A dear friend recommended this restaurant, and I’m so glad I took her advice. Although I’m not a vegetarian, I’ve always been curious about jackfruit, so I ordered the Jackfruit Barbeque Sandwich, while my friend chose the Organic Fall Paella. Wow!!! The sandwich was amazing—rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying—and the side salad and fries were just as impressive. I also sampled my friend’s paella, which was equally delicious and beautifully balanced.
What really sets this place apart is the quality of the ingredients. Unlike many restaurants that rely on a single, often mediocre supplier due to supply-chain pressures, Greenfare clearly prioritizes fresh, high-quality produce. I was genuinely surprised by how vibrant and flavorful even the side salad was.
I completely forgot to take a photo of the Organic Red Bean Lava Cake, but it deserves special mention. It was absolutely sublime—warm, comforting, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. An ideal dessert for a cold day, and one I highly recommend.
To top it all off, the service matched the quality of the food. We were welcomed warmly, like guests in someone’s home, and never felt rushed. It was a relaxed, genuinely pleasant experience from start to finish. I’ll definitely be returning.

As a doctor with a strong interest in nutrition and public health, I came here with a big group of people and we all loved the food and the educational events organized here.
I’m traveling, but if I lived in DC, this would be my go to place!

10/10, highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic vegan, plant-based restaurant, and I’m so glad I did! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed, creating a perfect setting to enjoy a meal. The menu is both innovative and diverse, offering a variety of mouthwatering options that go beyond the usual plant-based fare.
The dishes are packed with fresh, wholesome ingredients, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every recipe. I had the pleasure of trying several items, and each one was bursting with flavor and creativity. It’s rare to find a place where you can truly taste the quality of the ingredients and the passion of the chefs.
Additionally, the restaurant features a curated selection of ‘Food as Medicine’ books, which is a great touch for anyone curious about the health benefits of plant-based eating. It’s clear this place is not only focused on great food but also on promoting overall well-being.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to explore or enjoy plant-based meals that are both nourishing and delicious. Can’t wait to come back!

I have had numerous dishes at this restaurant over a period of years and they have all been delicious. Their head chef, Pericles, does an amazing job composing healthy and delicious meals using organic, whole plant ingredients. During my recent visit to the area, I tried the bbq jackfruit sandwich plate and it was delicious. I recently participated in the restaurant’s 21 day kickstart program, where we were able to sample 42 different meals. They were all excellent, and they weigh 1 pound each so they are very filling. I had many favorites–too many to list– but among my top choices were the fettuccine Alfredo, the Indonesian collards, the mushroom risotto, the Thai quinoa, and the tuna-less casserole. I enjoyed them so much that I ordered several meal plans to take home with me when I left the area. If you’re driving to Herndon, I highly recommend you throw a cooler into the car so you can take home a batch of these when you leave. If you live within an easy drive of Herndon, Virginia – – lucky you!

Fantastic food with enormous portions. Not a quick dining experience, which is fine given the quality. It’s so hard to find vegan food which isn’t greasy, highlights veggies, and fills you up. This is my go-to whenever in town! A delightful bonus to also find gluten free desserts made without cane sugar 🙂

As a mostly salt and oil free vegan, I really wanted to like this place but it was not good. I ordered takeout and to my surprise they charge a mandatory 20% gratuity fee on all orders and then still ask for a tip on top of that. The total without an additional tip was over $40 for an appetizer and entree. The cauliflower bites were extremely dry and hard. They were way overcooked and I had to pick off the burnt ends. The enchiladas were not good either. It was a tasteless wet slop and had so many olives which were the only source of flavor. Not a fan of olives and don’t think they belong on the dish. Unfortunately this place is not for me. Hope they can make some changes in the kitchen and be transparent about their pricing before ordering.

I left the airport hungry and in search of a healthy vegan lunch. Within 20 minutes, I arrived at GreenFare. Upon walking in I saw the books and bakery items at the counter. I was intrigued. Then I sat down and started to order. There was a great variety of selections from apps to entrees and desserts.
The food was incredibly well made with great care. You can taste it in the butternut squash soup topped with its roasted seeds. Also, in the mushroom enchiladas with its flavors and what seemed delicate yet quite filling.
The chocolate mousse was the perfect end. My eyes lit up. Truly the best.

I came in yesterday for there “Reversing Diabetes in 28 Days” Event from 5-7 pm. Once I checked in with a gentleman at the counter, I was told to sit at a table of my choosing. I was offered a drink by the man who I checked in with and chose a glass of water. I sat and sat and sat without anyone ever coming to my table again.There were 4 others in the restaurant and two employees. As I understand from the description of the event on Eventbrite, dinner was from 5-6. The gentleman who checked me in was tinkering around the cash register and front counter the entire time. I certainly didn’t understand the format. I read their menu provided at the table.Nearly every dish was prepared with tree nuts or peanuts. After 1/2 hr of sitting and not understanding how the dinner portion of the event or the event in general worked, I finally went up to the man tinkering at the counter and explained my allergy to tree nuts and peanuts. He pointed out two menu items without nuts. I mentioned my concerns for cross contamination and he was noncommittal about the possibility. He obviously didn’t care one way or the other. I decided for my own safety to exit. Interestingly enough, I didn’t smell any food being prepared at all. I overheard the other employee mentioning to a patron, something about their 28 day meal plan?!. Perhaps the event was to market their meal kits?! What bothered me the most is that the “host(s)” never attempted to explain a format for the event, whether we were expected to order and then pay for items off of their menu? Was there a cooking demonstration involved? Was it an interactive event? Was a Registered Dietitian or Medical Professional conducting training? No introductions were made at all. It was all baffling and very strange. A waste of an evening.

Found the restaurant on a whim; we were visiting from Rhode Island for a couple of days. So happy we did. Having such excellent food with no added oils/salt is a rare find. Having those same foods be better than places that use all the unneeded additions is just mind blowing!
We enjoyed the fried quinoa and tofu dish and the ginger stir fry bowl. We couldn’t decide for dessert and we were treated to a little sampler of the chocolate mousse and the pumpkin bar.
The service was attentive and genuine. The location itself is surrounded by literature for living a clean eating life but nothing is being pushed on you if you’re just looking for a good meal. If GreenFare was in New England it’d be my go to place to eat.

Green Fare is a casual spot with a focus on healthy, creative dishes. No matter what I order for my meal, I always make sure to get their muffins—they’re absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, leaving you satisfied but never weighed down. We also take advantage of their meal plan so we can enjoy their food at home. Since the menu is free of salt, oil, and sugar, the flavors may take a little adjustment if you’re used to heavier, less healthy foods, but the freshness and quality make it well worth
