When: 2010

Casual vegetarian and vegan restaurant with good food. Inexpensive.

Directions: Between 41st Avenue and Capitola Village

Dharma’s has a wide variety of tasty vegetarian and vegan menu options. It's not real big on "atmosphere," but the food is good and well priced.

There's a menu board at the entrance with daily specials (usually very good), or you can grab a paper menu to review on your way to the order counter. [See website for menu.] The staff is helpful, and happy to make additions or substitutions to menu items. You can ask for your drink order in advance of your food order being ready. Once you've ordered and paid, grab a table and wait for your name to be called.

The dining room is very casual - light and airy, with floor to ceiling windows on one side, and oak tables and chairs. Lots of hanging plants, and a mini-palm tree under the skylight. There are a few resin tables and chairs outside.

There's a set up near the counter for self-service cutlery, napkins, food and coffee/tea condiments, bottled water and cups. At the rear of the restaurant is another set up with paper plates and foil for self-service "doggie bag" creation, along with tubs to put dishes in after you've bused your own table.

The meal portions are large; many times we'll immediately halve the food on our plates and wrap it up to go. We eat here about once a month, and it averages $12-14/person for lunch or dinner.
