Excellent food!

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)

Pros: All vegan, Variety of proteins and sides, All delicious

Cons: A bit expensive but worth it

So good!!

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!

Pros: Flavors, Homemade juices , Friendly staff

Yummy Jamaican plates!

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.

Pros: Delicious fresh vegan food , Super nice staff, Quick service

Absolutely amazing

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!

Pros: everything

A New England vegan must!

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
still 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!

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.

A definite must for vegans and non-vegans alike!

Pros: 100% vegan!, Great for non-vegans, Lots of options

We always try to get to Belmont Vegetarian when we pass through Worcester. Tasty island food with lots of GF options. Wish there was a Belmont closer to us!

Cons: No bathroom, Not open on Sundays

Delicious

So sooooooo good. Huge portions. I live in the area and I’m always pumped when I can make it there because they do have limited hours. Very worth it.

Excellent food!

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!

Pros: Fabulous vegan options , Friendly Staff, Generous portions

Cons: No cons!

The best of the best

I’ve heard about this place from many friends and I finally went in to try and wowowowow I had high expectations and they exceeded them. The staff was warm and welcoming and the food… It is the best vegan food I’ve ever had. It’s worth the trip!

Ask for a little bit of everything

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.

Absolutely delicious!

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.

Pros: Seasoned to perfection! Generous portions.

Cons: Not the most attractive building/location

Amazing vegan food!!

Small, hole-in-the-wall, 100% vegan takeout. We got the large plate and it was plenty and then some!
With 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

Such at great little restaurant with big plates and amazing flavor! Drove from CT about an hour and a half but it was totally worth it! Had a little bit of everything and it was so flavorful and hit the spot! You literally can eat for two days off the large plate and its still amazing the second day! My Husband and Kids loved it!! Actually headed back up there today and we can't wait!

Pros: Its all vegan! Its delicious! There's big plates! , The staff is super sweet and helpful!

Cons: Absolutely none! The drive is worth it!

Very tasty big sampler plate

I’d highly recommend this Jamaican/bbq influenced restaurant. Greatly tasty flavored proteins. Soul food sides. Well priced for the huge portion sizes. I will certainly be a frequent customer!
