I'll start with the greens. They are soooo good. The cabbage is good too. The vegan food is to be expected. I was it had more sauce on it because I don't like dry rice. But I would Definitely say the place is a hit. Definitely give them a try. The patties are soo good. I don't necessarily like pumpkin but I can stand behind his pumpkin patty. The beef patty may have a big if jerk seasoning. And I think the lentil patty have curry in it. The drinks are good but they have sea moss in it. They were good to me. No added sugar. The service was good. They are very attentive to your needs. The seats are a little tight but I would say you don't come here for the seating. If you are on a path to vegan-ism this is a great place to start!! read more

The dishes were fresh, flavorful, and thoughthtfully prepared. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu:)

I have been going here since before the pandemic but during the pandemic they were closed which made me sad. I returned today because the weather was beautiful and I was craving something delicious. Parking is a little tight on the side street since you can't park on the main road but it's well worth the walk. Inside it's a little tight and today it looks like they were closed but their door was open and there was one gentleman there who is very kind and talked to me about veg Fest while preparing my meal. Their food is absolutely flavorful and even the most carnivorous of people would enjoy this meal when they want to break from meat! read more

If I were on death row and had to pick a dish for my last meal, this would be it. Dramatic but it's true. I've been coming here since my college days many years ago, and the foods been consistently amazing ever since. Steve is one of the kindest people I've met. He truly embodies the spirit of what it means to be a good person read more

Today was my first time going to Belmont Vegetarian and I will definitely be going back! The owner Steven was very nice and helpful. The food is definitely a 10+ the flavors were delicious and didn't even taste like vegetarian food. My daughter who is super picky loved the pepper steak and white rice which absolutely shocked me. I was actually going to head to McDonald's for her but she opted for a vegetarian meal instead which made me a happy mama. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Belmont Vegetarian - Collard greens, curry potatoes and chick peas, steamed veggies, pepper steak, brown rice and veggie stew Large Plate - Vegan Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

OH MY GOODNESS, like where do I even begin on the flavors of the dish I got. I got the large ($20) and I got curry, pepper steak, stew mushrooms, mac, collards, and brown rice everything was great! The place is small on the inside which is perfect for me and I almost ate my entire plate in one bite Steven, who I found out through amazing conversation was the owner, was kind, very informative, welcoming, friendly, and answered all of my questions as this was my first time there. I will be back for sure as I am a frequent visitor to the Worcester area. read more

One of my friend told me about Belmont Vegetarian and how delicious the food is. she mention the black beans, brown rice and pepper steak. I had to try it cause I couldn't get it out of my mind and wow she was right the food is so delicious. I got the pepper steak, brown rice curry potatoes, collard greens and veggies. Everything was delicious and owner and the young man were very nice. read more

Cozy spot with cozy comfort vegan food. Each side and protein is seasoned well and I still have yet to have a combo that doesnt slappp. deff check this place out!! read more

The best food in Massachusetts?? Maybe. Delicious Jamaican fare with unique seasonings and quick and friendly service. There isn't much like it around this region -- there are other Jamaican/Caribbean places with vegan options, sure, but at those spots you usually only get your more standard fare of tofu, rice, and one decent veggie or plantain. Here, EVERYTHING is great and you get a variety of differently flavored protein options, plus three different pastas! This review/post was made in connection with a Toast promotion. read more

Fun and delicious, and no animals were injured or killed! Going vegan does not mean having to suffer!

YUM! So good! We found this restaurant when searching for vegan restaurants in Worcester, and are so glad we did. It's on a busy street, on a hill, so I'd highly recommend parking on a side street on the restaurant side of the street so you don't have to race across and feel like you are playing a human game of Frogger. The awning also says Velmont instead of Belmont... but you are in the right place! They no longer offer an everything plate, as so many recommended on Yelp, but a large gets you: rice-- brown or white, or quinoa, 2 proteins & 3 sides. It's a LOT of food and it's all DELICIOUS. There isn't an actual menu-- just the price for a medium or a large and how many of each type of item you get with that size. However, when I said it was my first time they pointed to and named all the options. Super duper friendly. It's a very small place, with 2-3 tables. If you chose to eat in, people waiting to order will be standing right beside your table. The next time I'm in Worcester, I'll definitely come here again! read more

Wow. Yes. Words fail. My partner said this place is a top 5 restaurant for him, and within two bites I agreed. Your first time, you'll want to go for the "everything." Among other things, it includes a banging lo mein, insane vegan mac, several "meats," collard greens, and bizarrely good black beans. Each component blends seamlessly with the others, creating a soul food symphony that somehow doesn't leave you weighed down, but purely and totally content. Thank you to the family behind Belmont! read more

