"Blossoming Lotus" Voted "Best Restaurant on Kauai" and awarded Honolulu Advertiser's 2006 "Ilima Award," the Blossoming Lotus Restaurant also garnered a rave from Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel for When body-conscious Hollywood types come to Kauai, they dine at Kapaa's upscale Lotus Restaurant and their World Fusion Cuisine featuring culinary delights from thirteen regions around the world.
The award winning menu will start you off with Mung Dahl, a traditional Indian curried mung bean with cilantro, Mamapacha's Pizettas which is a delicious creation of pumpkin seed-jalapeno cheese, herbed jicama relish, avocado and arugula on a zesty flax cracker, or a Mighty Aphrodite Greek Salad of organic green, mixed green olives, marinate sun dried tomatoes, feta, cucumber and capers dressed with balsamic vinegar.
You'll see from their menu that there is a marvelous array of entrees to choose from including Super Salit's Spanankopita of marinated tofu, fresh organic island green and phylo drizzled with sun dried tomato sage sauce and served with a herb salad and toasted pine nuts, Green Curry of coconut lime Thai, fresh vegetables and steamed organic island green with your choice of brown rice or quino, and a "muy bueno!" Senorita Bombia's Enchilada Casserole of marinated tempe, beans, rice, chili sauce and cashew cheese layered between corn tortillas topped with a fabulous carob mole, salsa and sour cream.
