I had the most incredible experience today at Green Leaf Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurant. I'll admit, I was a bit hesitant at first since it seemed quiet around lunchtime. But just as I arrived, another customer reassured me--it turns out he's been coming here for years and couldn't stop raving about the food. From the moment I stepped in, the owner's warm, genuine hospitality completely won me over. I decided to try the protein-rich salad with avocado, jicama, quinoa, kidney beans, tofu, and a mango vinaigrette. I also ordered a fresh carrot-ginger-apple juice and the kale sweet potato quesadilla with pepper jack cheese. Every single bite was unforgettable--fresh and bursting with flavor. I literally found myself closing my eyes just to savor the taste. It truly felt like a little slice of heaven. Thank you Bala for serving delicious, healthy and heavenly food! read more

This is an update. I have been going to Green Leaf now for twelve-plus years. It's still superb. In fact, it's my favorite restaurant. Current favorites include Gobi Manchurian (of course), Buddha Bowl, Caesar Salad with Tempeh, and Seafood Soup. There's more to explore on the menu and I'll be exploring. Thank you, Bala. read more

Came here recently for lunch although I've eaten brunch and dinner here and the food is amazing for all of the meals. The service was very friendly and prompt and there was ample seating available. The vibe here is upbeat and cozy and the seats are very comfortable. The restaurant is also very clean and tidy. I got a crispy chickpea wrap which was essentially a falafel wrap. The chickpea balls were well seasoned and spiced with a fantastic texture. I also loved the creamy sauce inside. Their sweet potatoes are fantastic and are crispy on the outside and soft and luscious on the inside and are lightly salted. Parking is very easy in their lot. read more

I was on a one day trip to the Boston area to do a solo private concert, and while searching for a vegan and/or vegetarian place on my way to the hotel, I found this place. It was quiet and peaceful when I walked in. Only one other table was occupied. I ordered the Rueben with sweet potatoes, and it was extremely delicious--so much so that I ordered another dish to go (the Yucca quesadilla) so that I could have something for later in my hotel room. I highly recommend eating here! read more

Five Stars! Highly recommend this place! Took myself here on Valentine's Day evening and the service was impeccable. He was very efficient, although busy, still super kind, smiling, and overall a warm person. The restaurant so super clean, bright, music was of soft romantic jazz with a tv screen playing love themed ambiance...a nice experience! The food? My God AMAZING! The Gobi Machurian was absolutely wonderful. It's so much food, and I also ordered the sweet potatoes and the can't beat it juice, and even cheesecake my goodness gracious what pleasurable food! I'll be back for sure a many times and I've already told so many people about my experience! Great job, Green Leaf! read more

We wanted a light meal so we ordered 2 salads and a quesadilla. However, the portion sizes were huge, which makes sense given the expensive prices. The food was served in takeout boxes as well, which didn't align with what we expected from the price. It would be nice to have smaller portions for a cheaper cost. The salads were okay, but there was a LOT of lettuce. Would have been nicer to have more toppings instead. However, the quesadilla was really really yummy and the sweet potato filling was cooked perfectly! Like with the salads, we could've done with half the portion. Overall, decent food, but needs some fine tuning. read more

We love this place. The vegan Reuben with a side of sweet potato fries is delicious! This is our go to whenever we are in Framingham.

Great lunch spot for salads. Easy parking and excellent service. Protein salad is a go to. Big fan.

Sometimes it can be tough to find a vegan restaurant with good choices. Green Leaf delivers on every item. I have to admit the sandwiches are a little sloppy but still delicious. You MUST try the Tex Mex Pizza, it is Excellent. Always hot, always delicious. read more

Came in here for Lunch with my parents who were visiting from California! My parents are lactovegetarians. Everything was flavorful and spot on. We ordered the nachos, a Buddha bowl, burrito, and the potato goat cheese pizza. Everything was 10/10 . Did not disappoint read more

The quality of food here is amazing and the owner is very nice, highly recommend to anyone looking for a fresh and healthy food option in the area. read more

You don't need to be a vegetarian or vegan to love this restaurant! The food here is absolutely 5 star quality on any scale and the owner/server/chef is friendly and very talented. The menu is internationally inspired. We began with Gobi (cauliflower) Manchurian, a spectacular dish with a spicy complex sauce bursting with flavors. I then had the Sesame & Cilantro Rice Vermicelli Salad while my dining companions dined on the Yucca Quesadilla and the Butternut Squash Lasagne. Everyone marveled at how fresh and flavorful their entrees tasted. The portions at Green Leaf are very generous and we all ended up bringing home leftovers. The restaurant is informal (disposable (recyclable?) plates and utensils), spacious, clean and tables are nicely spread out. Prices are also quite fair. Thank you Green Leaf for a memorable dining experience! read more

