For a friend's surprise birthday party in Durham/Raleigh/Cary area.

Something fun, not lots of $$$, and can accommodate a larger group of people

She's also a vegetarian, so it would be great if they had yummy menu selections she could eat

Please help!

I was gonna post some ideas, but I'm a carnivore so I have no idea what is good vegetarian wise- sweet tomatoes?

5/3/2012 5:12:36 PM

I heard that Ethiopian place in Mission Valley was really good, you should try it!

Olive Garden

bottomless salad and breadsticks

Neomonde is a Mediterranean place with lots of indoor and outdoor seating and the food is awesome and can accommodate vegetarians too. I have a coworker that is vegetarian and this is where we would eat because we would both be happy. It is casual dining.

aea would be a good person to ask- she about took us to a veggie place one time, but took pity on my soul and got us some real food instead

^ that place is pretty good too - piddlebug loves it

All that I can think of off hand... have vegetarian options... good luck.

EDIT: I just saw online that Neomonde is not only a good place to eat but is vegetarian friendly.

Golden Corral fits the bill

fun
cheap

stuff hippies can eat

I often use Neomonde catering at work since they are delicious and vegetarians can't bitch about the options lol.

If you are willing to go as far as Chapel Hill there is a fantastic vegetarian place called Sage: http://www.sagevegcafe.com/

Udupi is another great vegetarian place in Cary:http://www.sriudupi.com/

Or another fun place with meat, vegetarian, and vegan options is Mawa. It's BYOB too! http://www.mawa-nc.com/

is she a real vegetarian or pescatarian?

5/3/2012 7:09:32 PM

I don't know that I would hold an adult birthday party at Neomonde considering how limited the alcohol selection is.

Krystal Palace has a great buffet

5/3/2012 7:56:25 PM

so at an ethiopian resturant does the UN airdrop rice onto your table?

5/3/2012 7:58:12 PM

they serve u rice and flys.

5/3/2012 7:58:57 PM

Last time I walked by that Ethiopian place in Mission Valley it looked abandoned. Anyone eaten there recently?

5/3/2012 8:00:07 PM

Olive Garden
Mellow Mushroom
Neomonde's is good, Jasmine's is also good, closer to NCSU, and in my opinion, more authentic and yummy. I haven't been to the Neomond's restaurant though.

Capital Club 16

Good veggie options, bigass table in back, good atmosphere, not too expensive.

5/3/2012 8:34:52 PM

^ that place fucking sucks.

5/3/2012 9:54:01 PM

I am just down the road from Sage Cafe in Chapel Hill... isn't it a bit small though Wolfpackgrrr? I've actually been meaning to go, heard good things about it.

How has no one mentioned Irregardless? They always have a number of veggie-friendly options.

5/3/2012 11:58:03 PM

Irregardless was originally a veggie-only place. Arthur softened up over the years.

it's in chapel hill, but its the most legit mediterranean food ive had in NC

this is coming from someone who grew up on arabic food

and Neomonde is complete shit compared to this place

it has a decent alcohol selection as well if I remember correctly

thank you for recommendations, I'm going to run these by the husband. Keep them coming!


and yeah, she's not a pescatarian. I always feel bad because when I visit and we go out I always choose a place that's a carnivore's dream and then I realize my two friends are stuck eating salad. Trying not to do that again

Hmm yeah good point. It might be depending on how many people are in the group.
