| - Tsom is definitely aiming for fresh, vegetarian and many gluten-free options, and in that regard it really does hit its mark! Yet, after all is said and done, the flavors are just lacking a certain tasty finesse that nearby restaurants like Haji Baba and Pita Jungle have mastered. Today, the cold/plentiful buffet, which is pay-by-the-ounce, featured a curry pasta salad with raisins, quinoa with raisins, cabbage curry salad (no raisins;), a mediterranean salad, a couple of Indian-spiced hummuses, lentil salad, and potato salad. Out of these options, I'd say I truly only enjoyed the lentil and potato salads because they had more substance and were a bit creamier. The quinoa, a mild-flavored grain in the first place, had a fresh, light flavor, but I tend to like stronger-flavored items. The curry pasta salad, also light in flavor... perhaps could have just used some more spice, and I would say the same for the cabbage curry salad. The falafel my friend I ordered was good, however. Add a little tahini to it, and ZAP! Instant delicious falafel. $6.99 gets you a pita, drink and french fries, which are spiced and add some tasty pizzazz to the meal. Ultimately, I think I'll just try their hot menu items from now on, but thanks for the effort, Tsom!
