Lula are grilled Kazakh kebab made from minced, seasoned lamb, customarily served over a bed of thinly sliced onions dusted with sumac. That’s just how they’re done at Lula Kebab House in Sunny Isles, and they’re delectable. A piquant pepper dip of chutney consistency comes alongside the lula, as does a choice of basmati rice, […]
Restaurant in Broward Palm Beach
Showing 485 - 506 of 818An oasis along the commercial strip in North Miami, this funky acoustic music stronghold has a relaxed community vibe, where customers do indeed know each other. It’s cozy, with a smattering of tables, a bar, and a stage that supports live music and readings. The friendly, casual service, then, fits right in.
Despite a sizable Broward population of immigrants from the subcontinent where vegetarian cooking is a high art, there’s a dearth of Indian restaurants here willing to venture into the uncommon cuisine of southern India. But Madras continues to buck the trends, serving idli, sambar, and those delectable little savory doughnuts called dhai vada, plus lesser-known […]
Although other Irish bars may stay slightly truer to the Irish Pub image — Waxy O’Connor’s and the Field spring immediately to mind — Maguires, which is owned by an Irish family, still retains a huge helping of mementos and scenery from the Auld Sod. With numerous “Best Of” awards under its belt, this cozy, […]
The Mai-Kai is easy to love. It’s not that its oversized tiki cocktails and Lobster Tahitienne are anything to write home about. It’s just that you can’t set foot in the place without succumbing to a deep enchantment: You’ve entered a waking dreamworld, part Blue Lagoon, part Monkey’s Paw. Maybe because it’s dark as a […]
The menu at Mama Asian Noodle Bar in the Coconut Creek Promenade doesn’t stop at noodles. In fact, its list of Thai-, Chinese-, Japanese-, and Vietnamese-inspired dishes is more extensive than restaurants that focus on just one country. It’s the third restaurant from Mike and Lisa Ponluang, who previously ran Coral Springs favorite Thai Pepper […]
Sometimes you can’t get to Havana — or even Miami. Sometimes, this five-table, splinter of a café at the western end of Fort Lauderdale
Mancini’s has a voguish-looking interior with a huge, bristling chandelier, like a cluster of giant pods. But it’s on the broad sidewalk outside, where the restaurant has staked out an impressive chunk of Las Olas Boulevard with a couple of dozen linen-swathed tables, that you’ll see the deals being made. All the usual suspects are […]
Having weathered the economic downturn that knocked off some of its neighbors, this Las Olas mainstay is still kicking. Of course, this corner joint comes with some of that boulevard’s highbrow appeal (you can spend $17 on a salad here). It’s popular place for a power-lunch, an interview, or a first date – it smacks […]
All hail the empanada, that self-contained food stuff so popular in Latin cafes, bodegas, convenience stores, and bakeries. Every country has its own interpretation of the pocket-sized meals: Colombia offers a crisp, fried corn shell stuffed with rice and chicken or beef and potatoes. Argentinian empanadas – like the kind produced daily at Manny’s Bakery […]
You’ll have the time of your life at Mario’s busy, happy Cuban/Spanish restaurant, but don’t fool around: Make a reservation. You don’t want to have to wait a second longer than necessary for that steaming, ground-beef empanada, a hefty corn-scented tamal, or a feather-light ham croquette. The crowd here is lively; tropical flavors redolent of […]
When Market 17 opened in 2010, the goal was to enter the burgeoning farm-to-table, organic, sustainable movement. Using day-boat fish, free-range chicken, grass- and corn-fed (and hormone-free) beef, and organic veggies, it was one of the first restaurants in the area to tout such sourcing. If you’re not dining in the dark (that’s a thing […]
Marumi, hidden in a sleepy strip mall in Plantation, defies the typical definition of a Japanese restaurant. The emphasis is on freshness and authenticity: a derivation of the Japanese practice of washoku, which favors of broad range of small bites over one main course. Take a glance at the specials board at Marumi — placed […]
This beautiful little room, with its waterfall and warm colors, has long been a favorite with locals. Young people crowd in on weekends for the specialty rolls, the stir fries, noodle dishes, and tempura vegetables, which you can order by the piece to mix and match. The sushi and sashimi here is about average – […]
In 2010, co-owners Paula Pace and chef Ernesto Rado closed the 20-year-old Las Olas Cafe and began again with partner Scott Kraft on a new family-style restaurant: the Mason Jar Café. Together, they decided to shed the fine-dining approach of the Las Olas address and set up shop off Federal Highway in Oakland Park. The […]
By now, we’re sure you’ve heard enough of us extolling the many virtues of the Pembroke Pines Master Cake Bakery owned by European-trained, Israeli-born pastry chef and second generation baker Mickey Grunberger, who opened the kosher bakery in 2013. The “cronut-like” doughnuts, or “dossants” as Grunberger likes to call them, are made from scratch daily […]
Late-night slice-seekers rejoice. If you’re needing a blisteringly-hot slab of mozzarella-laden reliability, look no further than this boxcar-sized mainstay. Not only do the signs scotch-taped to the wall (“NO PARMESAN, DON’T ASK”) make you mind your Ps and Qs, but cashiers will laugh out loud at your debit card (better have a few dollar bills […]
McSorley’s Beach Pub boasts friendly service and some really cheap drink specials – that’s about as far as its Irish-ness extends. Still, this watering hole is a haven for anyone looking for that perfect blend of bar vibes: beachfront chill, frat-party sloppy, and now, with its recent renovations, upscale lounge. The upstairs patio and sundeck […]
What has four corners, is filled with meat, and can travel anywhere you go? Why, a South African meat pie, of course. These feature flaky/light pastries with meaty fillings like spinach and feta, bobotie (that’s curried beef with dried fruit), or lamb and potato. At only $4.95 a pop, they’re inexpensive, single-serving meals — not […]
