Cosmic Cafe

Furnished with a riot of wall-to-wall Indian kitsch (think expansive wall murals, Hindu artwork, Buddha statues and the like), this Oak Lawn stalwart is anything but subtle in looks. But aside from the décor, Cosmic Café cranks out a rollcall of vegetarian hits ranging from Indian specialties like samosas and dahl to tacos, spinach enchiladas, falafel and even pizza. On the liquid end, expect to find smoothies, lassies and teas alongside a selection of beer and organic wine. Fun fact: All the prices on the menu ($8.01, $3.06, etc.) are listed in digits that add up to nine, a significant number in Hindu mythology.