Food is good but over priced. I ordered a small plate of brown rice, curry tofu and greens for $18.85

Incredible vegan lunch!! Split a large brown rice bowl with "everything" with my partners. More than enough for two hungry people. Belmont basically has two menu items - patties and bowls. Bowls are large or small; brown or white rice. Then, you can choose any or all of the vegan options for the bowl. Bowls are served in a foil tray with plastic top - easy to take home and enjoy. Mac n cheese is to die for. Curry is flavorful and not awfully spicy. Loved the pepper steak. Personally don't love collards or cabbage (which is most of steamed veggies) but my partner loved it. I could live without the BBQ because it's quite sweet. Restaurant is really just a take out place. A few booths and tables outside of COVID times. You can call ahead but it takes less than 5 minutes if you order at the restaurant. Literally parking along the steep, busy, snowbanked Belmont St was the only bad part of the experienced. read more

Although their food is good, it's expensive & can't believe they charge so much for their food which is so unfortunate. I didn't care for the herb stems that I found while eating my dish, which is pretty unpleasant to have to pick out of your mouth & not know what it is. I wish they had more less spicy stuff. read more

Looks like a dodgy hole in the wall, but is probably some of the best vegan Caribbean food you will ever eat. Situated in a surprising town, that looks somewhat drab, Belmont might look dodgy, but is not a secret, as the place filled up after we came at lunch time on a Saturday. The place could use some extra hands, as just one man was taking care of serving food, while one was taking orders. They say there is no public bathroom, but will let you use the staff bathroom downstairs. Service is super friendly and accommodating. They have several food options with brown rice or white rice- all are delicious, but especially the saucy fake meat options. I would frequent this place if I were a resident of Worcester. read more

The food here is great. I love that you can just get a platter with everything because I don't live here and I want to be able to try everything. Also, being from WNY, I love a good garbage plate (pasta salad, potatoes, beans, some kind of meat). Being vegan, it is great to get a wide variety of plant-based whole foods that cover all the main food groups - whole gains, greens, beans, macaroni and cheese, and faux meat. Not all casual Caribbean joints have this option to get a scoop of a dozen different things all in one container but I love it when they do. This place gets five starts because the only place better doesn't exist anymore. Highly recommended! read more

The food is actually 100% vegan! Packed with flavor, generous portions, reasonably priced, friendly service. They take Apple Pay, so I could eat even though I forgot my wallet. Heaven on earth! read more

I had never been to this restaurant before, just happened to find it on google maps when I was trying to see what was near my hotel here in Worcester and figured I'd try it out. It's not a fancy restaurant, in fact there are barely any tables and the order window is covered with plexiglass like a gas station. The day's menu is written in chalk on wall and it isn't super obvious what they have exactly, but I took my chances and ordered large size and told the gentleman behind the plexiglass to give me whatever he recommended. He spent a few minutes back in the kitchen scooping up a variety of things and made quite the beautiful mosaic of food. (see photo) Wow, there were a whole bunch of amazing things in my platter, rice, noodles, beans, greens, lots of various super-flavorful vegan meats ... all awesome. It's like an orchestra of flavor and textures. These folks are culinary artists! What an amazing meal, so glad I didn't judge a book by it's cover. Don't let the looks of this place fool you, this is an amazing meal. Take the chance, you won't regret it. read more

Such good food and great service. Love it there! BBQ is great and drinks are delicious.

Amazing food and service. The owner is so nice and helpful, even promoting other vegan establishments. I tried a little of everything, and it was all great. The food is so flavorful and unique compared to other vegan places around. Even my no vegan family loved it and wants to go back, so it is perfect for all sorts of dietary needs. I highly recommend trying it. read more

The food is outstanding and quite consistent in flavor, it never disappoints. Loss of 1 star and a piece of advice for any prospective new folks looking to check this place out: avoid coming here within 1 hour of their closing time as they frequently run out of food so you'll be left picking through the scraps of whatever is left from the day. This is not a ding against the actual owner or employees, just an unfortunate circumstance if you have a lengthy trip to get here expecting delicious food and you arrive to them having nothing left despite being open for another hour (or more). read more

Amazing authentic Jamaican vegan food! It never disappoints. The portion sizes are perfect and the employees are always super friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely incredible food! My wife and I checked this place out a few months back with my mom from out of state, she's not even vegan or vegetarian and was raving about how good the food was. We all got the full plate with everything and every single thing on the menu is delicious and packed with flavor. Please come back!!! I miss you guys!!! read more

