When you name your restaurant Vegetarian Haven, you are catering to a very specific market. Folks may want to choose vegetarian option in a regular restaurant, but it is tough to get them to a place where the know they won’t be able to order juicy meat. Unfortunately, this restaurant won’t make any converts.
The menu features everything you would expect from a vegetarian restaurant, such as vegetables, rice, noodles, veggie burger, wraps and many tofu dishes. They also cook something called seitan (also known as wheat meat or gluten) which is made by washing wheat flour dough with water to obtain gluten. It is chewy, and different from the texture of tofu, but it is nothing special as it is pretty bland. Another vegetarian product they serve is tempeh, basically soybeans. It does taste different from tofu even though they are made from the same ingredient as tempeh is a lot firmer and stronger in flavor. If you are bored of tofu dishes, and eating meat is out of the question, tempeh could be an interesting change of pace.
Restaurant itself is nicely decorated, prices are reasonable, and the dishes I have tried were pretty good. If you don’t mind giving up the meat for one meal, tempeh or seitan is worth giving a try.
