Huntsville, with it’s long list of bar-b-que joints and meat-centric meals can seem unfriendly to those who have chosen a vegetarian (or vegan) path. Whether you prefer a plant based diet yourself or are wanting to entertain a guest who does, Huntsville has some solid offerings.
My favorite veggie-friendly places meet the following criteria:
A wide selection of vegetarian entrees listed on the menu
Open for lunch and dinner
Delicious food for vegetarians and omnivores
With those criteria in mind, these are my top three go-to places for vegetarian meals in Huntsville.
Beef Thai Cashew at Mei Wei
MEI WEI ASIAN BISTRO
A fast casual restaurant located on University, Mei Wei features dishes from a variety of Asian cuisines. All dishes are made with your choice of protein, including tofu, which makes nearly the entire menu veggie friendly. Do watch for the little hot pepper icons though, spicy dishes are medium to hot, and the symbol can be easy to miss. Meals are available eat-in, carry out or delivery and beverage selections include beer and wine.

Papadums and Dip at Sitar
SITAR INDIAN CUISINE
Indian food is generally veggie friendly, but Sitar has a notably large vegetarian section to their menu and many of the appetizers and soups are plant based as well. The lunch buffet is a great way to try a variety of dishes but the dinner menu allows for more customization. The ambiance is a notch above standard family dining with the paper placemats resting on cloth tablecloths. Both beer and wine are available.
Perfect for:
A meal you can linger over
Hearty appetites (between the buffet at lunch and the large portions at dinner, no one will leave hungry)

Bread Pudding at 1892 East Huntsville
1892 East
With perfect french fries, dreamy bread pudding, and a dedicated vegetarian menu, 1892 is an easy choice for veggie friendly picks. At a price point between family restaurants and fine dining, 1892 offers both a kids menu and a special occasion worthy ambiance. Their commitment to local, sustainable food is evident in everything from the seasonal salads to the locally brewed beer.
