They have the classic favorites like falafel and tabbouli. A small place that has a coziness. It's pretty limited as far as hours, with it only being open in the evenings. The menu features platters and sandwiches. Has most of the usual items. There's the classics like kabobs and shawarma. It's about $12 for an entree. We got a couple of the ones for vegetarians. I got the Falafel Entree. This came with a generous amount of falafel, along with hummus, pitas, a salad, and tahini. She got the falafel but in a pita. This looked like a pretty good sandwich. Good place except the hours. It's only open a few hours in the evenings, and it's closed on Mondays. There's meaty options, and plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

An unassuming little eatery at the back of a Mexican grocery store. Dona Camila means showings of…read morerespect to the owner Camila. She took care of the entire store and restaurant all by herself. The restaurant is very tiny, but the food is delish. The restaurant was empty when I arrived at 1pm. She put on the Mexican music when I arrive. Service is fast. The owner explained the menu and provided good recommendations. I tried 4 tacos of different meat: birria, lengua, steak and carnitas. All are served with onions and lime. I love birria and lengua the most, followed by carnitas. I picked an authentic Mexican soda from their fridge. I love all the drink options available.

Checked out this Mexican cafe and grocery store in Carbondale. Dona Camila looks like it wouldn't…read morebe a good place to eat to be honest. It looks like a simple family owned grocery store. However in the back there's a dining area. They make tacos and tortas. After looking around a bit we found where to order at. It's got a window in the back. There's a small menu of a few authentic Mexican items and the choices of protein. Mostly it's tacos of course. These are pretty easy to make. It's $4 each. Protein choices include beef, chicken, or get beans and vegetables. Got us a couple of tacos with the beans. These were topped with cilantro and onions. Small but full of flavor. The store has drinks such as Jarritos, and you can get big ass cans of beans so you can make tacos for later. Good place to get authentic Mexican food. It's located on West Jackson Street at Illinois Avenue in a building that looks unassuming from outside. There's taqueria is located in the back, and you order at the window.

Took a chance on trying New Kahala given the price and the Taiwanese options on the menu. Dropped…read morein on a Wed night. Ordered the pork chop rice noodle soup, lu rou fan, and the yu choy with tofu in spicy tea. - though the wheat noodle version of the pork chop noodle soup came to our table, the pork chop was full size, crisp and great match for the soup - will need to double check with the staff which noodle is on my order next time. - the lu rou fan - we realized afterwards - they had forgotten to finish it off with a soy egg and mustard greens - still a good comfort food dish (though I prefer a pork belly version) - the yu choy in spicy tea was perfect with tofu since I didn't want to make the dish heavy with a meat. Spicy tea to me is like a spicy shrimp paste described as Malaysian style at other restaurants. this dish was solid veggie option to balance our other meat heavy dishes. - the hot and sour soup and egg roll were somewhat plain as included options on the lu rou fan and yu choy (would not ding them for this since I don't expect these sides as the star) - soda fountain option with Coke products Dining in experience is a bit dimly lit...maybe creating a more relaxed environment. Chinese/Taiwanese pop was playing.

Got some lunch at this Chinese restaurant in Carbondale. It has options for both Americanized and…read moreauthentic styles. New Kahala is probably the best Chinese restaurant in town. Has a lack of competition around here. The menu has a pretty good variety for a small place. Came in and it wasn't busy. It's got a pretty okay amount of tables inside. This is located in a strip mall along with a few other local restaurants. Maybe this place gets overlooked. There were a few others inside, so they knew about it though. It's about $11 for an entree. The vegetarian ones include Tofu With Mushrooms. Crispy tofu without being burnt. Entrees also come with a soup. The fried onion was one of these. Has pretty good flavors for what it is, even for those not authentic. It's located on East Grand Avenue at Wall Street. There's plenty of options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.
