I became a full‑time vegetarian in 2016 — after being a part‑time vegetarian for years 🙂. While many non‑vegetarian restaurants in Delhi serve vegetarian dishes, some food lovers prefer dining exclusively at vegetarian restaurants for peace of mind and consistency.If you’re looking for the best vegetarian restaurants in Delhi, here are my top picks based on my personal visits, food quality, and overall dining experience.
1. Sagar Ratna – Consistent Quality & Courteous Service
- Serving: Authentic South Indian & North Indian vegetarian meals
- What do you get: Excellent food, clean and pleasant ambiance, courteous staff
- I have visited Sagar Ratna at more than five different locations and found the same high standard and discipline across all outlets.
- They have comfortable seating arrangements and never compromise on quality.
- I once politely mentioned that my instant coffee wasn’t served hot, and was pleasantly surprised when the staff promptly replaced it with a freshly made, piping‑hot cup.
2. Saravana Bhavan – Flavorful Food with a Different Vibe
- Serving: South Indian vegetarian delicacies
- What do you get: Delicious food, quick service.

- Most of the time little crowded which makes the place more enjoyable.
4. Kaleva, Gole Market
- Specialties: North Indian vegetarian meals, snacks, sweets with no garlic or onion as they told me
- Why I recommend it: Neat and clean space, good food, extensive sweet options. They offer option for quick meal on large stand and eat tables as well as relaxed meal in a separate joint, which is in the same line.
