Healthy Restaurants in Pasadena or Glendale?

Hey Hounds,

I am going out to dinner tomorrow night with a friend who is vegetarian and not big on chains.

Looking for restaurants in either Pasadena or Glendale.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Tibet Nepal House. Lots of vegetarian dishes, although not exclusively vegetarian.

Palate in Glendale also has lots of veggie options.

Daisy Mint in Pasadena might work... there green curry with eggplant is good stuff.

Daisy Mint's super oily though, for a vegetarian thats good but for a meat eater it can be a bit heavy. Le Pain on colorado is an ok option for healthy food. Pasadena is kind of a dead zone for healthy fare IMO. There are some persian places in glendale that would fit the bill. Maybe someone else can fill you in on recs for those.

Fatty's in Eagle Rock - http://www.fattyscafe.com/

(Also second the recommendation for Daisy Mint.)

Fatty's in Eagle Rock is great - I love that place. There's also The Coffee Table, which is more casual. If you want to go really casual (and really cheap!) there's also Orean's (offically called Orean Health Express) in Pasadena. It's basically vegan fast food.

Thank you all for the suggestions. We chose Tibet Nepal House. Food was good similar to indian cuisine. Their lentils were good, it was more of a pureed soup than what im used to. Lunch Buffet is only $8.99 for the weekday so will go back.

Great place to connect and very spiritual vibe in there. Spent 2.5 hours their and never felt rushed. The Himalayan tea is good. Authentic servers from Nepal.

Will go to Fatty's next time.

Some of the *cleanest* food I've had in town is Din Tai Fung, right outside of Pasadena. Superpure chicken soup.

Similarly: Viet Noodle Bar. He's a little obsessed with clean/pure/organic/etc. Makes soy milk and tofu fresh each morning from organic beans. He's sort of into: a balance of health and aesthetic satisfaction. Incredibly good veggie pho, his own invention, made from shiitake, roast carrots, and something else.
