This is Asheville's premiere vegetarian/vegan restaurant. It was the first and has remained vibrant for many years. Great menu. Try the Thali plate if you enjoy Indian cuisine. Also the veggie pakoras

Aloo Tiki Chaat is delicious. The Thali Plate of the day is usually what I order or the fish tacos. The red cabbage slaw is so refreshing.

My favorite gift store. Owners Nora and Damon moved here from Brooklyn several years ago and their giftshop quickly became a favorite! It's next door to another great shop, Second Gear. Second Gear is used camping and outdoor
