Get a Light, Healthy Lunch at These 2 Dothan Restaurants

When it comes to finding a spot to grab lunch, there’s no need to gravitate toward the fast-food establishments that serve meals laden with grease and tons of calories. If you’re in the Dothan, Alabama, area, there are two restaurants that can whet your appetite for a light, healthy lunch.

1. Cactus Flower Cafe

A chain restaurant with locations in Florida and one in Dothan, Alabama, Cactus Flower Cafe began when Lee Kafeety sought to bring fresh Mexican cuisine to Pensacola, Florida. The recipes are from her family, and she put a fresh spin on them. For lunch, try the California street tacos with your choice of meat, or the shrimp queso bites, which are seasoned and served with smoked Gouda cheese, Monterrey Jack cheese, spices, and herbs. Cactus Flower Cafe’s Montgomery Highway location is closed on Sundays.

2. Holi

Holi is named after one of the most important Hindu festivals, which marks the start of spring. The restaurant combines Indian cuisine with Indian heritage, so you’re bound to experience dishes from different regions of India. The menu features both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, including a variety of Indian street food appetizers, egg dishes served with four pieces of bread, and Indian wraps served with crispy fried okra. This restaurant is located on Ross Clark Circle and is closed on Mondays.

No matter what type of light and healthy food you’re interested in, Dothan has you covered. The hard part might be figuring out which place to eat at first.
