Cafe Natasha's Kabob International

The falafel here is outstanding! They have lots of options and are knowledgable when you ask which would work. Very pleasantly surprised!

I finally tried Cafe Natasha's for lunch and found my meal to be pretty good. They have a vegetarian entrees section and the staff are knowledgeable as to which ones are vegan. I had the curried veggies with biryani rice, which was quite tasty. I have never had curry at a Persion or Mediterranean restaurant before, and although it was a little plain, I enjoyed it. As an appetizer I tried the tart pomegranate eggplant spread which I was quite impressed with. I would go back just for this dish which I have not tried before. Other people in the group had baba ghanoush, hummus, and falafel, all of which seemed to be good. I think there are other restaurants in the STL area with similar cuisine that are as good or better, but this place does have a couple of unique offerings and is worth going to if you are in the area. I would like to try their dinner entree of stuffed red bell peppers w/lentils and tomato sauce, which is not available for lunch.

Natasha's is alright, but it's kind of expensive, and with The Vine right across the street I don't know why a vegan would go here. Maybe the hummus bar?

Cafe Natasha is on the mulitcultural S. Grand Blvd. However, you'll be hard pressed to find anything else like this in STL. The food is excellent, from the appetizers to the entrees. I wouldn't go if you are hesitant to branch out in your tastes. But not matter what you choose, it will be delicious. The service is usually awesome and the atmosphere is very inviting. The food is in the moderate price range, but you won't leave hungry. It's not a vegetarian restaurant, but the vegetarian options are all worth the visit.

This is a nice little place in St. Louis that I dined at for two reasons: it had veg food and it was named after me. Well, not really but we share the same name.

I greatly enjoyed the vegan Falafel Platter with some Persian tea. I had to park out of the way as it is on a somewhat busy street. Too bad they would not give me a discount because my name is Natosha. I will visit again.

Reasonable priced, decent food. The falafel is the best in the city -- hands down. The hummus is not that great.
