50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Derby

“From the moment you step inside, the ambiance exudes warmth and hospitality. As a patron, I recently had the pleasure of experiencing their culinary offerings, and it was nothing short of exceptional.To begin, I opted for a refreshing draft beer paired with their Parmesan garlic butter wings—an appetizer that set the tone for the evening. The wings were perfectly crispy on the outside, while the buttery garlic Parmesan sauce elevated them to a realm of indulgence.Moving on to the main course, my dining companion and I decided to explore the diverse menu offerings. While the beef steak was cooked to perfection, it was the Avocado Gorgonzola Bacon Burger that stole the show. Bursting with flavor and creativity, each bite was a symphony of tastes and textures. The combination of creamy avocado, tangy Gorgonzola, and crispy bacon nestled between two fluffy buns was simply sublime.Accompanying our mains were sides of waffle fries and a house salad. The waffle fries were addictively crunchy, while the house salad provided a refreshing contrast to the richness of the burger.Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was met promptly and courteously. The ambiance, combined with the delectable cuisine and stellar service, made for an unforgettable dining experience.In conclusion, Dew Drop Inn is a culinary oasis that excels in every aspect. Whether you’re seeking a casual dining experience or a memorable culinary adventure, this establishment delivers on all fronts. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to indulge in top-notch cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere.“

“In my opinion, the best pizza anywhere. I love it.“

“The Pho at Phoenix is outstanding! The broth is so flavorful, the various appetizer rolls are so fresh and delicious, too. one of my friends loves their Bahn Mi, but I'm so hooked on the Pho I haven't made myself try it yet LOL. The owners and staff are always so warm and accommodating, too.“

“BADSONS is an awesome venue for a wedding! One of my couples booked me for their celebration at the brewery and it was a great time. The private event space is separate from the tap room (but still part of the same building and property), which is really nice.As a wedding photographer, one of my other favorite parts was getting outside. The brewery staff were very accommodating, helping us and guiding us around so that we were safe. You can also book a food truck to come and cater your event. Oh, and the beer is great, too.I highly recommend BADSONS if you're a beer lover and are looking for your wedding venue. Give it a look!“

“Really nice place. Big outdoor area with 4 separate fire pit spots and a lot of picnic tables. The inside is just as big with two fireplaces. My only issue with the place is they do not let you try a beer before buying it. I'm not sure if that is the policy or the beertender just didn't want to bother letting us (wife and I) try any. We probably would have stayed longer if we were able to try some beers I never had before. They also have a full bar area.“

“Great food and their portions are huge!“

“My favorite place for pizza“

“Awesome falafel, great French fries w/ amazing seasoning. Grandma said the home made lemonade was perfect.“

“Good food. Great service.“

“This has always been one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the area for over 30 years. The food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. Please note that $100 lunch was for 2 people. We had a nice bottle of chianti, appetizers, 2nd person had a dinner portion and I had a luncheon special and dessert. Great value for all we had eaten which also included our tip.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants when visitng the University of New Haven ! Great food and great service !“

“The best friendly service with a smile and best pizza around ???❤“

“We were so surprised and happy to find The Bangkok Room Restaurant in Milford. This was honestly the best Thai food we have ever had and I'm including Thai food we have had in Manhattan! We had the Drunken Noodle and it was wonderful, but our soup and appetizers were equally as good...Everything was fresh and delicious and we can't wait to go back!“

“Best vegan food in the state of Connecticut!! Go to Shandal’s, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Nice food, workers friendly“

“Great restaurant!Staff was incredibly friendly, our main dishes were out in less than 10 minutes and the complimentary food was out the second we ordered. The food itself was incredible! I didn't know authentic Korean food like this could be found here.Will definitely visit again!“

“Their organic butternut squash is incredible. Amazing menu, excellent with any food allergy you can think of (dairy, nuts, fish, grain, soy, eggs...), where the food is actually delicious no matter what your restriction is. Normally buckwheat pancakes taste a little gritty, but not these! These (vegan! GF!) ones are fluffy and beautiful and taste right like your childhood. Even the free refill coffee is excellent. We tend to spend quite a bit when we come because their cocktail menu is too good.This place is making me consider moving to West Haven just so I can eat there all the time.Vegetarian options: Incredible vegan breakfast and vegan lunch menus!Dietary restrictions: Incredible selection of gluten free baked goods (the sandwich bread is delicious!)“

