I wanted my usual Indian but didn't feel like driving out of the way. So there's apparently this…read morenew place right on my drive home. Good reviews, let's go in. I went in, and the entire place is marked Self Service. You order at the kiosk and you pick up at the counter, whether dining in or taking out. Okay, fine. This was my first time. Staff is very friendly but difficult to understand, so I took my time translating foods. Settled on Manchurian paneer for the appetizer and a dry chicken (pachi mirchi kodi) biryani for my main course. Nice and spicy. I considered eating in vs. taking out; it's a modern bare place and there are several tables although nothing fancy (hard plastic and wood benches), but the main factor is that the drinks are overpriced. Maybe bring your own? Problem with the kiosk is that I can't just ask for water, nowhere to type in requests - though I do not recommend Parsippany water. Maybe the lassi is worth it but the cups weren't that large for $4 plus. One man's opinion. With that said, now that I've mentioned the kiosk, if you want or need to customize your order (allergies, add-ons, etc.), I do believe you can walk up and order in person as well. Spicy food home after multiple warnings. Verdict? Paneer: Less spicy and less crispy than I expected. Dipping sauces included, but at least one seemed like it was meant for the biryani. The white yogurt sauce I held onto. At least a solid portion size 3.75/5. Biryani: Meat buried under the rice. Good quantity, unique flavor for a "dry meat" dish that I had to look up. Spice maybe a touch hotter on this one. 5/5. Sauces: The brown sauce is thick and not spicy. Made it my dessert. White helped with the heat. Neither sauce was on the menu but they were thrown in with my order, which was nice. Verdict: Fun, convenient, and I'll keep it in mind to try some different things here as I pass every afternoon - but it's not dethroning my favorite.

This is a review for the Japanese pop up that happens at Chuck's place on Mondays…read more The lovely chef offers up homemade artisan rice balls, mapo tofu set and lots of other Japanese delicacies that I've yet to find in the Hudson valley. I recommend on your second and third visits to order ahead as she sells out almost immediately after opening. Service is quick considering she has to curate your order. Even though this is in a pasta joint she has such a friendly demeanor and the hospitality is great while you're watching her do her thing. 10 out of 10 recommend. Also if you go for that six rice ball set you're going to be stuffed so plan your day accordingly.

My wife and I were looking for somewhere different to get away for our anniversary this year, and I…read moredidn't think she'd ever been to the Catskills area. We stumbled on the Inn at the Ridge through some Google searching. We only spent two nights, Friday and Saturday, so we were treated to Sal's weekend cooking. Easily among the best food at a B&B that we've ever had. When I booked, I didn't realize that I had booked the one room with a disconnected bathroom. Yes, it's private, but downstairs. Since the Inn wasn't completely full, they offered to relocate us to another open room, we didn't ask, they just suggested it. The house is old, like real old, so expect some quirks like wide creaky floors etc. The beds were quiet though, which was the important thing. Each room is uniquely decorated. The Inn is a nice distance from busy areas but not so far as to be a hardship. It's extremely close to Angry Orchard's Innovation cider mill, a state park with great trails, and even a little college town. I could probably go on, but Yelp's review editor is giving me issues. We'd definitely stay here again if we're in the area.

Our room was very comfortable with a king-sized bed. The location was perfect - close to Minnewaska state park, as well as several nearby towns and a few good restaurants. The breakfasts were the highlight of the experience! One of the hosts is a CIA-trained chef and he made fabulous food for us - chocolate-stuffed french toast, a great frittata, and more. They serve breakfast at a communal table, which is nice for getting to talk to the other guests there. We would definitely stay here again.

It's located right in the heart of everything, making it super convenient no matter where you're coming from. This is a must-visit spot for birthdays, anniversaries, or any special occasion. Dining here feels like an experience, not just a meal. The space is open, beautifully designed, and truly transports you--I honestly felt like I had been taken straight to Naxos. It's definitely on the upscale side, and you can tell they prioritize quality. We ordered several appetizers, and everything tasted incredibly fresh--from the fruits and vegetables to the meats. Our waiter was so kind and helped guide us through the menu with great recommendations. I ordered the steak, and it was cooked perfectly. But our favorite had to be the bread served with olive oil, olives, and hummus. It was such a unique and thoughtful touch--something we hadn't seen done quite like that before. And the hummus? Clearly homemade and unbelievably fresh. I'm usually not a hummus fan at all, but I tried theirs and absolutely loved it.

Filipino-themed pop-up restaurant. I caught them at Rose Hill Farm in Red Hook, NY. It's got all…read morethe favorites: lumpia, pancit, even a brownie topped with an ube glaze. There are rice noodle bowls on offer and I opted for one of those, a vegetarian bowl. Different veggies simmered in a coconut sauce, adorned with a few pickled and some fresh vegetables to add variety and crunch. The flavors are familiar to a Filipino palette but also seem lighter than traditional fare. That's a good thing, in my opinion, because some Filipino food can give a cardiologist a heart attack just thinking about it. If they can bottle the habanero mango sauce, I'd buy it. That's good stuff. By the way, Sira Ulo literally means "broken head." Gotta be a bit crazy to run a restaurant/pop-up these days.
