50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Franklin Lakes

“My family and I each enjoyed fantastic service and food at Pazza today. We were offered seats in or outdoors and chose to sit inside. I have celiac and absolutely loved their gluten-free penne shrimp fra diavolo! So spicy and delicious. We all left feeling happy and very full!“

“We are regular Market Basket shoppers. Last week we ordered a fruit platter for a party that was the best I have ever had. Every piece of fruit was perfect. The assortment included several types of berries. Market Basket has many great items. This fruit platter was remarkable.“

“Very tasty. Cute inside for a small place, works for a low key date night for sure. Good service, everyone is very friendly. Easy to pop in and order quick take away. Can't beat the giant parking lot, always easy to find a spot. Good prices, great for catering platters too!“

“First off, shout out to Bree, the sweetest, most attentive, and most patient waitress! Uncle Louie's is the BEST! We actually found it years ago on a search for "best pizza in Bergen County" during the pandemic and we have driven half an hour to dine there weekly nearly every week since. They are so kind with bringing rolls and bruschetta to the table to start, and, the appetizers, mains, and pies (buffalo calamari, chicken parmigiana, and Uncle Louie's - a spicy deep dish are our go-to's) really do live up to the hype.“

“Just celebrated my younger daughter's birthday at Naru. Nice modern feel. Staff were all pleasant and professional. The hibachi chef was polite and cooked very well. The entertainment was restrained and that was perfect for me. I ordered the ribeye hibachi, most of the rest of our group had the chicken. The ribeye was amazingly tender. We also had a Godzilla roll and a Philadelphia roll. Excellent quality rolls. The hibachi came with fried rice, noodles, vegetables, soup, salad, shrimp, and a scoop of ice cream. Great amount of food. Definitely worth a return!“

“One of our favorite restaurants! The food is incredibly flavorful, and everyone from the owner to the greeter to the waiters are a pleasure to talk with, making the experience that much better. It can get a bit noisy, but the tables are spaced so you're not right on top of your neighbor. Suggestions- Apps- Malfatti, Polpette, Cauliflower Sformatino Main- Spinach & Roasted Garlic Risotto, Cherry Braised Short Ribs, Sunday Gravy, Braised Veal Cheek. Dessert- Beignets, Carrot Cake These are our favorites, but I've heard no complaints about any dishes.“

“Sebastián loba and Tesoro were so amazing and attentive in everything. The entire experience was amazing. We took my mother for her birthday and it was something to remember. Well definitely be coming back! Thank you to all the staff for the amazing work“

“Great service and fabulous food“

“From start to finish we had an amazing meal. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious and imaginative. Beautiful ambiance too.We have had a perfect dinner every time we have been here and can't wait to come back!“

“Delicious Palestinian food! We were blown away from the moment the appetizers were served. Highly recommend the hummus to start and lamb makluba!The service was phenomenal as well! Next time you’re in the area, be sure to check out this restaurant!“

“The best pizza in Bergen County!“

“Alright! Where do i begin?! There were 4 people behind the counter and when i walked in, all four greeted me. The manager greeted at the ordering station and didnt overwhelm me to order my food as this was the first time being there. He asked me if id like any suggestions and we landed on the chicken platter with spicy chickpeas rice and cole slaw. Everything about this bowl was immaculate. The chicken was well seasoned and spiced, the chick peas were tender and savory, and the rice was such a great compliment to the protein. I also ordered their fries because why not!The portion size was generous but not overbearing. They had the mexican coke glass bottles which was a great choice to wash the food down with. I got the brown to top it all off and it was amazing. Chipotle, Qdoba, Halal Guys even have nothing on Juicy Platters. I definitely will be coming back with the family!“

“It is always such a great experience, the service is excellent and the food is amazing. My mother, husband and sister all ordered the short ribs special and they all agreed it was over the top delicious. My other sister had the Halibut and she was very satisfied with her dish and I had the duck which is always amazing.“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“

“My girlfriend and I came a week ago as first time customers. Service was quick, staff was friendly, and the place is very clean. I ordered the Pitaya Blend substitute the pineapple with Açaí. Man these smoothies are amazing! We've been back on multiple occasions since. Customize your smoothies and support this business because it's worth it!“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“Great food, cooked to perfection staff was super friendly. Highly recommend!!“

“The food was delicious! Everything was so flavorful and was served in a timely manner. They even ask you if you have allergies beforehand which I thought was very considerate! The atmosphere is beautiful, with moody lighting to the decorations like a projector!! Very modern twist with cultural aspects put into place. 5/5!!“

“A not to be missed spot for classic and creative Indian cuisine. Chef's creations are innovative and delicious!“

