Service was prompt after we were seated at the table. The food came out pretty quickly. Speaking of food, the squeeze ordered the Mango Chicken and I ordered the Chicken Tandoori. Both dishes were really good and came with rice. We did select hot, but next time it will be very hot. We also got an order of Naan. The flavors of the spices was very good. My Tandori could have been more stove hot, but it was good enough to eat. I used pieces of the naan to wrap the onions and bell peppers up. We will go back there in a couple weeks to try other dishes. I'm not an Indian Curry fan, and we smelled it going into the door, but it quickly dissipated.

Weird experience. Went for dinner to check out the neighborhood. Walk in to Springhouse, & a lady…read morebehind the bar counter is taking orders from a family in front of us. They finish, we step up to the counter to order. The lady working the counter just stared at us. We look at her expectantly, awaiting an intro of some sort or any acknowledgement of our existence, a greeting, or to be given any instruction about ordering. 20 seconds go by of us all just staring at each other like she has forgotten what the script is. We finally are forced to just throw out orders at her non-responsive face. We joke about having waited for an intro & she continues to stare. Very strange encounter, neither of us have ever experienced this anywhere in our lives. It was almost as if she could not deign to greet us. Then when the food came out, they forgot the needed tartar sauce then did an instant 180 and walked away before I could also ask for needed silverware. Don't expect any real service here, it's like waitress & waiters light. The food? Fine & why this is a 3-star review. Not worth the experience. Won't go back. Ordering at the counter before service is served also required a tip. Asking for a tip before proving this level of service is scammy.

Going to the Springhouse wasn't actually my plan today. I headed to Hidden Springs to check out…read moreRooted which is a coffee joint attached to the restaurant. On their website, it said they closed at 2. I didn't realize that this coffee shop is only 7 minutes from my house which is a lot easier than heading down State. So, my daughter and I made our way to Rooted for an afternoon caffeinated beverage. We showed up a little after 1. Come to find out they decided to close at 1 so I didn't get a chance to try out their coffee. My daughter was hungry so we decided to head into the Springhouse to get something to eat. To be honest, their price point here is quite amusing. I get that you're in a up scale area but let's be realistic. 20 bucks for a burger? My daughter got their lunch special which was a chicken Cesar wrap and it was still 17 bucks. I wasn't in the mood to eat anything big so I got something off their appetizer menu. The fried cauliflower seemed up my alley so I ordered that as my meal. It was mid afternoon so it was pretty chill. There were a few guests dining there. My daughter and I hung out while our food was being prepared. The venue is very big. There's a nice bar area with a big screen TV. Great for conversation, drinks and football. There are a good amount of tables that can handle quite a few people. The decor was very simple country shabby. I love the old school photos of the farmhouses they displayed. I adore old photos that carry so much history. It's cool to see what life was like back then. My fried cauliflower came out first. The presentation of the fried cauliflower was rather annoying. Like they were thrown on one side of the basket cause it was just easier for them. I was also surprised I didn't get any type of dipping sauce with them. It's humorous really, 9 bucks for cauliflower and no dip. No plates, no napkins, no silverware was given when my food was dropped off. I guess we were supposed to wipe our hands on our clothes and eat with our hands. So that tip that was at the end of my transaction is for.... service? What service? I went and asked for some utensils. My daughter's lunch was dropped off after we started on the cauliflower. I can tell my cauliflower had been sitting under the heat lamp for a while. They weren't hot. The exterior of the cauliflower was not crunchy. The sauce had been sitting on the fried batter too long and it became mushy. I scraped off the mushy batter and just ate the cauliflower with no dipping sauce. My daughter's wrap looked pretty basic for 17 bucks. We also found a blonde hair in her food. We were offered a new wrap but who wants a new wrap when my daughter just chewed on someone's hair. The venue is nice. This joint has been on my to go list for a while so it was cool I got to scope it out today. But, the food was nothing special. They start the tip percentage at 20% for you to get your own utensils, napkins and beverage. Tipping is earned and or atleast be given some decent service but taking our order at the bar or dropping off food isn't service to me. I'll pass on the subpar overpriced food and lack of service. I'll stick to somewhere in my neck of the woods.

Good choices on the menu. We picked the popular pork belly dish, Pad Kaprao Moo Grob and Panang red curry. Both automatically came out at level one spiciness.

Strongly recommend this place because the price and quantity is better than some of the competition.

Getting that out of the way, they are about to do a massive renovation and totally transform the space. A quick chat with the manager I learned a lot about the plans for this restaurant and it's going to be incredible and I'm so happy that it is a part of the black moon family because man do they know how to make a good sandwich. You can pick up a coffee right next-door at broadcast coffee, the same people run it. In fact, the two suites are connected through a back entrance. I am happy with how this place currently is, but I am even more excited for the renovation and reopening. Yes, they only are serving lunch hours right now, but as they expand and grow and re-launch in the coming months, this is going to be an excellent addition to the Boise community. I ordered the turkey pesto, toasted without mustard and it was delicious. It has sun-dried tomatoes pesto turkey mayonnaise served on a delicious house made bread. I would recommend to a friend, check them out.

