Roots

A great spot for a quiet, healthy lunch. Tea house ambiance, precise and personable service. Vegetarian menu with many vegan and gluten free options. The majority of the menu is pan Asian. There are some global choices: fajitas and a panini. My favorite feature was getting a tiny hourglass for my green tea so it would be perfectly steeped. Many plates are small enough to order two - you can figure out how large they'll be by the price. When I went (just once so far) I had the mushroom with tofu clay pot and it was around $10 and made two small meals for me. Roots shares an owner and a building with the more casual Heart & Soy. Though you can't take food from one restaurant to the other, you can walk back and forth. In Heart & Soy you can see the machines that make the tofu and soymilk they serve in both restaurants. They also have a grab & go case. This really can't be beat in Louisville for a healthy, affordable, almost spa-like atmosphere (check out the sink in the bathroom).

There isn't one single dish that I have tried there that I haven't enjoyed. All their food is amazing, and they are accomodating to people with food allergies and intolerances. The atmosphere is lovely, and relaxing. Great people watching from the street! Right on Bardstown Road, and I never have a problem finding a parking spot. I highly recommend!

The food is amazing there! The food portions are huge... I ate on my burrito for nearly two days! Everybody Must Go..

Most the food is vegan. They are open on Mondays. The potstickers are amazing. They are the best we've ever had.

If you want to try vegetarian, I recommend Roots. If you only eat vegetarian, I recommend Roots. Everything I've had here was excellent. I like that there's nothing here I'm likely to make at home.
