The Most Delicious Vegetarian in San Francisco

The Green House

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"Great vegan stall at the Chase Center. The line was short and the food was great. The Banh Mi was very good. Really liked how they used mushrooms instead of going with tofu like most other vegan Banh Mi's. The ruben sandwich was on par with most vegan restaurants within the Bay Area. Prices were reasonable by SF standards."

Curry Up Now

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (16) • $$

"Had a great time at the new IKEA food hall. I ordered the paneer tikka masala and enjoyed it! I love the ambiance at the Ike food hall. Curry up Now is on the 2nd floor and is like a mall food court. At the time of writing this review, it is very clean, bright, and open. The paneer itself was very tasty and recommend it. I wasn't a fan of the lentils they felt a bit grainy, but I haven't had too many lentils before so they weren't a consideration for my review. Friendly staff and I received my order quickly within 5 minutes of placing it. I have not tried them before so I am not sure how it compares to their other location. When you order, they provide you a buzzer and utensils are self serve at their counter."

Curry Up Now

★★★★☆ 3.7 • $$

"In a downtown, with a ramen or bubble tea shop on every block, it's nice to see an Indian inspired restaurant. I think if I went in with a more fast food mindset, I would have probably been a bit more satisfied with the meal. Sexy fries: The dish really didn't seem well thought out. The sweet potato fries were fine, but the paneer and sauce felt like it was just tossed on. Wouldn't recommend.Thali: we ordered with chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and spinach paneer. I liked how there was different variety, but the flavors of the dishes fell a bit flat. I wished the naan was chewier instead of a pita texture.Haaka noods: If you think of a standard Chinese chow mein, you'll get a decent idea for it tastes. Samosa: The best dish we ate. The pastry was hot and crispy and curried potatoes were tasty. Mango lassi: comes in a bottle so not sure if it is made fresh. Tasted fine.All in all, they try to go for a modern "cool" vibe feel, but the dishes, aside from the samosa, fell flat."

Umami Sushi

★★★★★ 4.7 (44)

"Our favorite sushi spot for the last year or so. Beats out the other Richmond and sunset spots by far. Consistently great quality fish, flavors, and service. They don't skimp on the size of the cuts. I love the real marinated wasabi (you have to order). Do yourself a favor, give it a try."

Savor

★★★★★ 4.7 (257) • $$

"I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I'd convert if I ate food from here everyday. On a whim my friend and I decided to catch-up and try something healthy, we found savor and it looked amazing. Parking in the area can be a bit difficult but it wasn't too bad. We got seated right away and the guy helping us gave us great recs we had 3 things that we shared and it was enough for us. We had the hot and cold asparagus which was amazing! I love asparagus and it wasn't overcooked , it was still crisp and it had a great sauce that went with it. We also had this dish with tofu and caramleized onions and some greens on the bottom. It was super flavorful and tasty, we devoured this so fast. The mushroom knaffe was so crispy with a bunch of savory mushrooms inside. We loved this as well. We ended dinner with their bread pudding and it was also super soft and not too sweet. Could taste some jam on top and cinnamon, was the perfect way to end the meal.Will definitely be coming back when i stop by in the area. Love this place and can't get enough of it! Total for 2 w/ tax & tip: $70"

Sushi Plus

★★★★☆ 3.9 (855) • $$

"Darn, guess I was a bit off. Still a popular place. But Korean owned. Heard the owner speak Japanese before. Came here for a quick dinner and was disappointed in the taste. Nabeyaki was salty and chicken wasnt great. Had two roles and both of the salmon and mango on top was cut like a novice who didnt know how to cut. Not sure if they were training people? Wasnt the usual waitresses either... it was an ajima (older aunt, maybe the female owner) and a hispanic lady. Got the teriyaki kids meal.. was ok. Less sauce would be preferable but chicken was drenched. Yikes... perhaps this was a one off..."

Greens Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$$

"Our group of 5 stopped by here, with two dogs, on that last Saturday when it was 100 degrees so doing anything outside would have been difficult. Still, the staff did everything they could to make sure we had a great time. The menu is a bit pricy but for the quality of food, you're getting that premium flavor too!We tried a little bit of everything including the biscuits, cornbread, baby lettuces, grilled corn, burrata and melon, spring rolls, summer hash, potato cakes and the mesquite tofu and thought that everything we ate was very very good. With 5 people and 5 different tastes, we were surprised at how collectively good everything was. I think the absolute favorites were the hash, the cornbread and the tofu which was jam packed with flavor. We'll be back!"

"Good eats if craving Korean food. Didn't want to spend too much. Surprised to see gluten- free meat option on the menu as most often meats are marinated in soy sauce. Extra wait 10 min for braised beef gluten free.Everything is fresh and the ban chan choices were plentiful to choose from.Only thing missing is japchae! Maybe it is in rotation."

