get the BLAT

nearly all of their menu items are vegan or vegan optional, so you won’t have any shortage of options. breakfast is often served past breakfast hours so you can have pancakes for lunch/dinner. the food is prepared fresh, so be patient or order ahead of time. i’d suggest the vegan french toast or vegan BLAT, they’re my regulars and so so delicious!

This feels like you’re sitting in a sacred and spiritual kitchen, being served courses of love ❤️ prepared with meticulous care and quality at a very good price. Mukta and his cooking family never disappoint and we love coming here, especially for the Pakora! 

Pros: Warmth, Food taste , Price

Unexpected gem in tiny town

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.

Pros: You will bring food home, Don't be in a hurry, relax

Cons: Maybe they will go all vegan someday

disappointing is generous

I have to be pretty disappointed in a vegan leaning restaurant in a vegan desert area to post a negative review but think others should be warned. The reviews saying the service is super slow but worth the wait are lying. There is no excuse for the hour + wait for pancakes and french toast in a restaurant with one other seated table who had already eaten. The warning ' we make everything fresh so it takes awhile' is a poor excuse for such awful service. This is a badly run kitchen. Even if they were milling the buckwheat it wouldn't take that long and they still were not good, way too much cinnamon, bad texture. In a normal restaurant I would have sent back the gummy French toast but after waiting forever, I was hungry. Maybe that's the game plan, you wait so long you eat whatever is in front of you. Maybe the savory dishes are better but I still can't imagine they are worth the wait.

Pros: coffee

Cons: food, service

Excellent

Nice quaint country cafe atmosphere. Had the Protein Burrito with homemade paneer cheese added. It was huge, very filling and absolutely delicious. The cheese was amazing. Loved the complimentary banana that came with the check.

Simply Amazing

I found the Red Dot Kitchen on Happy Cow over 5 years ago and I haven’t stopped coming. Every time of day, the cuisines are AMAZING! Packed with flavor and made fresh. The people who work here have become like family. The owner is the sweetest, kindest woman. I love this place.

Pros: Breakfast: The oatmeal is divine, Lunch: Fishless Tacos 🤤🤤🤤, Try their vegan Thai Iced Tea

Friendly restaurant with tasty food

I was just going for a Sunday drive and stumbled upon this place. This spot is great. Most of the menu is vegan, if it’s vegetarian it can be make vegan. The staff is so lovely. I ordered the roti, daal and pakora. If you get the roti dip it in the daal! OH and I finished everything with a tasty hot chocolate.

I will be coming back!

UNIQUE and DELICIOUS

AMAZING!!! This place is at least 50% vegan, I’d actually say it’s 90% vegan because almost everything on the menu can be made vegan, the menu is labeled as well. Food is delicious!! Unique and creative. All made FRESH to order. Staff very friendly, cute cafe type atmosphere.

Pros: Unique menu, a lot of variety , Friendly staff , Great value

Cons: None. But ya know, always wish for 100% vegan

Tasty variety — most everything on the menu is vegan or can be made vegan

It was an unexpected pleasure to find a vegetarian restaurant in rural Wurtsboro near our hiking destination, Sams Point in the Shawangunk Mountains. The breakfast menu's 8 items and the lunch/dinner menu's 19 items have a nice variety of American and Indian dishes. Portions are generous. My breakfast paratha wrap was delicious and filling, and spouse's protein burrito equally so. Outdoor seating on the porch was pleasant. I'd give the place five stars but for the slowness of the service. In the end it was worth the wait, but the wait was very long. Not a place to go if you're raring to get on with the rest of your day, as we were. One suggestion if the management reads this — the herbal tea selection should include some basics like peppermint tea and ginger tea; gourmet combinations like turmeric-chamomile-rose are all well and good but some people prefer simpler fare.

Pros: Tasty vegan food with generous portions, Imaginative vegan entrees, Comfort food

Cons: Slow service when we were there, Herbal teas should include basic as well as fancy

Delicious comfort food with lots of flavor

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!

Pros: Friendly staff, Almost all dishes can be vegan, Delicious food in generous portions

Nice Spot

This is a cute little spot. We did lunch but I would be really interested in trying their breakfast menu. They were out out sourdough bread which I saw had great reviews, so I got the BLAT on a wrap. I get a little disappointed when I see places using pre-made “mock meats” like Gardein. Unfortunately that was the case for this place. It does look like they do have some other options to avoid this though. The fries we sooo delicious so o definitely recommend getting them.

Amazing Sourdough

Red Dot is one of my favorite places to order lunch from. I love how many vegan options they have and that most of their menu can be made vegan. My favorite is the BLAT and the Tikka Masala with soy nuggets. Owners and staff are very friendly and helpful.

Some tips: I wouldn’t recommend ordering from them on a whim. Plan it out and expect to wait a while for food, especially on weekends. There have been times where I’ve wanted to order and they couldn’t accommodate an order for at least three hours or more. It does suck having that long of a wait, but I really appreciate that they’re completely transparent and don’t lie about their wait times like many other restaurants.

Highly recommend ordering a loaf of sourdough to go if they have it available it’s so good.

Pros: The majority of their menu can be made vegan, Lots of love goes into their food, Super friendly owners and staff

Cons: Very long wait times

1-STAR: Misleading menu & AWFUL WAITING

Disclaimer: Happy Cow will not allow less than 2 stars as a fully vegetarian business. I do not believe they are based on the products on their menu, but I digress!

10/2/21: This place has the worst wait time of any restaurant I’ve ever been. 90 minutes from order placed and not everything showed up until we were ready to leave another 30 minutes later — A FULL 2 HOURS LATER!

The menu needs to state they are simple reheating ConAgra owned brand Gardein products for their mock meats. Why was my $14 Fish-Less Chips and Fries so expensive when the 3 filets I could have bought a pack of 6 for approx $5 at the local market? The plate was also all fries which were sprinkled with sweet spices, making them not savory.

My bf’s Protein Burrito was made from Gardein Chick’n Scallopini with vegetables.

This is my second time ordering here, both horrible service time, horrible quality. I will not plan to return.

Updated from previous review on 2021-11-07

Cons: Choosing to “omit” Gardein on menu, DO NOT ARRIVE HUNGRY

Yum!

Came by on a quiet Sunday morning and I was so excited to see everything could be made vegan. We ordered the paratha wrap and the waffles and were not disappointed—both were delicious.

It was a longish wait but I think that’s due to everyone being short staffed. I appreciated the kind service and we very much enjoyed being able to relax on their front porch.


Highly recommended!

What a gem!

We were just meant to stop for a quick lunch bite on our way. But the food is fresh prepared so it took awhile. - and it’s so worth it. We had Vegan Blat Sandwich and Vegan Club Sndwich and both were so delicious. The others had fries as well. For Thanksgiving they also threw in a vegan zucchini bread (it was super good!) and a few bananas. We are so grateful! Next time I want to try their Indian choices. This place is definitely worth the stop.

Pakora !!!

I love this place. Pakora has got to be the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. Always made fresh !! Protein Burrito is a close second. I try a new dish often, but always go back to these two. So many vegan options, and all can be made vegan on request... can’t ask for anything more. Great good -Great Staff- Great Service !!!

Pros: Everything can be made vegan, Great friendly staff

Cons: Sometimes there’s a little wait... , Because everything is made fresh!
