Our family are vegetarians and sometimes it is a challenge to find great restaurants that provide delicious meatless fare.
Fortunately, I enjoy cooking and I love creating meatless versions of traditional dishes. I share my recipes on my recipe blog.
However, I really enjoy dining out, and I appreciate knowing in advance whether a restaurant has vegetarian options, other than vegetable soup and a side salad.
There is a fantastic site called VegOhio.com that offers a printed guide to vegetarian-friendly restaurants and stores around Ohio. They also have detailed listings for restaurants, stores, and organizations in our area. We have noticed that some of the restaurant listings are outdated, however, so I would recommend calling ahead.
One of our favorite restaurants is Aladdin's Eatery. They have several locations in Northeastern Ohio and they offer a nice variety of vegetarian food on their menu. The food is fantastic, the environment is cozy, and everything is available for carryout, too!
There are more area restaurants listed on my Cleveland Dining page, too. I try to include the vegetarian options in the descriptions.
I run the Vegetarians Headquarters on Squidoo and I'm also working on a lens called Northeastern Ohio Vegetarians. The goal is to create a useful local guide for vegetarians in our area while attempting to raise money for our local animal shelter.
I'd love to hear suggestions from other vegetarians in our area.

Udupi Cafe in Parma Hts. is totally vegetarian. One of my favorite places to go is Tommy's!
I second the Udupi Cafe. Best Indian cuisine in Cleveland. If you're ever out in Westlake, there's a natural food store called The Web Of Life (on Detroit and Columbia) Inside is a small diner that serves some very, very good veggie burgers.
Thank you both for the suggestions! I look forward to checking these places out!
My favorite restaurant in all of NE Ohio, and my favorite Indian restaurant anywhere, is Jaipur Junction at 9377 Sprague Rd in North Royalton. You bet they have plenty of vegetarian options. It truly is one of the things I miss most about the area. Love it.