“I grew up in Connecticut so I've eaten at many great seafood places but the Lazy Lobster has the best lobster roll I've had in years with a very generous portion of lobster. The buttered baguettes are to die for and I will be going back to try the ribs. This is a small place, be prepared for a casual atmosphere or to take your food home but wherever you eat it, know you will thoroughly enjoy it!“

“My husband surprised me with a dinner gathering at Red Lotus. Immediately upon walking in we were greeted by two staff members and the owner Larry. Gary was our server who I must say was by far the best server we have ever had. Gary and Larry truly made us feel like we were the only ones there (they had a full house) the food was delicious we were a party of 8 and all had different plates none of us were disappointed with our food. The presentation of the plates were beautiful! Larry made sure to come to our table and assure we were satisfied with our food and service took time out to talk with us and build a relationship. Thank you Red Lotus from an amazing experience and phenomenal customer service.“

“My husband and I recently celebrated his birthday at Ola Kitchen and from the moment we stepped through the door, we were captivated by the warm ambiance and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, ensuring that every detail of our evening was flawless.As we perused the menu, we were delighted by the diverse selection of dishes, each crafted with precision and creativity.The presentation of each dish was nothing short of artistic, with vibrant colors and intricate plating that showcased the chef's mastery of culinary technique. And to complement our meal, my husband’s margarita and my sangria were delicious.But perhaps the highlight of the evening was the dessert- pineapple tres leches cake that arrived at our table with a flourish. Rich, and indulgent, it was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.Overall, our experience at Ola Kitchen surpassed all expectations, leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime. From the impeccable service to the exquisite cuisine, every aspect of our evening was truly exceptional and the ideal setting to celebrate this special occasion.“

They were on top of the service. I wish them both well and thank them for exemplary service. Thank you!Parking: Super easy parking with ample spaces.“

“Had a party for My Aunt’s Carole 85th birthday party, John and the other guy provided us with great service along with the owner Linda with great flexibility with what we needed.

“I dined at Rawa one time but I recomme the lamb chops, pita, spicy chicken wings, chicken breast on a bed of lentils.“

“Had the chicken kabobs over rice...so delicious! Baklava for dessert...best ever!“

“Potentially the best beer in the world. I’ve loved NEBCO for years but have never made it out here. Great little spot to sit and relax too. All the beertenders were amazing but Heather went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We live across the state but we will be coming back whenever able. The beer is TOP notch but the folks pouring it make you want to come back.“

“The best, delicious entrees. Wide variety of delicious appetizers and salads. Everything is cooked to order and can be personalized. Delicious cocktails with Melissa. Perfect dining experience with Arturo and Michael in the dining room. 10+. Our favorite Friday night spot, where we are family.“

“We had an outstanding soup to nuts dinner tonite on the deck. The food & service were outstanding. Family run& treated us like family. Fresh fish & everything made to our liking. Chef came out to personalize our needs. Not your ordinary diner! This was quality food & preparation. Can’t wait to come back!“

“We’ve been going here for about 4 years and are never disappointed. My husband and I love their Spanish options (best huevos rancheros I’ve been able to find outside of New York), but they also have eggs, pancakes, and other “classic” items. And this is just their breakfast menu! Their lunch items are just as delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly, service is fast even on a busy day, we LOVE all of the sauces on every table, it’s always clean, and they add new dishes pretty often to keep their menu fresh. Can’t say enough good things about them!“

“Having a passion with delicious healthy food I found the ideal place « Urban Greek Kitchen ».The food was amazing, very pleasant to all my senses. The rich colors, the tantalizing smell the mouth watering taste worked all together to create a most fulfilling experience! The owner, Sofia, is a wonderful hostess! Service and cleanliness were impeccable! i simply loved it!“

