The 30 Best Vegetarian dining in Kingston Upon Thames

“Had a fantastic meal here. The staff were warm and attentive without being pushy, and the food was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were generous and everything came out quickly and fresh, chef Ahmed is very attentive and truly talented. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“We had an incredible experience at this small family-run Lebanese restaurant! The owners were exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delightful dishes. The variety of both meat and vegetarian options allowed us to savor an array of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and fresh, delicious food make it a must-try spot. A gem in the culinary scene!”

“Working away and always go to different Indian restaurants around the country. Hands down the best keema naan I've had in any I've been in. Kashmiri kebab starter very good aswell. If in the area again will always come back. Thankyou”

“A Lovely Spot by the Thames – Kingston Riverside Kingston Riverside is one of my favourite places to unwind in Southwest London. Right by the River Thames, it’s got that perfect balance of lively atmosphere and scenic charm. Whether you’re popping down for a casual stroll, grabbing a coffee, or enjoying a meal by the water, there’s always something quite special about the vibe here. The selection of restaurants and pubs along the riverside is solid — from cosy spots for a pint to more upscale dining. On a sunny day, the outdoor seating areas are buzzing, and the view of the river with the boats gently passing by is just brilliant. It’s also great for walks or bike rides, especially with the Thames Path running through. And with the town centre just a short walk away, it’s incredibly convenient. All in all, Kingston Riverside is a gem — perfect for a relaxed day out or just soaking up some riverside atmosphere.”

“Great German food and beer (Paulaner and Erdinger). We came to see the River Culture Festival, not easy to get a table on terrace (also cannot book a table in terrace - first some first serve), so we sit inside at the beginning but then we eventually got a table. We had currywurst, black forest and apple strudel, Oh my God all are delicious! We definitely will come back one day for beautiful river view on the terrace and the food.”

“I went to Giggling Squid – Kingston upon Thames for my birthday. It wasn’t busy as it was a weekday, and I absolutely loved it! The staff were so polite, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was calm with beautiful décor — lovely colours, chandeliers, and paintings. Everything was very clean and stylish, including the toilets. The seafood dishes were delicious, and although I had the lamb shank which wasn’t my favourite, it was still tasty. Perfect place for nice birthday photos and a great dining experience!”

“Arrived unannounced with 7 people and a dog, and they catered with no questions. GM came over to meet the pooch. Maria was super attentive and our fresh, oven-baked pizzas were out in 7 minutes. A brilliant overall experience for a saturday lunch! Will be back.”

“Very nice Thai food in a slightly quieter street in Kingston. We were the first people in on a Saturday evening, so the service was very prompt and friendly. We ordered Pad Thai, Grilled Chicken and plain Jasmine Rice — along with a Tiger Lager and some Jasmine Tea. Pad Thai was very nice, with not much spice, and they did give you the option to add heat with chilli flakes which were on the side of the plate. The grilled chicken had lovely flavour with nice crispy bits of skin, but the salad was fairly spicy. Definitely recommend if you're into Thai or other Asian cuisines.”

“We had a great mother's Day lunch here. The staff was very accommodating and friendly to our large group with young children. Food has a very homemade feel to it. The seafood tagliatelle was fantastic and so were the cocktails. Rissotto and steak dishes left much to be desired. Nonetheless - overall a good experience”

“I recently had a wonderful takeout experience from Chicken World. The fried chicken was cooked to perfection with a crispy coating and tender meat. The wings were equally delicious, with well-balanced flavors. Every bite was a delightful combination of savory goodness. The owner’s personal touch and friendly service made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Chicken World for their mouthwatering chicken meal that will keep you coming back for more!”

“I was looked after by Paige she was very friendly, making me and my partner feel very comfortable. The food was also amazing I will be coming back.”

“We visited here on a Saturday around 3pm for a celebration dinner. We booked in advance for inside seating. There is outside seating which is perfect on a sunny date as right next to the river. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations for food and drinks. We all opted for three courses, they do have weekend set Menus which is worth a look. All the meals arrived in perfect timing, they gave enough time between each meal so it wasn’t rushed. Everything was cooked beautifully and a really enjoyable meal. We will definitely be visiting again!”

