Best Vegetarian / Vegan Restaurants in Melrose Park

What an amazing experience! The food flavors and visual presentation were just delightful! Our hostess Lilly was knowledgeable and attentive. The entire experience was wonderful! This is going to be one of our go-to restaurants going forward. Whether you are vegan or not, this is a must-try! We loved it!

Each bite at Sifr was incredible. We got the hummus, pita, carrots, falafel, maitake, and lamb kabob. The textures, flavors, and colors were all so impressive and we will definitely be back. Beautiful space, excellent service. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Outstanding meal and terrific dishes . Been to Thattu, a few times and note the progress over the years. Reservation made earlier in the day guaranteed us no wait. Alcohol is available with a native twist to the traditional cocktails. Food, Made ideally for the South Indian palate but not too spicy for the average palate and food similar enough to the East African and Caribbean dishes. The menu changes regularly but standard dishes like fried chicken, biryani, and unique fair like Appams(flat leavened pancakes) are absolutely delicious. The thali meals wand vegetarian sides are delicately made. Dessert was a a fried jackfruit cake and and payasam. Both exquisite. Tips built in and shared equally by all the staff. Ambiance is one of a casual restaurant with no airs. Simply laid out large dining room and very attentive staff . All orders are placed on individual phones and the tab can be kept open till the meal is done and gone. Service was quick. Street parking can sometimes be a challenge. A wonderful experience to which we will most certainly return.

Wonderful salmon and traditional meatballs w spaghetti. Great Marinara sausce.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Chicago. And I’ve brought many non-vegan and non-vegetarians who love it as much as I do simply because the food tastes good! I usually start with bang bang broccoli and add several great rolls for the table. ⭐️✨
