BEST VEGAN / VEGETARIAN DINING

Holy Land Diner 106 West Cook Street, 544-5786 Afaf Rashmawy’s locally famous lunch buffets roll out every Monday through Saturday with dinner versions on Friday and Saturday. The herbivores in town will want to try the mix of Greek and Lebanese food on Saturday night, as that’s when Rashmawy serves up vegetarian offerings. From lentils, to hummus, to couscous and tabbouli, Holy Land has you covered. In addition to the popular buffet, Holy Land’s regular menu has a nice mix of vegan and vegetarian fare including salads, apps and sandwiches. If you’re not sure what to try, start with falafel, try the dolmatis (grape leaves) or just ask the owners! Look for Holy Land Diner around town at various farmers markets and other food events.
