Was there for Bonchon restaurant, but they were kinda rude as they said they gonna close the shop soon ( 9 PM) but it was only 8:40 PM. Anyway, Someone's loss is somebody else's gain. And what going on here? there is 9 restaurant lined up in the same complex. We were deciding where to go then saw this completely empty restaurant, Arachosia Grill. It was Afghani restaurant. Empty cause they opened just 2.5 weeks back.We ordered at the counter ( what’s with the order at the counter thing? If you are gonna serve us at the table then why you are not taking orders from there itself Or make us get our food at the counter too. Half of this, half of that ). Anyway, We ordered chicken curry ($9) and chicken seekh kabab ($10.5). Each entrée comes with Rice, Piece of bread, chutney, and salad. We got our food within 15 minutes ( pros of being alone in the restaurant :P ). I am not exaggerating, but seekh kabab- never had such delicious kabab in the USA so far. It brought me memories of my fav restaurant back in India ( Arsalan, Kolkata). Chicken curry was equally super tasty. Not sure why it was Afghani, cause we Indians also cook in the same way [ cause we are neighbors ?? ;) ]. Only thing is that after eating kabab, I was not sure how to eat rice and bread cause we are not used to eating rice and bread itself. The rice with the carrots, currants, and sumac was sweet and delicious. Food was sumptuous, no doubt about it. Prices are very reasonable. We will definitely come back here. There is kabab paradise in Lake Hiawatha and their menu is almost the same, and they are doing really good. But I guess Arachosia Grill is gonna compete them in this open market. Good luck to them.

Cappadocia Mediterranean Restaurant

A cozy BYOB venue offering traditional Mediterranean cuisine, signature desserts & Turkish coffee in rustic surrounds. Cappadocia is a restaurant for food loving diners looking for unique experience, great atmosphere, new and delicious flavor of Mediterra

Visited 05/19/2018Mediterranean cuisine is probably our favorite, so we're always looking for a new restaurant to try. My wife found Cappadocia online and we gave it a try. We opted for a bunch of appetizers like their sheppard salad, the lebneh, hummus, tabbouli and one we've never tried or even seen before... warm hummus with sausage. These were all very good, nice portions and presentation. The warm hummus was interesting, but really only some hummus in a dish with some sliced sausage arranged on top and tossed under a grill for a little bit. (I'm assuming that's how they warm it up). Anyway, it was good, but they bump up the price to almost double, which seems a bit much for a few pieces of sausage and a warm-up. But... like I said, it was good and something we hadn't had before. We also shared a mixed grill plate. Nice portions (for 2) of lamb cubes and lamb patties, grilled chicken and beef all served with rice, onions and lettuce. The service was very fast and friend. The only criticism we had was the lighting. We feel the lighting could be turned down a little bit to help out the ambiance. We feel the music should be switched up to reflect the type of cuisine we were enjoying. Now I love classic rock and roll, but it just didn't fit in with Mediterranean dining... know what I mean? Another good thing... it is a BYOB!

Cinar Turkish Restaurant 2

Reviewed By AndrewK916

This is a nice place with strong customer focus. Felt really welcomed. Started with Stuffed Grape Leaves, OK, but not great. Had the medittaranean salad with grilled octopus.. Really good. We had one fish dish, Branzino - excellent. Three lamb dishes. Baby Okra, Hunkar Begendi and Bodrum Cokortmo. Large serving and each is very tasty. For desert we shared Baked Rice Pudding, Baklava and Molten Chocolate Souffle Cake. All three terrific. Turkish coffee was good and heavy. Parking is available.
