Have you ever thought, “Hmmm, I’d like to get my yoga on and then eat some yummy vegetarian food, maybe a glass of wine, in one stop”? If so, then Cosmic Cafe on Oak Lawn in Dallas is your place! If not, what’s wrong with you?
So here is one of the few vegetarian restaurants on town where the environment is just as good as the food. It starts in the parking lot (if you’re lucky enough to get into the small lot, if not you can park at what used to be Tony’s next door) where you are followed to the front door by vibrant, interesting Indian art that doesn’t stop once you enter.

I began eating here long before I was a vegetarian, while the menu is pure veggies and herbs, I still don’t think I ever even thought twice about it when I was a meat eater. The menu is even a fun read with items like “Socrates Plato” and “the bombay sage” containing items like portabella mushrooms, mango chutney, basmati rice… need I go on? I’d suggest the Taco Trinity (three soft tacos filled with onions, mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers & cheddar – served with black beans, rice & salad) for meat eaters and then just about anything else on the menu for the rest of us! This is also the only vegetarian restaurant we’ve found in town that serves wine. It’s not the most amazing list, but if you need a glass they got that and beer.

Also try the Dharma Bell (sauteed bell pepper stuffed with seasoned potatoes topped with cheese and served with salad) and their hummus is some of the best! Check out the black board specials, we once ordered a vegan cheese cake that was amazing, but your life will never be the same once you’ve had Sweet Awareness: creamy peanut butter, sliced bananas, tahnini & honey on nan…mmmmmm.
If you can still walk after all of that, go take a yoga or dance class upstairs! check the website for schedule: http://www.cosmiccafedallas.com/activities.asp
