I am a very picky eater when it comes to Indian food. Olympic-level picky. And honestly, as an Indian, I feel like it’s my cultural duty to judge every dish like I’m hosting MasterChef: Auntie Edition.
So when I heard this new spot opened up, I accompanied the family and marched in with both hope and suspicion. We kicked things off with a mix of veg and non-veg appetizers—dahi puri, mutton sheekh kebabs, the usual suspects. Much to my shock (and my family’s relief), the flavors absolutely slapped. Even the Paneer Tikka was so good it made me rethink every life choice involving mediocre paneer.
Then came the dish I had been eagerly waiting for… the Tandoori Lobster Tikka. Listen. This wasn’t just food. This was a spiritual experience. This dish didn’t just win my heart—it adopted it, raised it, and paid for its college tuition.
Of course, I refuse to leave ANY Indian restaurant without ordering the holy grail: Butter Chicken. This time, I paired it with Chilli Garlic Naan, and together the two performed a romantic Bollywood duet in my soul.
And dessert? Please. Leaving without dessert is chaos. An insult to my ancestors. I was recommended the Salted Caramel Kulfi, and wow—what a grand finale. Creamy, dreamy, and easily the best kulfi I’ve ever had. So do yourself a favor and visit Mystic India.

Tomillo Steakhouse offers an exquisite culinary experience, blending delectable cuisine, a romantic ambience, and a captivating journey for the senses. We started with a selection of flavorful appetizers, including the crispy arañitas, savory chicharrones, and perfectly grilled pulpo al carbón — each one a delight. For the main course, we enjoyed the dry-aged porterhouse and tender lamb chops, both rich in flavor and expertly prepared. If you are looking for a great steakhouse experience, Tomillo Steakhouse is where it's at.
An Italian restaurant with a botanical garden theme. Very well designed. The service was okay. They erroneously gave a beef dish for our table to my uncle who does not eat beef. It was a busy night for the restaurant so I would presume thats was why there was a confusion. The empanaditas de osobuco and the buffalo chicken pizza were my favorites. Both flavorful and worth a try.
A line to wait outside for a burger for upto 4 hrs then wait another hour for the burger intrigued us. Luckily at the time we got there the line was not scary so we got in fairly quick. The burger that won everyone's hearts finally got to me after an hour. Was it worth the hype? Perhaps. Was it the best of all burgers in burger week? Not quite. Worth a taste? Most definitely.
We heard about this restaurant through social media and word of mouth. The decor gave me a vibe of Japan. Though crowded, we still managed to receive decent service. I enjoyed the salmon croquetas. Highly recommend it. The tortilla egg with cebollina however lacked salt. The encuentro frito could have used some sort of a side sauce to dip. The kimchi was just right. Yakitori de puerco is the right way to go. The rice with the minced meat was full of flavor and perhaps my favorite dish of the night. I also enjoyed both desserts that we ordered. Interesting dining experience.
A comenzar, ordeno en linea mi comida un promocion de pizza familiar con soda de 1 lt mas cheese breadsticks con salsa de pizza y otra soda de 1 lt extra a las 7:30 pm. La orden llega a las 9:15 pm por delivery. La salsa para los breadsticks era ranch que llego no la salsa de pizza wue ordeno y estaba media abierta la copita, toda la salsa se cayo dentro de la caja. Muy fatal. Necesitan mejorar su servicio por bastante.
The best dumplings in town can be found here. In a small hole in the wall dumplings restaurant. The combo of kimchi with both dumplings and their hojaldra de cebollina is exuisite. Food comes out piping hot and quick.
Only cons for this place are the sodas not being cold and when I asked for a glass with ice for my soda, the waiter said theres no glasses for soda. But literally 5 minutes later a table asks for glasses of water and they received glasses of water and that also with ice.
Rich and creamy italian ice cream made in-house and a decent size list of flavors to choose from. This is a must try for dessert. They even have other cakes and pastries made in-house. Leave the gun, take the cannoli.
Be sure to bring your appetite with you when you dine at this restaurant. Tons of fine and dandy indian dishes to choose from. Recommendations: start off with dahi puri and samosa chaat. Then for main course, the butter chicken and shahi paneer which should be had with garlic naan. These are some rich and creamy dishes. So if you are dieting, you may want to wait till the diet is over unless its your cheat day.
Food is tasty and decor is nice. The service is however quite slow. Took them 1.5 hrs to bring out our food. Seems like they could use additional manpower in the kitchen to help handle the workload. The Bim bim bap and spicy bbq pork were delicious. While waiting, we had several plates of cabbage kimchi. That helped sooth the hunger while we waited.