I was in the area this past Saturday and was looking for a vegan place to grab lunch. I found this place on Yelp and immediately went to it. I was pleasantly surprised to find a pretty empty lot on a Saturday as any restaurant where I live (in the Providence area) with vegan options would be full on the weekends. There were plenty of tables to sit at and the set up was such where you had to first order and pay at the counter and then they bring the food out to your table. There was a little of a wait to place our order, but the gentleman who took our order (who I believe may have also been the owner) was very kind and apologized for the wait. We had ordered the Gobi Manchurian and a vegan version of the quesadilla (with tofu scramble). The Gobi Manchurian came out first and it exceeded expectations ! It was packed with flavor and every bite was absolutely delicious. I don't usually care too much for onions and peppers in my dishes, but even the onions and peppers were perfectly sautéed and seasoned in addition to the cauliflower. It was just perfect! 10/10!! Would 100% get it every single time I go there now! I was also pleasantly surprised by the quesadilla. You can tell the chef is the real deal here because he is able to mix all of the ingredients and flavors in the tofu scramble and in the quesadilla so well. The salsa that came with the quesadillas was also delicious. read more

The food was fantastic. I don't know why it was empty. we ordered the tofu Reuben, the Buddha bowl and vegan chicken dish along with BBQ chicken strips, all winners and all vegan. Ambiance wasn't anything special but that's not what we came for. Service was a little on the slow side but more than worth the wait, considering everything was freshly cooked and not just reheated. read more

The food here is incredible- definitely come!! The inly problemnis that they are very slow ...like 30 minutes to get the food. So...when the food comes- it is so good that you forget all about the wait. The tempeh caesar was HUGE...with lovely garlic caesar dressing & olives. Amazing! The tofu ruben is HUGE AND DELICIOUS...juicy ingredients- tofu, avocado, saurkraut, and yummy sauce!! The food is over the top great!!! Yay!!! Probably the best and most fresh tempeh caesar salad I've ever had. Plus the dressing was luscious! The giant portions make this place worth the wait! read more

I just had the most amazing and healthy meal. There were so many delicious sounding choices on the menu. I decided on the bean and sweet potato enchiladas. What a great choice. Absolutely loved it. I could tell from both the entree and the smoothie that the chefs have put great thought into fine tuning the ingredients for flavor and mouth feel. Amazing. read more

Fantastic food! We were extremely impressed by the food here. And that's despite them being so short-staffed when we came here that a single person (Balaji) was cooking and serving. This place blew life alive ( my next best vegan /vegetarian place in MA) out of the water. Every single thing we ordered was delicious : the vermicelli salad, gobi Manchurian , grilled eggplant Parm, etc. Easily the best vegan/vegetarian place I've been too. ( And the whole group of 5 agrees!) read more

Does everything taste as amaaaaaazing as my first meal here?? Got the flavorful and NOT fried eggplant parm sandwich, perfect coffee with almond milk and crazy good sweet potato fries. Really nice space with a chandelier and cheery, warm decor. Friendly staff! Had a hard time deciding since the menu had so many amazing items. Largest listing of dairy-free desserts I've ever seen. I went with the Hot Chocolate Soufflé with vanilla ice cream. Now I know where I'm coming for my birthday! I'll be back. read more

Came around noon, and the place was pretty empty--there were only one other couple. Parking was readily available. The food came out relatively quickly (15 mins). It was tasty and well-seasoned! Big portions too. It was a little hard to eat the tofu Reuben without the insides spilling out, but that's what forks are for! Would return. read more

The last few times I have been to Green Leaf, the food has been as phenomenal as ever. I especially love the Crispy Chickpea Wrap, the Buddha Bowl and the French Lentil Soup. I really like the flavor of their smoothies, but the of the past three times I ordered them, they came room temperature. I wish they used frozen bananas or added ice to them. The last time I ordered the Magnesium Rich smoothie, though the flavor was great, the temperature was so unappetizing that I brought it home and used it to make banana bread. read more

Loved the Mediterranean omelet! We were pleasantly surprised with how good the food was when we visited the area. read more