"The Grand Opening of the new Mixt Greens Russian Hill is today. A great welcome outside with free sample of their Crist cauliflower. Inside the Mixt crew we're welcoming (so friendly)! I got a warm Curry Chicken Salad Bowl. The cashier gave me a welcome code to get 50% off the cost! I also have the Mixt mobile app and get a bonus of a small bouquet of dried flowers .What a sweet deal.The place is lively early at lunchtime.There are comfy booths and community tables (some are with high stool seats).The warm salad was delicious! I highly recommend to eat healthy here!"

Sumac Mediterranean Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (553) • $$

"We had a quick lunch at the Sumac after work, food was very well seasoned and tasted great. Portion sizes were generous. The menu is Middle East inspired which caters to vegetarians and meat eaters. Service is quick and super friendly. Restaurant was clean. All the food items are priced decently. Ambiance is nothing to write home about, this a restaurant best for take outs and application based food deliveries. Overall I am happy with my experience at Sumac."

Taqueria Los Primos #2

★★★★☆ 3.8 (45) • $

"They advertise as having autherntix mexican cuisine and they are not lying. The chile verde taste just like grandma used to make. The wet burritos are tender and easy to eat, but would be easier to share. Itd be better to come in groups. Thank god for the silver ware. Even im not enough of a beast to free hand this bad boy."

Curry & Kabab

★★★★☆ 4.3 (191)

"Ordered garlic naan and chicken tika masala online for pick up on a rainy day. Food was ready when I arrived and was still hot by the time I got home. Didn't have to reheat. Garlic naan was delicious but a bit soggy because it was wrapped in foil. Generous pieces of chicken in the tika masala. Most Indian restaurants usually give you 3-4 pieces of dried, tasteless chicken breast pieces, but there were at least 10 pieces of flavorful chicken. Will definitely be back to try other items."

"Absolutely outstanding! I was looking for keto-friendly options on DoorDash and wanted to change up my usual restaurant routine. Was pleasantly surprised to find this place pop up! My favorites were the sunflower seed crackers, the Thai wrap, and the 24 karat truffles (which are basically a guilt free bite of carrot cake!). You can't go wrong though with anything you choose here, the quality and freshness is top notch!"

"The restaurant is not too small or very big, so making a reservation online can help. The food was a bit pricey but delicious:- Bal & Kaymak (honey, clotted cream, and pita, $8)- Turlu & Cous Cous (Turkish ratatouille, pearl couscous, $23)- Karniyarik (eggplant and saffron rice, $25)- Branzino (fish, $35)The ones I enjoyed the most were the branzino and pita bread. The branzino was cooked really well, soft and flaky. The pita paired well with the clotted cream and honey, creamy and sweet."

"Tasty Vegetarian Thali check!Nice and clean interior check!Outdoor seating check!Fast and friendly service check!Proximity check!I am rooting for this place to succeed! I love their thali( Hot take alert!!! Buffet is not the way to experience Indian food.). This is my second time here and both times, the thali was great! They serve it with:2 Kinds of flavored rice sides ( Veg Pulao and Coconut rice this time), Fry( Tindora), Curry(Drumstick), Dal( Spinach tomato), a chutney, Rasam, Sambar, fry'ems, Curd rice and a sweet.Every item was tasty. The service was friendly, engaging and fast. The place was clean and has nice seating inside. They also have good outdoor seating so, I can hike with my dog in the morning, head straight for the unlimited thali and completely offset any good karma(calorie deficit).Keep it up!"

Akshar Home Made Food

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"It's always great to find home made vegetarian Indian food, and there should be really be more offering it. Akshar's cuisine is from Gujarat (nw India) and has a different flavor than I've had here and that's what makes Indian food a foodie experience.Akshar delivers tiffin (meals), about 7 dishes that will feed a family of 4 with plenty of leftovers. He says he'll even deliver to SF. I recommend!"

"Honestly, not sure why this place gets such low scores. Food is perfectly fine- it's not the best, it's not the most authentic, but it's decent and they're open late!I order here for their vegetarian dim sum options and their "meatless" dishes. their meatless dimsum:The pan fried turnip cake with meatless chicken is one of my favorites! "Bbq chicken" bun is good- not super amazing, but good enough to satisfy my bbq pork bun cravings!The bbq "chicken" puff is sooo good. It's usually made with bbq pork. This is a winner for me. I love taro puffs too, but this one is too greasy for my taste.The meatless Siu Mai is a pass. I always get the salt and pepper tofu. Tonight, it was ok. I don't remember if they always did this and I just don't remember, but there were lemon wedges with the tofu. It kind of ruined it for me. Even tho it was on the edge of the box, I feel like it made the crispy tofu soggy, and the flavor of lemon just didn't taste right with it. Note to self: remember to tell them NO lemons. I got the meatless sweet and sour chicken. Pro tip: anytime you order something deep-fried, and it comes with a sauce, ask them to package the sauce separately. This way your fried items aren't gross and soggy by the time you get it.And Yum yum eggplant was pretty good too! And it was packed to the brim!Hot and sour soup is how and sour soup. lol I think it could use a little more "hot and sour" though. But it's my personal taste. I just add more white pepper and a bit of vinegar at home. No big deal. I've never eaten in. Always delivery."

