Lonely Planet review for Angelica Kitchen

This enduring herbivore classic has a calming vibe – candles, tables both intimate and communal and a mellow, longtime staff – and enough creative options to make your head spin. Some dishes get too-cute names (Sacre-Coeur Basmatica in Paris, Thai Mee Up) but all do wonders with tofu, seitan, spices and soy products, and sometimes an array of raw ingredients. Standards like the Pantry Plate – which lets you choose from a list of a dozen or so veggie concoctions and special salads – or the Dragon Bowl, a Buddha’s delight with seasonal greens, tubers, tofu, seaweed and brown rice piled high, will leave you feeling both virtuous and full. Creative puddings and cakes only sweeten the deal.

    Veg-head heaven!

    remelila recommends this,

    Whether you're a diehard vegan or an omnivore who loves a good vegetarian meal, this meatless East Village restaurant is an institution. The Dragon Bowl is a deceptively simple and fantastically filling meal. The dining room gets crowded and a bit noisy, though, especially on weekends.

    A Little Vegan Piece of Heaven

    kaityyt13 recommends this,

    Angelica Kitchen is a fantastic, eco-friendly establishment that provides its patrons with a calm, zen-like atmosphere while serving up a storm with their delicious organic, vegan fare. One is sure to find something to suit his/her palate, and each dish is designed to perfection. I'd find it nearly impossible for customers to resist Angelica's Walnut-Lentil Pâté with rice crackers or their Three-Bean Chili with Southern style cornbread? And when the check comes, only cash is accepted, perhaps as a way to reduce the carbon footprint that credit cards facilitate or even make payment travel quickly to the small, diversified family farms and independently owned local businesses that Angelica supports.
