Lahana Dolma

Lahana Dolma

Lahana DolmaI first want to tell how much I love the food at Shiraz Armenian Cuisine.  Service is always good and friendly – sort of feels like family. First I had their clasic salad with their perfect salad dressing. I am addicted to to taste of the fresh mint that they use for it. Afterwards, my main dish was served, hot right out of the oven.  The meat inside the cabbage was perfectly spiced, and was served on the bed of a tomato sauce with rice pilaf.  I could only eat one of the two dolmas, which made a great leftover dish the next day.

We have two little kids, and we come to Shiraz Armenian Cuisine often.  They especially love the Chicken Pork Said.  And, as I mentioned earlier, it feels like family when we go there.  Everyone, smiles and are very welcoming. Try this one out! – It is worth it. -CD

Fish Tacos

The Fish Tacos from Smokehouse Urban Barbecue

Having gone to Smokestack Urban Barbecue many times in the past and enjoyed the traditional bbq/brisket, I thought I would try something a little different.  Lately tacos have been my food crave having read the Crispy Fired Tilapia Taco review from Mezcal Tequila Cantina and, luckily, Smokestack had a few taco choices on the menu. I went with the fish tacos and was not disappointed by the three semi large soft shelled tacos that took up the whole plate.

As expected the fish was a light white catfish that was thankfully lightly battered so it wasn’t greasy tasting at all. Accompanying the catfish in the soft taco/tortilla shells was a nice combination of cabbage and tomatoes tossed with a light chipotle aioli that gave it just a little kick. I could go for a little bit more heat but for those that are afraid of food being too spicy, this was on the mild side.  The tacos were great but I might recommend maybe just serving 2 tacos and instead include a choice of a side.
