I went to Ruchi with some friends, since we were craving Indian food and I had heard that Ruchi had a specific vegan menu. However, upon getting there at lunch time, I was informed that they were serving the buffet only. I asked the owner what all was vegan (after a bit of explanation as to exactly what I didn't eat), and he pointed out everything on the buffet that was vegan (which, surprisingly, was most of the veggie items). I ended up getting two plates of food, and was impressed at how good it was.








The owner was very nice and gave us a coupon for our next visit, so the next time I'm in the area, I'll be stopping by at dinner time to try and take advantage of that vegan menu!

Vegan Donuts at Whole Foods - Overland Park, KS

Mark and I are lucky in that there are two Whole Foods located within close driving distance of his sister's house. This is the one we usually visit, though we've been to the other as well. This one did not start out life as a Whole Foods, and is organized rather oddly, so you may have to browse a bit more than you'd planned (or spend time asking the employees where things are).

A very tasty addition to this particular Whole Foods is the tray of vegan Mighty-O Donuts in the bakery case.


The vegan French Toast Donut is a dense, slightly moist cake donut with a sweet glaze topped with powdered sugar. It's not overly sweet, but is a very satisfying donut with a nod towards French toast.


The Chocolate Glazed Donut is what you might expect - a basic cake donut with a sweet chocolate glaze.


The Raspberry Chocolate Donut is similar to the Chocolate Glazed, but with a nice raspberry flavor throughout.


This location does not carry Sweet & Sara vegan marshmallows, but the last time we checked, the other location (7401 West 91st Street) did (they were in the bakery section with the refrigerated cakes).