“I chose a simple breakfast today! Cyndia's knocked it out of the park with their Over Easy Eggs, Home Fries and Whole Wheat toast! Everything was cooked to perfection. It was awesome! The Great Friendly Service and Atmosphere made my breakfast experience even better. Highly recommend stopping in you will be glad you did! To Cyndia's staff keep up the Great Work, Quality and Service you provide to your customers!!!“

“Nico is the top bartender in the area, super knowledgeable on all the beers and food and goes the extra mile for you. Furthermore, the GM Sal is a great guy who also knows all there is to know about local beers and the food at Shannon Rose. Overall a great spot for all types of drinks and food! 10/10“

“Hello everyone, we made a collective reservation with our friends, even though we were a large group, they prepared a section for us in the garden section and everything was perfect and the waiter who took care of us constantly came and checked our tables and offered many treats. I wanted to thank everyone here again, good luck to you and your efforts. May you have fruitful work.. ?Kid-friendliness: I would definitely recommend it as a place where you can spend comfortable time with your children :)“

“First time at this place & we had a wonderful time! Our server Karen was super attentive & always checked in to make sure we were good. The food was delicious, drinks were great & atmosphere was so fun! We came on a night where there were two singers doing live performances of well known songs. So great, definitely recommend!“

“We celebrate our daughter Sweet 16th birthday, the food and service was exceptional. Thank you Yolanda for everything! Katherine and assistant Brandon, the decorations/ coordination was Exactly what we asked for and more. Thank you guys for everything & great memories!“

“Went here today, in absolute awe over how beautiful this restaurant is in the inside. Food was 10/10 and service was 10/10“

“The food was good, I ordered just a waffle and bacon recently, but unfortunately, the TV was tuned to Newsmax and I was told "it couldn't be changed". Now that I know the extreme political views of those in charge, I won't be spending any more of my money there. Nor will I recommend the Lakeside Diner any more. Too bad, it used to be such a nice place.“

“Excellent food an beautiful ambience. Desserts were delicious“

“Finally a quality Pho spot that is 5 minutes from me. I have been going to Bing Duong in Belleville for forever. This place is 2 minutes away and just as good. The restaurant has a nice updated atmosphere with a great staff. We have been a few times and have enjoyed every dish. Recently we tried the beef stew. I hefty bowl of deep, heart warming goodness. A nice change of pace from the normal pho. Lemon grass pork is also a nice big portion marinated and cooked perfectly. I really liked their fried rice which I normally don't care for. Spring rolls were good. All in all a great place that I highly recommend.“

“The food here is great. The garlic cheese naan is my favorite. The chicken korma and tikka masala are both great. They ask you what spice level you’d like and I appreciate that. The chicken vindaloo is amazing. I do find them to be a bit pricey, but the food is very good. PS. The mango margarita is surprisingly delicious. It has a bit of a thick viscous texture like mango nectar. Very good.“

“favorite lunch spot. we are regulars. i love the two vegan ramens (kimchi and the curry) and my husband's go-to is the spicy miso tonkasu. we also get the squid appetizer. best ramen in the area by far. we always have a good meal here. broth taste so good and i love how they dice fresh vegetables into small sizes. delicious!“

“Great service and great food would highly recommend!“

“The three of us went for a late breakfast. We were seated quickly. The place was about 40% full. We ordered food and then the lunch crowd arrived. Our server was very good and took our order with some special notes without fail. This is our fifth time eating here, and Giovanna did not fail on the food. Cheese steak sandwhich had Sautee onions and plenty of thinly sliced steak. It was delicious. We also had eggs over easy, which was done perfectly. The eggs had those fried little eggs of egg whites. Link sausage was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. Scramble eggs were light and tasty, sliced avocados on top were fresh and complemented the dish nicely. It also came with a fresh fruit cup. A complementary refresh on the coffee is a nice touch. The only downside is that when it's busy, the wait time is long. We have waited .45 mins for a table. Street parking only.“

“A welcome addition to food court food, as stated by a lifelong Bergen County kid who used to fuel up on free chicken samples back in the day. I can’t say enough about the high quality fish, freshness of vegetables, creativity of the combinations (had the #2 Spicy Ahi) or good nature of the staff at Pokeworks. It’s as if they know that they’re feeding you a meal that though quick, is bettering your life. Definitely my go to before a movie at AMC.“

“If fresh authentic homemade pasta is what you crave, this is the place to go. Food is delicious and of high quality. You can taste that everything is authenticly Italian homemade with love and care. It's a limited menu but that is how they can put out such high quality. Prices are not cheap but worth it for the quality and execution. It's a small place with only few tables but we went for lunch and not a problem getting a table. BTW, it's a BYOB“

“I stopped into Bask 46 on Thursday for Happy Hour. Enjoyed the ambiance & vibe and that carried over to your bartender.She was the star of it all. She greeted me with a smile and made me one of the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. I think I’ve found my “Cheers” !!! See you again !!“

