I call this entry "Noms, chapter 59,386":

Yooooooooo what's good.

You KNOW WHAT LET ME ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU. But first!

Sometimes I host a Minneapolis Vegan Meet-up Dine Out. And we go to delicious places around the Mpls/StP area. And we eat food and general merriment ensues. It's a good time and you should join meeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 

So. Food and stuff. I got you. Here's some great places to get some bomb India-inspired cuisine.

I recently went to Namaste Cafe and holy crap. Just...just look at the pics ok? Pretty sure I don't have to break this down much for you:

Ok so from top to bottom, let's do this! For the appetizer, me and mother dearest shared some spicy potatoes, which are a crowd favorite-slightly crunchy and perfectly spiced. Next we got the mango coconut curry with tofu-sweet and spicy! And then last but not least, the coconut carrot creme brûlée, which is always a great way to end a meal (i.e. very full). Namaste is good for many reasons, such as: romantic place to bring a first date (twinkly lights), vegan stuff is labeled on the menu, that there coconut creme brûlée, the chai tea, etc etc. Woop!

Ok, next. Bombay Bistro has a lunch buffet that is so freaking tasty and all-you-can-eat-y, I can't even. I told that to the guy running the joint after my meal and he was all like girl, 

and then all of sudden, I could. Magic/sorcery!

Ok! 

Here's is all the tasty-looking stuff that's vegan in the buffet. There's probably more there during the lunch buffet (for less than $15 all you can eat), but I barely survived this buffet because EVERYTHING. Literally everything was on point so hard I almost stabbed myself w it. It's also pretty central in downtown Mpls-get it! Also ask the ppl there what is vegan-they're super friendly and helpful. 

Ok Fasika. I don't know how I went so long without trying your cuisine, but a couple weeks ago, I gave up the fight to resist your charms. This here is the veggie sampler (all vegan, with my friends lovely finger in the shot):

This place is in ye old StP and it is totally worth the jaunt. Some of the stuff on this plate was totally waaay spicy, like I likes it. Get this, you will not be disappointed!!

Ok guys, I'm srsly stuffed. Jk *goes to Dancing Ganesha for the gobi manchurian and stuffs face more* (also, go there bc it is bomb food too)

I'm out!!! *waddles away*

A 2fer!

Are you guys totes pumped right now?! I'm about to update the shit out of this blog. It's been a while, you guys. And I've put so many tasty things in my mouth lately, I just have to gush about it for a sec. Mmk? MMK.

So Dancing Ganesha is bomb. They have this stuff:

Gobi Machurian! It has the consistency of fried chik'n, but sans the chik'n, y'all. In a tasty, tangy tomato-y sauce that, in my mind, embodies umami. Don't know what that is? Clicky! Anyhoo. it's damn tasty. Get some now! If you're visiting them soon, make sure to ask what's vegan on the menu.




















Also, I re-visited my favesy Buddhist Chinese restaurant in STP, Bravo! Cafe and Bakery. Hot damn, you guys. Check this shit out:

That there is their Kung Pao "Chicken" and their Sesame "Chicken" with Broccoli. This stuff is heavy on the sauce, but the sauces have so much flavor. I have been cheating on many other Chinese food places in the Twin Cities (*cough* Evergreen *cough*) for the simplicity of the dishes, the price and, what can I say? I know the owner. She's a sweetheart.

There's your eats, y'all. Get some!!! Or else...I'll, uh...explode. And you wouldn't want that because that's gross.

I'm outty!
