The Most Scrumptious Vegetarian in Denver

Snarf's Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 3.7 (705) • $$

"Snarfs is my favorite local sandwich shop/chain in Colorado! Each sandwich is handcrafted with love and fills me up every single time. I've tried most of what they offer but a couple stands out particularly their motherclucker and Italian sandwiches. Their house peppers are to die for and adds a nice little zing to each bite! In the photo was their special which was the Italian but with meatballs and marinara which was amazing.Ok but what about their off menu offerings? Boy get the Mother clucker now! Rotisserie chicken, veggies and the secret ingredient...honey! It adds a nice little sweetness which cuts into the saltiness to the toppings. You won't be disappointed! We've only been two of their locations, which are the cherry Creek and University shops, but both provide amazing service and good eats."

Shawarma Mediterranean Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (491) • $

"We've enjoyed this family run spot for years. It's always fresh with very generous portions and delish. You really can't go wrong with anything here but I usually get the chicken shawarma plate with garlic sauce. I challenge you to eat it all including the pita!! The other dish that is out of the world is the falafel. I never had delectable falafel until I came here. It melts in your mouth! Please try it and it'll change your life. You'll realize what the humble chickpea can really be! Oh and the hummus. Spectacularly creamy, fresh and oh so tasty.Next topic is the price. You can't have a great restaurant with fresh food and pay your employees fairly for a $7 huge plate of food. It's just not possible. I gladly pay the prices here to support local and have the highest quality food. It's the freshest you can find.Lastly is the customer service. They are just delightful. Helpful. Efficient. Smiles. Supportive when you can't decide. I never walk away feeling less than completely satisfied."

Tarasco's

★★★★★ 4.5 (423) • $$

"I searched this place up wanting to get a quality smothered burrito experience that was also vegetarian-friendly. This was clearly the right place, with ample vegan variations on the menu (though I got mine vegetarian with a sprinkling of cheese on top). Options were distinctive, and I loaded up. My burrito was quite beautiful, and the sauce elevated the array of plant-based ingredients inside. A chocolate corn drink delivered the promised mix of flavors. I didn't need to add a lentil soup, and while it wasn't fancy, it was hearty and satisfying and lentil soup remains an underutilized food offering in my estimation. This place was in a fairly anonymous suburban area but was brightly decorated inside. I could have ordered a dozen other things if I'd had room."

Real Thai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (381) • $$

"Excellent Authentic Thai, This spot has been our go-to for a number of years now I'm just now getting around to getting a review done. I get a sense of soup *azi vibe when ordering over the phone or online, outside of that they know their cuisine well."

Tandoori Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.7 (253) • $$

"The lunch buffet is back, hooray! It is laid out the way I remember from before COVID, with about a half dozen entrees and a half dozen sides, plus a cold table of fresh vegetables and kheer. They bring you fresh-baked naan while you are eating, as well as having naan on the buffet table. My favorite dish here is still the chicken tikka masala, which is one of the choices in the buffet. The buffet is available during lunch time (11-2 Tuesday through Friday) for $14.99."

Flower Child

"Convenient location, spacious dining room, friendly staff, good selection of food and beverage items. What else should I mention about this healthy eatery? I don't know how many times I had passed by this place whenever I was in Cherry Creek. As much as I wanted to try it so badly, I got sidetracked each time. But finally, yesterday, I had a chance to check it out. And the experience was good. What I like about this place is the fact that they have several wines on tap. This is a huge plus for me. During a late lunch hour, on top of the several sides and the soup of the day (in a bowl) for us to share, I had to get me the Sauvignon Blanc on tap (they also have Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir on tap.) What we got were...Cauliflower Risotto (side), Sweet Potato (side), Brown Rice (side) and Daily Soup (Thai Chicken Curry with Mushroom, Coconut and Lime), Sauvignon Blanc (tap) and Arnold Palmer. Let me rate each one (except Arnold Palmer as I didn't taste this one.)-Sauvignon Blanc: This is a decent Sauv.Blanc. Crisp and light. For $8, I'll go back here just for this as a casual lunch or even early dinner.-Cauliflower Risotto: Is a bit too salty to my liking and yet, overall, this is not a bad dish to order as a side. The portion size is decent.-Sweet Potato: Enjoyed this one. I have never had sweet potato cooked with bok choy and they are paired well in my opinion. Not too salty at all.-Brown Rice: This is a simply rice dish. Plain and well cooked. Decent is the best way to describe it.-Daily Soup: Like I stated above, it's a Thai Chicken Curry with Mushroom, Coconut and Lime. This is a soup, not a curry dish so it's very soupy (since it's got the curry flavor, I wish this was a bit more curry-ish dish to be frank so I wasn't super impressed with this one and yet, it wasn't a bad dish either.) The portion size is good for the kind of price ($7.95).*Note: all the sides are $5. I'd say eat outside as long as the weather permits. The patio has a good number of tables. Yeah, you'll hear the traffic noise from the 1st Avenue but it's not too bad. It's a good place for all occasions: family dining, ladies' get-together, date, or even solo."

