Dos Perros: mistas (roasted mushrooms, poblanos, and squash) burrito-style. (The included Oaxacan cream comes on the side.)
Vine - Thai & Sushi: Green Thai Curry with tofu and vegetables. Comes with a bowl of rice and a choice of side. (Don't get the miso soup because it has fish paste in it, FYI.) The tofu was ill-treated a squishy, BUT the hunks of potato were glorious. I have no idea what they put on them (probably salt) but they were frickin' delicious.
Also from Vine: Basil Tofu--which had a better prepared of tofu in a yummy basil stir fry. It comes with rice and a choice of salad or (fish containing) soup as well.
Thai Cafe: Sauce was good and I really love basil leaves in my stir-fries. The tofu was well-treated and more like the tofu I've had in Asia. The dish would have been better some crushed peanuts sprinkled on top, but it was still good.
Sitar: one of the many buffet plates I have gotten from there during my visits. Roti (flat bread), pakora (greens battered & deep fried), chana masala (chickpeas in curry sauce), saag paneer (spinach, mushrooms and traditionally Indian cheese), and aloo gobi (potatoes & cauliflower).
Bahn's Vietnamese Cuisine on Ninth Street: Kept hearing about the Wednesday/Saturday specials, particularly the hit or miss fried tofu in black bean sauce. The sauce didn't wow me and the tofu should be marinated to please non-tofu lovers, but I'd definitely eat this again. Roasted broccoli, the stickiest sticky rice I've ever had, and crispy onions accompanied.
Lily's Pizza: Fuzzi Duck Salad is composed of "vegan Chicken Strips baked and tossed in our homemade Lemon Vinaigrette over organic romaine hearts with jalapeno, cucumber, monterey jack & organic red onions! Served with our homemade Croutons."
The Federal: Bean burger sliders (the online menu says lentil/leek, but the restaurant menu says black beans) served with guac, salsa, lettuce, and curry aioli. Comes with a side; I had salad.
Blue Corn Cafe's Black Bean And Sweet Potato Stew: "Sweet potatoes, corn, black beans, and cilantro in a tomato broth. Topped with avocado slices."
The Palace International: Maharagwe Ya Nazi: Red kidney beans cooked in coconut milk with ginger and cayenne pepper. Served with two sides; I got chapati and rice.
Pomegranate Kitchen--i.e. delectable Persian glory between Durham and Chapel Hill: Loobia Polo (green beans rice) and Mirza Ghassemi (roasted eggplant stew) combo plate.
