Vegetarian Buffet in Singapore (2026): Prices, Days and Where to Go
Singapore has two main dine-in vegetarian buffets in 2026. Lotus Vegetarian in Balestier runs a Chinese and local buffet from Friday to Sunday and on public holidays. It costs about $38.80++ per adult. Annalakshmi at Downtown Gallery serves an Indian buffet where you pay what you wish, Monday to Saturday.
For a group event, Nature Vegetarian Delights caters vegetarian buffets. If only some of your group are vegetarian, The Landmark in Bugis runs a halal buffet that includes meat-free dishes.
What’s changed in 2026
- LingZhi has left Liat Towers and reopened as LingZhi Greens at Palais Renaissance on 10 August 2026. It now serves à la carte only, with no buffet, so we have removed it from this list.
- Annalakshmi is now at Downtown Gallery, 6A Shenton Way. New hours started on 15 August 2026, and it is closed on Sundays.
- Lotus Vegetarian’s buffet now runs on Fridays, weekends and public holidays in 90-minute sessions.
- Nature Vegetarian Delights now runs outlets at Rivervale Shores in Sengkang and in Bukit Batok. Its buffets are catering-only.
- The Landmark’s 1-for-1 buffet pricing and senior rates were updated for 2026.
What to look for in a vegetarian buffet
- Fully vegetarian or not: Lotus and Annalakshmi are fully vegetarian. Hotel and halal buffets mix meat and meat-free dishes.
- Vegan items: Some dishes contain dairy or egg. Ask staff if you are vegan.
- Onion and garlic: Some Chinese vegetarian kitchens avoid them, but many do not. Check if this matters to you.
- Time limits: Many buffets run 90-minute sessions, so book a slot.
- Days: Some buffets run only on certain days, so check before you go.

Annalakshmi has served Indian vegetarian food in Singapore since 1986. Volunteers from the Temple of Fine Arts run it. Its motto is “Eat as you want, give as you feel.” The buffet changes daily and mixes South and North Indian home-style dishes. Expect curries, rice, breads, vadai and desserts.
The restaurant has reopened its buffet at Downtown Gallery, near Tanjong Pagar and Downtown MRT. Annalakshmi Café is also open in the same building at #03-26.
What diners say: HappyCow reviewers praise the range of Indian vegetarian dishes and the many vegan options. Some reviews criticise how front-counter staff explained payment. Most dishes are vegan-friendly, but some use dairy or onion and garlic.

Lotus is the best-known dedicated vegetarian buffet in Singapore. The spread mixes Chinese dishes, dim sum, sushi, local favourites and desserts. Live stations have included laksa, “chicken” rice, chwee kueh and yong tau foo. On other days, Lotus serves à la carte.
What diners say: HappyCow reviews from late 2025 to mid-2026 praise the variety and the labelled vegan dishes. Reviewers say the dim sum runs out fast. Some longtime diners say quality has dipped and that the price feels high for some dishes. Book ahead, as sessions often fill up.

What diners say: Eatbook’s June 2026 review gave it 8/10 and called it one of the best halal buffets the reviewer had tried. Most praise went to meat dishes such as satay and rendang. Vegetarians should expect fewer choices than at Lotus or Annalakshmi.
