OH MY GOODNESS, like where do I even begin on the flavors of the dish I got. I got the large ($20) and I got curry, pepper steak, stew mushrooms, mac, collards, and brown rice everything was great! The place is small on the inside which is perfect for me and I almost ate my entire plate in one bite Steven, who I found out through amazing conversation was the owner, was kind, very informative, welcoming, friendly, and answered all of my questions as this was my first time there. I will be back for sure as I am a frequent visitor to the Worcester area.

We do take out at Belmont Vegan Cafe every week for a few years now. So delicious Rasta food and so healthy and prepared with love. The Akee patties and spicy plantain patties are a holiday in your mouth. We just tell Steve to make a plate for us and it is great every time. Always interesting people waiting in line to spark up a conversation too. Highly recommend.

The food is actually 100% vegan! Packed with flavor, generous portions, reasonably priced, friendly service. They take Apple Pay, so I could eat even though I forgot my wallet. Heaven on earth!

YUM! So good! We found this restaurant when searching for vegan restaurants in Worcester, and are so glad we did. It's on a busy street, on a hill, so I'd highly recommend parking on a side street on the restaurant side of the street so you don't have to race across and feel like you are playing a human game of Frogger. The awning also says Velmont instead of Belmont... but you are in the right place! They no longer offer an everything plate, as so many recommended on Yelp, but a large gets you: rice-- brown or white, or quinoa, 2 proteins & 3 sides. It's a LOT of food and it's all DELICIOUS. There isn't an actual menu-- just the price for a medium or a large and how many of each type of item you get with that size. However, when I said it was my first time they pointed to and named all the options. Super duper friendly. It's a very small place, with 2-3 tables. If you chose to eat in, people waiting to order will be standing right beside your table. The next time I'm in Worcester, I'll definitely come here again!

Wow. Yes. Words fail. My partner said this place is a top 5 restaurant for him, and within two bites I agreed. Your first time, you'll want to go for the "everything." Among other things, it includes a banging lo mein, insane vegan mac, several "meats," collard greens, and bizarrely good black beans. Each component blends seamlessly with the others, creating a soul food symphony that somehow doesn't leave you weighed down, but purely and totally content. Thank you to the family behind Belmont!

Incredible vegan lunch!! Split a large brown rice bowl with "everything" with my partners. More than enough for two hungry people. Belmont basically has two menu items - patties and bowls. Bowls are large or small; brown or white rice. Then, you can choose any or all of the vegan options for the bowl. Bowls are served in a foil tray with plastic top - easy to take home and enjoy. Mac n cheese is to die for. Curry is flavorful and not awfully spicy. Loved the pepper steak. Personally don't love collards or cabbage (which is most of steamed veggies) but my partner loved it. I could live without the BBQ because it's quite sweet. Restaurant is really just a take out place. A few booths and tables outside of COVID times. You can call ahead but it takes less than 5 minutes if you order at the restaurant. Literally parking along the steep, busy, snowbanked Belmont St was the only bad part of the experienced.
