Kaitlin: Wowza! For an entirely vegetarian, and sometimes vegan menu, this place is unbelievably good. Their cashew cheese would make me okay with never eating dairy cheese again.
Cheryl Ritchell: Can't say enough good things! You will never miss the meat (this coming from a carnivore). Love the apps & they have weekly specials based on offerings from local farms. Local & healthy!
Sera Lewis: Get the fritters, get the fritters, get the fritters. Also the chicken and waffles. Maybe not the sushi.

Charlie Webb: I love the cashew chicken. Call ahead ready in 10 minutes. The people there are super nice. The parking is terrible especially at lunch, but the food is worth the hassle.
Kimberly C.: It's unexpectedly good. Veggies are fresh, rice is far more authentic than at Neo Asia down the street. Dumplings are fantastic. :)
Marshall Evans: They Deliver! Call ahead for to go orders. They can customize any dish and are happy to make things not on their menu.
Neeta Chitre-King: Cute place. A gift shop & cafe. Nice to spen an afternoon with a girlfriend, shop a little, & linger over lunch or coffee. They have a few healthy vegan options too.
Jacqueline Wachholz: Their brie and strawberries sandwich is excellent! Read more.

Mandy Couch: Get the Subz Samosa for an appetizer (good for two) and then you cannot go wrong with the Chicken Tikka Masala. Enough for two or leftovers for one.
Sonja Foust: Lunch chicken tikka masala is the clear winner. Save a few bites to take home because they give you lots of extra naan to take, too!
Doug Curtin: Curry (all of them) and naan

John Carter: Amazingly delicious and healthy, is the only way I know to describe Sassool. I highly recommend the Kafta burger with two sides when they have it on special.
Charles Mangin: The new location gives you fresh mini-pitas with your meal. Still warm from the oven and puffed up like little balloons. :-)
Lauren D: I cannot say enough good things about neomonde. I come here at least 3 times a week. Love this place!
nidhi: Must-try menu items: butter chicken, saag paneer, garlic naan, and gulab jamun. Come for lunch buffet (until 3pm on weekends) to try a little bit of everything! I've never had a bad dish here!
Robert Ellis: Be careful this place is addictive! I recommend Saag Paneer and Aloo Gobi Masala. And don't forget the Naan and Pakoras.
Aditya Ambadkar: Breads are good (if you get one which is not burnt)
Crystal W: I love this store. Natural cleaning products, essential oils, healthy snacks, a juice bar, etc. Heaven for the truly granola and still useful and cool for the only slightly crunchy.
Keri Giordano: Helpful staff, huge selection of gluten free food
Richard Palmer: Lots of organic, sugar-free, and other dietary-specific dry goods and snacks. Huge vitamin selection. Organic juice bar as well. Some local meats, but the store is definitely vegetarian-centric.
