The Gentle Lentil,

800 Main Street, Worcester, 753-8663.

Sitting near a sunny, plant-filled window of the storefront Gentle Lentil Restaurant, with sitar music in the background, the fragrance of ginger and curry wafting from the open kitchen " you might be in Berkeley or Madison or Cambridge. But you're right here on Main South, where aging hippies, college students, and loyal fans of organic foods gather regularly to feast. Try a veggie burrito with tofu and black beans, or steamed veggies on brown rice. You carnivores can have meat or chicken too.
