Vegetarian restaurants in Singapore split into two very different worlds: the South Indian thali halls of Little India, and the plant-based, organic cafes scattered elsewhere on the island. The restaurants below have logged over 9,000 Google reviews between them, and every one holds at least a 4.4 average, so the real decision is which style of vegetarian food you're after tonight.
Short answer: Saravanaa Bhavan leads with 4,583 reviews at a 4.6 average, serving South and North Indian vegetarian thalis in Little India. Annapoorna and Yi Xin Vegetarian are close behind on volume, while Eco-Harmony Retail & Cafe posts the highest rating on this page at 4.9 across 531 reviews for its organic, plant-based menu. Expect to pay roughly S$10 to S$30 per person at the South Indian halls and somewhat more at the organic cafes.

Claim this spot › How we score these restaurants
Rating is the live Google average for each business. Review volume measures how many customers have actually left a review, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence combines rating with volume, so a high score built on very few reviews scores lower than one backed by thousands. Recency tracks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.

Vegetarian dining across Singapore
These span Little India (Saravanaa Bhavan, Annapoorna), Chinatown (Yi Xin Vegetarian), Aljunied (Eco-Harmony), and Balestier (Lotus Vegetarian), so whether you’re searching for vegetarian restaurants near me downtown or out toward the east side, there’s a solid option within a short ride.
What to ask before booking a vegetarian meal
- Is the entire menu vegetarian, or only select dishes?
- Are vegan options clearly marked, if that matters to you?
- Is a reservation needed, especially for weekend service or a buffet?
- Does the restaurant serve alcohol or accommodate BYOB?
- Is there a service charge added to the bill?
- What is the wait time like during peak lunch or dinner hours?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How did you choose these restaurants?
We pulled every vegetarian restaurant with a public Google Business Profile in Singapore, then ranked the strongest by rating, review volume, and how recently customers have been reviewing them.
Are all of these restaurants fully vegan?
No. Yi Xin Vegetarian and Eco-Harmony lean vegan, while Saravanaa Bhavan, Annapoorna, and Lotus Vegetarian serve vegetarian menus that may include dairy. Check with the restaurant if strict vegan is a requirement.
Which is best for a group dinner?
Saravanaa Bhavan and Annapoorna both handle larger groups regularly, based on reviewer accounts of family gatherings and celebrations, and Lotus Vegetarian’s weekend buffet is also built for groups.
How often is this updated?
We refresh this page as new Google reviews and ratings come in. It was last verified in August 2026.
The bottom line
For a classic South Indian thali experience, Saravanaa Bhavan is the safe, high-volume default. If you want fully plant-based mock-meat cooking, head to Yi Xin Vegetarian in Chinatown instead. Whichever you pick, ask about the service charge before you order, since several of these restaurants add one automatically.
