TANDOORI SLICE

Not only does Tandoori Slice make incredible Indian-inspired pizza (yes, it's a thing!), but they even have vegetarian options and vegan cheese available. Their vegan Spicy Tandoori Tofu Pizza is packed with flavor. The unique dish gets its savoriness from mushrooms, olives, marinated tofu, and vegan cheddar cheese, a bit of sweetness from pineapple, and spice from jalapeño green chili, and green pepper. It's all balanced by the restaurant's signature Tandoori red sauce. There's also a vegan Garlic Lover's Pizza and a Vegetarian Pizza with more traditional Italian flavors (though you can ask to have it made "Indian style").

URBAN TAPRI

Urban Tapri in SeaTac specializes in Indian street food, featuring many vegetarian meals and snacks that are wildly popular in South Asia but not very common on menus in the U.S. At this casual, cozy spot, you'll find creative takes on meatless burgers that swap beef for fillings such as a patty of noodles (Veggie Noodle Burger), a crispy potato patty (Aloo Tikka Burger), or a thick slab of Indian cheese (Paneer Tikka Burger). Other dishes worth trying include the Dabeli, a sweet, spicy, and tangy dish made by filling a buttered pav (bread roll) with a potato mixture, chutneys, and garnishes, and the Vada Pav, a popular dish that consists of a deep-fried potato dumpling inside a bread bun. Service is fast and friendly, making it a great option whether you want to sit down for a meal or grab a quick bite to go.

Founded by a flight attendant who wanted to cater to her fellow crew members craving a taste of home, it offers a wide variety of classic Thai dishes, many of which you can order with tofu instead of meat. Other dishes are inherently plant-based, like the Spicy Eggplant, which combines Chinese eggplant with basil, garlic, black bean sauce, and bell peppers.

There are also many vegetarian noodle dishes, including the Vegetarian Hot & Sour Glass Noodles, made from sweet potato starch, covered in tangy hot & sour broth, and topped with peanuts and cilantro.

DIN TAI FUNG

Taiwanese restaurant group Din Tai Fung, which has a popular location in Westfield Southcenter Mall, offers several vegan items that are as beautiful as they are delicious, getting their vibrant green hue from fresh-squeeze spinach juice. Try vegan dumplings, vegan steamed buns, or vegan spicy wontons packed with a flavorful mixture of bean curd, baby bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, glass noodles, and jicama. If you're craving soup, the wontons also come in a light, savory kombu broth. You can also choose from several vegan noodle dishes, which feature thin, house-made noodles made of JUST Egg™, a premium plant-based egg substitute made out of protein-rich mung beans. Get them coated in a signature house spicy sauce or a nutty sesame sauce.
