There's also Nature's Way, which is just around the corner from Native Foods, I think (is Native Foods where Real Food Daily used to be?), on Lindbrook.... Kind of a fast food feel, but not bad (only went once many yrs ago....).

I spent 4 (5) years in WW and unfortunately, it's a wasteland food-wise.

I second Native Foods if you're looking for a place that specializes in that sort of cuisine.

For Vegetarians, I'd recommend going to 800 degrees (wasn't around when I was in WW), LaMonica's, In'n'Out, or Mongols and getting something without meat.

Native Foods (and the new location is great). 800 Degrees has vegan options as well (marinara pizza, add any other vegan toppings you want). The lines are still pretty crazy there, though.

Shamshiri (and some of the other Persian places) have good vegetarian options, and Shamshiri should be able to do some vegan stuff, but watch out for whey, butter, and other dairy products. Haven't been to Iso for ages (used to go occasionally when I worked over that way), but I think they should have a few things. Napa Valley Grille will do some vegan stuff upon request - it's a bit generic, but not horrible.

It looks like Bella Pita is still around.

re: the lines at 800 degrees

the best times i've found to go in order to avoid the lines are 11:30AM and 3:15PM

800 degrees will do the veggie pizza "marinara", which basically means no cheese. I tried it and it was really good, for vegan no-cheese pizza anyhow. I like the vibe of the place.

Wasn't there (isn't there) a vegan or vegetarian Indian food place basically across the street from Native Foods? I thought I saw one while bicycling through the Village one time.

I thought this place was on Kinross (but maybe it's gone)? Next time I go up in that area I'll swing by to see if it still exists (or if the whole thing was some sort of sleep deprivation hallucination).
