Georgie’s Diner
28 Dec
There’s a new vegan friendly diner in town! I was so unbelievably excited to discover this gem, just a town over in West Haven. It’s not all vegan, or even close to all vegan, but they do have a spectacular vegan menu. This was my second time visiting and it was just as good as the last!
I shared the falafel platter and grilled tofu plate. The falafel is easily my favorite dish at Georgie’s, that I’ve tried at least! The falafel patties seem to be grilled instead of fried, which I really like. Alongside the falafel balls are pita wedges and a delicious, fresh cucumber salsa. Oh, and I can’t forget the incredible tahini sauce!
The grilled tofu plate comes with stir fried vegetables and bulgar. This dish was great, too! The veggies were still nice and crisp, on top of the perfectly flavored grain. I love tofu and would definitely order it again!
We ended our delightful meal with a slice of chocolate-banana cake. When there is vegan cake on a menu, you know I must try it! The cake is so good here! Get this, the frosting is actually this chocolately-banana pudding! I want to bathe in it. This cake went quick. The second the cake was placed on our table, my sister began to dig in.
This cake is definitely going to fill my dreams tonight!
Looks great! I love finding new veggie restaurants!!
I have been dreaming of falafel lately. That looks really delicious
Aaaaah, the chocolate cake… it looks so moist. Funny that the frosting is pudding– I was going to say that it looked like it had a pudding-like texture, as weird as that sounds :,D
Oh man.. that cake will be filling my dreams tonight too. It looks AMAZING! I actually scrolled back up just to stare at it some more..
Oh my goodness, your vegan meal looks DELICIOUS!!!!!!
i can’t believe it lasted long enough for a photo!
Grilled falafel = reason enough for me to travel all the way to the east coast. that cake is reason #2!
WHOA that cake looks like pudding! Amazing!
wow ill be drooling over that cake tonight!
Falafel AND cake?? World’s most perfect meal.
Ahhh, I love falafel! I want to make some now. And I like the idea of grilling it – isn’t everything better grilled?
Lucky you! That place looks fabulous! And that cake….that cake!!!! I need a slice asap!
Falafel and cake would make me happy too!
Love falafel and chocolate cake! YUM! This is going to make my dreams tonight too!
honestly nicole…your food photography is truly beautiful. even thought im a daily reader, my infrequent commenting is only bc i always have the same reaction (and frankly how many times can you hear it)…GORGEOUS pics as usual!!!

The falafel plate looks yummy. I have never heard of anyone grilling falafel before!
That cake looks AMAZING. I would have licked the plate clean, lol.

The cake looks so moist, I want some now!
All of this food looks so delicious! I plan on eating mostly vegetarian/vegan when I get home and I love reading your blog!
Your photos look amazing too. What kind of camera do you use?
Thank you! I use the Canon 5d Mark II and a 50 mm lens for food photography.
OMG the cake… the cake… the cake…. I’m swooning!
Happy New Year Nicole!!
Happy New Year to you as well!
Oh my gosh that looks amazing. You can me craving falafel now!
I love the idea of a chocolate banana pudding as frosting. I’m going to go recipe hunting for that one soon . . .
what a wonderful meal!
happy new year to you nicole! in the end santa did bring me a rebel xsi and i absolutely love it
thank you for all your advice
Seriously, I am drooling. Finding places that serve good vegan food (or sometimes vegan options at all) is always great!
I love your blog! I had to go all the way back to the beginning! I’m a fellow vegan and I’m in MA. The next time I come down to CT, I will absolutely have to try Miya’s after your (delicious) reviews. Thanks for the perspective on CT, it’s so much more vegan-friendly than I imagined. Happy blogging!
that cake looks TDF!
Holy cow! Any idea how they managed that decadent pudding/frosting?? I would just eat it with a spoon!
That cake looks so good!!!
