Noooooomm! This place is definitely a favorite. I live in Austin but come here almost every time I'm in Dallas. I'm a vegetarian so obviously there's a lot for me but my husband and uncle who are most definitively not vegetarian, love Cosmic Café as well. Behind the great food choices, the decor is definitely fun and different - lots of details. One complaint: they don't have coffee. There's chai which is caffeinated but I still like to have my coffee.

A very cool and unique dining experience First off, the decor in this restaurant is genuinely neat. I would not be surprised if "influencers" wanted to do a photo shoot in here. Second, the food is delicious and fresh. What's neat is you receive a variety of different foods so it's basically a mini buffet on a plate! I thought the samosa was quite good and really enjoyed the green sauce. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! Considering both the decor and the quality of the food, it's a full package of a dining experience.

Very delicious vegetarian food! If you like Indian food, you should certainly give this place a try! We started with the hummus palette - highly recommend, as the hummus and nan were so good! We even got an extra side order of nan! I got the spinach enchiladas, and my friend got the taco trinity. Both came with rice, beans, and salad. I liked my enchiladas, but I think the tacos were a little better. Parking is a little cramped, and I would imagine it's hard to find a spot if you visit at peak times. Oak Lawn doesn't have great parking overall, so that's a bummer, but that shouldn't keep you from going to Cosmic Cafe! Staff members are wearing masks, and there is outdoor seating available.

I was really surprised when I arrived here. It looks like a temple from outside. I also liked their interior design/ambiance that gives you a spiritual vibe. They also have a Yoga/Meditation room on the second floor. I ordered take out. I didn't have to wait long to get my order. I had Taco Trinity and Tomato Dreams. They give tacos with black beans(not in the pic), rice, and salad. I loved those. Perfect amount of flavor with all the ingredients I love. I loved tomato soup too. Tangy with flavors of ginger, garlic, and basil. Just the way I love it. I love tomato soup and always have high expectations when I order it. Most places disappoint me but this one didn't. Other things on the menu look delicious too. Will visit again soon to try those. There are very few Vegetarian only restaurants in Dallas. So finding a good one like this is like finding a treasure for vegetarians. Definitely recommend to everyone to try some healthy vegetarian food.

I was visiting Dallas, and my friends brought me here because I wanted to eat something that was vegetarian, and gluten-free. The food came out within minutes and they were nicely presented. The restaurant does not have a lot of parking spaces, so just be aware. Great hot tea too!

Unique looking place. You could admire different parts of the walls for hours. They offer Yoga here too which is super cool. I found the food to just be ok though.

Food: I've been here once before and I forgot how amazing it is! Cosmic Cafe offers both vegetarian and vegan Indian cuisines, which is exciting. We started with Samosas for appetizers and my God we're they amazing! Perfect flavor, perfect crisp, perfect everything. For my entree I ordered the Buddha's Delight - vegan. It comes with a samosa, curried veggies, lentil soup, and rice. The veggies are SPICY, which I love, but if you don't watch out. The lentil soup was very delicious. My entire experience was perfect. Atmosphere: If you can imagine a hipster Indian restaurant, this is it. There's outdoor seating, as well as indoor seating. The "namaste decor" is very unique and cool. There's live music at night and I believe a yoga studio upstairs. The service is a little slow, which I think is due to the "yoga hipster vibe"; the servers are great though. Parking is limited but they have complimentary valet.

My friend and I were in Dallas staying at the Melrose and we were preparing for a national exam that was only a couple of days away. My friend follows a particular diet in preparation for exams to ensure his mental alertness is at peak performance and a vegetarian restaurant just happened to fit our restrictions. The design of the restaurant is what I imagine everyone in the 60s saw while blending a variety of select herbs and fungi. Circumferentially the outside of the restaurant is a busy menagerie of colors, symbols and pictures, and statues and sculptures. Once you've reached sensory overload and finally make it inside you are sure to find ceiling to floor vibrancy, imagery, and ornate decorations clinging to every inch. With a strong Buddist theme throughout it's truly a celebration of culture. Our server was very friendly and food came out quickly. There were many items on the menu that were naturally gluten free so I didn't have any issues finding some delicious sounding selections. We had the hummus with vegetables which was tasty and for my main I enjoyed the spinach enchiladas. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Definitely a great find and feast for the eyes and the tummy. Also..they have a cat statue randomly in the restaurant dining area, so this place is legit.

I've been coming here for more than 20 years, since its Cosmic Cup days! I've seen it though a dozen paint jobs, some menu expansions, and assorted neighborhood changes. It's worth navigating the crappy parking situation for this vegetarian feast. I'm stuck in my ways and still love the hummus (smaller dish than in the past, it seems), with a plate of pillowy naan to accompany it, with the Dharma Bell for entree (stuffed bell pepper with rice, potato and spices blanketed with melted cheese). My dining companion always gets the Buddha's Delight plate, with curried veggies, dal (lentil soup), pappadam (crisp wafer type cracker) and samosa (fried dumpling/pocket). Service is warm but laid back. Come in, let your eyes wander over the murals and statuary, and enjoy the atmosphere along with the food!
