House of Dosas

Hicksville, NY  

Where can you get great South Indian food?  House of Dosas of course!  This place is always full of people when we go, but we are lucky enough that we don't have to wait too long before being seated. Great service and food in minutes!

I am always interested in trying something new and this is definitely very different from North Indian food.  Everything is vegetarian and delicious! House of Dosas makes a superb Sambar and my favorite appetizer is the Idly in Sambar!  Oh and they also make a great mango lassi!

Shaun loves spice. He ordered the Gun Powder Masala.

Underneath the huge crepe is a potato and onion mixture.  I like to tear off some of the crepe, scoop up some of the potato and onion, dip it in the sambar, and eat.  So YUM!

I, on the other hand, try to stick to something a little milder that wouldn't burn all my tastebuds.  The Spinach Masala Dosa.  My tolerance for spice has increase since we started dating which is nice, but I certainly cannot handle the same amount of heat that he does. They serve it with a coconut chutney, mint chutney and sambar.

And for dessert...Carrot Halwa with Mango Ice Cream.  

House of Dosas has one of the best sambar I have tasted!  I could drink it like soup!  Eating with your hand is so much fun.  The flavors are always very prominent in each dish and I love the smell of spices perfuming from the kitchen.

The Delta Grill

Shaun has longed to go to The Delta Grill for a very long time.  Every time he passed it, he would make a note to check it out at some time in the future.  Well, it was his lucky day, because we had just finished watching Freckleface Strawberry and had some time before our dinner reservations at Alta. We were certainly in for a treat because the food was simply delicious!  How delicious you might ask?  We originally had four corn muffins!  Shaun and I devoured three before I realized that I hadn't taken a photo yet and thus the lonely corn muffin.

Have you ever had fried green tomatoes? I think you should!  It is smothered with a delicious Shiitake mushrooms in black pepper cream sauce.  This is not your typical tomatoe; it has a completely different texture and taste all together.

We were pleasantly surprised at how tender but crisp the crawfish popcorn was and it comes with a nice remoulade sauce for dipping.

We got a taste of what The Delta Grill has to offer and can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu items.  They pack a punch of flavor in each dish.  So if you are ever in Hell's Kitchen and looking for a good bite of cajun style food, check out The Delta Grill!

Two Steak & Sushi Den

New Hyde Park, NY

OMG!  Shaun and I never ever thought that we would find sushi like we did at Miyaki in Portland, ME! Two Steak & Sushi Den is a top contender when it comes to super fresh fish which the waiter told us was delivered daily and select fishes are even imported.

 Hamachi Young Yellowtail

Salmon Skin Roll; O Toro and Chu Toro; Eel Avocado Roll; Spicy Tuna Roll
The O Toro and Chu Toro was definitely something new for us and we loved it!  No words can really descibe how good it tastes but it a melt in your mouth deliciousness. 

I highly recommend Two Steak & Sushi Den if you would love to experience a sushi party in your mouth!