Masalaa

★★★★☆ 3.7 (340) • $$

"I worked in India during my career and fell in love with the food. One of my favorite breakfast/brunch dishes is sambhar and idli. I have been eating at Masalaa for years pre-COVID at their buffet. Now that they are on my drive from the stable, I stopped to order sambhar and idli as it had been a favorite of mine on the buffet. I was greeted with a smile and a nod, my order taken, and I was talked into a Chai to go. I was so pleased with my brunch, two large idli, a nice container of sambhar, and two sauces, tamarind and cilantro. And of course, the chai was as advertised, delicious. I paid around $10 for my meal and thought it was a great deal by today's standards. The dining room is small and cozy for when I decide to eat in. I know this will become a regular."

V Revolution

★★★★☆ 4.4 (204)

"This is a plant-based vegan/vegetarian casual eatery that serves Asian fusion food. Until my new friend suggested this to be our little lunch get-together place the past Wednesday, I had no clue about its existence (or I had heard about it but the knowledge somehow fell into oblivion.) Therefore, I owe my friend huge thanks.I couldn't wait to dine here. I browsed the menu a few times online beforehand so that I wouldn't be so indecisive when I got here on the day of. Japanese Katsu Rice Bowl caught my attention but I thought I'd try to be spontaneous was my intention.I jinxed it. I got me the Katus Bowl when I got here. I mean at least that would be a great starter item to pick for my very first visit.My friend said what she likes about this place is that they serve food in a to-go container even if it's a dine-in. That way, people would not feel so obligated to finish all of their food; they can always take the rest home with them to avoid food waste. I kind of agree with this concept because both my friend and I could not finish our food as the portions here are pretty generous.I truly enjoyed my Katus Rice Bowl. At the first impression, the entire food looked salty (I simply dislike salty food.) I was wrong (and glad to be wrong!!.) Although there was a generous amount of tonkatsu sauce over the katsu part, it wasn't salty at all. And the veggies that were underneath the katsu were cooked to the perfect texture. In other words, they weren't soggy or too raw.This restaurant is surrounded by hospitals and medical offices. It must be very popular amongst those workers from those places. Although on a Wednesday that seemed typical, we were one of the few people who dined here during the peak noon lunch time. The lady at the ordering counter said that this place opened during the peak of the pandemic. I truly hope that they are getting enough foot traffic. For a restaurant that focuses on plant-based only food, they should get more accolades from people who prefer this type of diet. With that said, they have my utmost support for sure!! I'll definitely be back soon. I will try one of the noodle bowls at my next visit."

Pho Saigon Basil

★★★★☆ 3.8 (226)

"This is a staple here in Belmar. They have the best Pho. I always get their veggie pho which comes with vegetables(obvi) and tofu. Plus some razzle dazzle of bean sprouts and green onions. The food is always fresh and it never takes longer than 15 mins to get your order from when you placed it. Their spring rolls are also delicious. Again I get the veggie one which comes with tofu and my husband gets the shrimp one and we are always happy with how they look and how they taste. We've been coming here for years and it's definitely well worth it. Especially if you are under the weather come grab some of their pho and you are sure to feel better"

MAD Greens - 16th Street Mall

★★★★☆ 3.7 (189) • $

"After walking around Downtown Denver all day I worked up an appetite. I stumbled upon Mad Greens which was a salad bar type of place. They had a large selection of Salads, juices and wraps. I got a regular Siam I Am which came with spinach, kale, quinoa, carrots, edamame, green onions and peanuts, I got chicken instead of tofu and it was paired with a ginger soy dressing. The potion was huge so I am glad I did not get a large order. I even walked out with left overs and ate it the next day. The location I super convenient to people who work around there and tourists looking for a quick bite. Ordering was easy and fast and the location was super clean."

