We recently visited Green Restaurant at 2240 North Scottsdale Road where the menu is strictly vegan. The little restaurant nestled into the corner of a nondescript strip mall is easy to miss. The atmosphere is casual, maybe you can glean that from the old Volkswagen Beetle doors lined up along the wall pictured above. The food is healthy and inexpensive, not bad, but not great either. Caroline had the apricot miso noodles, but we couldn’t quite taste the miso or find the apricots, it tasted a bit too much of simple sweet and sour. I had the coconut curry vegetables with crispy tofu. The curry tasted of generic pre-mixed uninspired curry mix, the coconut milk if it was there was not to be tasted, matter of fact the meal was too dry for my liking. One thing that was fantastic was the chili thyme fries. When they told us their chili was made with TVP (textured vegetable protein), I immediately wanted to pass, but they insisted this stuff was really good and they weren’t kidding. Our main dishes were only about $6.00 each and the fries were $2.95 I believe.