“Wonderful food, the best seabass I have had in a while! Also would highly recommend the festive panettone bread and butter pudding”

“The food was brilliant with lots of vegetarian choices! The waiters Joseph, Othniel and a Turkish girl, provided excellent advice, marvellous service and good conversation. Bravo. Made the whole experience very special.”

“Thank you to the staff for being gracious tonight when one of our party unexpectedly experienced a medical issue. We are very grateful for local places who care about local people. Food was top notch and the service was great. Thanks!”

“Great food, great service. Recommend all locals to try”

“I am really surprised this place hasn't got a higher rating. Delicious food, good service, all well presented. A friend took me for my birthday lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had the mixed starter platter and red curry. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Nicely decorated inside, also has some outdoor seating with great river views.”

“Granth has been amazing!! Yesterday I went on dinner date and it was soo good. I love the atmosphere, food was absolutely amazing and delicious. N served by Granth who is an amazing person and great at his work. Full of recommendations!! Would love to come back again. Thanks for the great evening.”

“Came in for lunch,which was really good and great price. Then found there was a shufl board and had fun playing. Half an hour for £8. Joey was really helpful and friendly. And was really good with all his customers.”

“Team were unable to process my free reward order but went out of way to make it a good experience. Senior management need to support and get their click and collect working! I am staking up rewards here and you are missing out on custom.”

“Good branch of YO!, nice and helpful staff, same system as all the others and with lots of seating including many booths. Food is the standard you expect and a nice option for a lighter lunch…”

“The pizza was great quality, but the wing’s especially were amazing! Due to delayed delivery, they added an extra drink which we really appreciated. They were very friendly and patient on the phone too :)”

“We are sushi lovers and always looking for a great sushi places. This place is very local for us, so we decided to give it a try. As we understood place opened recently, food quality is amazing, lots of ingredient and everything is super fresh! As started we took aubergine (on the photo), just delicious and then we went for rolls only, 4 in total and I cannot tell which one was better, all amazing. Guys, please don’t get worse with the time. Please keep the same food quality. Can’t recommend this place enough and looking forward to come back.. tomorrow ;)”

“Lovely food and the general vibe is very friendly too :)”

“When I got my order I threw out all the other Chinese Menu's I hold. The food was great and the operator listened to my requirements stating my son had a fish allergy. The food came is this very sweet and cute box. I love this place. I will order future Chinese from this company. Thank you”

“Wow!!! This is a fantastic and convenient spot to get sushi whenever you want it. This is because this sushi gourmet place has a large range of options and choice. The choices vary from the simplicity of a Nigiri to salads and big rolls. It has options of small and £10 boxes of nigiri and other sushi rolls and bigger portions of £20 that are more complicated rolls. It has deliveroo as takeaway and delivery service. However, it’s in Sainsbury’s in the centre right at the back of the store. This doesn’t mean that it has a bigger difference on this gourmet style and other Japanese restaurant. It only contains sushi and not brothers or other Japanese dishes as it’s only a Sushi Gourmet. When I go there I always get the nigiri rolls because they’re fresh and simple and also delicious. I’ve also been to other Japanese authentic restaurants and it’s different regarding the taste of the sushi because it’s not a chain but a single restaurant. However it’s not that big of a difference regarding freshness.”

“I visited Bindaas Kingston Restaurant with my family on December 14th 2025, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home—their hospitality was truly outstanding and created a welcoming atmosphere. The food was excellent, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. The menu has a variety of options, and each item we ordered exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Bindaas Kingston Restaurant for anyone looking for great food and a friendly, welcoming place to dine. We will definitely be returning, and I encourage others to visit as well!”

“Delicious food, quick service, central location (hidden away). We’ve had the carbonara, spinach & ricotta ravioli, crab ravioli, black spaghetti with seafood*, lemon & prawn linguine*, black seafood risotto and wild boar ravioli. All were super tasty. Also the feta with honey is so good. Great selection of juices, smoothies, coffee. Delighted to realise Nakos is now open in the evenings for dinner too! And dog friendly. (*see photos). Nakos has become my favourite place to eat in Kingston!”

“Ordered this evening for the first time and wow, even my partner who is Italian agrees it’s one of the best we’ve ever tasted”
