1. Floralia

Floralia Pizzeria is America's first wood-fired vegan pizza. Serving Neapolitan pizzas in Honolulu, Hawaii since 2015!

If there is just one vegan restaurant you visit while on the island, this is it. Floralia used to be called What it Dough and is hands-down the best vegan pizza on the island. Make sure to order the salad, breadsticks, and dessert to go with your vegan pizza fix. Drooling just writing this.

4. Ganesh Dosa

A savory Indian crepe made from fermented lentils and rice served with curried potatoes, coconut chutney, and a sambar soup. I consider myself a bit of a dosa expert, and if you are in NYC head over to Washington Square Park on a nice sunny day and visit my buddy at NY Dosa. However, if you are on Oahu, Ganesh Dosa hits the spot and is absolutely bomb. Ganesh dosa has some non-vegan toppings on the menu but the kitchen is open and clean and the menu is mostly plant-based.

Mon - Sat 11 AM - 7 PM
Sun 10 AM - 3 PM

5. Tane Vegan Izakaya

The best vegan sushi I've ever had! This place is an incredible date night spot sure to impress even your meat-eating friends—as long as they love sushi. I do not know how they do it, but the food is out of this world. Just go and order as much as you can eat. Note you must get a reservation in advance or spend a few hours navigating takeout.