Anesso, annex in Italian, opened next to Broadcast coffee, a business with the same owner hence the…read moreclever annex name, yesterday for "very soft" launch as the owner described it.   We are fans of the owner's sibling eatery, Black Moon in Garden City, for pizza, salad, baked goods and coffee and we enjoy Broadcast for coffee too, so we were following news of Anesso and went yesterday, 5-13-25, for opening day.  Perfeto! For us at least, with a menu of maybe half a dozen Italian themed sandwiches using ciabatta or focacci, that is baked at Black Moon, in options for omnivore to vegetarians (roughly $12 - $15) and four salads and if you've enjoyed the great salads at Black Moon, you know these salads (roughly $7.50 - $9) will be too. My husband and I discovered Black Moon in early December 2023, not long after it opened, when it was not yet well known but we knew as soon as it was, it would be super popular and busy. Yep, that is true now. We think the same will be so for Anesso, with lines out the door once people know it is open for business. So a tip is go now to be "the first kid on your block" to try it without crowds. The only drawback for us is it is in downtown Boise and not closer to our house, so it is roughly 35 minutes from our front door to Anesso's counter, assuming we can find parking once we arrive, but it is so worth it for these sandwiches. Our plan is to eat our way through the menu.   CURRENT HOURS: Open M - F from 11a to 3p as they continue to work through new business stuff and then they plan to expand hours.  We arrived maybe 12:30'ish to find no line, we were surprised by that, but we hear it had been a busy hour before that and as soon as we ordered out sandwich to share, four others lined up behind us.  THE DRILL. Order at the counter from the digital menu handing over head that features half a dozen'ish sandwiches, all on their house baked focaccia or ciabatta with options for omnivores and vegetarians.  (The size is easily shareable and if you tell them you plan to do that, they will cut and wrap each half separately.)  They are still waiting on whatever certificate it is they need from the city to offer inside dining, the tables and chairs are stacked against the wall to be ready, so it is take-away only right now. Conveniently located adjacent to Cheri Buckner-Webb park, the urban park with the big pink tree sculpture, there are tables there to eat at or we were invited to take our sandwich next door to eat it inside Broadcast and since it was raining, we did that and enjoyed Broadcast's Americano with it. THE EATS: Our choice yesterday was to share the mortadella sandwich, with mortadella cut whisper thin as it should be, before piling it on the sandwich with house made pistachio pesto, to echo the pistachios in the mortadella, stracciatella cheese, arugula and pickled shallots on bread with a great chew and sturdy enough to hold up to the ingredients ($14.85).  As 'bonus', we have it on good authority of another happy Anesso customer eating inside Broadcast that the porchetta sandwich is the best he has ever had. ACCESSIBILITY: Level in off the sidewak / patio out front and all on one floor. Order counter is at accessible height. Without tables inside, there is lots of floor space for a wheelchair user to get to and from counter. I hope they'll continue that and ensure their tables are placed for ADA access needs and since they have done that at both Broadcast and Black Moon, it seems they will do it here too. NO PHONE NUMBER: This is true for Black Moon too but Black Moon has a website. Anesso doesn't, they use their insta page but Yelp requires a web address to post this and they will not accept the insta address. So I've inserted Black Moon, their sister, web page.

Oh Kabob House... where have you been all my life??…read more Seriously, how have you been open for 8 years and I'm just now finding you? My husband and I found this place completely by accident. We were craving gyros and drove over to what used to be Gyro Shack on Emerald. I had almost suggested going to a different location because I didn't want to deal with the traffic, but we ended up on Emerald anyway. Lo and behold... Gyro Shack was gone. So there we are, hungry, staring at the building. "Well... should we try Kabob House?" Eh, what the heck. OMG. BEST. HAPPY. ACCIDENT. We went in around 1:00 on a Saturday, and I'll be honest... it was empty, which made me a little nervous. But everyone was so welcoming, and it smelled AMAZING in there, so we figured we'd give it a shot. Best decision. We started with the lentil soup, and I am not exaggerating when I say I would come back just for the soup. It's that good. Warm, comforting, healthy, full of flavor... just soul food. Do not skip it. We also ordered the salad, which was super fresh with an amazing dressing on the side, and shared the lamb kabobs. The portion was huge, the lamb was delicious, and can we talk about the rice for a second? I don't know what they put in it, but I could have eaten a bowl of just the rice. They also brought us a complimentary homemade cucumber yogurt dish (I can't remember what it's called), and it was so good. This was honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time. When we got home, I looked them up on Yelp because I couldn't believe a place this good had been sitting there for eight years without me knowing about it. Sure enough, the reviews were fantastic. So if you happen to stop by and it looks quiet like it did when we were there, don't let that scare you off. Clearly lots of people have already figured out what we just discovered. In fact, we loved it so much that we brought friends back the very next day. Sunday lunch was definitely busier than Saturday, which honestly made me happy because this place deserves to be busy. The owner, Shams, actually remembered us from the day before and even gave my husband a hug. That kind of hospitality is so genuine and just made us love the place even more. This time we ordered the lentil soup (again... because obviously), butter chicken with rice, and a giant naan with hummus for the table. There was so much food we barely had room for it on the table. Kabob House is one of those places you almost don't want to tell people about because it feels like you've discovered a secret... but it's way too good not to share. Amazing food, generous portions, warm hospitality, and a really nice atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back. (And yes... I'll be ordering the lentil soup again.)
