Although not strictly a vegetarian restaurant, the Persian Garden Cafe offers a great selection of Persian, Mediterranean, Vegetarian and Vegan cuisine. Appetizers include Middle Eastern classics such as hummus, stuffed grape leaves, and baba ghanoush, done here with simple yet fresh preparation. Get a little of everything with the Vegetarian Sampler, which comes with hummus, tabouli, falafel, and dolmeh served over both brown and white rice, fresh veggies and homemade naan. The cafe offers a unique stuffed acorn squash falafel, and don't miss the fresh herbal salad served with lentil soup. Don't miss the chai tea, which is rich yet refreshing.
