![]() Actually as I’m writing this Mat just asked me if I wanted Indian for dinner Friday. I’ve been known to stop there and grab dessert after, which is never a bad idea. Rasoi is just a couple spots down from Wildflour bakery. Saag tofu - spinach with garlic, tomatoes, spices and tofuĪvial - cauliflower, plaintains, carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes in a coconut broth Potato and pea samosa - Just as good as my Indian friend’s mom’s homemade ones. Here are my Friday night take-out must haves:Ĭauliflower 65 - Sweet and spicy perfectly fried cauliflower They have an entire vegan section on the menu. Dining in is great, but take-out on a Friday night when you just want to watch a movie is the best thing. Indian cuisine is generally very vegetarian/vegan friendly. If you were like me and haven’t discovered the delicious blend of full flavors from Indian cuisine, don’t worry you can now run to Rasoi. I’m embarrassed to say I only really discovered the amazing foods of Indian cooking last year. This dish is my favorite during the long, dark, and cold New England months. They actually give you a raw egg you can poach yourself in it, but I just ask for it minus the egg. ![]() It comes in another hot clay pot thats boiling when they serve it to you with tofu, vegetables in mild yet flavorful broth. The soft baked tofu stew is another favorite of mine. So so good! You get to choose between a spicy or citrus garlic soy ginger sauce. The stone bowl is heated on hot flames so it creates this crispy layer of rice on the bottom of the bowl. If you are not familiar with it bimbimbap consists of a large bed of rice with various veggies and protein topping of your choice. The must try is the hot stone bibimbap with tofu. Growing up with a Filipino mom who insisted rice should be included in every meal of the day, I feel right at home. They make some of my favorite go-to warm comfort food. The restaurant vibe is lots of exposed brick with a hip industrial feel. If you are visiting the area it’s definitely a beautiful walk down colonial New England. It is my everything bagel.ĭen Den is on historic Benefit Street in Providence. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and spicy sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning. My favorite combo that seems to be my go-to is an everything bagel with Rebelle’s homemade cashew cream cheese, tomato jam and jalapeños. They have some great pre-made vegan options such as The Vegan Dream and eggplant and squash. So each bagel is warmed with a chewy center and feels like it just came straight out of the oven.sigh. ![]() What really makes them special compared to other bagel shops is when you order a bagel they don’t toast them they warm them up. The decor is simple, clean with small fresh bouquets of flowers on perfectly instagramable tabletops. That craving never got satisfied until last year when two bagel shops popped up in Providence. When I first moved to RI for my freshman year of college, a good homemade boiled bagel was something I craved. I grew up in a small hippie town in a valley where coffee and bagel shops were abundant. Wildflour is a great place to chill maybe even bring a non-vegan friend! #8 - The Grange Where to start? Some of my favs are the chocolate chip cookies, lemon crinkle cookie (I think only available in the spring/summer), chocolate peanut butter brownie, whoopie pie with various fillings depending on moods or season. Soba Noodles with cabbage and a garlic chili dressing - This is one of my favorites to grab on the go for lunch if I’m running late and need something quick. A savory twist of fresh bread in muffin form with hints of herbs, pepper and olive oil. I need to learn how to make this at home. Savory Knot - Just give me all the carbs. If you are looking for a milder, slightly sweeter green smoothie try the Rainforest. Sillyantro smoothie - I love the kick of ginger in this. Wildflour is the only completely vegan bakery cafe in the state and is one of my favorite places to grab a quick smoothie, sweet or savory treat. ![]() They just started making a vegan coffee and strawberry glazed at the moment which I might just have to go out and try tomorrow. The vegan vanilla and vegan jelly seem to be the staples. They offer fresh vegan doughnuts daily ranging in a variety of flavors with some flavors switching out from time to time. Knead is the kind of place where they have taken the classics to 100. These bring back that nostalgia as a kid going to a local doughnut shop and getting a giant doughnut. It is a everlasting debate in this state on who has the best doughnut. I prefer the fluffy doughnut, what can I say. If you are a Rhode Islander reading this, then 50% of you are saying, “Yes! Knead is the best”, and the other 50% are screaming, “What?!? PVDonuts is the best.” Knead has this perfectly traditional fluffy doughnut and PVD is a brioche style doughnut.
