50 Best Vegan Restaurants near East Palo Alto

“Step into the world of authentic Mexican cuisine at this taqueria housed in a charming everyday home! The ambiance is unique as you transition from the doorstep into taqueria heaven. There are tables inside and out so feel free to make yourself at home. What sets this place apart is its extensive menu featuring a variety of Mexican dishes, some not commonly found in traditional taco spots. Every order comes with complimentary chips and dip, featuring a spicy salsa that adds a little fire. Plates are brought directly to your table by the hardworking fam in the back. I ordered 5 tacos, a mix of carne asada, al pastor, and shrimp. The tacos were good, above average for sure. I was a little disappointed my al pastor didn't have pineapple but their flavorful sauce makes up for that. The shrimp was also tasty. Currently this place is a STRONG 4 stars in my book and I look forward to exploring the rest of their menu. La Cazuela charms with its authenticity, and it's evident why it's a local community favorite. Grateful to have discovered this gem in EPA.“

“I'm going to keep it short and simple I ordered lingua tacos at 3:25 each and they were tasty I like them. Price wasn't too bad as compared to the Nationwide increase in food prices. But more important I like the staff they were very friendly and to me that's like the most important thing. I went there about 15 minutes before they closed and they were very welcoming and friendly and I will definitely be back and try one of their burritos thank you.“

“Romantic dining with great customer service“

“Everything the we ate was delicious. The orders came out promptly and the service was top notch. There was never a moment that we didn't know what was happening with our meal prep. This experience made my birthday celebration extra special.“

“We have been coming to Ettan for the last 2 years and they never disappoint. Delicious food and excellent service. And deserts is a special something! Will be back again!“

“We are addicted to this place. The food is fresh, at a reasonable price and gets served fast. The staff is super polite. The side dishes (sauces and tea) are tasty too.Kid-friendliness: While there’s a sort of unspoken rule about getting at a minimum amount of 1 lb, they aren’t strict with kids portions.“

“I’ve been going to Sundance since 1986. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great people.“

“A fantastic endearing Ice-cream tasting & eating experience that causes you to marvel at the stature that Ice-cream making has come to acquire can indeed be felt on the palate with every Icecream flavor at PINTS OF JOY. The service with Smiles & Excitement & warmth of the Servers caught my attention. It made the experience all the more endearing. I tried many & loved the Jalebi with Malai Kulfi Ice-cream. A remarkable unique Indian Ice-cream. As an Indian American I feel immensely proud to see the popularity this Ice-cream has come to acquire in the heart of Silicon Valley! This Ice-cream venture is showcasing India Impressively internationally: tickling the taste buds!“

“Great experience! Food was fresh, served quickly and delicious. Loved the customer service! Will definitely be coming back! Wishing you guys the best!“

“We live around Palo Alto and come here often. The food is very authentic and the staff confirmed that it is Halal. The food quality is great and the service is awesome. Our favorite dish here is the malai kofta but other items are great too. For example we have tried the daal once and it was really well seasoned.Dietary restrictions: Halal“

“Absolutely exquisite food that comes out fresh. Service was amazing & the people even though busy were very very helpful. Can't recommend this place & food enough.“

“Delicious food but maybe not worth the price. Our appetizers came super fast but the main course took a long time and we ordered the seared halibut which isn't a dish that should take a long time. The fried flowered cauliflower was amazing, great acidity in the sauce. The kanpachi was also incredibly delicious, again amazing because of a wonderfully acidic sauce. The halibut was cooked perfectly, the peas were so fresh and felt like popping boba, and the sauce was acidic again. I'm a huge fan of the acidic sauces and did not get tired of it, but that's something to be wary of if you're not a fan.“

“Excellent service. Great tasting food. It was my first time here and I loved it. Will be my go-to restaurant now moving forward. Shout out to our server Ernesto and the hostess (I forgot to ask her name, duh! ☺️) and also to the guy who suggested giving me the best Moscato I have ever had.“

“Good food and service overall but a few hiccups for our dinner there: only an outdoor table available (but after asking if any table would become available we got one indoor in 5 min), good-but-loud live music, and no heads up what what we ordered wasn't available anymore.“

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.“

“This is hands down the best vegetarian Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. The summer rolls were fresh and delicious. I also had the vegan duck soup which had a great broth. It’s owned by a sweet family. Support locally owned businesses and come!“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“Great friendly service. I ordered a patty melt last night for takeout and found out it was an Italian job instead because it was meatless with mushrooms instead. I came back the next day and they made me a new patty melt after I showed them a picture of what I got. This place is great for a late night snack and they open late!“

“This was my first time here an won't be the last. Been seeing this place on IG for the longest brought my girlfriend here an enjoy everything. The food came out really quick even the milkshake. Great customer service, the lady at the front Andria was very helpful an Patient with us ordering an helped us pick.“

“Authentic freshly prepared North Indian fare. Fresh high quality Sharbathi Aata rotis, piping hot vegan kofta curry, bhel puri with strawberries and paneer paratha with creamy curd! What more does one need. The owner is a botanist and his wife a doctor. The meals are prepared right then and there and the owner is really sweet and treats you like you are his child. It's endearing!“

“Wow! I came here several years ago and was disappointed, but they have really turned it around. Our palak aloo and paneer tikka thali were flawless and perfectly spiced. The naan was perfect and the samosas were exquisite. Can't wait to come back here!“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“Incredible. The Wagyu beef was a transformative experience. Every time going forward I’m in N California-this is an incredible restaurant“

