Find your next vegan meal in Rapid City
A current Rapid City guide to explicitly vegan Indian and Nepali curries, a downtown restaurant with a current vegan entrée and plant-based Latin dishes for Black Hills and Badlands road trips.

Plan your Rapid City vegan food stops
Downtown cluster
Kathmandu Bistro and Tally's are in central Rapid City, convenient for Main Street Square and downtown hotels.
Build around Black Hills driving
Catrachos and Kathmandu Momo House sit outside the compact downtown core, so they are easiest to combine with a car-based Mount Rushmore, Badlands or Black Hills itinerary.
Rapid City works as a food base before or after long sightseeing days. Because some restaurants use split lunch/dinner schedules, check the same-day hours before returning from the parks.
