Umami Global Bistro is a small but cozy Mediterranean restaurant located in downtown Catonsville, Maryland. The restaurant offers a variety of salads, wraps, soups, platters, and other dishes, with vegan, gluten-free, and halal options available.
I ordered the falafel salad, which came with a generous serving of fresh vegetables, six falafel, pita bread, and a choice of tahini, hummus, or Babaganoush. The falafel was delicious, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor. I chose hummus as my sauce, which complemented the falafel perfectly. The salad normally includes feta cheese, but the toppings are customizable, and the staff assured me that the remainder of the dish was vegan.
My friend ordered the grape leaves, which were stuffed with seasoned rice and marinated, creating a slightly tangy yet refreshing taste. Both of our meals were light but satisfying, and we were impressed by the cohesive flavors.
Overall, Umami Global Bistro is an excellent choice for vegans and vegetarians looking for a satisfying Mediterranean meal in the Catonsville area.
