thai Cuisine

Penang serves a variety of Thai, Chinese, and Indian foods with superb flavors and plenty of vegetarian options. We recommend the kari sayur, a mixed vegetable dish with fried tofu and spicy curry broth, the mango tofu in a sweet and spicy sauce, or the Malaysian Buddhist delight with mixed vegetables, bean curd, and Chinese mushrooms in the chef’s special sauce or light garlic sauce. You’re likely to have leftovers as their servings are on the generous side.

Treat your party to a lovely Moroccan dinner, complete with belly dancers, music, and magnificent architecture and paintings that highlight Moroccan history. The Moroccan-born chefs take pride in giving you the best of the best when it comes to their cuisine. You’ll be served several courses, starting with salad and appetizers and moving on to the main entree and dessert. Vegetarian options include dolma, falafel platter, veggie tagine, and crispy phyllo Bastilla, to name a few.

This family-run restaurant presents a modern twist on both veggie and vegan Asian cuisine. All of their “meat” and “seafood” dishes are made with soybean protein, mushrooms, or wheat gluten. Start with the drum sticks or scallion pancakes and move on to the veggie chicken burger deluxe, the eggplant delight, or pineapple veggie chicken for a meal.
