Features Indian Tandoori specialties |
532 Fielder North Plaza Fort Worth, TX 76012 United States +1 817 261 6604 |
Don't let the strip center location fool you - the food here is excellent and the place rates as one of the best Indian food establishments in North Texas by the Dallas Morning News. The food here is cooked inside extremely hot clay ovens, the traditional Tandoori way of cooking in India. The rotating lunch buffet and dinner menu offers a variety of Tandoori chicken, lamb and fish entrees, as well as vegetables and soups. The chef chooses unique spices from India without overpowering the natural flavor of the food. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Texas-style cuisine, live music and dancing |
2300 East Lamar Boulevard (at Highway 360) Fort Worth, TX 76006 United States +1 817 640 6411 http://www.traildust.com/ |
Trail Dust Steakhouse offers a true Texas dining experience with live country music in a building that resembles a large country barn. Long wooden tables, complete with red-checkered tablecloths, bring everyone together in a family style. The dress code is "anything" except neckties. The chefs cook up large, juicy steaks over a mesquite wood fire. For a melt-in-your-mouth cut of beef, try the tenderfoot tenderloin, the stud porterhouse or the bull shipper(a 50-ounce porterhouse). Other entrees include baby back ribs, fried catfish, and mesquite-broiled chicken breasts. The desserts are excellent, so save room for the delicious chocolate fudge cake or the hot apple cobbler.

Fresh Mexican food eatery |
5301 Camp Bowie Boulevard Fort Worth, TX 76107 United States +1 817 377 2777 |
The interior of this place could easily pass for the restaurant version of a Mexican quilt. It is that bright and colorful. Traditional Mexico-inspired decor adorns the walls adding even more color. The open dining room is casual and the friendly waitstaff is attentive. Traditional Tex-Mex fare, such as fajitas, enchiladas and burritos are excellent. Other specialties on the menu include broiled quail and a few seafood entrees. Save room for dessert—the flan is excellent here. Review © 2007, Wcities |
