“Every time we eat at Traditions, we wonder why we don't eat there more often! Not only is the food of the highest quality, the atmosphere is very friendly. Plus, we know everything is fixed to the very highest standards. Prices are fair, or inexpensive. I learn about music, current events, and other issues that are of interest to me whenever I am there.”

“You cannot go wrong in a place like this. Whether you are shopping for a special item for someone, to heading into their cafe for a bite. ... The food in the restaurant is very down home delicious. I got their tahini lemon brown rice salad and a bowl of their dahl soup. Truly enjoyed the flavors and the wholesome and hearty food.”