“Excellent beer, friendly staff, dog friendly food on the patio!!“

“The food was very good, the service was excellent, the place is very nice for the decoration, the only thing I recommend is that they update the prices on the menu, because when you go to pay you get the surprise that it is more than what it says the menu and one is left with the annoyance.“

“I have been a customer to this restaurant ever since they opened and always had great food and excellent service. Servers are professional and they are super attentive. Authentic Turkish desserts are always my favorite :-)“

“I ? Leisha's Bakeria, I go there every chance I can; I ? my fave ? ?? ?? & her famous Bustelo ☕☕☕, best in this ??, & with Jacqueline, my lovely friend who is the best server makes this place worth visiting!!! I highly recommend this wonderful eatery to all our locals & out of towner's to stop by & enjoy Leisha's Bakeria!!!“

“Delicious meals - we had the shrimp & scallops penne in cream sauce“

“Great food and service. Love it..“

“15 minute wait at 11AM on a Sunday, a bit noisy with loud voices and plentiful laughter. Food arrived in less than 10 minutes after order was placed (on handwritten green guest checks). I had the African hash - great dish! My wife opted for the duck wrap which also received glowing accolades. My grand kids had a breakfast sandwich with toast and French toast with a side of bacon, all of which was completely devoured. Great Place!!“

“RJ and Greg, servers at the Orange, CT, location are outstanding servers. They are kind, knowledgeable, and treat my wife Kathy and I as if we were family. They are valuable assets to Outback Steakhouse and should be rewarded. Greg and Jamie, the owner, helped make my birthday special.Dietary restrictions: They are accommodating.Parking: They are located conveniently off Exit 41 of I-95.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

“Great place to chill, eat and listen to bands.“

“I ordered a meatball pizza for take out after a 12 hour snowstorm of plowing in the snow equipment and was feeling pretty hungry for a late dinner. I live in the area and have been wanting to try oxford pizza palace, it seemed to be greek style pizza. I ordered a large 16inch or so meatball pizza. I usually prefer my meatball toppings flat sliced homestyle cooked meatballs, these were more small chunks but otherwise good still and fresh tasting. The cheese and sauce kind of had a different taste I couldn't completely put together i guess, idk i was hungry and i could crush the whole large pizza in probably one sitting if i tried too haha They offer an 18inch xl pizza size as well and i think next time im gunna order an xl pizza maybe a different topping to try how they make other pizzas and what the toppings taste like. I enjoyed the pizza overall and will return again.“

“The only place I ever go for pho! Been coming to PhonSaigo for over 15 years! Love this place!“

“My family and I randomly found TD Vietnam Palace and I am 100% happy we did! What a local gem! From the moment we walked in, we already knew something special would occur. The colorful hanging ceiling decor are fun and welcoming with bright colored lanterns and umbrellas. Kate is awesome, friendly and professional and made us feel like "home!" Their lunch specials are reasonably priced and plenty of food options! Everything we ordered was delicious! From Mango Boba, fish balls, pork egg rolls to Bahn Mi Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Pho, Chicken Fried Rice and Bo Luc Lac... it's a must try!!! Kid-Friendly, Kid-approved and Totally Delicious!!!“

“Ben is an amazing sushi chef! Friendly, creative, and like watching an artist! Enjoyed our sushi bar experience! Thank you!“

“Been looking for a good pizza since we moved here. definitely going to be our place for italian.“

“Great food, great atmosphere and amazing company! Thank you Pasquale for bringing such a gem to this beautiful city.“

“Has the dough changed? Has the recipe changed?The first time I tried it, I was not impressed. The hot oil is not spicy and the dough is tasteless and hard rather than chewy. I was kicked out of my #1 Connecticut pizza.If I go to another branch, I'll go there, but I don't want to eat the pizza I had today again.“

“This place is exceptionally good in every way. The fried oysters are out of this world delicious, with a beautiful presentation. Well made strong cocktails, excellent steaks, and delectable desserts. Our server, Nick, was knowledgeable, there when you needed him but not intrusive, with a great sense of humor. He was especially helpful with my entree choice.If you've not dined here yet, go now!“
