• Fabulous Food Vegan& Gluten Free !!!

Surprisingly there are few vegan restaurant options in Santa Barbara so we were apprehensive when we entered Adama for lunch. There was no need as the menu was varied and innovative and the food was extremely tasty and satisfying. I had my first quiche(gluten free crust!) in over 30 years (I have been vegan for over 30 years) and it was quite exquisite -light and tasty and filled with veggies.My husband had the Chipotle Panini which was had a lovely chipotle aoli which gave it a great flavor - the gluten free bread was unique and irresistibly crisp.I couldn't finish my quiche so took some home for later and my husband took and apple pie home and we thoroughly enjoyed later with a cup of tea. Because of the aforementioned shortage of vegan options we went back for dinner and were just as impressed. We shared an onion soup -the cheesy crisp topping was outstanding - and then I had Tandoori Spiced Cauliflower and lentil curry and my husband had the Pot Pie - both were very good indeed and the we both really enjoyed the flavors and textures the chef created. Marsha,the manager.couldn't have done more for us and the rest of the staff at both meals were friendly,attentive and very knowledgeable about each dish (I ask lots of questions) Don't miss this restaurant when you're in Santa Barbara
