We went to the counter to place or order, we ordered, faluda, garlic chicken wrap, Malia boti wrap gappa chaat and mango lassi. Everything except for the faluda tasted just ok. Nothing for me to go back and try it again. Now let's go back to the faluda. They forgot to give us the faluda. We had to ask 3 times and almost 2 hours later, they finally brought it out. And it tasted nothing like any form of faluda. It was vanilla ice cream with crushed pistachio. No apologies or explanation for the wait. With so many great places to have Indian/desi street food, this is not one of them.

To start, I could eat middle eastern and/or Indian (specifically Southern) food every day, for…read moreevery meal, and be happy as anything. So it only seemed natural that I'd fall in love with Food Street, but I was worried that my expectations would exceed the reality. So instead of going in... I decided to order delivery through good ole Door Dash - expecting a sad, slightly cold, non crispy shadow what you'd get in person but let me tell yas.... this was not the case at all! Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich was phenomenal! It was wicked crispy, the size of my head (quick makes this a HUGE value... not that my head is that big, but order it to get an idea), bun was not soggy at all, and it did not disappoint. Chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, not chewy at all, and seasoned well. Coleslaw added a nice vinegar contrast (I wish there was much more coleslaw but it didn't stop me!), sauce was smokey and slightly spicy, and the bun was soft. Chicken Tikka Paratha Roll was also a hit! Great seasoning, chicken was incredibly well cooked - melt in your mouth style - with small bits of char - vegetables were fresh, and the roll itself had great chew and flavor w/out being greasy (at all) or saturated. Fries were bangers too. Ready to eat my way through the menu. If it's this good when ordered, can't image what'd it be in house.

It sounds like a satanic place but really it's more of a dark horror film themed place. Nothing really satanic is here just a great name. The only thing is scary is the scary grandma at the bottom of the basement! That is also where you will find the restroom too! The restaurant is very clean. There's plenty of seating especially since that there is a whole section next door and it has a lot of great movie posters to check out. The store always has some great happenings going around. I haven't eaten in over 12 hours because the food that I ate is still keeping me full! Overall, I highly recommend stopping here. Hail Seitan!

Despite my peanut allergy, we decided to have breakfast at Northstar Café during our visit to…read moreColumbus. We started with a Hot Apple Cider, topped with maple-infused whipped cream and cinnamon, along with a couple of hot coffees. The cider was warm, comforting, and full of cozy fall flavors. Unfortunately, the self-serve coffee station wasn't kept stocked, and after waiting quite a while for a refill, we eventually gave up. For breakfast, we ordered two Mushroom Frittatas, a Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, and a side of Housemade Breakfast Sausage. The Mushroom Frittata featured three hearth-baked eggs with roasted mushrooms, sweet onions, and Gruyère cheese, served alongside breakfast potatoes and a peppery arugula salad. It was flavorful, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Although I informed the staff about my peanut allergy, I was surprised to find the crispy breakfast potatoes on my plate, which left me uncertain whether the allergy request had been fully communicated to the kitchen. The Fresh Buttermilk Biscuit, served with strawberry preserves, was one of the highlights of the meal. It was flaky, buttery, and wonderfully moist, pairing perfectly with the sweet preserves. The Housemade Breakfast Sausage consisted of two peppery pork patties that were juicy and well-seasoned, making a great accompaniment to the rest of the meal. Overall, we enjoyed a delicious and filling breakfast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. While I wish the coffee station had been monitored more closely and that greater care had been taken regarding my food allergy, the Mushroom Frittata and fresh biscuit alone make Northstar Café worth returning to.

I added bacon and it left the perfect pairing of perfectly cooked egg, chives, cheese, and thicker sliced bacon chunks. I also ordered the strawberry matcha latte, and the chocolate fudge cookie to go. The service is fantastic. They have outdoor, indoor, and some community style bar seating. You order at the counter and then a staff person will bring your food to the table. There are soda and water machines available for self refills. Everything was delightful and made for a nice treat yo' self brunch.

I use vibe intentionally here as it seems like the kind of word this place requires. All the servers wear black t-shirts, which is, you know, a vibe. But you are not here for vibe recommendations, you want to know about the food. Sure, but one more thing, this place can be busy, but it also has some gigantic tables inside and out so if you have a larger party, it might be a good choice for you. Typically if you have a smaller party you will end up at the opposite end of one of these tables from some other people vibing along with you. Chill, it's fine. Food. Yes the reason you are reading this. I'm almost there. However, I would be remiss not to mention that you order at the counter when you come in. The menu is simple, but if you have anxiety about deciding you might check out the menu online before coming. Alright, the food. So I have eaten here dozens of times over the last seven years and never had anything bad. I have sampled across the menu and salads to burgers, it is solid and in some cases great. The food is fresh and hand made to satisfy. Tonight I had the veggie enchiladas and they were top notch. Another favorite of mine is the Buddha Bowl, but you also can't miss with a burger which tends to get messy. They have a soda (pop) machine that is self-serve and features regular cola and root beer alongside a cream soda and birch beer. The vibe at the soda fountain is decidedly bubbly. Alternatively, they have a small but well-curated offering of beer and wine. The best thing? Once you have eaten this real food meal and feel chill AF you can step next door to Jeni's and get some ice cream. There is no vibe quite like that.

I asked her where I go could get good Palestinian food and she suggested trying Lavash. I was expecting a small family restaurant, but Lavash is a large restaurant that apparently does a lot of catering also. My wife and I love Middle Eastern food and I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. The Friday Special, Lamb Mencef was delicious and could easily feed a family of four, with several sides also. Basically it is large pieces of Lamb and lots of yellow rice, and a wonderful sauce, so you need to order (or make) side dishes too. We both are in our late 70's and no longer have large appetites, so this dish lasted through several meals. We both are from the Midwest and lamb is rarely on menus here in America, and the lamb on this dish is about as good as it gets. Very mild and not dried out. Thanks for the recommendation, Summer!
