Try the Okara- it's delicious. Braised in shoyu & shot through w. tender bits of shiitake mushrooms, carrots, & snow peas, the okara has a crumbly, slightly spongy texture. Give it a try!
The Spinach pie is a must-have: Shiny, crackly layers of filo dough are crammed full with carefully seasoned puréed spinach and dusted with dried herbs that taste strongly of oregano.
Himalayan menu, which contains all sorts of breads & meats, but also offers lots for vegetarians including sel roti (a bread shaped like a big ring) & bhatmas chiura (beaten rice & toasted soybeans)

Super Heebster: heat, umami, smoke, salt, cream cheese whipped to ethereal heights, crunchy, snappy roe, silky, voluptuous whitefish salad and bagel w/ nice, shiny crust & pleasantly chewy innards.
