Sand Pebbles - Aurora

This restaurant offers a vegan menu and features a unique dish: larb tofu, which is not commonly found in Northeast Ohio. The larb tofu was well-filled and accompanied by a refreshing lime dressing. The restaurant is beautifully decorated both inside and out, creating a cozy atmosphere. The centerpiece of the dining area resembles ocean waves on a sandy beach, contributing to a cheerful ambiance. It’s a lovely place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal, reminiscent of a resort experience. My only concern was that the vegan menu included a dessert item that contained honey, which raised questions about whether the dishes were entirely vegan or a mix of vegan and vegetarian options. However, I didn’t see any mention of ice cream in the descriptions of any dishes. This review is an update from the previous one on June 6, 2022.

We had the option to order from both a vegan-friendly main menu and a separate vegan inset menu. We chose to include the basil fried rice and the massaman curry. The spice level was adjusted for each dish, and the staff were attentive in making sure we were aware of the seasoning levels we were getting. The basil fried rice was delicious and beautifully spiced, while the massaman curry featured a wonderful creamy sauce with sweet potatoes and fresh bell peppers. We also requested additional tofu for both entrees. The service was excellent. This review updates a previous one from January 9, 2022.
