well. I have been told that they have very few vegetarian
selections."
:Ethiopian:
Asmara, 739 Massachusetts Avenue, 864-7447
- Good. Inexpensive. Several vegan options. One needs to carefully
ask about ingredients in some items. "I could swear that the
injira (bread made of the wheatlike "Teff") had butter in it, or
was cooked in butter. Vegans need to be especially careful if they
are going to survive unscathed." T-stop: Central Square on red
line.

rollup sandwiches, with ingredients like tofu, wheatmeat, and
avacodo.
The Border Cafe, 32 Church Street (in Harvard Square), 864-6100
- Has a separate "vegetarian" menu which actually is ill-named as it
does include some fish dishes (you have to ask for the menu).
Other dishes seemed to be mostly lacto-vegetarian. The atmosphere
is boisterous and loud. "The wait is usually 30 min-1 hour, but is
worth the wait. You put your name in and they give you a beeper. I
recommend sampling their margaritas at the bar while you wait to
be called. I'd also recommend the Chili Relleno (lacto-veg) which
