MG’s

SpB and I met up around Austin Street recently and headed over to 5 Burro Cafe, but it was unfortunately super packed!  So we turned around and headed to MG’s, which was… really empty.  MG’s used to be Mardi Gras, which I’ve written about here and here.  Neither time was impressive nor horrifying (well, that 2nd time was borderline horrifying), and with the new name, I figured new management or at least a new menu…The bread was the same as I’d remembered it, nothing spectacular but nice to munch on since I was really hungry.We started off with a basket of [...]

Dumpling Cafe Restaurant

A reader of mine alerted me to the opening of Dumpling Cafe in Forest Hills about a year ago, and I’ve been meaning to go check it out for a while.  I was a lil disappointed when I finally got over there and discovered it appeared to be little more than a take out Chinese place… with a few items of interest on the menu.  Unfortunately, being the silly girl I am, I didn’t manage to try those this first time.  Being called the Dumpling Cafe, I of course ordered pork dumplings (fried).  This order of 8 was $4.95.  They [...]

Sajni 026

I have awesome friends, and I love eating with them, what can I say?
Ailin ordered the chicken vindaloo.  I know she liked it because she told me so, but she also said it was super spicy, so I didn’t try it.  I know my limits, and spicy Asian foods definitely push them, hard.  Ailin has mentioned to me going here quite a number of times so far, so my guess is she gives this place a great thumbs up I opted to try lamb korma – both to try their korma and to try their lamb.  The lamb [...]

5 Burro Cafe

When I first moved back to Forest Hills two years ago, I did my share of research on food options near me, and asked everyone around me if they had suggestions.  5 Burro Cafe made frequent appearances on various forums, but also many people absolutely RAVED about this place.Unfortunately, every time I tried to go inside, it was super packed and busy.  BF and I tried to go a good number of times but the wait generally extended over 30 minutes and beyond, at which point we’d both glance at each other, turn around, walk out and head down the street [...]

Sajni 026

When I saw Sajni 026 opening up near-ish to where I live, I was really excited.  There aren’t any small Indian places near me, though there’s Baluchi’s – which is freaking expensive (though I have fond feelings towards them… a different location but that was the first place I ever had Indian food with my friends, lol).  So I was happy to have the diversity expanded a little in our area.  I was even more excited when, a few weeks after it finally opened, a friend of mine who had just moved into the area near me went and [...]
