Does any one know of any 'hidden jems' in their neighborhood of restaurants in Seattle that offer a wide variety of vegetarian entrees? .......not just pasta. Thanks for your input! Wed Jan 30 11:02:15 -0800 2008 160182 stephanie98012 1 3349105 I apologize if I posted this twice - but Punjab Sweets in Kent is a 100% vegetarian restaurant w/ Indie cuisine. It's all made from scratch - even the yogurts in their sauces. Bakery has all kinds of sweets that look well worth the carbs. At any rate - they were featured in Sunset Mag in Nov. 2007. Wed Jan 30 12:54:28 -0800 2008 3348556 162043 Seattle Southside 2 3474696 Pabla Indian Cuisine in both Renton and Issaquah are also very good vegetarian Indian places; note - the downtown Seattle sells meat, but still has a wide choice of veggie options. Sun Mar 09 07:48:16 -0700 2008 3349105 85184 broksonic 1 3349299 not knowing what your own neighborhood 'jems' might be, i suggest the following as having excellent vegetarian options (and some are vegan!): moonlight cafe - 19th/jackson - vietnamese with complete seperate vegie menu vegie bistro - 6th/king - pure vegan (and with dim sum!) than brothers - several locations - finest vegan pho on earth - cream puffs optional cafe flora - madison valley - imaginative vegie food and setting pan africa cafe -1st avenue btw. pike/pine - spicy vegie fare on fresh injera some friends love bamboo garden at seattle center but i find it has a litterbox odor the new 'i love new york deli' in pike place market makes all vegie knishes Wed Jan 30 13:30:26 -0800 2008 3348556 14758 howard 1st 1 3349518 Ditto howard 1st on not knowing what you already go to, but I'd reccomend chiang's gourmet on lake city way in roosevelt. Wed Jan 30 14:16:18 -0800 2008 3348556 66403 dagoose 2 3350148 What veggie items do you order at Chiang's? The HUGE menu is a bit overwhelming with minimal descriptions. It seems hard to know what, for example, might randomly have ground pork in it, despite a vegetarian-sounding name. Thanks! Wed Jan 30 17:05:56 -0800 2008 3349518 20879 dandelion 3 3352263 chiang's is, indeed, a wonderful place with many vegie dishes on the menu - just ask. i am further blessed by mabel, a weekend hostess who has taken me under her wing and orders something different for me every time i am there. get the stinky tofu with kimchee and the mock "bbq ribs" Thu Jan 31 10:38:12 -0800 2008 3350148 14758 howard 1st 3 3370103 Yes, howard is right, the hostess loves nothing more than to suggest dishes, but also if you get the green colored vegetarian menu, then everything is vegetarian. Makes that reallllly easy. Wed Feb 06 09:44:28 -0800 2008 3350148 66403 dagoose 3 3414570 Thanks!

There was a good Ethopian/Eritrean restaurant near MLK Blvd. S, but I don't recall the name, but they had gluten-free injera which is hard to find. You probably know about Flowers buffet in the U-district. Patty Pan Grill in Ballard catered our wedding. They're open for lunch, not supper, I don't know about weekends. Consider checking the listings on www.happycow.net . If there are ones you know about which aren't listed, consider posting them there. Fri Mar 07 19:51:28 -0800 2008 3348556 169792 lgss 1 3471653 Here's the Ethiopian place I was talking about. We had the veg combo, back before I moved to MA in 2004. http://www.pe04.com/awashrestaurant/ formerly Fasica) - now called Awash 3808 S.

Squid & Ink. I've passed by a couple times with interest. The Times did a thing about them last Friday. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/restaurants/2004265125_deal07.html Mon Mar 10 08:53:20 -0700 2008 3348556 66211 GreenYoshi 2 3514099 we just ate at "In the Bowl" on Capitol Hill (denny/olive area). Fantastic job at veggie asian food; just watch out - their 3 stars is anyone else's 4 or 5 for spiciness.
