Sawasdee
1222 W. 86th St., Indianapolis, IN
Panang Tofu dish is great. They are happy to make any dish vegetarian and their grilled tofu is wonderful.
Sawasdee, located at 86th and Ditch, is my favorite veg friendly restaurant in Indy. I love the fact that not only can every dish at Sawasdee be made with tofu, but since it’s Thai, the spice level can also be adjusted. I get a personal meal made just for me. It’s like being at home, without the hard work or dishes to clean.