I haven't visited Green Leaf in person yet, but I've ordered from them on UberEats several times and I really love this place. Especially the quesadillas. I've tried both the yucca quesadilla and the sweet potato quesadilla, and both are absolutely incredible. They are so stuffed with veggies that I don't think it even counts as a quesadilla anymore...maybe more like a grilled burrito? I don't know, and I don't care, it's amazing whatever it is. And there's so much food...it's easy to have leftovers for another meal. The sweet potato wedges that come as a side with some of their other dishes are also amazing. I haven't seen any of the desserts other reviews have raves about on UberEats, so I guess I'll need to visit in person to try those. Hopefully we can make it there soon! read more

My friend was a vegetarian so I picked this place to meet up with him for lunch. It wasn't crowded and the food came out at a good clip. Interior was comfortable enough, colors were soothing, looks better on the inside than outside. We both decided it was a place we could see going back to. We shared the falafel and gobi Manchurian appetizers. They are honestly lunch size portions. 8 Falafel served on lettuce with a sauce on the side. They were good. I found the Gobi Manchurian (cauliflower) really tasty, and what I took home didn't last the afternoon. We both got the Tofu Ruben. It was worth trying and interesting, but I'd try something else next time. Got the salad for a side (comes with it), it was a nice and good size mixed lettuce and spinach salad with assorted veg on top. The decaf Coffee was also worth drinking. You put this place in a busy location with a nice exterior and it would be much more popular ! read more

this place is absolutely fantastic!! i stopped by while travelling & had the falafel & sweet poe fries, which both were hands down the best I've ever had! I love that basically their entire menu is gluten free in addition to being vegan & the use organic ingredients i can't wait to return & try so many more things on the menu! I love it here oh and the portions are plentyyy! I thought theyd be much smaller and was thrilled to have extra read more

I have no idea how this place has so many stars. Are you all not familiar with good food or what?? I'm a vegetarian of 35 years and this place was not it. We went today and not a human was in sight. The decor is trippy but I didn't even care at this point because I was hoping the food would be good. Well, spoiler alert...it wasn't. The gentleman working at the register greeted us and gave us two menus. We ordered soon after. Then he disappeared for 45 minutes. I am not kidding. I was looking at their clock. We didn't get water or any update on when the food would arrive. Nothing. I thought I was on a tv show testing my patience. Then the gentleman comes back gives my husband appetizers that was not warm and walks away. Doesn't say the rest of our order is coming. Basically like I'm a ghost to him, no acknowledgement that I was even a guest. So I stare at my husband as he ate and he quickly noted it was ok. Not great. I have no idea what he did back there for 45 minutes because what he brought out eventually was not cooked that day. I wanted to leave this minute but I was so hungry and desperate so we waited another 10 minutes or so before he returned with my Buddha bowl and my husbands soggy sandwich. I had two bites and immediately knew the ingredients were old. I threw the entire plate of food away and my husband threw away 90% of his. We left. Not once did anyone check on us or even refill waters. I wish I could get this hour or more of my life back. Life and money. Absolutely horrible service and food. Never again. They'll have to pay me to even think about them again. On the ride home, we had to stop somewhere for real food. Save yourself. Don't make the mistake we did. read more

On our way to CT, we stopped at this restaurant. The soup and smoothie were fantastic, made with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend!

We have had two great takeout experiences from Green Leaf! Their takeout portions are huge, so if you aren't big eaters, I would suggest potentially splitting a meal. They are also very allergy conscious and everything is clearly labeled on the menu (e.g. gluten free, soy free, etc). So far, we've tried the Buddha Bowl, Grilled Eggplant Parm Sandwich, and the Crispy Chickpea wrap. All were delicious and the sandwiches came with sweet potato "fries". Really just chunks of sweet potato that taste lightly fried and come with a tasty BBQ-esq sauce. Value is great and the flavor combinations are always memorable. read more

Lots of variety and friendly staff. Healthy food with good flavor. Wish it were closer to my home!

