Forget impressions from heart-rending TV pleas about Ethiopia — Tempe’s Blue Nile shows that food is one of the finest things about the African nation. Vegetables and legumes abound, made luscious with slow simmering into spicy stews. Chicken, beef and shrimp shine, too, wrapped burrito-like in tangy, homemade injera bread.
The folks behind Bombay Spice Grill & Wine call their fare “redefined Indian food. Indeed, it’s a welcome change, especially if you go for healthful instead of heavy. Nothing’s fried. Dishes are prepared with olive oil instead of butter and heavy cream. There’s no cheese, either, but a few items contain non-fat yogurt. And best […]

The sunny lounge inside Cha Cha’s Tea is often filled with the scent of cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. Cha Cha’s is one of the first businesses to open at the newly renovated Desert Sun Plaza, an adaptive reuse project that is resurrecting part of Grand Avenue’s historic Desert Sun Motel. Cha Cha’s has the laid-back […]
Nowhere but here will you find a pakalolo toasted sub(smoked ham, Swiss cheese, and Hawaiian pineapple), but even the old standards served at this comfortable lunch spot are tweaked attractively. Like the Panama Red, a new take on Chicken Marinara smothered in home-made red sauce and topped with Parmesan and Provolone. Even their pizza subs […]

You don’t have to be an über-hippie vegan nut to enjoy Desert Roots Kitchen. You don’t even really have to be on a health kick.

The only thing we don’t love about this amazing getaway is that it is closed during the summer, when we most want its comforting cool ambiance and tasty lunches. Its pecan tree grove provides canopies of shaded, outdoor dining; its acres of green grass open onto organic gardens and three separate restaurants(one each for breakfast, […]

The newer Phoenix location is right next door to the restaurant’s all vegan sweets shop, Nami, […]
Some items at Green have almost universal appeal: The flatbread pizzas are tasty, as are the butterless, eggless chocolate chip cookies. But the meatball sammy and “Green” burger will only please those who’ve forgotten what beef tastes like. Basically, this is fast-food vegan, and fills a niche that needs to be filled, to judge by […]
The vast menu of plant-based Mexican dishes at GuacStar Kitchen & Cantina is a fun one, offering everything from Sinaloa ceviche to Baja pescado tacos. Chef Clinton Lomayma seems to give special care to the taquitos, one of the more consistent dishes on the menu. Packed with achiote rice, Impossible meat, mozzarella, red onions, and […]
Vegetarian food never looked or tasted so good. This tiny place serves a tantalizing array of salads (some with seafood) as well as honey lemonade and a blue corn-veggie tamale smothered in guacamole; it makes healthful eating look like unbridled hedonism. There is no indoor dining — grab a table or shady bench in the […]
