Babani's Kurdish Restaurant


Authentic Kurdish restaurant
544 Saint Peter St
Minneapolis, MN 55102
United States
+1 651 602 9964
Babani's claims to be the first authentic Kurdish restaurant in the United States. The unfamiliar menu items may keep some away, but once you try it, you will definitely come back. The richly aromatic cuisine is prepared using fresh vegetables and organic herbs and spices. The Kurdish chicken soup, dowjic ($3.50 cup/$6.50 bowl), and tabbouleh ($3.50/$6.25) are nicely complimented by naska nan wa paneer ($3.50/$6.95), an addicting, delicious house-baked bread.For those looking for a taste bud-tingling entrée, don't miss the kubay sawar ($11.75), ground beef stuffed in fried wheat dumplings, or chicken tawa, chicken layered with potato, green pepper, onion and dried lemon. Prices are reasonable and portions are enormous.

Embassy Suites Hotel

United States
+1 651 224 5111
http://www.embassystpaul.com/D...
This newly remodeled cigar room, with a sign outside that states "If cigar smoke bothers you, don't come in" is actually a nice little pub that almost gives you that UK feeling. The main bar is flooded with light from large windows, and the backroom is dimly lit and cozy. Old World plaid carpet and giant cigars hanging around add to the British Isle feel. Multiple TV screens, a pub fare menu, and a little terrace (non-smoking) that overlooks the hotel courtyard complete the scene. Alas, a weak selection of two imports on tap. However, with a weekday happy hour (4-7pm) that includes 25 cent chicken wings, this is a spot you could come back to.

The hungry masses have been eating here since 1911. The well-stocked grocery includes imported meats and cheeses, olives, spices and sauces. There are few tables in the deli, so arrive early or take it to go. The menu features many Italian favorites, like chicken cacciatore, veal parmigiana, lasagna, manicotti and a hot Italian roast beef sandwich. But the big draw is the pizza. Thick, cheesy, loaded with toppings and sold by the slice or pie. Beer, wine and soft drinks are available.

The Twin Cities has seen a number of microbreweries spring up in recent years, but this one is in the renovated 1914 Hamm Building, the original office building for the Hamm's Brewing Company of years past. It is the perfect spot for an informal business lunch or casual dinner. While sipping English ale try a plate of spicy chicken wings or ale-steamed mussels. The grilled flank steak, succulent breast of chicken with mushroom cream sauce or rainbow trout stuffed with crab and scallops beg for the colder, carbonated American-style ales. If you have a difficult time deciding which brew to order, ask for the sampler tray.

With its rich atmosphere and outstanding cuisine, this is a dining experience that you will surely remember. As the name implies, fish, chops and steak highlight the primarily American menu. An appetizer of fireworks shrimp cocktail, the sautéed scallops or creamy clam chowder will start you off well. For dinner, try Dungeness crab cakes, Mesquite-grilled salmon, Cajun fettuccine with chicken breast or rock salt roasted prime rib. Top it off with Key Lime pie or a simple apple pie. The wine and beer selection is one of the best in town, featuring many domestic and imported varieties. Cocktails and soft drinks are also served.

No one would bother going to this little tavern on the edge of St. Paul's East side if they didn't have some of the best pizza in the United States. Savoy piles the toppings on – there's no need to ask for double anything. The tiny square pieces have crispy crust and just the right amount of sauce. The ambiance is reminiscent of an ice fishing shack- and just like with ice fishing, there may be quite a wait on weekends. But the low-slung bar with light-up beer signs help the booths seem like comfortable seating. Don't let the parking lot scare you off – this is the real deal. -Marie Richie

With exposed brick, faux marble columns and alabaster fountains, this is a romantic, candlelit eatery. As a tribute to its namesake, reproductions of the Italian master's work are proudly displayed. Some of the area's best jazz musicians take center stage Wednesday through Saturday nights. Seafood lovers will enjoy the shrimp and octopus salad, deep-fried shrimp and scallops or big bowl of clams and mussels in a spicy tomato broth. Or try the beef tenderloin served atop a big pile of fettuccine with a savory cheese sauce or saffron risotto with chicken, asparagus and portobello mushrooms. Appetizers include grilled eggplant, deep fried zucchini or marinated mushrooms. Finish your meal with tiramisu or cheesecake. The wine list is primarily Italian vintage and the selection of beer is excellent.