The food is really good. But I found it a bit pricey for what you get. You order at a counter. And then you pick up your food when they call you. Every thing is served in a take out box. And then you bus your own table. No water available if you don't order a beverage. And they have the nerve to have a tip jar on the counter. The food was really good. I loved my portobello panini. And my side house salad was pretty big and really fresh. My companion had the tofu Reuben. Neither of us left a drop of food in our box. With the lack of service, I feel like the prices should be about 2-3 bucks cheaper. read more

Absolutely unbelievable how amazing all three dishes we shared were. We ordered the Sesame & Cilantro Rice Vermicelli Salad, the Creamy Baked Artichoke Spinach Dip & the Veggie Burrito. In all cases we used Daiya cheeses and all vegan ingredients. Helpful staff and fantastic food. Coming from an extensively vegan-friendly city like Austin it is sometimes challenging to find places that cater to vegans. We will be making our way through their menu on our weekly date nights!! read more

Couples disclaimer: decor was alright (could be updated), seems like small working staff. Cant speak for service as our party was there near closing. Food and beverage 10/10 for my party of 7. Most of them are indian aunties who love indian food but loved this restaurant as it was very vegetarian friendly. I ordered the barbecue wraps with sweet potato and my partner ordered the beet burger. I've also had their beet juice. Large portions for the price so it's a deal and food was not that oily. Food tasted fresh. Highly recommend the gobi manchurian. It is more of a order at the register and wait for your food. Plates and cutlery same Eco friendly additionally disposal of garbage was environmentally conscious. read more

I came to Green Leaf at the recommendation of a friend, and I am neither a vegetarian nor a vegan, but I'm never afraid to avoid meat, so I figured why not. WOW, am I glad for this recommendation!!! My sister and I shared two sandwiches, the fried chickpea wrap and the grilled eggplant parm, and they were both deLIcious, warm, flavorful, and generous. The sweet potato fries were awesome, too. I highly recommend!!! read more

On busy Route 30 in crowded Framingham, you'll find this home to vegan and vegetarian food. It's a nicely designed space, with an open kitchen, green and orange paint on the walls, and plenty of tables and chairs that are generously spaced apart. The menu is incredibly ambitious, and reminded me of what you find on some of those big tri-fold menus you find in the Chinese Take-Out places you've seen your whole life. So many choices! Three soups. Eleven salads for $10 or $11. How good does the Roasted Buckwheat And Butternut Squash Salad sound? "Roasted Buckwheat, Spinach, Organic Swiss Chard,Roasted Butternut Squash,Topped with Spicy Almonds, Tossed with Citrus Vinaigrette. (GF) (Vegan) $ 10.99". Nine appetizers including some real interesting ones like Gobi Manchurian chickpea flour battered cauliflower, quinoa fritters, and cashew sesame tofu. The entrees will get your attention, and they have a lot of them -13 for lunch ($12-15), 15 for dinner ($13-$18), and 20 for brunch ($9-12). Ever crave a Tofu Reuben, or a Grilled Yucca Quesadilla, or Chipotle Soy Chicken and Poblano Fajitas, or Tempeh Chimichurri, or an Oyster Tofu Scramble, or Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Pancakes, or Cinnamon Walnut Fig Waffles? You can veg out on all of them here. I stopped for lunch on Monday and ordered the Chipotle Citrus Tacos - "Cilantro lime quinoa, Mango goji salsa, Chipotle Tofu served with grilled corn tortilla (Vegan) (GF)" for $11.99. The dish looked great -go judge for yourself. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/green-leaf-vegetarian-and-vegan-restaurant-framingham?select=F4C0NpbprIQSIRljBorDSA It was two very good corn tortillas piled high with a tasty flavored quinoa, a sweet mango salsa, and a slice of tender frilled tofu. It was very, very good. Bottom line? If you are in the market for some higher end vegetarian fare, you'll like Green Leaf a lot. I liked my lunch, but had a nagging feeling that the value wasn't there for me. As some reviewers have mentioned, it's expensive here. Want an example? Well their soup is $5.25 a cup and they charge $2.99 for iced tea. Their appetizers are ten or eleven bucks each. My lunch was those $12 tacos and that $2.99 iced tea. After tax, the bill topped out over $16 and that was just too much for what I received. As a comparison, I went to 21 Oak in Manchester, CT(also vegetarian) a few weeks ago and ordered a fabulous Banh Mi for just eight bucks. Green Leaf is a terrific choice if you're in the area and are looking for vegetarian or vegan food. Their menu is amazing and the food is quite good. Just be prepared for the pricing. Oh, one more thing, my Yelp check-in rewarded me with a "Carrot Top" badge! read more

This hideaway little gem of a restaurant serves an amazing selection of delicious vegetarian meals. I had the Buddha Bowl for lunch and the spicy roasted chickpeas were wonderfully flavorful, the texture of the grain mix was perfect, and the portion size was generous (I took home enough for another meal). Also want to mention how gracious and helpful the staff person was (I suspect it was the owner). Any time I'm in Framingham, this is where I'll go to eat for sure! read more
