ReplyDeleteMan, what is it with Shan not getting recognition ever!? Have to say as a LOVER obsessed with Indian cuisine, who wants "contemporary" or Americanized Indian? Indian by itself is amazing and Shan has the best Indian in Uptown area outside of Devon.
ReplyDeleteCheck out their buffet, pretty sure it is 7 days a week or they have to-go buffet by the pound(like Whole Foods). The Mutter Paneer, aloo dosas, aloo paneer and veg biryani is to die for.
For contemporary American: Magnolia Cafe
ReplyDeleteHow about Chinese food? Anybody know of a good place locally?
ReplyDeletere: Chinese...Sun Wah
ReplyDeleteFor Thai: Siam Noodle
ReplyDeleteFor Pho: Tank Noodle
For Banh mi: Ba Le
Plenty of other good neighborhood options (fontana, mi ranchito, tiztal, demera, etc.), but the above are city-wide standouts.
The best fried rice, Hing Wang.
ReplyDeleteBest Pizza: Gigios
ReplyDeleteFiesta Mexicana is the WORST.
ReplyDeleteBest dive bar: Driftwood (plus, you can take your dog!)
Best patio: Fontana
Ceres' Table? Great contemporary American. Maybe we should have a Ramsey style best restaurant competition?
ReplyDeleteCeres' Table is great, probably best overall restaurant in Uptown.
ReplyDeleteAs for Mexican, i think it's all pretty mediocre to poor in Uptown and pales in comparison to the south/west sides or even Lawrence further west.
Shan Restuarant doesn't get enough love and does great authentic indo/pak food.
Best coffeehouse/cafe:
ReplyDeleteChav'a......Clark and Leland....5 star Barista service.
Best restaurant on a side street:
Cousins on Leland...tasty food...great price
Best Tacos To Go:
Carmela's.......On Lawrence behind the Green Mill
Personal all-round favorite: Ba Le.....
@ Rob Ross
Ramsey style competition? Whats that?
I heard the bartender at Ceres' is all thumbs......jus' kiddin' man! Ate there once its great.....
Pho 777 kinda spanks Tank. Not it does fo sho. And Alek, La Ciudad is phenomenal Mexican. The mole is omg, amazing, homemade horchata and empanadas. Just amazing. I love Dollop or Citizen Skate for coffee. And Beers, the B.O.B or Hopleaf. Demera is the best Ethiopian I have had. And I am totally stoked about Rokito's, house made roasted tomato salsa and hot sauce???
ReplyDeleteLiving near Montrose/Clark, I'd like to give a shout out to Anna Maria Pasteria.
ReplyDeleteAnd Thai Pastry on B'way is a fave.
Rokitos! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAlma Pita!!! Best pitas ever and awesome curry dishes!
ReplyDeleteAnd always a kind word from Miss Alma!
Oddly enough, Alma Pita has the best turkey burger I've ever had. Not that I don't enjoy the Mediterranean food, but the turkey burger is outstanding.

ReplyDeleteGordon Ramsay is a chef and has this show where he pits two top restaurants against each other. First, he trucks in 30 diners all at once to stress test the place. Then, he sends in a secret shopper with a spy cam. Etc. etc.
How can this list of 'Top Restaurants' not include 'dib' on Lawrence!?; great food & service.
