4. Aguacates Mexican Bar & Grill
Authentic Mexican food with a fun ambiance
Aguacates Mexican Bar & Grill is a delightful stop for lunch, with delicious food served quickly by a super friendly staff. The free salsa and corn chips only add to the excellent experience, and the full bar offering margaritas and various beers is a bonus. While the authentic Mexican cuisine and great margaritas are standout features, the lack of WiFi access for customers may be inconvenient for some. Despite this minor setback, Aguacates still earns a solid 4-star review and is a must-visit spot for a satisfying meal.

5. India Gate Restaurant
Authentic Indian food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere
With exquisite Indian cuisine and a charming ambiance, India Gate Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience. Despite impeccable culinary offerings and well-maintained interiors, service fell short when a guest's request to wash cutlery was not accommodated. The restaurant shines with its diverse vegetarian and vegan options, showcasing a deep understanding of plant-based cuisine and skillfully incorporating coconut milk/cream in delectable tofu dishes.

6. SPoT Coffee
Cozy atmosphere with a community feel
SPoT Coffee is a delightful haven, offering a cozy ambiance perfect for unwinding. The spacious layout creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by their delectable grilled panini with cheddar and tomato, paired with a soothing Earl Gray tea. The attentive staff further enhances the experience, though the slight miss on the roasted cinnamon roll is a small blip in an otherwise exceptional visit.
During my recent trip to Buffalo, SPoT Coffee became my daily go-to spot. With excellent coffee, satisfying food, and an overall inviting vibe, it quickly won me over. The only downside was the steady stream of students taking advantage of the free WiFi, often occupying the prime seating areas.

8. Jack Rabbit
Featuring over 100 beers, unique decor, and a heated patio
The Jack Rabbit is amazing.We were in town visiting a friend and discovered a place they hadn't been to yet.And all we can ask is what the hell were you doing!!…
The food was good and the atmosphere was nice.The only 2 problems I had were that 1.My Crab Eggs Benny were overcooked and the wait time from ordering was about an hour.I understand that he was very busy and that is why I still rate him very highly.I will recommend it to anyone who likes a good lunch place.

12. The Beer Keep
Elmwood knows what draws people and welcoming The Beer Keep to the neighborhood was great.Yes, they sell beer here, they actually sell unique beers.But they offer wines, hard ciders and small plates (food).
Great place to have a casual dinner and a beer.They have a vegan option for everything on the menu, which I thought was great, so I tried the vegan hot dog and curly fries.
