For the veggie-lovin' hordes in this town, Nice may be the best thing to come along since—well, let's see... since Herbivores closed way back when Sunflower burned. Far as we can remember, it's been just that long—a decade—since Lawrence has had an all-vegetarian joint. This one was worth the wait. Located in the old Lulu's basement in the back of the The Casbah Market (opened late 2007), Nice offers over a dozen delicious dishes—most of which are organic, and all of which are priced enticingly right. At $3, the rice and peas may well be the best miserly meal in town. Many fresh juices, salads, and "patties" of veggie combinations make the menu of Rastafarian-inspired cuisine surprisingly diverse.

Best beans and rice I've ever tasted, and for 3 bucks! I highly recommend going the extra 2 dollars for the jerk tofu. Goes to show healthy vegetarian food can be extremely flavorful and cheep!