Do not be turned away from the appearance, as looks can be deceiving. Stopped in for some tasty vegan eats, and they is exactly what was delivered from the fine folks over at Belmont Vegetarian. I and I ordered a large place with brown rice and a Ting. This was some of the best vegan food I have tried. Flavors were on point, the curry was the standout for me, the seasoning was spectacular. Filling, flavorful, fast. Definitely check out Belmont Vegetarian if you are in the Worcester area, you will not be disappointed. Jah. Rastafari read more

How did I live so long in Worcester without getting takeout here??? Since it was my first time there, they recommended I get the everything assortment. I like trying new things so I said sure, why not. But I honestly didn't think that I would like the vegetarian meats. I was wrong! EVERYTHING IN THE CONTAINER IS F#$@ING AWESOME! You have to go there and order at the window. Everything is already made and they just have to throw it together in a take out container. This is the large container and it could definitely feed 2 people but it's so good you probably won't want to share. read more

This is THE BEST vegetarian food in the United States, hands down. I first stopped here with my friend on a trip up to Maine and it blew my mind. Came back a year later just for the food.

A wonderful and unexpected surprise. I loved this place. Agreed, it's not located in the most glamorous part of town. Agreed, it's small. But the quality and sweet vibes of this place will resonate with you, and I'm not even talking about the reggae music playing in the background. That's just a bonus. I stopped in yesterday on my way to Plymouth and ordered a medium plate of everything and a Snapple -it ran around $15. As the name suggests, this is a vegetarian restaurant. But your taste buds will not miss a beat here. The food is a testament to how amazing a creative cook can be with a vegetarian diet. Flavors of BBQ and curry and pepper steak and stews exploded from my plate. The beans and vegetables and tofu and mac and cheese were so flavorful. I loved the BBQ and curry choices, but really, everything was excellent! Yelp has taught me to trust their ratings, even if a place looks a little sketchy from the outside. I loved my meal here, and totally had a great time, chatting with the friendly owner, looking at the Bob Marley quotes and photos on the wall, and listening to that great music. As Bob said, "You just can't live in that negative way. Make way for the positive day". read more

The food was amazing. So glad we stopped in. They have two sizes of to go foil containers. The smaller one is about $11 and $14 for the larger one. I got a full lg sampler plate and my husband got the large curry. I really enjoyed it. All very flavorful. The curry dish was a bit much with a really soft texture so next time he would mix it up and maybe get the sample. In the sampler I tried the bbq, mac and cheese, greens, quinoa, sweet sour, brown rice, and beans. read more

I needed to write this review a long time ago! I used to come here all the time when I went to WPI, I graduated in 2015. I used to come here with all my friends constantly. The food was AMAZING and still is! My boyfriend couldn't believe it was all vegan. Get the pepper steak, collard greens and curry. But honestly everything is excellent. But nothing can compare to the kindness of the owner, Stephen. I came here so often he used to give us free plates of food to go. When I graduated he gave me a graduation teddy bear, a congrats grad mug and a visa gift card. It was unreal I was so touched. I have never felt so at home at another restaurant. All the staff are so kind and accommodating I always stop by when I am back in woo. I wish I could still come as often as I once did. read more

Very good vegetarian food. I definitely recommend this if you are vegetarian and like taste food.

We do take out at Belmont Vegan Cafe every week for a few years now. So delicious Rasta food and so healthy and prepared with love. The Akee patties and spicy plantain patties are a holiday in your mouth. We just tell Steve to make a plate for us and it is great every time. Always interesting people waiting in line to spark up a conversation too. Highly recommend. read more

Tiny little hole in wall on Belmont Hill... but the food is delicious! And the staff was wonderful! My first time there and they were very helpful. The menu is very straightforward. Something to note: not all vegetarians like the fake meat, so if that is you, stick to the rice, beans, greens, and noodles. Overall, the food was flavorful, delicious, and perfectly prepared. Would absolutely go back! read more

YALL! This place is INSANE! I'm super indecisive and this was my dream set up; medium or large and you get a bit of everything! We tried the beef patty and the kale patty as well (beef was better, but both good) and really loved supporting this black-owned business. Maybe a bit too much rice in the bowl, but that's just because I wanted as much flavoring with the mix ins as possible! But there is also an option to order with no rice with an added fee. Anytime I'm back in Worcester I'll be sure to return. read more
