A Faire of Food at Snider Plaza

Snider Plaza in University Park was introduced to me verbally by an acquaintance as I learned about Kuby's Sausage House, a German restaurant and grocery store. We headed over to Kuby's Monday evening, but found it closed. In fact it only appears to be open for dinner on Friday and Saturday.

Deciding to grab some Asian food on the way back to Oak Lawn, plans changed upon spotting a place called Food from Galilee.

Walking into a somewhat dark, but comfortable restaurant, we asked to see the menu. A couple sitting towards the back offered theirs and commented that the food was good and they ate here often. Certainly that made it worth a try.

The lentil soup and salad may have been the best part of the meal, but that's not to discount the entres including stuffed cabbage. The prices are also reasonable, with entres available for around $12.

Kasbah Grill for Falafel and Mint Tea

As much as I like to think of city centers as places to find the best food, in the Dallas Fort Worth region, Irving gives both namesakes a run for its money. To prove this to yourself, try the previously mentioned Cavalli Pizza and also Kasbah Grill. Two favorites here are the falafel sandwich (just $3.99) and the lamb kabob ($8.99). You can add fries to the sandwich for $1.99 or a side salad for $2.99. The lamb kabob is served with rice.

My favorite item here however may be the mint tea. The waitress this afternoon told me its actually green tea with sugar and mint. I never know whether to order the large or small, however. The large may be good for up to an hour of tea drinking, but the small empties too fast.
