Subject: [sfbaveg] Indian food in SF - try Kaleva!
Hi folks,
Just wanted to follow-up with a post about last week's BAV dinner at Kaleva. I enjoy Indian cuisine, and I would definitely like to see Kaleva succeed as we need a good vegetarian Indian restaurant in SF.
First, thanks to Jay & Amy for their enthusiasm and energy in organizing this for BAV. Our group of over 20 nearly took over the restaurant! There's a couple of pics in the 'misc' folder in the gallery from the dinner.
http://www.bayareaveg.org/gallery/misc04
The restaurant is just off Market and very close to BART and MUNI (one block). It was a veggie oasis inside. Nice table decor with cloth napkins. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and thought the mango sweet & sour soup, pakodas and the malai tofuta curry were especially noteworthy. Manish, the owner and chef, made a special all-vegan North and South Indian dinner for our group. He sent me the menu (see below).
Having only been to the restaurant once (I never made it when it was Haveli's), I am looking forward to trying it again. I also posted my review of Kaleva in UG, and would encourage everyone to try it out and post reviews too :-)

The place will be vegan and organic, much like the Organic Cafe and Macrobiotic Grocery, which was situated there for twenty years before closing one year ago. Here is the info for the place:

Thanks to everyone for their support in adding their favorite or newly found veg restaurants or restaurants with veg foods, and especially to all our reviewers. It's all of your input that really makes this the 'Ultimate Guide' :-)

http://www.bayareaveg.org/ug/display.htm?id=415
And we've got a total of 370 business/restaurant reviews. It's easy to see who the best-ranked restaurant is... maybe a good trivia quiz would be which one is the worst-ranked :-)

Subject: [bav-active] BAV advocacy events 2005 -- your input & help needed
Hi folks,
As many of you know, Bay Area Vegetarians hosts about 10-15 events a month (about 140 events for 2004 -- isn't this amazing!?). While we have many social events, our number of advocacy events is also increasing. Our main advocacy focus is promoting veganism and educating the public on factory farming. We currently have two monthly letter writing parties in SF, monthly KFC demo in Pacifica and Santa Cruz, and adopt a college in SF. I would like to continue and expand our advocacy program -- and that's where you come in :-)
As an entirely volunteer organization, the events and activities that happen depend on the enthusiasm, input and participation of our members. I would appreciate hearing from any of you that have any ideas of what you'd like to do to promote veganism and educate the public in 2005.
I'll share more of my thoughts and ideas next month, as I imagine it's a pretty busy time of year right now for many folks. I look forward to working with you in the new year!
