Middle-Eastern mood and veggie fare |
628 North Fourth Avenue Tucson, AZ 85711 United States +1 520 740 0393 http://www.5thworld.net/casbah |
Pull up a cushion under the Bedouin tent and experience this somewhat off-the-wall vegetarian eatery. It's an exotic experience in terms of both the atmosphere and the edibles. Burritos (often veggie), quiches, pastas and soups are featured on the daily changing menu. A few examples of the fare: Shepherd's Pie of mashed potatoes, corn, peas and tofu in a cashew gravy; Middle Eastern Plate of Hummus, Dolmas, feta cheese, Greek olives; mocha brownies; vegan banana nut bread. Chai tea is usually the beverage of choice. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Currying favor with Thai cuisine |
5039 East Fifth Street Tucson, AZ 85711 United States +1 520 795 1715 |
When it comes to Thai food, there aren't a great many options in Tucson. This cute, clean and casual place satisfies your Southeast Asian cravings with traditional Thai dishes. It features a full spectrum of curries and noodle dishes. You'll find everything from a soul-satisfying hot and sour soup to roast duck. Singha, or other Asian beers work well with the spiced-to-your liking cuisine. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Dish |
3131 E. First Street Tucson, AZ 85716 United States +1 520 326 1714 |
If you're a foodie or a "wine wonk," you'll want to be sure to reserve your spot well in advance and make the trip to this tiny treasure of a restaurant. A banquette lines one wall of the miniscule dining space, and only a half dozen other tables are available. The look is contemporary and clean, and the service is friendly and accommodating. The place features French-inspired American cuisine and includes many vegetarian options. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A cut above your average AZ-Mex menu |
7053 East Tanque Verde Road (Northwest corner of Sabino Canyon and Tanque Verde Roads) Tucson, AZ 85715 United States +1 520 885 2842 |
For more than two decades, this attractive and eclectic cafe has pleased Tucson palates with interesting, above-average preparations of Mexican and American fare.

Considered best Thai in town |
1917 East Grant Road (Grant Road just east of Campbell Avenue) Tucson, AZ 85719 United States +1 520 325 4129 |
It's small and the service can be somewhat off, but many Tucsonans consider this to be the best Thai place in town. There are many vegetarian options ranging from salads to noodle dishes and curries. A few items considered to be standouts are: Pad Prig King (chicken and green beans in red curry sauce); Koo Chai (pan-fried rice cakes filled with chives); or duck with vegetables simmered in coconut milk and curry). No alcoholic beverages are served, but you can call ahead and bring wine or beer. Review © 2007, Wcities |
