Restaurants - Indianapolis, IN

In a place where I was not expecting much, I found one great place that definitely caters to vegetarians.

Thai Cafe is located at 1041 Broad Ripple Ave, in a small shopping center on the south side of Broad Ripple. It is a traditional Thai place, but makes sure that vegans have plenty to eat. I met the woman who ran the restaurant and when I said I was vegan, she told me ALL about the fact that all of their curries were vegan, their sauces could ALL be made vegan and they would substitute Tofu, Veggie Chicken, or Veggie Beef for most dishes. I also met her son, who was down from Chicago and he had some dishes already out, so when I was waiting for my food he let me sample some of it. Their Fried Tofu was excellent and he had the Red Curry with Veggie Chicken and it was really, really, really good. I had their Vegetarian Spring Rolls and they came in a pack of 6, so I had a couple with multiple dinners while in Indy. My dinner was awesome; their number 22, "Padd Prik Bal Horapa" (Choice of meat; I chose Veggie Chicken; garlic, onions, basil, carrots, ginger, green beans, and sliced chili peppers) and it was HOT, but really good. The people here were amazingly friendly and I highly recommend patronizing this restaurant!!!!! www.indythaicafe.com 317-722-1008
