I had read that Seva [say-VAH] - the long-time Ann Arbor vegetarian institution - had a "Happy Hour" menu with remarkable prices: $1, $2, or $3 for tasting-sized dishes. Well, how could a frugal eater resist?
Craig and I headed there one evening, to sample an inexpensive assortment of foods. So we tried a little bit within each price range.
From the $2 menu, we decided to go for the classic chips 'n' salsa; they were brought later than the rest of the food, by which time I completely forgot to give them their photo op while I grazed and chatted. The chips were thick and crisp, and I liked them best when dunking them into the sauce that had been provided with the Gouda Tots.
There are also daily drink specials, to complement the food, which could qualify for our mandatory $5 per person Frugal Floozie Friday budget: Tuesdays offer half-price wine, Wednesdays bring half-price draft beers, and on Thursdays and Fridays you can get $1 off all cocktails.
Small bites for a small price, available during Seva's happy hour every Monday through Friday!

You have inspired me to start finding my own little finds like this! We found a place for lunch the other day where you can get two very large slices of pizza, a side salad and a drink for $4.50!! Talk about feeling like a rock star! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd can I just say.. I'm not much of a fan of cauliflower, but deep friend and served with a spicy sauce? How can you pass that up?
Wow! That exotic-looking cauliflower dish looks like a super way to trick kids into eating cauliflower!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place! I love the inexpensive tasting menu and the interesting options you tried. They all sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny. The other day I was wondering if I could use the General
ReplyDeleteTso sauce with something other than chicken. I thought of tofu, but I like the cauliflower idea even better. What a great happy hour!
