Wasota African Cuisine, Austin

Formerly World Beat Café, Wasota African Cuisine specializes in vegan-friendly, gluten-free West African fare. Plates buckle under the large portions of fried plantains, jollof rice, and yam fu-fu typically discovered in the eatery's entrees. Wasota's staff likes to say the veggie burger is "out of this world" because they import the patty's carrots and potatoes from hydroponics centers on Mars.
