This summer we found a new restaurant on Long Island that serves fantastic vegan dishes. Tula Kitchen is in Bayshore, on the south shore, near the ferries to Fire Island. If you are on your way out east, this is the perfect stop for you. Lots of vegan options, a great atmosphere, and friendly staff. If you go after 6pm, you might need a reservation. We have stopped in several times since and we have been happy with our meal every time.
This bean salad comes to the table complementary. And it is so good we like to order more. It is made with black beans and chickpeas, peppers and carrots, red wine vinegar, and seasoned crispy pita triangles.
We love the edamame appetizer bowl. It is sprinkled with lots of sea salt. 
This was the falafel special one night. My son was thrilled for the extra pita.
This is the Tula lentil burger. It is fantastic. We love the sweet potato fries and caramelized onions. Plus, it comes with a side of hummus.
This is the sesame crusted tofu with sautéed broccoli rabe over coconut basmati rice. Very flavorful but way too much broccoli rabe!
And the finale. A vegan cupcake with a crazy creamy center.
If you are near Tula, go!!
