"Great place for a Sunday"

  • Food: Tacos
  • Decor:
  • Service: Good
  • Cost: $$
  • Wine / Cocktails: Good

Overview:

Big Star is a great place to grab good drinks and good food. We went on a Sunday and spent all day trying the different items on the drink and food menus. Highlights were the pork belly tacos, fish tacos, and the queso. I would order all of those again.

The patio is great for a nice day. The booths inside are large but typically require a larger party.

Special Dishes:

Pork belly tacos, fish tacos, queso

"Pleasantly Surprised!"

  • Indian
  • Food: Indian Cuisine
  • Decor:
  • Service: Excellent
  • Cost: $$
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

I'm typically not a fan of Indian restaurants, but tried this one on the recommendation of one of the Food Mafia Godfathers, DC Crenshaw. What an unexpectedly great experience!

The service was great, the food had just enough kick to make it interesting without being overpowering, and the drinks were fantastic.

Whenever I'm in the mood for Indian cuisine, I'm going back here.

Must haves: Garlic Naan, Chicken Tikki Masala, & Lychee Martini's.

Special Dishes:

Chicken Tikki Masala, Garlic Naan, Kadhai Ghost (Lamb), Lychee Martini
