It's more of a cafeteria than a restaurant but that's ok. But the food is after all just nice and nothing one couldn't make at home. It might deserve four stars for veggie-deprived France but for more vegetarian-friendly countries (i.e. anywhere but France) it's a bit disappointing, it misses the twist and some innovation. The prices range from around ten Euros for a big salad to nineteen for a set menu that includes starter, main and dessert, which I find a bit steep for what you get. So like my star dilemma, not sure if I'll go back despite everything that it has going for it.

Buffet includes: samosas, pakoras, dal, palaak paneer, a mushroom dish, two types of rice (regular and biryani-style,) several salads, a handful of desserts, roti, and probably some other stuff I can't remember. There are lots of meat-based main dishes at dinner or you can order more of the vegetarian options. There are also your usual naan options (regular, cheese, and garlic) as well as various lassis. Lunch is 11€ and dinner is between 11 and 18€ (before drinks, bread, etc.) The guy who runs this place is super friendly and speaks perfect English. They also host events with Bollywood dancers, yoga, meditation, etc. You can follow their facebook page for more info on that stuff. I'm a big fan! Side note: They do not accept credit cards so bring your cash and/or restaurant tickets.

This place was perfect since it…read morewas fast, had relatively healthy options (salads) and a nice selection of different kinds of falafels, including vegan ones. For under 10€ per person, you can get a pretty filling meal. You have a choice of a sandwich (i.e. falafels in a pita pocket) or a salad (this will cost just a tiny bit more). My husband got the sandwich and I got the salad - I have to admit I had a little bit of food envy as they were starting to make his sandwich and stuff it, and my salad looked like just a lot of cabbage and carrots. Both were really excellent, the falafels were fresh, tasty, and not dry, and despite my initial first impression, I actually liked the salad more than the sandwich. The salad does come with two little pita breads so you can still feel like you're eating a pita sandwich without all of the carbs and with more vegetables. I would definitely get the salad again, but you can't go wrong with either. Overall, inexpensive, fast, fresh and tasty and a nice way to get something a little healthier (especially if you get the salad) if you're tired of heavier Lyonnaise food. They open pretty late and on Sundays too. I would come back here again if I were in the area.

Their cheesecake was probably the best one I have ever had. It so soft and fluffy and not dense at all. The coffee we had were also very good.

By the time we got there it was 20:00 ish (15km of walking uphill later) we were jet lagged, tired and starved! The food was delicious but you can't be starving or in a rush...the portions are on the smaller side of things especially if it's your only meal of the day. I would recommend it but next time I'll make reservations for my number one choice i didn't get the chance to try.

The Vegetarian Food We've Had in France!…read more Well, we've only found one other place that was exclusively vegetarian. Nonetheless, the food was excellent! It looks like the menu changes regularly, so I'm not sure how helpful this will be. We each had the Minestrone soup, which was fabulous! It was a different take on what we expected, but we enjoyed it anyway! For plats we had the Buckwheat Gallette and the Assiette Gourmande. What that really means (in American food terms) is that the Gallette is kind of a savory thick patty made of vegetables and buckwheat on a bed of red cabbage and spinach in a savory asian influenced sauce. The gourmet plate was a large salad with various raw vegetables and sprouts under a delicious dressing (not too heavy); in the corner there was marinaded tofu dice and a side of french quinoa with a savory broth. Everything was very original and tasty! The clientele appeared to be mostly french hippies! The dining area is middle sized, probably seats a total of 30. Don't forget they are only do dinner on Friday and Saturday nights.
