Dharma's is amazing. Huge portions, delicious soups (I had never had Kitcheree before, but I'm now addicted). Most meals could be shared by 2 or more. My favorite dishes have to be Tofu Ranchero, Soup and Salad, and the Mega Burger.

Dharma's is my favorite eatery in the county. Healthful delicious food in generous servings, affordable, a pleasant atmosphere - I couldn't ask for more. I just wish I lived next door!

I'm an omnivore, but I don't feel deprived in the least when ordering from the vegetarian menu. Make *sure* you try the lemon tahini dressing. Even if you don't order salad, get the tahini dressing on the side. It's good on rice, vegetables, *anything.* I could almost slurp it straight. I'm also a sucker for the homemade refried beans and the crunchy sprouted tortillas they use in the burritos.

If you have any dietary limitations, this place is made for you. At the counter, ask about the ingredients of any dish. The staff will look up the dish in a card file and tell you *exactly* what's in it.

It's a kid-friendly place. There are plastic animal figurines scattered about that you can grab and play with. I like pretending I'm a hungry giraffe or lion while I'm waiting for my food. :-)
