    E13. Thai Orange Chicken Cucumber salad  Spicy chicken
    Hadil C.

    The food is delicious, I got the Thai orange chicken and a cucumber salad. It was so good. The place is small and quiet but the service is fast. Definitely try it!

    Loved this spot!! Have been on the hunt for a new Thai place and this spot is both Thai and Malaysian so their menu caters to both cuisines and offers different options than a typical Thai spot. We got the tom kha soup, hokkien mee noodles, and the basil chili salmon. The soup was so good, super light and warm and filled with veggies. The noodles were also super tasty, they didn't skimp on the shrimp. The salmon fell a bit short for us, it was on the sweeter side and we didn't realize it when ordering but the fish was deep fried, and honestly grilled would've been nice/better. Overall loved this spot, but anticipate a wait on weekends since they have limited tables.

    Craving for tom yum soup and anything curry on a Xmas shopping day. Been to this place once. Friendly wait person, speedy food delivery and plenty tables. I had ordered a small tom yum soup with chicken to start then green curry with veggie and tofu. The lunch menu is a couple of dollars less and includes a small salad. Green salad at Asian restaurant with their special thousand island like dressing always delightful. The soup was definitely more than one person can have with mushrooms, tomatoes, bamboo shoots, lemongrass. The spicy and tangy taste always helps me recover from a cold. The green curry had me with the eggplant. Overall, it was a pleasant lunch with plenty of leftover for another meal.

    There are many Asian options in this area, but many are meat focused, like Korean BBQ, and so forth. Thai is always a great choice for us pescatarians, and Basil Delight was a nice choice. I ordered a Melacca cauliflower, which like many dishes, came with a choice of meat. I chose tofu, and was delighted with how it was cooked. This wasn't exactly health food, but very satisfying, like good bar food. The Wife also had a veggie and tofu dish instead of her usual Pad See Ew, and was happy with it. The place was bright and open, and pretty empty, and the service was just ok, considering it was just us and some take-out orders.

    Sometimes you try some place new and then you "land on landmine." This is one restaurant that I wish I didn't try. I frequent this plaza often and usually I'd go for the Shanghainese restaurant but wanted to try something new so opted for this restaurant which surprisingly has a 4 star average rating (how?). The restaurant states it's Malay and Thai food which is great because I love Malaysian and Singaporean food even more than Thai food but wow that's a big mistake by itself. One of the stable food for Malaysian/Singaporean food is Chow Kueh Teow so I ordered it but that was probably the biggest mistake of the day. Not only it has nothing right with wrong noodle, wrong sauce, wrong flavor and worst of all it's way too wet whereas Chow Kueh Teow should've been dry. The basil seafood was another letdown. It mostly gives you the imitation crab meat which was too thick to be stir fried properly so the inside was not cooked. They also only gives you two tiny shrimps. There was no squid or fish cake in most proper Thai restaurant. Lastly the tamarind prawns were better than the other two but the prawns were too small and too few to make it change my rating. This is definitely not authentic Thai food so if you expect good Thai food don't come here. The restaurant is clean and service is typical so I won't fault them on these. Go to any other restaurant or even the food court in this plaza.

    Amazing Halal Thai Food! The service is super fast and the food arrives hot and fresh! Loved the fish fillet especially because of its amazing taste and the texture. The Fried rice and the chicken were good too.

    Nice Thai restaurant. Good food. Great service. The lady gave our group much attention and was patient with all our requests. Favorite was the papaya salad.

    F2. Garlic Fish Filet

    This place is so underrated! It's a blend of Malaysian food and Thai food. We ordered the fish fillet and the crab and shrimp fried rice. Both were so good! I usually get the chow kuei tiao which is quite delicious! Service is good. Prices are also very reasonable.

    Good local spot, located in a plaza right next to the outlets with lots of parking. It can get busy during the holidays when there are a lot of people coming to shop! Food was good. Service was good. Good restaurant for some local Thai.

    Great food and great service. Food was out quick after ordering and is all very delicious. There was so much that we will be eating for dinner tonight! Bookmark this for your next visit!

