But having been to many vegetarian restaurants all over the world, I must say that the dishes did not wow me. It is somewhat disappointing that the locals seemed to have rated the restaurant based largely on price and quality. On those two, this restaurant is a clear winner. I had a party of seven and ordered a good selection of dishes which we could not finish. The bill came to under $80. Everyone was surprised.\n\nI understand that the owner has no intention of turning the restaurant into a high-end one, and that the local customers seem happy with the no-frill arrangement. Still, I wish the restaurant could pay more attention to other details such as seating, decor and hygiene. As much as I liked the food and the friendly service, I did not enjoy the environment - cramped, windowless, clunky tables and chairs, weird layout.\n\nThe rival restaurant down the road has table cloths, glass window and a much more sensible seating arrangement. I was told that you don't get as much value for the money. But if I can't finish the food with the giant portion anyway, it makes no difference and I will indeed give this other restaurant a try next time I am in town."^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
