I'm a vegetarian and I love to try new restaurants. Here's the best of what I've tried.
1. Amma Vegetarian Kitchen
Amma Vegetarian Kitchen, District of Columbia, United States
Great Indian food with very cheap lunch specials. Located in Georgetown, which is a fun location.
2. The Vegetable Garden
The Vegetable Garden, Rockville, Maryland
Excellent vegetarian restaurant. Outside of DC but definitely worth the trip. My favorite is the Sesame 'Chicken'. The Moo-Shu Cilantro Rolls are also excellent.
3. Udupi Palace
Udupi Palace, Hyattsville, Maryland
All vegetarian Indian restaurant. Has a buffet on the weekends. An all vegetarian buffet is a rare find.
4. Vegetate

Swanky vegetarian restaurant and lounge. Very good food in a very nice atmosphere. Definitely worth the trip.
5. Mandalay Restaurant & Cafe
Mandalay Restaurant & Cafe, Silver Spring, Maryland
Excellent food. Long list of vegetarian items - you can't go wrong.
6. Meskerem Ethiopian Restaurant
Meskerem Ethiopian Restaurant, Washington DC, District of Columbia
Long list of vegetarian items. Great atmosphere. Try the vegetarian sampler. My favorite is the tomato salad.
7. Ben's Chili Bowl
Ben's Chili Bowl, Washington DC, District of Columbia
Historic restaurant with important ties to the civil rights movement. The veggie chili is excellent.
8. Hard Times Cafe
Hard Times Cafe, Rockville, Maryland
Great veggie chili.
9. Bua Thai
Bua Thai, Washington DC, District of Columbia
Good Thai food. Has a balcony overlooking street.
10. Joy America Cafe
Good organic restaurant above the American Museum of Visionary Arts. Nice setting above the Baltimore Harbor. A ways outside of DC, but worth it if you are in the neighborhood.
11. Penang
Penang, Washington DC, District of Columbia
Malaysian restaurant with decent vegetarian options. Mango Tofu is excellent. Lunch specials for $10 come with soup, salad, spring rolls, and meal, so it's a pretty good deal.