    We came in Sunday afternoon at 1p and the restaurant was packed! Hopefully you're not as naive as my group, but we were rushed to wait outside before even putting our name on the waitlist (at this point, we didn't know there was a waitlist! It's at the counter) Food: Tamarind fish: super thin outer layer, and it has the perfect amount of crunch. Think of it as Asian fish and chips but better!! We loved the sauce, and it was so yummy with the veggies dipping in. Basil eggplant: I don't usually like eggplants, but these were really good. The sauce was tangy, but it wasntt overwhelming at all. I believe this came with a rice! Panag curry: the portion was shockingly small, and the beef was overcooked. It comes with green beans. This was a miss for us, probably wouldn't order this again and will try the yellow curry next time. Pineapple fried rice: the shrimps were small, but they are super crunchy and not overcooked. This was a pretty standard dish, not much to say. Overall, the bill came out to 70 bucks post tip, which honestly is pretty good. Our group left full and pleased!

    Egg rolls.

    I came over to California, for my husband's doctors appointment. We stopped for the night in Livermore on our way back home, and we both wanted Chinese Food. We ordered takeout and they were Zippity fast!! We were starving. We ordered Pad Thai, chicken Satay and veggie egg rolls. The food was delicious, really good!! Yum! Their sauces of Chili sauce, satay sauce, soy sauce were delicious. Very good food. We enjoyed our dinner after we found a place to camp overnight in our camper van. Food hit the spot. Thanks!

    All the vegetarian options!!!

    Green Kari is my new favorite! I wish I could tell you what's in the soup but it was delicious!!! It was perfect with tofu & vegetables. The lunch special came with white rice & salad. Hubby's fave is Laksa which he is very picky about. It is the only spicy hot dish he will eat. He couldn't stop raving about this one. It was delish. Portion was very generous & good for two. The dining room is casual. The walk art & paintings were nice touches to elevate the ambiance. Service is attentive & friendly. The server did check-in often which was very nice. Food, service & ambiance were great! We'll definitely be back. Wish we stopped in sooner.

    Any vegetarian no onion no garlic options?

    I believe so. They're very friendly about modifying your meal if you request it.

    Hi guys, Is the place halal certified? Who's the owner? Thx ...

    There's a halal sticker on the door. No idea who the owner is.

To start, the Mediterranean Platter was a cold mezze plate with hummus, baba ghanoush, tzatziki, tabbouleh, and dolmas; and the Hot Sampler came with cheese burekas (cheese and herb cigars), chicken samosas (fritters with spiced chicken and potato), grilled haloumi, and falafels, along with tahini, toum, and red chili sauce for dipping. We also got the Kibbeh, fritter made of a shell of ground beef and bulgur stuffed with ground beef and pine nuts. My favorite appetizers were the smooth, creamy hummus and the crispy falafel, but each item was tasty in its own way. From the mains, my favorite was the Chicken Shawarma plate, which came with thinly sliced, spiced, crispy pieces of chicken shaved from a rotating spit, topped with red onions and a creamy garlic sauce, served with hummus and fries on the side. The Lamb Kufta were ground lamb kebabs served with rice and grilled vegetables; the Greek Salad was a crunchy mixture of chopped romaine, tomato, cucumber, olives, and crumbled feta, all tossed in a tangy dressing; and the Fatoush Salad was made of chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, and pita chips in a sweet pomegranate dressing. Finally, I would be remiss not to mention the freshly-baked flatbreads at Amalfi--the Lahem B Ajeen was a soft flatbread topped with spiced ground beef, and I was a huge fan of the Za'atar, a crispy flatbread topped with a delectable mixture of za'atar, sesame seeds, and olive oil. Overall, the food here was fresh and flavorful, but I especially liked the chicken shawarma, the za'atar flatbread, and the hummus & falafel!

Shalimar serves authentic Pakistani and Indian food. The atmosphere here is casual and unassuming. It's an open eatery with community tables and chairs on both sides of the tables. There are also booths and benches for those who need some privacy. This canteen-style eatery focuses on food. You order and pay at the counter. They get your name, and your order is served fresh and piping hot. Everyone ordered something different: Tandoori Chicken, Fresh Baked Naan, Goat Biryani, Fish, Okra, Goat Karahi, Biryani Rice, and several other dishes. The dishes were placed in the middle of the long table and we all got to taste everyone's food. Every dish was flavourful and the seasoning on each dish was on-point. Their naan is baked daily - and you can taste the freshness of the bread. The vibe was strong because it's been an absolute age since we last met up. All nine of us picked up where we left off. As we filled our plates with delicious eats, conversation flowed while we joked and ate. The short reunion came to an end when Shalimar breaks for two hours before it opens again for dinner.
