In Reply to: Western Ohio/Indiana posted by Vegan Jim on July 15, 2002 at 3:24 am:
We recently received this from a VegSource friend who lives in Indianapolis.
Although neither place is identified as offering vegan options, a quick
phone call might confirm it one way or the other:
"....we have 2 main restaurants that vegs can eat at without having to
modify (as far as i've found).
they are:
The Abbey (coffehouse atmosphere, really great)
veg/veggie friendly
771 Massachusettes Ave
317-269-8426
moderately priced, a meal can cost 5-8 dollars generally.
Three Sisters Cafe and Bakery
veg/veggie friendly
6360 Guilford Ave
Indianapolis, IN
317-257-5556
again, great atmosphere, inside an old house with homestyle meals. a little
more pricey than the abbey, but worth it as it's an actual meal!
--------------------
And here's a list from our database. Only a couple of the places
specifically mention vegan options:
Consulate House
245 S. Meriden St. (317)637-1688
Chinese.
Indian Palace
4213 Lafayette Rd. (317)298-0773
