Best Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants in Birmingham
Birmingham’s food scene has never been better for vegetarians and plant-based diners.
Whether you’re after a dedicated veggie restaurant, a modern plant-based tasting experience or places with excellent vegetarian options, the city has something for every appetite.
Below are some of the best vegetarian and veggie-friendly restaurants in Birmingham, perfect for mixed vegetarian lunches, dinners or nights out with friends.
1. Land
Land is a sophisticated dedicated vegetarian and vegan restaurant nestled in the Great Western Arcade focused on seasonal, globally inspired plant-led cuisine.
This refined spot is known for creative dishes and an elegant dining experience that pushes vegetarian food beyond expectations, think inventive courses celebrating fresh produce rather than meat substitutes. Reservations are recommended.
Land is perfect for a special vegetarian dinner or first-time plant-based fine dining in Birmingham, but bear in mind it’s not going to be a spot to grab a quick bite!
2. BA-HA Vegan (The Rainbow)
A plant-based dining destination in Digbeth offering bold, flavour-forward vegan and vegetarian hamburgers, Kentucky-style fried mushrooms, drool-worthy vegan mac ‘n’ cheese. BA-HA is well-loved locally for its creative twists on comfort food and modern vegan dishes, with a playful name that reflects its ethos, “food for life.”
If you’re looking for a relaxed meal that will hit that comfort-food spot, then BA-HA is your go-to destination.
3. Lovelife
Of course, you know us, we can’t write a round up without featuring Lovelife, here in Birmingham we’re a great choice for vegetarians looking for Mediterranean-style food with plenty of meat-free options.
Our menu includes a wide range of vegetarian dishes inspired by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours, making it easy to enjoy brunch, lunch or dinner without compromise.
With our relaxed Digbeth location, colourful interiors and sharing-friendly plates, we’re a great place for a delicious meal especially for group meals where not everyone eats the same way.
4. Bundobust
Looking for a casual, fun, spot with a focus on sharing dishes?
Then Birmingham’s branch of the much-loved Indian vegetarian street-food favourite, Bundobust is right up your alley. Bundobust specialises in Gujarati-inspired small plates designed for sharing. The menu is almost entirely vegetarian, with plenty of vegan options, and is paired with a rotating selection of craft beers. Expect bold flavours, creative twists and dishes that feel indulgent without being heavy.
From spiced bhajis and chaat to inventive tacos and comforting mains, it’s a lively, informal spot that works just as well for casual dinners as it does for group catch-ups.
5. Pho - Harborne
Pho Harborne offers a wide-ranging Vietnamese menu with a strong focus on fresh, light and naturally vegetarian-friendly dishes. There’s a large selection of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, all clearly marked, making it an easy choice if you have dietary requirements.
We love the menu full of fragrant pho soups, summer rolls, stir-fried noodles and vibrant salads, all served in a relaxed, welcoming setting that suits both solo lunches and group meals.
6. Dishoom - Birmingham
If you haven’t heard of Dishoom yet, have you been living under a rock? Dishoom isn’t exclusively vegetarian, but it’s widely praised for offering some of the best vegetarian Indian dishes in Birmingham. Inspired by Bombay cafés, the menu features rich vegetarian curries, flavour-packed small plates and comforting sides that never feel like an afterthought.
It’s a popular choice for mixed groups, with vegetarian and vegan dishes that hold their own alongside the meat options, something frequently highlighted by local diners.
Check out this recent Google review if you don’t believe us, “Finally made it to Dishoom Birmingham and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I’d been hearing about it for a long time, reserved it months in advance, and I’m so glad I did.
The service was fast and smooth, and the food was genuinely amazing. The okra fries were outstanding, the chai was comforting and perfect, the roti was spot on.”
7. Hopwood House
Hopwood House manages to combine a traditional pub atmosphere with a dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu, offering more than the usual pub grub!
Expect hearty plant-based mains, vegetable curries and classic comfort dishes that are satisfying rather than tokenistic. It’s a relaxed, welcoming spot that appeals to vegetarians looking for familiar pub food without compromise.
8. Vegdarbar
Vegdarbar is a dedicated vegetarian and vegan Indian restaurant focusing on bold spices, generous portions and comforting flavours. The menu features a wide variety of traditional and modern Indian dishes, all plant-based and designed to be filling and satisfying.
This independent spot is ideal if you’re craving authentic vegetarian Indian food without having to navigate a mixed menu. My personal favourite are the sizzling stirfries, must be tried!
