The Red Dot Kitchen - Wurtsboro

The outdoor seating was lovely, and overall, it's a very nice place. The food was excellent.

Amazing! This place has at least 50% vegan options, and I’d actually say it’s around 90% vegan since almost everything on the menu can be made vegan. The menu is clearly marked, too. The food is delicious—unique and creative! Everything is made fresh to order. The staff is very friendly, and the cafe has a charming artistic atmosphere.

I would rate this place five stars if it weren't for the slow service. Although the wait was ultimately worth it, it felt quite lengthy. This isn’t the ideal spot if you're in a hurry to continue with your day, as we were. If the management is reading this, I have a suggestion: it would be great to see some basic drink options added to the menu, such as peppermint tea and ginger. While the gourmet combinations like turmeric chamomile rose are delightful, some customers might prefer simpler options.

We travel through here a lot and always look for veg stops along the way. You have to love a building with vegetarian spelled out on it in giant letters. Two things we should have known: made to order food is not fast (for good and obvious reasons), and portions are massive. The pakora dish was 2 feet long and covered half of our table! We took home more food than we ate, but we started with the blended split pea soup, the best such soup I have ever had. The pakoras have a light non-greasy beautifully-spiced batter with sweet chili sauce on top. The yellow coconut curry was divine, and we got the paratha stuffed bread with potato since they were out of the tofu version. It was huge! The restaurant is connected to a home, it seems, and we saw two gorgeous akita dogs out back when we took a walk along the main street afterwards. Very sweet friendly service too. Small dining area despite a big building but tables out front are plentiful. I wish they would just ditch the dairy and go all vegan and wonder why places like this don't.

Please get the pakora! So flavorful and fresh, not as heavy as other pakora can be. Also had the split pea soup (omg the caramelized onions! as well as daal lentil soup, perfect comfort food!
