Zaffran Delight -- 136 Main Plaza, San Antonio…read more I travel to San Antonio for work a lot--sometimes for more than a week at a time--and I usually stay at the Westin on the River Walk. After a few trips you get tired of the same heavy tourist menus within a few blocks of the hotel. Zaffran Delight is an easy walk from that stretch of downtown, and it has become the place I keep going back to. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly, and nobody rushes you. That matters when you're eating there two or three times in the same stay. The food is the reason. It's Indian and Mediterranean, cooked with actual seasoning instead of the generic "River Walk plate." Compared with most of what's around the water, it feels lighter and a lot healthier while very satisfying. My favorite is the tandoori chicken kebab. The chicken is marinated, tender, and has that real grill flavor--not dry hotel banquet chicken with a red stain. I get it often enough that it's become my default downtown meal. If you're staying downtown for work and want something better than another basket of chips and queso, go here. Highly recommended.

Every South Asian restaurant I've loved in my life has been a health inspector's nightmare…read more In Berkeley, I used to frequent Kabana, where the bathrooms were disgustingly filthy, and the only source of light was my phone. Best food ever. Here in SATX, for years, I've (begrudgingly) frequented Madurai Mes a few blocks away. You enter the lobby, and it feels like the staff is having a competition over who can ignore you. It's cramped and dingy, and there are AC hoses snaked throughout the place, and I've never been able to eat there for under $30, but they make a pretty good thali. And so in my brain, the best indian food comes from Resturants you don't much want to eat at. Nawabi was huge and well lit and dare I say clean? It felt slightly dated, and culturally a bit off - like maybe it belonged to an Ethiopian restaurant before - but classy. So the food was going to suck. The menu is expansive and seemingly interesting. It was missing my thali. It did have a number of dishes that offered a few things to try. I haven't, as an adult, longed for food served from a bucket - but Biriyani seems like a solid choice with which to fill one. My kid doesn't care for dosas, but does he like chocolate dosa? I don't know, but were fixin' to find out. Some of the weekend-only options had me salivating. I ordered the Plain dosa with mutton curry. This is a novel combination to me, and maybe also to my waiter, who had me point it out on the menu. It was good, the dosa was thin and crispy with the right amount of edges, the sambar was just ok, the chutneys were good, mutton curry was excellent. I skipped dessert, and opted for chai masala. But I should have really gone with some of their kulfi which looked super tempting in its display case. In short, everything was pretty awesome. I have my next visits penciled in to try the lunch buffet, peruse the weekend menu, and track down the AYCE pani puris. The only problem was that this time - on a Monday night - I was the only customer there, which was weird. But the staff was super welcoming, no Deliverance vibes, so I went with it. If y'all could do me a favor and eat here sometimes to keep this one open, that would be awesome.

I have to agree with some of the other posters about things changing. It could be the prices of food, but that shouldn't ever mess with the quality of your product. With that stated it was still a decent gyro, but I've had much better, and much larger for what I paid! A lukewarm gyro, fries & a bottle of water - plus tip ran me over $20. Will I be back next year, probably not, we have a gyro place on base, & there are great Indian places across town. I hope they work on the items people are pointing out. Service wise - the gentleman was nice once I got him to speak with me & answer questions. They have TVs to watch, & it's a well lit, open quiet place to enjoy a book of you're alone, or people watch.