“Great experience! I've been going to Iachettis for years now, so I decided to do a school project on the restaurant. We had a meeting with the owner who was very nice and helpful towards me and my partners. The food was delicious (highly recommended penne w/ pesto) and the restaurant always has a great environment. Will be back soon!!“

“Honey Buffalo boned wings are 10/10. One of the best wings I ever had.Burger was juicy and very flavorful.Salted Caramel cheese cake was very soft and spot on.Plenty of parking.Outside courtyard today on 4/28/24 had perfect weather and bloomed pink tree. (Not sure what type of tree)Irish nachos I didn't expect to enjoy as much as i did.Would definitely return.Honey Buffalo Wings are a must!“

“Loved it here! Came around 10ish so it wasn’t super busy. Service was great! Super nice and helpful. I have the chilaquiles verdes with steak and they were delicious! I just wish they were a little spicier. The passion fruit lemonade was great too! Would come back“

“Alaeddin's Pizza best place ever. Everything is halal, everything is clean, the seating is amazing, the management is awesome, service is unprecedented, and most importantly, everything is delicious. Plus 5% off for their instagram followers @alaeddinspizza .“

“Kim is personable ,caring ,loving and faithful to Jesus so that’s what’s makes an incredible person. And an exceptional bartender /Waitess she is loves and a true friend to see each time I come to Houlihans and even when it’s months I don’t see her for she back to where it all began !“

“I just returned from Costa Rica! Three days later I ran to Tucanes for Costa Rican food! They do not disappoint! Delicious, fresh, authentic and beautifully presented is exactly how to describe my meal! In addition to scrumptious food, TucanesHas a lovely, pristine atmosphere with excellent service. Restrooms are immaculate! I love this place. I went back a week later for another wonderful experience! I am now a regular!“

“This was my second visit to Paheli. It was even better than the first And it was excellent the first the first time. Highly recommended.“

“HOLY SMOKES! It's been a long time since I was left satisfied and smiling! This Chicken Carciofi is a master class, must-have item in your take out rotation. The focaccia crunch blended with the heavenly fresh mozzzy ooooooooh MAMA!!! When I eat this sandwich, I travel to another dimension, and I'm comfortable in that place, it feels like home. Add on the special, yet delicate ARANCINOs and I am LOST, barely aware of my surroundings, struggling to gather myself. God Bless America and God Bless Adam and those soldiers at Francesca's!“

“Happy Vegans Qofte in Clifton, NJ, offers delicious vegan options with a cozy atmosphere. I tried their Happy Vegan Burger and Babaganoush, both bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. Overall, a great spot for tasty vegan eats in a relaxed setting!“

“Passed through for a quick coffee and bite. Atmosphere is quaint and relaxing surprised by the automated waiter “Buddy”. Very cool and definitely eases the work burden. Coffee and food was really good recommend the banana coffee and crumb cake, pesto pasta that came with the grilled cheese was pretty good too! Will most likely be a regular spot for me in the future and definitely recommend if you’re in the neighborhood.“

“First time there, first time Sampling Turkish food,beautiful restaurant, great staff and AMAZING food!“

“So many drink options! Excellent coffee, you can customize in every way possible. They offer lots of recommendations if you're overwhelmed and can't make a decision. Servers are always patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Scones are good and the breakfast wraps are the absolute best. The only two drawbacks are that it is quite pricey, and it takes an awfully long time for food orders. I would get breakfast here every morning but it's at least a 15 min wait if you order any food, and there's almost always a line to order. Overall, it's a very good coffee shop and provides an excellent alternative to just the usual Dunkin and Starbucks in the area.Parking: There are only a few spots in front of the coffee shop but you can park further down past C&RC or near Ernie's, if needed.“

“Our / Nuestra Passion is a great little coffee spot. The staff is friendly and professional. I had the fruit crêpes on Sunday. I thought they were the best. I was ready to go back Monday for more they are closed. The smoothie my daughter had was delicious fresh strawberries and mango. I only wish I realized sooner they were located right on Main Street . I have been there twice now and always a great time. Best coffee and food . Great staff friendly and kind.“

“Small and traditional Indian restaurant in Garfield. They have Banglore traditional south Indian food. Try their idli, wada and kara dosa..really tasty.Restaurant is small and owned by family. It's very traditional and prices are very reasonable. I would say cheaper than bigger chains. Definitely try this one if you are in area.Vegetarian options: Restaurant is vegetarian with lot of vegetarian options.“

“A very good local sushi spot. I've been coming here every since they opened in their previous location and the sushi here is the best in the area. I usually get their special rolls at least once a month. Highly recommend if you're in the area.“
