We've ordered takeout from The Lime multiple times and it's always great, but last night really stood out as awesome. The food was ready in the 15 minutes that they said on the phone, and everything is packed up with care. I really appreciate how they give you little pats of butter with the warm fresh baked bread. I always love their salmon - tried the Cajun salmon for the first time and it was delicious. The pineapple mango sauce really balanced out the spicy. A little neighborhood gem! read more

Picked up their highly touted Blackened Chicken sandwich to go with...was tasty and fresh. Pick up order and pickup pleasant and well executed. read more

The Lime Restaurant - Blacked Chicken Roll/Wrap - New American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I developed a food allergy and this restaurant could not adjust any of their meals to accommodate for it. I couldn't order anything. :(

The coziest little restaurant that gives the essence of nostalgia and a home cooked meal. The absolute friendliest service that clearly takes pride in their food. You can tell that the salmon and produce are high quality and fresh. The blackened chicken wrap was refreshing and delicious. My mom always ordered the Salmon Chipotle because it's consistently amazing and never overcooked!! Bread is homemade and warm (even takeout). And the desserts are always the best way to end the night. We will be back :)) read more

Small hole in the wall restaurant close to Valencia a Mexican restaurant my office frequents. We were excited the menu had vegan options and decided to give it a try. We started out with a nacho appetizer - the chips were stale and all of the beans were at the bottom of the container making it difficult to get a good scoop. My one co worker had the California burger and let me know the ingredients were fresh but lacked much of the flavor. The other coworker had Malibu chicken roll up and had the Same problem as the nachos. All the salad was on top while the chicken was at very bottom and lacked flavor. I had the Malibu chicken salad which was good the honey mustard dressing was very flavorful and chicken was tender. The staff was kind The inside is a bit dark and dingy looking and very tight space Parking is street only and it's a very busy street They do take credit cards We won't be back as the office had a stomach ache after eating read more

I've been ordering food from the Lime for at least 25 years. It has always been good until tonight. My husband picked up our order for a Zucchini Loaf with cheese and Salmon Dijonnaise. The zucchini loaf was so salty it was inedible and the salmon sauce was only Dijon mustard. I called and spoke to Susan who told me that it was me.... Very, very disappointed as the Zucchini Loaf has been a favorite of mine. Susan didn't care, U was floored. I really miss Lisa and the former owner! read more

I had one of the worst customer service experiences at Lime Restaurant recently, and I'm deeply disappointed--especially since I've been a loyal customer for years. I stopped in for a carryout veggie burger, something I've ordered many times before. From the moment I asked whether the veggie burger was still on the menu, the person behind the counter--possibly the owner--responded with obvious irritation. He repeated three times, in a rude and dismissive tone, that the veggie burger was indeed on the menu. It was clear from the start that he had no interest in serving me. Despite the attitude, I went ahead and placed my order. Later, I asked for one extra container to keep the pita separate and prevent the sandwich from getting soggy during my hour-long drive home. His response? "That'll be 50 cents." Not the charge that bothered me--it was the tone and the unnecessary comment that followed: "I've never had anyone ask for an extra container." That statement, coupled with his attitude, was enough for me to walk out. It was obvious he would rather lose a customer than accommodate a simple, reasonable request. The interaction felt dismissive and demeaning, and frankly, I left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. This was never about 50 cents. It was about basic respect and decent service--something every customer deserves, especially one who has supported your business for years. read more

The blackened chicken roll up never misses! I love coming here when I want something healthier, but I always leave satisfied and full. Service is very tentative and friendly. Super cute and homey inside. 10/10 read more

Stopped here on a trip down the East Coast, and all in all a wonderful experience. Knowledgeable and kind service, the falafel appetizer was delicious and included the most moist falafel I had ever had, and for a vegan spot they had a dang good chicken wrap.

Wonderful food! I really love the vegetarian burger. So good. Will always to there!

This is an incredible restaurant with great service and wonderful food. Chicken was incredible. Go here! Such a nice ambiance.

