 Dessert food |
3300 West Anderson Lane, Suite 303 Austin, TX 78757 United States +1 512 420 2222 http://www.alborzpersiancuisin... |
For truly exotic food that you won't find at every street corner in Texas, try the subtle cuisine of Persia. In true Middle Eastern style, the reception is warm and welcoming and the menu consists of food evocative of the Arabian Nights - sensuous and bold. The menu highlights are the Kashk-o-Bademjan; a rich, smoky, baked-eggplant starter topped with dry yogurt, mint, walnuts and garlic, and Chelo Kabob-e-Koobideh (ground beef kabob) with char-grilled tomatoes with herbs and onions. The dessert menu has delightful items such as Persian ice cream with rosewater, pistachios and saffron. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A maelstrom of taste |
606 Rio Grande Street Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 479 8117 http://www.aquarellerestaurant... |
Everything about this restaurant reeks of style and grace, so it's no wonder that it offers the finest of French cuisine. The dining area is done up in shades of white, cream and subtle upholstery. Chef Jacques Richard uses only the finest ingredients and has created an a la carte selection. The menu is seasonal but the beautiful presentation of the food is a mainstay of the restaurant.

Love the grill |
3600 North Capital of Texas Highway (Loop 360) Building A, Suite 110 Austin, TX 78746 United States +1 512 327 9033 http://www.berryhilltamales.com |
Serving what the owners of this restaurant call, 'a new twist to this different kinda Mex', Berryhill Baja grill serves the most superlative Mexican food in town. Sink your teeth into the restaurant's famous Tamales, served the traditional way, steamed in husk. Or try the deep fried Chimichangas, served with fajita beef, chicken, grilled fish or spinach. Or try the Chicken Enchiladas served with black beans and rice - just mouthwatering. If you want to pop in for a light snack, they also serve popular Mexican appetizers such as Shrimp Diablo, chips and salsa as well as Chicken Nachos. After this meal, you'll want to run to every Mexican and ask for their family recipe of your favourite food! Review © 2007, Wcities |

From the frying pan to the tandoor |
1601 Guadalupe Street Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 322 5131 http://www.claypit.com/Home.as... |
Set in an attractive stone building, this Indian restaurant serves mostly North Indian food from the clay pit. The chef Maqbool Ahmed is the real McCoy, having served a stint at the Oberoi Hotel in New Delhi and has brought his panache for the tandoor to Austin. A must eat at this restaurant is the Tandoori platter bedecked with chicken, lamb, broccoli, tomatoes and even zucchini. As always, Indian restaurants are a haven for vegetarians and this is no exception serving Dals, Paneer and a lot of veggie curries. Review © 2007, Wcities |

All under one roof |
3909 North I-35 Service Road Austin, TX 78722 United States +1 512 406 3900 http://www.fiestamart.com/ |
The Fiesta Mart is more than a grocery or convenience store. Not only is it the best place to get authentic ingredients from around the world(Mexican tortillas, Jamaican jerk sauce, Polish sauerkraut) but also houses a variety of restaurants (Sno-Beach Hawaiian Shaved ice, Subway) and services(O'Reilly Auto Parts, Western Union, Blockbuster Video, Music Mania). All signs are bi-lingual and Fiesta Mart is open all day everyday. If there's anything missing, it's a bachelor pad and the kitchen sink. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Viva Mexico! |
1412 South Congress Avenue Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 447 7688 http://www.guerostacobar.com/ |
All restaurants could do with a famous patron so the owners of this Mexican taco bar proudly say that Bill Clinton ate here. Apart from this bit of information, it is interesting to note that the Migas are topnotch with dollops of cheese, peppers and fresh corn tortillas. The restaurant has a couple of dining rooms, one of which is built around the kitchen, giving it a very homely feel. Check out the Fish taco and the Queso flameado, or the El Presiendto (no guessing for who orders this), Chicken breast taco, a Beef taco, Tamale and Guacamole. Don't forget to chug down the famous margaritas made with fresh lime juice or have a shot of first-class tequila. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Reach for the olives |
4701A Burnet Road Austin, TX 78756 United States +1 512 323 6770 |
Phoenicia's Bakery is mainly known for its delectable groceries from around the world, offering a range of products from fresh olives to Middle Eastern spices. The bakery section stocks homemade pastries such as Pistachio Baklava and Pistachio Fleurets and many more delights. The deli though is the cherry on the proverbial cake, serving the freshest pita bread in town as well as lip-smacking falafel with hummus and tabouli salad. Ideal for breakfast lunch or dinner!

This restaurant is part of the owner's retail and wholesale market, so you are sure that the fish is fresh.

You can bring your whole family here, as the rates are moderate. Also make sure you pick up a free copy of recipes on your way out. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Comfort in pasta |
13450 North US Highway 183 Austin, TX 78750 United States +1 512 335 5115 http://www.realespizzaandcafe.... |
There is something comforting about family-run Italian restaurants. It conjures up images of big mama serving delicious food. So, step inside for some comfort food at this café-style restaurant minus big mama. The favorites are the Lasagna and Baked Ziti, as well as the Seafood Linguine with Mussels and Scallops. If you want to immerse yourself in cheese, then order the pizza and Eggplant Parmesan Sub. With great home cooking from Southern Italy at an affordable price, this one's a winner.

Award winning pizza |
13812 Research Boulevard Austin, TX 78759 United States +1 512 257 1200 http://www.saccones.com |
The slogan for Saccone's pizza is 'Pizza with a Jersey attitude' and that's exactly what it is, the best New York pizza to hit Austin. With a thin crispy base with sumptuous toppings, up to five toppings are allowed or even more if you want (for an additional price). Family favorites are Dan's Special which has sausage, meatballs, mushrooms, black olives, onions, garlic, olive oil, basil, oregano and black pepper (whew!) or try the Uncle Tom's Special with Italian sausage, green peppers, onions and fresh basil. Saccone's also serves subs and hotdogs. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cheap living |
603 Barton Springs Road Austin, TX 78704-1144 United States +1 512 478 6322 |
Sandy's is one of those all American cafes but this one has been around for nearly twenty years and its neon custard cone has been its trademark. So, if you want a bit of classic Americana, drive through and pick up a meal or sit at one of the picnic tables. The menu consists of mouthwatering junk food, such as Cheese burgers, which can be built on by asking for double meat, double cheese or double bun! Everything is affordable here, within a couple of bucks, the price you pay for greasy but enticing food! Review © 2007, Wcities |

No dessert please! |
1600 South Congress Avenue Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 447 3905 http://www.southcongresscafe.com/ |
This restaurant has it all: a delectable menu, happy hour and a ritzy location in the upscale shopping area of Austin. The décor is airy and trendy with large windows overlooking the streets and slick booths that are comfortable. The cuisine leans towards South western and the restaurant serves brunch, lunch and dinner. Dishes to look out for are the scandalously succulent Pork Tenderloin, Cajun Seafood Scampi and Blue-Corn Crepe. The portions are humongous so you may want to skip dessert. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Italian Factor |
2201 College Avenue Live Oak & South Congress Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 443 4200 http://www.treehousegrill.com/ |
Sometimes the weather just calls out to be enjoyed and when that happens make the most of it by heading to the Tree House Italian Grille, where you can sit on the pretty patio, and enjoy a meal. The grille serves Italian-American food and offers up delights like the veal cannelloni, which is homemade. Adding to the charm of this restaurant are the live music nights on Fridays and Saturdays. So, go ahead book a table and take someone special because you won't feel like leaving for a long time. Review © 2007, Wcities |
