This past week, Michigan endured some serious snow. Contemplating on should I even leave the
house this day to drive through a whirl wind of blowing flurries on my usual
mission to find some great food; I got in my car wondering what I really was in
the mood for. Cautiously driving down the slick yet busy streets, there were
two things I knew for sure. One, I
wanted a meal that would warm my insides up, secondly; this dining experience
had to be authentic and unique due to challenge of getting there through what appeared to be a “winter wonderland”.
Making a choice on where I could acquire what I had
envisioned in mind, I decided on Seva, a Vegetarian eatery located on Forest
Avenue. Located in Midtown Detroit, it’s
not an easy place to find. Missing my
turn the first time due to the entry way to the parking lot being narrow, I
finally ended up in this cozy structured restaurant that resembles a large
loft.
Accompanied to my table and indecisive on what beverage to
taste, the waiter gave me a sample of an authentic beer strong enough to knock
your socks offs yet great in flavor! I started my order off with a bowl of
their Aged Cream of Potato Soup. Stirring my onions and shredded cheddar
together with my spoon, I came to find that this liquid dish in my opinion was
rather bland. Leaving a strong aftertaste
in my mouth, I put it to the side and waited on my second selection to arrive.
I’ve had cauliflower raw, cooked and mixed with other vegetables;
however, I’d never had it the way this restaurant prepares it. For those of you
unaware of what General Tso’s Chicken is, it’s a spicy deep fried Asian dish
served with a sweet and hot exotic sauce. Seva’s General Tso’s Cauliflower is prepared
in the same fashion. Prior to biting
into it, I had doubts however after my first piece; I was immediately sold! The
taste of the spicy battered dipped vegetables made for one impeccable appetizer
filled with flavor.
The soup in my opinion was nothing to write home to momma
about however the General Tso’s Cauliflower made my dinning experience exactly
what I was looking for this particular chilly day; authentic and unique that
is.