One of my favorite places to order lunch from. When I worked down the street I would eat here two times a week! The falafel appetizer is one of the best. You definitely need to try it! read more

Arrived at restaurant with a service dog. Showed the badge to the manager, Patrick, who looked at my friend and said she wasn't blind and didn't have a visible disability so we couldn't stay. He was ignorant and rude and I'm pretty sure in violation of the American Disability Act. I asked to speak to the owner and he just told me the owner was not available. I tried to reason with him quietly but he was adamant that this dog could not be in the restaurant. Even the customers were confused and irritated. One customer said we should leave a review and recommended other nearby restaurants to try. Would never go back into this restaurant. read more

FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC! My partner, who is pescatarian, and I came here for a late lunch as our first visit. The selection was stellar, the flavor combinations well curated, and the sauces were really special. Small, quaint, and unpretentious local eatery with great vegetarian options and attentive but unobtrusive service. Super low key and just pleasant. Try the Satay Falafel for a new twist on two old favorites together. read more

The Lime Restaurant is located in Norwalk CT @ 168 Main Street They have amazing vegan and non vegan options. Pictured is the vegetarian black bean chili. When I tell you it was amazing!!! We weren't missing any meat at all. Seasoned to perfection and the cheese melted gracefully in the chili. The sour cream and chips were just enough to polish the bowl. Y'all know I was looking for more right ..lol. But you know greedy old me had to get the blackened chicken wrap. The wrap is overstuffed with the best blackened chicken that I've tasted. It's good to know that The Lime isn't stingy with the meat. If you're ever in the area stop by The Lime. You won't be disappointed. #blackbeanchili #vegetarianchili #chili #blackenedchickenwrap #blackenedchicken #thelimerestaurant #veganfood #veganoptions #foodie #FoodBlogger #foodvlogger #foodporn #hyefeliciaeats #foodreview #restaurantreview #reviews read more

It's been quite a few years since I've been to The Lime and I'm so happy after all this time, that I've refound it. It's still as quaint as it always was and the delicious healthful menu options made from scratch were simply outstanding. Certainly one of the best meals I've had in a while. Open for 40 years now, The Lime, has stood the test of time in a very competitive Fairfield County market. We shared the Falafel Sate appetizer, I had the vegan split pea soup and the Grilled Salmon Dijonnaise. All super yummy and filled with amazing flavor. The bread (vegan) was so good, we bought a loaf to take home with us. The servers were not only charming, but appear to find delight in making our experience so welcoming, there would be no reason not to want to come back. Cheers to the next 40, we will see you again soon. read more

The Lime Restaurant - Vegan Loaf of Bread - New American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

This would win my award for worst meal in Fairfield County, or perhaps any county...ever. I wasn't crazy about it 10 years ago, but it was the only place open when we needed lunch and both of our meals were inedible. Service help didn't want to hear about it, but it was THAT bad I had to say something. Awful, old, rotten smelling cantaloupe served on top of the meals. I am actually getting nauseated thinking about the meal, forgive me, have to stop here. read more

Food was great, service was exceptional. Lots of vegetarian options. Highly recommend, I'll definitely come again next time I'm in the area.

The "veggie burger" salad was terrible. It is not a typical veggie burger, it is a patty made of their quinoa salad. It tasted like a cooked rice patty with no flavor. I was looking forward to trying this and ended up disappointed, threw it away. read more

So delicious! This is a great place to come for a nice health meal - you know the ingredients are so fresh. They have fantastic wraps and huge salads. They don't skimp on the portions and the prices are right - expect wrap/salad to be $10-12, totally worth it. While this is not the place to come to get a greasy burger and fries or a large pizza, it's the best spot I've found for a healthy lunch. They even add avocado for free, awesome! They typically have a homemade iced tea and it's so good! They also offer basic beer and wine, which is nice on occasion. Small location - few seats and can get noisy when it's full, but you can catch them at an off time and have a relaxing lunch! read more

The food may be good, but the staff/manager is a jerk, and not interested in whether a diner may have food allergies. My wife handed him a list of her allergies - he refused to take it from her and and asked "what would I do with that?". Maybe give it to your chef to review? Jerk. read more

Amazing selection and service for a large family lunch with outoftowners visiting. We had a vegetarian in tow and this place had something for EVERYONE! Including the kids 9 years, 5 years, and 2 years old. Get them the chicken and rice.. My picky 5 year old ate ALL of it. And it's in bite size pieces. I cannot recommend this place enough. AND, they have awesome coffee. I was shocked at how wonderful the experience was. Bravo. read more

Do you like humus? If yes, they have excellent homemade humus. And a huge humus platter with lots of veggies and pita (you can get extra veggies and no pita if you ask). If no, you must try it here; will change your mind. Portion is large; perfect for sharing. Everything is fresh. Veggies, fish. Grilled salmon salad and the Asian salad are my favorites. Service is very friendly. It's a small place & gets crowded, so come prepared to be close to your neighbors. read more

I love this place. Great for finding vegetarian/vegan takeout options. I've gotten the zucchini loaf and the quinoa loaf, and both are really great. The bread that comes with everything is also stellar. read more

Very disappointed in the fact that their Lime Salad has practically shrunk to the size of a side salad. It doesn't even fill the container it comes in, which again is smaller then ever, and the price has gone up. I can understand the increase in price, but not how small it's gotten, not to mention there is barely any ingredients in it. I've ordered this for years and am really disappointed-- not sure it's worth ordering anymore. read more

