The Shangri-La Tea Room and Cafe, that is! Good music with the Fleet Street Klezmer Band and Dancing by the Cecilia Rinn Starbelly Dancers. And then, there is always the awesomely different food served up. Vegetarian at that. But delicious. Easily a 4-Star, if not higher, out of 5-Stars restaurant. Don’t wrinkle up your nose at the thought of a vegan dinner. This is really superior. We’ll be back! Enjoy these photos of the evening and Left-Click any of them to see enlarged. Cheers!
They do have other things besides tea. Yes, they have a fairly good selection of beer and wine.
But with close to 100 different teas to select from, you should find one you like.
And some of the teas you can steep right at your table. This is a Tea Flower.
A wonderful Coconut Soup to start things off. And housemade, as is most of their salad, sandwich, soup and dessert selections.
How about this Mock Tuna sandwich? This is absolutely delicious and one reason I keep going back.
Or this Mock Tuna and Crackers appetizer.
Or maybe you would like this Veggie Burger made with goat cheese, mango and peach salsa, spring greens, walnuts and portobello mushrooms. This is almost better than the Mock Tuna.
How about the Veggie Burger Salad?
Then for dessert a delicious Blueberry Lemon Muffin Cookie.
This Power Pudding is to die for!! It’s like eating a chocolate mousse mixed with nice, creamy butter.
After eating all of these goodies, one must have entertainment.
Body art on one of the dancers!
Fleet Street Klezmer Band. Victoria Kostenko on the violin. Shlomo Kostenko vocals and bass fiddle and Mathew Voorhees on the accordion.
The Cecilia Rinn Starbelly Dancers performed.
Some the excellent dancers.
Even the guys get to dance!!!
Ah yes! Interesting and a good time. No wine, although there was a bubbly offered. Tea. All types and kinds of tea. And “finger foods” – really good. And fresh made. Yummers! Here’s what we had.
