Man oh man this one looked promising. It had all the elements initially, and I was excited that this was going to be a “find” I’ll be taking the family to. The location is over near Southwestern Medical Center, but on a random street next […]
The fact that Yelp has a category for “African” food but not for most individual countries or regions is telling. Ethiopian food has established a toehold in Dallas with some excellent choices. Nigerian food, not so much. DT chose Yembol for Nigerian food. To cut […]
Is Dim Sum an ethnic food category? I don’t know, but these Chinese small plates, ubiquitous in Hong Kong, certainly are worth a category of its own. Kirin Court’s are quite good, although be prepared that some people won’t like the texture of pork ribs. Chinese to generic white person ratio, even with our five, was 10 – 1. And, this area has a high concentration of good Chinese restaurants, so that is another good sign. Sunday brunch followed by Iraqi sweets is highly recommended!

Located in Casa Linda, and without a lot of competition in the Cuban food world, Havana Café is pretty good. Good enough for our crew to give it an 8.5. The pork special was tasty, and the black beans excellent. SH’s Cuban sandwich was “better […]
This article about Korean food (Banchan in particular) is beautifully written, informative and will allow you to share insightful information with your friends. A really good read!
Yelp lists five Moroccan food restaurants in DFW. We went to Souk in Trinity Groves, which violates several of our rules (too trendy, not in an area where Moroccans live or other Moroccan restaurants are located, no Moroccan language spoken or native signs posted), but it was quite good and seemed to have some authentic dishes on the menu. My meatballs were called “Moroccan Meatballs”, so that is something. Good couscous too, and perhaps that is at least partially how a Moroccan restaurant should be judged?
“Souk” is an Arab market/bazaar. Sometimes a stall in one. I wonder if it is used appropriately here, but Trinity Groves is a type of food bazaar, so perhaps so. 
Wikipedia says Moroccan cuisine is typically a mix of Arabic, Andalusian, Berber and Mediterranean cuisines with a slight European and Subsaharan influence. Berber? I googled Berber food in Dallas and didn’t find anything. I didn’t find specific references to Andalusian food either, but I did notice Andalous Mediterranean Grill in Arlington and it had quite good review.
I think I’ll try Medina Moroccan (the one in Richardson – there is also a Medina in Victory Park) next because it isn’t in Trinity Groves, Uptown…..and, it is in an area with more middle eastern restaurants so perhaps that is a good sign.