The Lime Restaurant - It's not even half full... . Too bad because used to be one of my favorites - New American Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I've been going to the The Lime for over a decade and I've never had a bad meal. I was initially concerned when I heard that there would be a new partner helping to run the business. I just had dinner there tonight (10/28/21) and had the opportunity to meet Patrick. He is a lovely man and the food is as wonderful as ever. You cannot go wrong eating there in house or as takeout. read more

The salmon Dijonaise is one of the best salmon dishes ive ever had. Cant wait to eat it again

Ordered food 1/30/21. Absolutely loved their vegetarian options. Got the food home and oh boy.. what a disappointment. The wraps apparently have rice in them and it's supposed to be crunchy, but was hard as rock. We landed up wasting 3 orders. The black bean quesadilla was swimming in cheese with a horrible after taste. Called up the restaurant and spoke to the lady who takes orders and tried to explain, totally unhelpful. She said rice was supposed to crunchy.. YES I DO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRUNCHY AND STONE HARD. Sooo disappointed. read more

Been going to Valencia's for the last 10+ years, always thought that I'd like try Lime, and finally did. They're located just a couple businesses down from Valencia. Parking is fairly limited, I snagged the last spot in the small lot behind the restaurant. Otherwise your options are a few on the side street or on the busy street out front. The inside is fairly small and cozy. It can get a bit cold with people coming in and out, but the traffic slowed after 7:30pm, so worked out ok. Also by the looks of the number of cars out front and in the lot, they do a lot of sales with Grubhub and Ubereats. Great choices of food dishes from meat to vegan. I decided to go vegan. Had the black bean burrito with rice and veggies, along with a salad with tahini dressing. Everything was very good. read more

I have been going to The Lime since 2006. Don't let the outside fool you, the food, which leans toward healthier fare, is terrific. I can honestly say that I have never had a bad meal there in all of these years and I go to The Lime often. I was relieved that the restaurant survived Covid and a change in ownership. And I was thrilled that the new owner kept the well-loved recipes that have made The Lime a favorite. The only downside in recent years has been the diminished portion size of the salad that comes with the main dinner entrees and having to ask for the fresh baked bread, which always used to arrived without fail. Regardless, I'd still give The Lime a solid A. read more

Completely unexpected, situated in Norwalk and next to a more famous restaurant, this place has something for everyone. We wanted to try some vegan options and the Lime had 5 vegan entrees and many vegan appetizers and organic beer. Dont worry you want steak or an excellent seafood menu, they have that as well. Very generous portions and very reasonable prices, we will be back! read more

Lime Restaurant has been around since 1979 and there's a reason why... they serve good healthy food. We stopped by for a late lunch today and ordered 2 different Roll-Ups. ** Not sure I can justify spending $28 (incl tip) for 2 lunch wraps. ** ~Roast Turkey with Cranberry Dressing (11.95) - I loved this wrap. The house roasted turkey was moist, the veggies crunchy and the creamy cranberry dressing was really good. ~ El Miguel (10.95)- Roast Turkey, avocado, cheese and chipotle sauce. Also very good. They both came with a very small side of cold brown rice salad that was bland and forgettable. read more

Ive been at The Lime many times over the years and always find something new and exciting on the menu to choose - I think last time I had a memorable veggie lasagna. I cant think of many other vegetarian restaurants in Fairfield County that have been around as long as the Lime and that are consistent in the quality of the food and service when I have been there. Their menu always has lots of choices for vegetarians and even some for people who aren't veg - so its easy to go to with your non-vegetarian friends. Dinner did seem to be a bit on the expensive side for what you got though - But stll i do highly recommend it for people who like natural and organic foods and are in the area - its very easy to get to, not far off i95 and the i95 to danbury connector road and route 7. read more

Found Lime via Yelp* and what a find it was. Fierce, fabulous and fresh! Service was friendly and we felt like we were lunching in someone's eclectic living room. My husband, a self proclaimed burger and fries guy, ordered the Blacked Chicken Pita and, no lie, laying in bed 8 hours later was still raving about it. I started with the Gazpacho. It was crunchy, spicy and refreshing on a 100 degree day. Awesomeness in a bowl! I then moved to the Lime Salad. So crisp and a great cool down from the runny nose peppery high of the gazpacho. If you are looking for french fries, you won't find them here. The standard side dish here is delicious crunchy brown rice and a slice of seasonal fresh fruit. Ours happened to be ripe cantaloupe. There is a kids menu but it will be given to you verbally, just ask. read more
