The best lunch in central Mass - Edit
Belmont Vegetarian hasn’t changed much over the years, and honestly, it doesn’t need to. Every single thing I’ve eaten there has been great.
Read moreThe premise is extremely simple: choose a medium or a large plate and fill it up with a select number of items from the menu. The barbecue, seiten, mac & cheese, and sautéed veggies are always favorites of mine. Everything is seasoned well and very, very filling. If we have to drive near Worcester, we always look forward to a stop here.
In fact, I would say this is probably a favorite pitstop of Massachusetts vegetarians in general. I’ve run into friends from my hometown (over an hour away) at Belmont, doing the same thing as me: filling up on predictably great food with minimal fuss at a fair price.
Pros: Everything is delicious and hot, Simple and fast, Owners are clearly dedicated to veganism
Cons: Not an interesting neighborhood - just a pit stop

Everything is good - Edit
Went toward the end of the day, all their dishes were starting to run low and everything still looked amazing. If you’re nearby, it’s worth the pit stop. Really hearty and flavorful.

Excellent food! - Edit
We loved the combination of flavors—I got the curry potatoes and BBQ with collard greens, chickpeas, and vegetable stew. My partner got the pepper beef and curry, greens, steamed vegetables, and noodles. So much delicious food! Enough for two meals ( we got the large size)

So good!! - Edit
If you can't decide on what to get, ask for a combo platter of everything! Loved it all! The protein dishes, the greens, the mixed veggies were delicious, and that homemade sea moss juice is just over the top bonus. I'm rarely in Worcester but I will definitely be dropping by next time I am. I didn't catch the names of the guys working there today, but thanks for also being so nice!

Yummy Jamaican plates! - Edit
We stopped in a bit before closing time and we were offered to have a sampler plate made up of a little bit of everything which made me so happy! I was so hungry and ready to try it all and was relieved not to have to make any decisions about which protein and which two sides to choose. Everything in the plate was so delicious, fresh and perfectly seasoned. I think my favorite protein was the curry chicken and my favorite side was the mac n cheese but it was ALL so good that I ate the entire plate clean. We'll definitely be back next time passing through Worcester.

Absolutely amazing - Edit
Legitimately some of the best food I have ever eaten in my life, vegan or otherwise. Every single person I have brought here has raved about how good the food is, and most of them were not vegan. Every menu item is made with care and so much flavor is cooked into every bite. I’ll never stop talking about how incredible Belmont Vegetarian is to anyone who will listen - Worcester has an absolute gem with these people and this place and I hope it survives for years to come. You will not be disappointed!

A New England vegan must! - Edit
I found myself in Worcester yesterday and searched for vegan food online and found Belmont Vegetarian among others listed. After seeing several pictures of dishes I decided to go! And I’m glad I did! Belmont Vegetarian (where everything is vegan) was delicious and in heaping portions. There’s a smaller (but
Read morestill big) container for only $17 and change and a giant container (which I obviously got) for $19 and change. I got BBQ, mac n cheese, rice , beans, and chickpeas, and some sweet n sour steak. They also make their own delicious juice with sea moss. I got watermelon. The place is set up for takeout mostly with only 2 dining tables. the only negative thing was there’s no bathroom. Definitely worth the drive from NH!
Pros: Amazing Jamaican/BBQ food, Giant portions, Friendly knowledgeable staff
Cons: No bathroom

Even the non-vegans loved it! - Edit
We were in town for a wedding and needed some lunch to bring back to the AirBNB. 1 Vegan and 6 non-vegans ventured there. Everybody loved it! The protein choices were a huge hit. BBQ “ beef”, pepper “steak”, and sweet & sour “beef”. The portions are large and come with rice and different sides like Mac & “cheese”, lo mein, veggies, and collard greens. We also tried the “chicken” pastry.
Read moreA definite must for vegans and non-vegans alike!
Pros: 100% vegan!, Great for non-vegans, Lots of options

Excellent food! - Edit
Hubby and I stopped here on 7/30/22. Staff asked if it was our first time, and then kindly reviewed the menu and our options. We ordered the large sized meal and it was plenty for the two of us to split. The BBQ bits were so tasty, as was the mac & cheese. We did sit at one of the two tables. Absolutely our new go to spot when we are in Worcester! Thank you Belmont!

Ask for a little bit of everything - Edit
Little hole in the wall with food that you will CRAVE. Completely vegan and absolutely delicious. If you ask for a bit of everything, they'll turn your meal into a sort of sampler platter for the same price. Outstanding. Limited seating available, but you can always take it to go for a nice picnic at Green Hill Park or down by the water.

I got a plate with a sampling of everything on the day's menu. Perfection! And it was so much food! (I got a large.) The vegan beef patty was also delicious. This was my first time visiting, and I already can see that this will be a regular spot for me.

Amazing vegan food!! - Edit
Small, hole-in-the-wall, 100% vegan takeout. We got the large plate and it was plenty and then some!
Read moreWith the large plate, we got a little of everything and brown rice but you can opt for white rice. No rice is a $2.00 charge. We have pepper “steak”, chick’n curry, BBQ beef, collard greens, black beans, veggie stew, man n cheez, pickled cabbage (delicious!), sweet/sour curry or something. I should have taken a picture of the board.... whatever they gave me, every single item was great. We also ate a Jamaican beef patty that was super flaky and savory. They had other patty options like pumpkin, lentil, veggie, and chick’n at $4.75 a pop. Worth it!
Any time I go through Wormtown (Worcester Mass) I’ll be stopping here.
Pros: 100% vegan, LARGE PORTIONS , Black-owned business
Cons: No parking, Busy street
