I was on a walk in the nice weather and came across Vanderwende's. Called my coworker who also…read morewanted a shake and I went inside. This small and cozy place was clean with a couple of tables and some outside seating. A family was enjoying their scoops. They have two freezers full of flavors including some that were listed as vegan. I was greeted warmly upon entry, and could have tried any of the flavors. They do have the scoops and sundaes but I was here for a couple of shakes. Their shakes have whipped cream on top and if you wanted an extra topping it was an additional $2. After I placed my order for a vanilla shake and cookie dough shake, I did see they have three or so "fancy" shakes available with lots of goodies inside. The shakes were very tasty and my coworker said you can tell it's real ice cream! Nice to have an alternate choice from Franklin Fountain, but I do believe FF has the better flavor selection. Just under $25 including tax for two regular sized shakes without extra toppings. What a nice treat!

Anyhoo, cashier was pleasant and "granted" me some strawberry and vanilla. Thx for breaking the rules of only 1 flavor per cup. Tasty and refreshing for a hot evening!

Shhhhh, don't tell the carb police.

They also have a freezer of a multitude of grocery store ice creams to pick up if you don't want something scooped.

Baba ganoush- fantastic. It was so thick and creamy that you wouldn't expect it to be made from…read moreeggplant. It was almost the texture of hummus. Flavor wise, it was smokey and the pomegranate added a nice pop of acidity and freshness. The olive oil drizzled on top was also very good. The pita was fresh and warm and had pieces that were a little more charred which was great. Cauliflower sandwich- it is more of a wrap vs traditional sandwich. I liked how thin the wrap was. The cauliflower was very seasoned and cumin-y. I wish there was more pickled cabbage. The fries were thicker but it wasn't dry inside. They were also doused in zaatar seasoning and fantastic. Would get just the fries as a side or the whole thing again! Lahm bi-ajeen man'oushe- like a very flat, crispy pita with meat and tomato and pickles on top. It was good, nothing super outstanding on this one. Shakshuka- tomatoy, lamby, and jammy eggs. Cant go wrong with this. I thought it was maybe a touch salty but it went well with the pita to scoop Ngl service was a little strange in my opinion. One person arrived before the rest of us and they kept asking her to order first. They would come at random times with questions or random pauses when talking. Nothing super warm or welcoming or notable service wise

We went to Suraya for my 50 th birthday and sat at the chef's counter. I had heard great things…read moreabout Suraya and was excited to try it as I love trying new places. We had the prix fixe menu and enjoyed all of our items. It's right around the corner from Laser Wolf which is my very favorite restaurant. I wish we hadn't passed Laser Wolf on the way, because I couldn't help thinking all through dinner that the food was very good, but not quite as good as Laser Wolf's. I will say that Suraya wins for dessert. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had kanafeh which is one of my very favorite desserts. The kanafeh was one of the best I've had.
