It was a great month for getting out and enjoying restaurants in Dayton – especially sitting outside on patios.

Green Chili Indian Restaurant

channa masala at Green Chili

One night, I was craving channa masala and got it at Green Chili Indian Restaurant. It was great and so was everything else at this yummy restaurant. I also appreciate that they can make vegan naan by request!

Wine at Winans at The Greene

My friends and I spent a shopping day at The Greene, which meant we had to make a pit stop for a glass of wine at Winans.

Drinks at Joui

My boyfriend and I stopped at Joui for drinks when we were out and about one night and it was the perfect way to close out the evening.

Dinner at Three Birds

Three Birds patio

I love a visit to Three Birds and this one was extra special because we got to sit on the patio (I tend to stop in when it’s not the best weather for it.)

Cavatappi pasta

The food was perfect, and the drinks were, too.

My grandma, sister, and I met for lunch at Coldwater Cafe in Tipp City and it was a great time all around.

First Visit to Mazu

Inside Mazu Yellow Springs

Mazu has been on my list for some time now. It’s a vegan restaurant in Yellow Springs specializing in cuisine from various regions around the world, namely Taiwanese, Israeli-Palestinian, and more.

I tried the mango lassi, hummus, falafel, and chaat.

My boyfriend got the jianbing. It was all amazing and I can’t wait to go back.
