Nishta veggie restaurant in Dubrovnik

Nishta was actually listed in my mother's Rick Steve's guide book which is, I believe, how we were able to get my dad to eat there. It's on one of the back streets in the walled city so that probably helped as well. When we first arrived all of the 6 little tables were occupied so we had to walk around for an hour before we came back. All the tables are outside in the little lane. We were the last table to be sat for the night so unfortunately they were out of a lot of the food in which we had been interested, like the spring rolls and avocado salad. The menu is not very large with a few options of: salads, apps, soups, main, desserts, and beverages (alcohol included). I tried the seitan appetizer, which was thin slices of seitan laid out around a few veggies. Overall I enjoyed it but some of the slices were a bit thicker and were a bit too chewy. My mother said the same. My father tried the "Om salad" with cheese. I tried some without the cheese and really enjoyed the flavor. My mother tried the miso soup which I found unlike classical miso soup and a bit too strong as well. For my main meal I had the potato salad, despite my mom's exclamation that I've been eating potatoes the whole trip. When it arrived I was worried it was going to be too strong on mustard because it looked completely bathed in mustard sauce. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the mustard did not overpower the potatoes or veggies but actually brought out their flavors rather well. The serving was large and the sauce was very nice. My mom had the falafel. I found it just how I like my falafel, crispy on the outside with a moist flavorful inside. It was not the best falafel I have ever had but it was quite good. My dad tried the Chinese Noodles and I don't think he liked them. I should say that he seemed skeptical of the whole place so his opinion should be read with that side in mind. I found the noodles a bit spicy with a really strong overpowering flavor. I still ate a lot of them and liked them more than both my parents seemed to.

Our waiter was very friendly and joked with us throughout the meal. I enjoyed everything about Nishta and would love to go back earlier in the day before the ran out of some dishes.