“First off, service was super friendly! Everyone was smiley and very helpful, which I loved. I’ve been to a couple of locations, and this is definitely my favorite by far! The greenery and decoration was very aesthetically pleasing ?The signature coconut pudding was delicious and a much needed treat on such a hot day. It also comes with coconut flakes!! Definitely stop by for a refreshing treat!They also have a deal where if you bring back 10 glass jars, you get a free pudding.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Great lunch choices. Healthy and unique. Desserts are the perfect combination for your coffee or latte. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Location is easy for access with designated parking. Will repeat for sure.“

“Best vegan food in Palo Alto. I eat here as often as I can. FYI, it's cash only for smaller orders. Very highly recommended.“

“fast-casual halal snacks/ meals of fresh veggies or meats, styled with photo-ready flair, every mouthful a new delight served by friendly staff clearly wishing you peace and joy“

“I had the linguine with clams, which was delicious! My husband had the special branzino which was also excellent. We shared the Rosa Di Mela (hot apple tart with vanilla gelato), which disappeared in an instant! We had a lovely server, who was so helpful and knowledgeable. All of that was wonderful and we'll certainly be coming back for the food & service. The only negative, is that sitting outside, you are right on the sidewalk by a road. If they could perhaps put up a bit of a screen or trellis, or maybe just some nice pots of flowers & plants, it would make the entire experience tremendous!“

“House ramen: broth was mild but in a super refreshing waySpicy miso: broth rich in flavor and sweetNoodles were firm, almost “al dente”. It was something we’ve never had before and so delicious!Staff was friendly and welcoming, atmosphere was great as expected of all Japanese ramen joints.“

“Elevated beer and pizza, and pinball to boot. Owners and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Their pizza menu is solid, and they’re good with swapping out ingredients for vegans, etc.“

“The pizza was overall pretty good - got the margarita pizza, however for the price preferred the pie to be slightly bigger. The crust was great and tasty, and the menu had many vegetarian and even vegan options. Ordered their bread pudding - would definitely not recommend, the bread was very dense and dry. Otherwise pretty good food!“

“Such a wonderful welcome by Michelle! The menu selection did not disappoint. Staff was super attentive & the cuisine options were quite delicious. Highly recommend!“

“I have been to this place only a handful of times. Each time the food quality and service never ceases to amaze me. The food is spectacularly delicious. The service is quick. Don' t let that deter you in thinking the food quality must lack. On the contrary, they use fresh ingredients and the fact that they are so busy they food turn over is great. you know you are getting fresh cooked food. Hands down the best pakistani/indian restaurant in the bay area. I recommend the halwa puri thali on the weekends and the spinach gosht on the weekdays with garlic naan.“

“Friendly people and good food.“

“Amazing food highly recommend“

“friendly staff, monstrous upon great broth“

“Service is always quick and very friendly. Hadnt been here in AGES. Literally. Had the steak and eggs and asked for medium rare & overeasy eggs& potatoes . The steak in my picture looks a bit charred but once you cut into it, it was definitely medium rare so i was happy. Eggs were runny. Could not ask for more. Their portions are on the larger side. OH! OH! and their mimosas are worth it too.“

“Overall an enjoyable Ramen experience. The ramen joint is no-frills with a few types of ramen offerings and add-ons such as Chicken Karage and Gyoza. Their red king ramen has a great balance of spice, garlic, and umami flavours in the broth - of course, you can adjust many aspects of your dish based on your liking. The only con is that they always have long lines, and there is no waiting system so you have to stand in front of the shop, rain or shine. However, lines do move fast enough that it feels worth the wait.“

“This place is pretty delicious, if you can find it haha.This particular location of CRUST is kind of tucked away in the bottom floor of a group of nondescript office buildings. It's definitely not something you notice right away from the street. Me and some coworkers nearly drove right by.All that aside, the sandwiches here were very much worth the drive and effort to find. I will say though... the chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie was the star of the show. It was so soft and delicious. Make sure to pick one up if you stop by. You'll be glad you did.“

“This was our first experience at Flea Street. It was a fabulous dinner. Our table ordered the lamb, pork chop and the short ribs. All three were delicious. The portions were just right, the presentation was lovely, and the server was very attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“freshing and fresh as it had been juiced like 2 minutes before. Definitely recommend the juices or smoothies. I then got the beef shawarma pita with garlic dip and hummus. Both of my dips were jaw dropping. My favorite was the garlic dip which was overloaded with flavor and had an amazing consistency. They also provide 4 different dips for free so you should definitely try all of those because they are all unique. The beef shawarma pita itself was also pretty good, but it wasn't anything special. The meat wasn't flavorful enough, however there was a lot of it so no skimping. The pita was toasted and really good so definitely try some of their pita! The next thing I tried was their falafel which was BOMBB crispy on the outside with a soft and dense interior. It went so well with all of the dips. The service was also really cute and nice with our order coming out very fast and all workers being very kind. OVERALL I would definitely recommend Dish n Dash and I would come again. The food wasn't exorbitantly priced either!“

“We loved everything! The food was outstanding! Such great flavors and it looked beautiful when it was served too. Probably my favorite butter chicken I've ever had! The atmosphere was wonderful, the servers were so helpful and friendly. This is my favorite indian restaurant in the Bay Area!“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“I truly appreciate the authenticity of Chinese cuisine, and the exceptional culinary skills showcased. The special tea duck, in particular, captivates my taste buds with its exquisite flavor. Each bite is a delightful experience, making it a standout dish for me.“

“This has been my favorite restaurant since my husband first introduced me several years ago! Exquisite food and exceptional service, always! If you are in the Bay Area, make reservations; this is a popular spot and the demand is high! The Tamarine Prawns are amazing! As is the Clay Pot Cod! Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!“

“By far the best Mexican food you will ever eat. The menu is filled with dishes new to me yet also has some classics. This is true Mexico City fare at its best. The cocktails are creative and fresh with house made purées and syrups. I will be back many times!“
