They appear to have a new, more vegetarian-friendly menu! I ordered my
meal "strict vegetarian" and they seemed very willing to comply.
But, always double check when you order.
Bombay Spice
Glendale & 16th St.

http://www.bombayspice.com
"They have great of vegetarian options (more than what is currently listed on
their Website) with lots of tofu dishes! Most vegetarian items seem to be vegan,
but the mint sauce has yogurt in it (and they put it on the plate under the
samosas – so ask to have it left off). The $6/glass wine is a nice concept too!
I think they’re opening up on Tatum and Shea by Whole Foods as well."
Thanks, Sonia!!

"I go there all the time and get their tofu dishes and/or their soup. All the
waiters know what you mean when you ask for something "vegetarian, with water,
not broth" and I watch them write it on the order ticket. They do put egg in
their moo shu, so you do have to be specific. Their spicy bean curd is
outstanding. It's right next to the Vegetarian House."

South of Roosevelt on 4th St.

eatatfate@yahoo.com
It is a small place with only a few parking spots - parking is available on the
streets south of the restaurant. Very cozy atmosphere. They are open for
lunch and dinner and are open until 3am on Fri and Sat. All of the entrees
can be made with your choice of chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu. So they are
not exclusively veg, but almost everything can be made veg. Four out of
the seven appetizers are marked vegetarian.
"It is Asian food and about 95% of the menu is vegan. Everything I have had
there is EXCELLENT! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. It
is owned by one man who does all the cooking himself. Besides the menu being
almost perfect, the atmosphere is very artsy and fun. A MUST for any vegan!"
Thanks, Jason!
Stuff at Fate that is not vegan: the
Pad Thai is NOT vegan- fish sauce and eggs, the
Wok Fried Noodles are not vegan (egg noodles) and
NONE of the soups are vegan... otherwise, all of the entrees can be made vegan and a few of the
appetizers (buns, spring rolls, egg rolls, and tofu wedges) are vegan.
I have been alerted that they fry the tofu in the same vats as the meat.

rice and skewered bell peppers, onions and tomatoes. Eden's vegetarian dish:
Veggie patties, falafel, dolmeh served on basmati rice with skewered bell