MAD Greens - Lakewood

★★★★☆ 3.7 (154) • $

"Went to a business event and they were kind enough to serve lunch. They ordered Mad Greens catering. It was my first time seeing the catering from the restaurant and I liked the packaging. So easy to set up. The food came in boxes which could be unfolded to become a food station. And the salad dressing in bottles. Quick set up and easy clean up. The wraps they ordered were half wraps of various types. I had the Albert E's BLT and it was delish. Sometimes wraps can be dry but this one was just right. Not swimming in sauce/dressing and not dry. The build your own salad bar was great with blt and avocado and meats to choose from. And the cookies - had a chocolate chip cookie and went back for one more. Soft and moist and not too sweet. Definite win for business lunch."

MAD Greens - Colorado & Evans

★★★★☆ 3.5 (161) • $$

"This place is MAD good! Unfortunately the seating area is closed but take out is available. I ordered the chicken chipotle ceaser in a spinach wrap (minus the tomatoes ) added a few extra things like red onion, bacon, and mad spice pecans. This combination was everything. Now why not 5 stars? Well the only thing was missing was a little bit of welcoming while walk in and the gentleman face was obviously in a unpleasant mood with very little conversation. Maybe a bad day who knows, but my food was delicious"

Pho 90

★★★☆☆ 3 (176) • $$

"The food was delicious ... I had shrimp pad Thai ... and it was spiccccy ... but then my level of spicy is not high. Also tried the low mein which was good ... the location is perfect in the Southlands.The staff were really nice and friendly... Nothing really special about the inside considering it's at the Southlands ... nonetheless the feel and ambiance of the place was ok ... I would give it another try ... 7.3/10"

"First time here. Was immediately greeted by Kelsey...super friendly and helpful! She gave me suggestions and that's what I ordered! Salads and wraps are amazing! I ordered the crazy Ivan and Annie Oakley, both were outstanding! Both employees love what they're doing and it shows! Great job!"

Zao Asian Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (67) • $$

"Curiosity wins! So it all started with a coworker's lunch. I was walking by and saw her enjoying something I had never seen before so I asked her where she got it and she said, "Zao off Cottonwood!" I knew I had to go. When I arrived at Zao I was unsure what I saw at work but described it in 10 words-- it was green, had steak, and other yummy ingredients inside! The register person said, "Oh, you want the bahn mi wrap!" Let's do this! They let me choose ingredients so it was loaded with steak, rice, carrots, cucumbers, jalapeños, and sauces. I left a two in the tip jar and the cashier mentioned he collected coins and bills! When I said that I did too and that I like the older eagle quarters he gave me an older 92 quarter!I found a seat with a simply spectacular view! I felt like an emperor on a hill. I took a bite and started to smile. Then took a second and third bite, and by the fourth it was Zaoabunga!! The combination of flavors and ingredients in this wrap definitely pop! When business slowed on the line the staff hustled and kept the seating area spotless. The kitchen was also spotless, which is difficult to do on a busy line. A gentleman came out and took my basket and foil and asked me how I liked it. Loved it! Take it from a long time Yelptastic this place is a must and won't break the bank."

"Always good healthier options for food and in a time crunch. Love mad greens and recommend stopping by if you've never been before."

Spice Room

★★★★★ 4.8 (45)

"This is hands down the best Indian food I've had in the Denver area. My husband and I got takeout and shared:- Shahi Paneer- Mysore Masala Crispy Dosa- Dahi Papari Chaat- Garlic NaanEverything was delicious and full of flavor. I'd happily come back to try more of the menu."

MAD Greens - Southwest Plaza

"Great salad option! Being a Californian we have lots of great salad places in LA, so my expectation of this place after seeing Yelp reviews was not high. It was a pleasant surprise!"

MAD Greens - Highlands Ranch

"Elotes Mac bowl is so good! Little spicy with fresh onions and herbs. It's a huge serving too with grilled chicken and bow tie pasta. I add the mad spice for a zing."

Snarf’s Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 3.8 (48)

"We got into town late and didn't know what to eat. The guys at the local dispensary directed me here when I said I wanted salad. I was a little skeptical but the salad with rotisserie chicken was really good, and the girls working were super sweet and friendly."

Unofficial Translation

★★★★★ 5 (10)

"Ordered takeout online. The website says delivery only, but they just mean you can't get the food from this pop-up as dine-in at the caribbean restaurant it shares a kitchen with.The Munashe Curry and Laziji Nuggets were spicyz funky, and unique, and the sesame tofu was well-executed normcore food, smart to have on the menu. Attention to detail with the branding is appreciated as well. Value was shockingly excellent for something so trendy. I'm going to make more rice and get a second meal out of the curry.Excited to see what they do next."
