Lebanese vegan food can be incredibly good Flowers is a restaurant that I look forward to visiting. . I spotted this article posted on the site of The Daily [hidden link] decided to share it . Excerpt . Flowers All you can eat vegetarian buffet . A college student 's diet, although abundant in pizza and teriyaki, doesn 't generally include many vegetables.

I avoided this place for years because at night it was a smoke filled bar. But with the indoor skoming ban now in place, I finally made it to Flowers, and now I'm a regular. The vegan buffet is AMAZING! If you arrive after the lunch crowd, you'll get stuck with the dwindling buffet supply. They don't replenish after a certain time (maybe they just make a set amount of food and when it's gone, it's gone), even though the posted buffet hours say it's available longer. I suggest, in fact, getting there early 11 is good, as the crowds haven't arrived. Remember: only the buffet is vegan. Menu contains meat items.

Both the online ordering process and the quality of the bouquet were top notch. Very recommended!
