Not because I don't like vegetables or appreciate vegan cuisine, I just think that lots of restaurants who \"do\" vegan food cop out by putting lots of salads or other raw dishes on the menu and not really cooking quality food. You will not have that problem at the B-52 Cafe. \n\nI started with a turmeric latte, which was tasty on warming on a chilly rainy day.\nThe food is really outstanding. When we were eating our food it was easy to forget that you were in a vegan restaurant, The food is tasty and filling, the Middle Eastern flavors are bold and make you really not miss the protein that many non-vegans might. The baba ghanouj was smoky and flavorful. I think that this is a dish that is often bitter and not well-made in many restaurants. I'm usually not a big hummus person at all I tend to feel as if it all taste the same way. But this hummus was very delicious. It was smooth and creamy with just the right amount of garlic. We also had a Za'atar Flatbread, topped with an abundance of spices and what I believe was both sesame and olive oil, it left me wanting seconds. \n\nThe pita bread is honestly to die for. It is light and fluffy and not at all what comes to mind when you think stereotypical vegan baking.\n\nI've never really tried to find any vegan or vegetarian places in the city of Pittsburgh, but this is a solid recommendation to have in my back pocket for friends who are vegan or vegetarian."^^ .
