Description

Enjoy specializes in strict Buddhist vegetarian cuisine: no meat or fish, of course; little dairy or eggs; no MSG, for modern customers; and also no onions or garlic. Making savory, satisfying food given the cuisine's restrictions is like giving kids a box of red, green, and purple markers and telling them to draw a lifelike bowl of bananas and lemons. The results are universally fascinating, but irregularly appealing. When the food is good, it demonstrates a level of creativity that is inspiring, with fresh, clean flavors and more varieties of fake meat than Rainbow has ever stocked. Aim for the dishes with the strongest flavors: lettuce cups with hoisin sauce, "short ribs" braised with daikon, and smoked gluten with black bean sauce.
