Put the steak knife down and pick up something leafier, cleaner, and bursting with flavor just outside the industrial heartbeat of Miami — welcome to Medley, a quaint metropolitan pocket with a unique blend of economic muscle and subtle allure.   

Give your meals a touch of green as you unravel the lineup of plant-based kitchens moments from the continuous flow of commerce in Medley, a tiny town fondly dubbed "South Florida's Industrial Porch."

Tucked between warehouses, rail yards, and highways, Medley is a bustling hub dotted with industrial and commercial properties, more than 1,500 businesses, and an impressive daily workforce of 30,000.

But while it's defined by gritty edges and no-frills landscape, with only a limited number of mobile home parks and modest single-family homes to soften the surface, many don't know that Medley offers a growing pocket of fresh, flavorful eats amidst its mix of food trucks and local spots that cater to all diets and taste buds!

In fact, thanks to its central location near Doral, Hialeah, and Miami Springs, you're surprisingly well-fed when it comes to vegan variety — and we're not just talking side salads and smoothie bowls.

From loaded falafel pitas and vegan arepas to tropical açaí towers and chickpea-packed bowls, these health-forward spots serve plant-based meals with bold flavor, hearty portions, and no apology.

So if you thought Medley couldn't keep up with Miami's vegan game, think again — this list will change your mind AND lunch plans.

Here are the top five vegan restaurants near Medley.

1) Shawarma Beirut Miami LLC

7191 NW 77th Terrace, Medley, FL 33166

Indulge your craving the Medley way at Shawarma Beirut Miami LLC, a local food truck defined by its straightforward Lebanese vegan fare with zero frills.

While their shawarmas headlines the menu, Shawarma Beirut Miami LLC's vegan-friendly lineup doesn't skimp on quality and flavor as it brings you the classics minus the meat, including falafel pita that comes filled with crispy chickpea fritters, lettuce, pickled turnips, and a drizzle of tahini, and a falafel platter that offers a heartier spread with hummus and warm pita on the side. 

You'll also find staple sides like baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, and stuffed grape leaves, making it easy to put together a satisfying plant-based meal.

With fast service, consistent flavor, and no unnecessary fuss, Shawarma Beirut Miami LLC proves that skipping the meat still gets you something seriously worth unwrapping.

2) Smoothie Spot

3520 W 18th Ave, Hialeah, FL 33012

When the sun's cooking the pavement and your stomach's sending mixed signals, head somewhere that cools you down and fills you up, just 4 minutes from Medley.

Sure, Smoothie Spot may sound like a quick pit stop SOLELY for fruity drinks, but its full lineup of wraps, bowls, and breakfast plates makes it a clutch go-to for casual vegan eats. 

Here, you can build a guilt-free splurge of brown rice, chickpeas, black beans, sweet plantains, and avocado, or grab their signature Vegan Bowl loaded with tofu and grilled veggies. 

Are smoothie bowls your mood for the day? Yep, they've got those too — the Mango Mania and Acai Bowl are dairy-free and packed with fruit, granola, and nut butters.

Of course, their real "claim to fame" is their drinks. (No surprise there!) 

Choose from refreshing fruit smoothies or give in to the caffeine pull of their almond milk frappes and dairy-free coffee blends.

We swear your blender at home could never — not with this flavor and not with this flair!

3) Bombay Darbar Doral 

8405 NW 53rd St SUITE E101, Doral, FL 33166

Turn up the flavor without turning on the guilt as you spice things up (literally) at Bombay Darbar, a vibrant Indian restaurant just 6 minutes from Medley.

This Doral gem stages a full-blown sensory experience and plates up tradition with a modern, meatless twist.

Inside, you'll find a kaleidoscope of bold lighting, lush décor, and Bollywood films flickering across the wall, setting the tone for a meal that leans heavy on flavor and light on compromise. 

Meanwhile, Bombay Darbar's massive menu includes a generous lineup of vegan and vegan-friendly dishes, from crispy veggie samosas to lentil-rich Tandoori options and deeply spiced chickpea masalas.

Whether you go mild or commit to "super-hot," the customizable spice levels let you take control of the heat — and if things get too fiery, that chilled mango lassi will become your new best friend.

Bold, bright, and loaded with plant-powered flavor, Bombay Darbar doesn't whisper vegan — it sings it in Technicolor!

4) Pura Vida Miami Doral

8400 NW 53rd St, Miami, FL 33166

Ever wish your brunch could double as a photo shoot and a wellness ritual? Well, it's "wishful thinking" no more as Pura Vida pulls off the impossible like it's just another Tuesday, just 7 minutes from Medley.

Drenched in natural light and styled like a minimalist dream, this plant-forward café is easy on the eyes and your diet! 

Think rainbow-bright açaí bowls, grain-packed salads, vegan wraps, banana bread, all-day breakfast plates, and more—every dish at Pura Vida feels like it was designed to be eaten and admired. 

Scratch that — a bite and a snap for your FYP will confirm it!

Oh, and their drink menu? It's curated for the clean-living crowd, with cold brew, matcha, and lattes made with almond, oat, or whole milk — plus raw organic sweeteners if you're skipping the calorie-loaded sugar.

It's wellness without the lecture, and style without the effort — that's the Pura Vida way.

5) Sano Food Doral 

10712 NW 74th St, Doral, FL 33178

Imagine a time when you were EXCITED about what's on your salad.

No? Nothing? Well, that's about to change at Sano Food Kitchen & Market, just 8 minutes from Medley.

Encouraging diners to eat with intention, this health-driven food spot keeps everything clean and guilt-free without losing the joy of a good, satisfying bite.