Keeva Indian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (769) • $$

"As per usual, the professionalism at this restaurant is top tier and the service is extremely friendly and prompt. It is a family owned business so the staff treat the customers like family and not like patrons. Inside you can feel the hospitality and exuding love that the team have for people. I ordered goat biryani, butter chicken, naan, and basmati rice during this visit, and it was absolutely amazing. Very delicious and filling. I took home a to-go box for later on and couldn't wait to smash it. If I said it before, I'll say it again, this is my favorite Indian jawn in all of the Bay. I will always come back."

"Finally decided to eat inside. I usually order delivery through doordash but even though it's amazing, I can't take good pictures because they're in to go boxes.I've been ordering here for a while now and food has always been amazing. And whenever I'm feeling sick, their Yellow Dal is my go-to food medicine. It's similar to a lentil soup but it has more texture and thicker.Prawn biryani is also my favorite and the only food I've been ordering since (including yellow daal).Food can get spicy sometimes and so make sure you specify your spice preference.Staff is also great and the lady was courteous and attentive. She made sure we have everything we need."

We were recommended and ordered the following:Rash Mazze Platter which has an amazing array of dips, bread and incredible smoked troutPomegranate and walnut stew with rice (yum!)For dessert: dates and apricots with tahini (so incredibly rich and filling and unexpected, it wasn't overly sweet yet hit the spot for dessert)All flavorful and delicious.A great place, can't wait to come back to try more dishes.

New Burma

"Ordered for takeout via Uber Eats on a Sunday evening, and it was so delicious. A cozy spot next to a good amount of offices, probably very popular during the week for lunch.We ordered:- Tea Leaf Salad with Lettuce: So crunchy and so many different flavors and textures. A must order!- Platha with Coconut Curry Chicken Dip: the platha was buttery and flaky and chewy and paired so well with the curry. Delicious!- Eggplant with Garlic Sauce: you can't go wrong with saucy fried eggplant. This was a great flavor explosion.- Mint Chicken: A deceivingly simple dish but was so tasty and had a great punch of flavor despite looking simple. No wonder it's one of their most popular dishes.- Coconut Rice: I could inhale multiple bowls of this. Light, fluffy, savory, and sweet all in one bowl. Service was quick, food was ready when we got there! Really great Burmese spot."

"Came here for the first time on Sunday during dinner and the food was delicious! We sat at the bar since other tables were taken or booked, but we didn't mind. Between 2 people, we got their Andhra Fried Chicken, Genovese Basil Dosa, and Butter Chicken. My favorite dish we got was the Genovese Basil Dosa. It was fun to eat and packed with tons of flavor, I also loved all sauces for this dish! The Butter Chicken was also really good, the curry was rich in flavor. I also liked how it came with butter naan. The staff was friendly and also provided us recommendations on what to get next time we're here. I would say this is a high end modern Indian restaurant. I definitely would come back again!"

"Location: The restaurant is located on a busy street with limited street parking in front of the restaurant. There is an amazing metered parking spot right in front of the restaurant BUT there is a sign that you can't park there Mon- Friday before 7PM. More street parking is around the corner, but we drove around a bit until we found a free spot. There are multiple homeless encampments in the area, so the restaurant is kept locked during business hours and an employee will open the door when they see you. Food: Taste was amazing. We ordered the veggie platter which came out in a big bowl on top of injera. For the main dish we ordered beef, which was placed in the middle of the bowl and my only qualm was that this portion was extremely tiny. The beef and veggie platter was about the same price, $17-$18 each, but the portion of beef looked similar to the portion of one item from the veggie platter. Ambiance: The restaurant is very neat--almost corporate looking. The seating area is small with only 5 tables as pictured. You order at the counter and seat yourself. The place is very casual and there is even a self self water station."

Teranga

★★★★★ 4.7 (30)

"This gem of a place is the best thing to happen to the Embarcadero area. Small in size but mighty in flavor, it's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. I got the Maafa, which can be made with or without protein. Such a delicious dish packed with so many delicious vegetables! The rice was even super flavorful, fluffy and delicious! You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Every dish looks amazing (and I love that they have photos of the dishes on the menu as well). The staff are so helpful and kind and really go out of their way to ensure each dish is made and presented beautifully. The portions are ample, and price is right (probably the most bang for your buck in this area).They also offer juices that looked pretty amazing and a variety of foods that you can grab and go if you're in a rush. Literally my new favorite spot to go for a great meal that's going to be good for me and also taste good.Street parking can be dicey but there is a garage located in Embarcadero 3 that's across the street. Bart is also nearby and you are within walking distance to the Ferry Building."

Dosa Corner Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (93)

"I am amazed. Didn't have Indian in a very long time and that's what my acquaintance suggested and I picked. The place is very well-lit and clean. There are many vegetarian options, as well as meat. I went with the lamb dosa and it's huge. It comes with 3 sauces. The spice level is good. It does not bite but can get your nose loose or a tear or two. I like spicy and it was medium for me. Mango lassi was nice and fresh. A little too much yogurt, but it gives you a fresh and cool effect after the spicy. Biryani was very well-made and a nice portion is provided. I would come back"
