If you need a larger meal, they have one or two hot plates with combos in the
bakery, or you can go next door (no sign!) to get full meals which we will try
soon. One new item they have in the bakery is a delicious mix of fresh
shrimp, peppers and onions with garlic sauce on a “plate” of fried plantains.
The sauce is light and delicious and the plate is filling and crunchy.
Bollywood (as we know Bombay or Mumbai) is known for both its movie industry
and wide variety of food ranging from Pav-Bhaji and Vada-Pav to Pani-puri and
Bhel. Food and Movies- both are prime source of entertainment for any Indian
and that’s the reason Bollywood truly represents India.
Dodging drunks coming in and out of Stool Pigeons, I decided to stop in on this
small place. I did not see one person. The sign on the outside promised
Caribbean (Jamaican) food. From the time I opened the door, I could smell
nothing but the flavors from the island, the jerks, curries, and many other
island favorites.
I have a feeling the pepper soup here started my love affair with insanely
spicy food. I ate here in December on my way from the East Coast to London.
This ended up being a random restaurant recommended to me by a Hatian friend,
who knew I had a bad experience with Carribbean food in Miami (a future 1-star
review to come).
Every time my Mom has visited us here, she has been searching for a good Asian
market to buy food from and I think we finally found one! It is a 50 minute
drive from Lake Norman but we were able to stock up on lots of frozen goods as
well as satisfy our tapioca milk tea craving in the process. There is also a
bakery there with egg tarts , sweet breads, and sesame balls. The market is
clean as well and is in a relatively clean plaza area. There is also a butcher
and restaurant area where they can…
The food is amazing. I have tried most of the menu (I kid you not), and there’s
not one thing I don’t like - of course I have my favorites (chana chat, lamb
momos, chicken tikki masala, chicken korma, saag paneer, paneer kulcha…I
know…too much).
Godiva who!? My mom used to take me to Albert Kirchmayr since I was a baby,
waaaay back when the store was still located on Charles Street near Roland
Park. It’s since moved to Timonium, but the quality has not changed one bit.
I’ve been meaning to check out Lith Hall’s Save Your Soul dance party ever
since I moved to Baltimore nearly a year ago but I only finally got around to
it this past week. Lord am I glad I did! Great 50s/60s dance music, deadly $2
honey liquor shots, awesome dancing, plus a John Waters sighting, all for a
mere $5! It was hands-down the best dance party I’ve been to in Baltimore so
far.
Nova’s produces European crusty bread with a soft inside. Bakers blend a
variety of
grains, seeds and herbs into traditional recipes to create breads with the
unique and unforgettable flavors of old Europe.
When you first get there, the enterance is to the side where you might see some
shopping carts. It’s a bit awkward and a little more awkward once you get in
because you don’t know what to do. LOL! Half of it is a shop and the other half
is the restaurant. But you’ll be greeted with smiling faces and they’ll ask if
you’re dining and sit you down. Once you’ve got a seat, it’s smooth from there
on.
Absolute gem! I’ve yet to visit under the auspices of anything beyond lunch
specials, but I really dig Swahili Village. I’m all about messing with my taste
buds and giving them a challenge, and SV certainly delivers.
It was quite an experience. My friends and I had bought a Groupon to this
place a few months ago but we never found the time until last night. As I
called the restaurant to make reservations, we found out that we couldn’t sit
together if we wanted to use our Groupons. When we arrived, our server sat us
at adjoining tables so we could both use our Groupon!
A friend recommended we try the malasadas here, and they are ridiculously good!
They are only $0.80 each.
We stopped by the Lemongrass Cafe for a Burmese pop-up dinner. I am Burmese by
culture and I have to admit that the food was quite authentic.
The first Tamashiro Market was opened on Kamehameha Ave. in Hilo, Hawaii on May
1, 1941 by immigrants Chogen and Yoshiko Tamashiro.
This tiny place in Chinatown is the place for Look Funn. They have rolls with
Char Siu or Shrimp.
Cafe Shambala is a family run restaurant where you will find a very homely
environment with traditional Tibetan settings. We assure you the very best test
of Tibet locally, and make your dinning experience a memorable.
I must admit I was skeptical of this place at first, but having driven by so
many times the catchy name stuck in my head. So tonight when I was craving
Indian I realized I hadn’t eaten a thing all day. I knew I had less than an
hour to grab something and get to class, took a peek at a few fellow yelper
reviews, and without a look back pointed my mustang toward Curry in a Hurry.
Frida Bistro is named after Frida Kahlo, a passionate Mexican artist who
expressed herself by painting her life. Her passion for art and unique style
made her one of the pre-eminent luminaries of modern Mexican art in the 20th
century.
first found out about this place through a co-worker, and have been there a few
times with different people since then. This whole place was decorated with a
British theme, tiny wooden cabin with British stuff hanging all over the place.
My only complain about the décor is that they have an Ireland flag, a Scotland
flag, and a Wales flag, but no England flag, just a UK flag… It could just be
a British thing?
