Cosmic Cafe

Dallas

Vegetarian / Vegan Restaurant

$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

A former frequent haunt of Wes Anderson (Kumar Pallana, that dude in all his movies, used to own this place), this beloved Oak Lawn brick-house-turned-restaurant serves up inventive fusions of Indian, Mediterranean, and Mexican food, and they're all 100 percent vegetarian. No one ever had much trouble finding this place -- it's flamboyant, brightly colored murals on the outside and the wafting smells of samosas, squash tacos, and sage lentil wraps from the inside call out to you like a culinary siren.
