As I promised yesterday, here are some more restaurant reviews for vegetarian restaurant week. I could just talk about the restaurants where I have worked, Real Food Daily and The Grit, but that would be no fun.

Instead, I've decided to branch out a bit and welcome reviews, comments, and photos from my trusty friends and colleagues. Today's restaurant roundup is from another restaurant critic in the making, Pulin.

Veggie Heaven

"There's an amazing restaurant in Austin, Texas, called Veggie Heaven. The food is pretty cheap, very tasty, and quite filling. Yum! Here's a sampling of what I and my crew got last time we were in town for a conference. I don't remember what it's called exactly, but there are some great veggies and some mock meat in this. Pretty balanced meal, if you ask me." I'm going to have to agree with Pulin that this restaurant is amazing. With a menu that ranges from Taipei Lo Mein to Veggie Shrimp Quesadillas, how could it not be?

Red Bamboo

"If you've ever been to NYC, you've heard of Red Bamboo. Here's a photo of the soul chicken as a fairly cheap and filling lunch-special sandwich. The restaurant features amazing entrées plus appetizers and desserts too. And it's just a couple of doors down from another great restaurant, Vegetarian's Paradise 2."

Vegetarian's Paradise 2

I'll admit that I've never been to this restaurant, but after reading Pulin's review above, I did a little investigating. I was amazed to find Fried "Calamari," Maryland "Crabcakes," and Avocado "Crab" Tartare on the restaurant's menu—and those are just a few of the appetizers! Maybe a NYC food expedition is in order?

Stay tuned for more restaurant reviews later this week!
