Houston’s vast food scene shifts and adapts to please its vegetarian and vegan customers. No matter what part of town you are visiting, you can be confident that a healthy option is just a few miles away. Ranging from local entities to chains, the vegetarian restaurants’ menus in Houston include Indian-inspired dishes, spring salads and even organic cocktails.

Quan Yin Vegetarian Restaurant

Replacing traditional Asian (primarily Vietnamese; this is Houston, after all) cuisine with vegan food, Quan Yin Vegetarian Restaurant is truly one of a kind. Dumplings, egg rolls and noodles are all on the menu, but with a special twist to make them good for your body. It may be located on a casual strip mall, but don’t be deceived.

Baba Yega Cafe

Located in Montrose and established in 1975, Baba Yega Cafe is a beautiful spot named after a Slavic witch. It has a separate vegetarian menu for its customers that has a large number of options ranging from hippie meatloaf to a vegan Reuben.

Pat Greer’s Raw Vegan Kitchen

Locally sourced meals, salads, desserts and snacks, Pat Greer’s Raw Vegan Kitchen not only serves food daily, but also caters and holds classes. Large salads cost $9, which is a steal considering the quality of the ingredients.

Aladdin Mediterranean Cuisine

A Mediterranean haven, this restaurant offers a service that vegetarians will thrill over. In a buffet-like style, customers choose which foods they would like to purchase, giving vegetarians the option to peruse the items at their leisure. This way, your non-vegetarian friend can get the lamb, and you the grape leaves.
