Last week I shared a reader's plea for suggestions of restaurants where vegetarians and non-vegetarians can happily dine together. E-mail, letters and faxes poured in, many praising Indian and Asian restaurants. Kate Clark of Fall River wrote that she has a number of friends and relatives who restrict their intake of meat and animal products to varying degrees. A few are vegans. My favorites are Hong Meas in East Providence and Galaxie in Cranston.
Indian restaurants have many vegetarian and vegan choices.
I love Taste of India on Wickenden Street, Providence. With a willingness to try ethnic cuisine, anyone can be satisfied in this area. Extensive selections John Bush Jones of Providence echoes that sentiment. All Indian restaurants have extensive selections of vegetarian dishes. I sometimes think, in fact, if all vegetarian food were Indian dishes, I could easily convert from being a carnivore.
