"Aman Cafe in Temescal, by the people behind Teni East Kitchen, is a vegetarian and vegan spot specializing in Malaysian roti canai. If you’re in need of a vegetable-forward lunch that isn’t an overpriced salad, get here. Flaky, chewy, and perfectly crispy, the roti can be topped with everything from fruit and condensed milk to plant-based sausage with fried eggs. Each of these flatbreads is super filling, under $15, and is more effective at powering us through the rest of the day than a carton of chocolate-covered coffee beans. Our go-to is the roti comfort: a generous and saucy mix of tofu, potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes, bok choy, and even more veggies." - lani conway, julia chen 1
