I spent a recent weekend visiting my friends Jing and Zoe in
Madison, WI. They are vegetarian and I
am gluten and dairy free and (when good) low fructose. Surprisingly, it is easy for the three of us
to find delicious things to eat together!
Zoe pulled up the
Madison Gluten Intolerance Group’s list of recommended restaurants. What a great list - there were tons of options! Jing and Zoe previously went to
Himal Chuli and loved it. Most of the
Nepali food is naturally gluten and dairy free so we went in with hungry
stomachs. Only a few of their dishes
were dumpling or bread based and they were mostly appetizers. Majority of the menu was vegetarian and in
the spirit of our group, I chose a meat free dish as well.
We started our meal off with a small cup of soup – vegetarian
and loaded with legumes, herbs and seeds.
I ordered
Kurilo for my main course.
Potatoes, asparagus, and green onions expertly seasoned with brown rice
and garnished with lemon and half a cherry tomato. They were some of the most flavorful
vegetables I have had in a long time. I
was quite disappointed when my plate was empty.

Their prices are such a great deal, too. Many items are around $10 or less. It is a cozy restaurant – probably around two
dozen seats or so, but a great place to eat.
The staff was knowledgeable and attentive – our glasses were never half
empty before they were refilled with cold water with lemon, lime and I mint. This restaurant is worth a visit!
