The Spinach pie is a must-have: Shiny, crackly layers of filo dough are crammed full with carefully seasoned puréed spinach and dusted with dried herbs that taste strongly of oregano.
Himalayan menu, which contains all sorts of breads & meats, but also offers lots for vegetarians including sel roti (a bread shaped like a big ring) & bhatmas chiura (beaten rice & toasted soybeans)
Try Chicken Mole Enchiladas-homemade mole on a half-chicken, or on three chicken enchiladas ($11.50), along w/ achiote rice, refried beans topped w/ crumbly cheese, & a dab of sauce-style guacamole
Super Heebster: heat, umami, smoke, salt, cream cheese whipped to ethereal heights, crunchy, snappy roe, silky, voluptuous whitefish salad and bagel w/ nice, shiny crust & pleasantly chewy innards.
Try Bun bo Hue soup-brick-red beef broth tastes of long simmering, spiked w/ chiles, lemongrass, & shrimp paste & great hunks of braised beef & slithery rice vermicelli, along w/ scallions & cilantro.
Get The Beauty: house-cured lox is silky & plush, w/ capers scattered across surface. Paper-thin shavings of purple onion on cream cheese provide a nice counterpoint to the more robust ingredients.
Try the brown butter, corn, and mushroom linguine-auced in a rich slurry of brown butter and corn milk, which pools at the bottom of the plate, where it's soaked up by feathery chanterelles.
Try the Potato Flatbread-potatoes are pan-fried with thyme, cilantro, and onions that have a sweet, caramelized sheen, and the whole thing on flatbread is topped w/ a flurry of crunchy scallions
Flavorful, filling, greasy, hot, spicy and yes, still vegetarian! Drown in the Hot Idli and Sambar and don’t hesitate to ask for extra ghee!

If you like mozzarella then you must try the burrata - a cheese with a very similar soft and milky texture. #38 on our 100 Dishes to Eat Now.
