I loved trying out this restaurant. From the outside, it's not very appealing, and even when you…read morewalk in, it doesn't immediately feel like a standout spot. But don't let that fool you--the food more than makes up for it. Everything is made fresh, the presentation is beautiful, and every dish I tried was absolutely delicious. They also offer tea ceremonies for groups, which I thought was a fantastic and unique touch. I can't wait to go back!

Stop 3 on our global cuisine adventure takes us to Ethio Beans in Carol Stream…read more The service and hospitality was fantastic, they're very patient for newbies like me who have never had Ethiopian food. We had the Shekla Tibs, collard greens, kitifo, and the coffee and tea. My favorite was the Shekla tibs and I'm obsessed with the tea. My partner said he could live on the collard greens and coffee. The ambiance was authentic and had several booths and tables, connected to a grocery store. Overall, I'm thrilled to have tried something new and had a great experience. My partner who's had Ethiopian food before very much enjoyed it. Definitely give them a try! The world may be large but it is places like this that shrink it enough for everyone to be able to experience other cultures and food.

The club that provides the best care in the State.... The club that once you become a part of you become a forever member. WHAT IS THE CLUB YOU ASK? The University of Iowa Children's Hospital in Iowa City, Iowa In 2018, my daughter was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and was admitted immediately.... And it was hard, it was hard, it was hard... Savannah our nurse told me my daughter took her medicine well and I thought she was crazy....but it was a boy in the elevator that planted the seed about where to go for stuffies and my daughter pivoted... After we got a stuffie my daughter agreed to go to the 12th floor. The 12 floor had different air up there like #23.... The 12 floor restored my faith with my daughter Adrian (named after #94) and her cousin Madisen showed me family IS the best medicine... So every Hawkeye wave I remember the struggle; not only this hospital visit, but my childhood, #32, Jon Mai, my Ss who think I'm the most beautiful teacher, anyone who has walked where I've walked my whole life, the Entire ICCSD community, the JaguArs Softball Program, and my principal Mr. Andy Gahan at Coralville Central who is my why....honorable mention for those that suit up for Grandma & Moms...I see you....and remember I am a part of the club... The club no one wants admittance to... The club that provides the best care in the state.... The club that once you become a part of you become a forever member. Thank you Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital for always welcoming me back to the house that the WHOLE community built with your help, It's ok to ask for help....I even signed the beam...I see you gymnasts.... I not only wave to the Children's Hospital, but I wave to the hospital that saved me, and try to wave to anyone because you may be the reason someone stays...

Stephanie is the best server ever!…read more Happy to be the Duchess here. My husband ordered the Original BLT and fries. It came with soup too, but he didn't want any. My only gripes are no vegan options (get with the times!), and the $1.50 plate sharing charge.

Jbeez is UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT and I'm so glad we decided to check them out again after our visit…read moreover a year ago. They decorated the dining area very nice. Tables are best, tidy and the place is very clean. The Pakistani food is delicious, made fresh daily and they offer halal meat entrees. The menu has expanded quite a bit and offers dishes for every palette from non spicy to spicy both vegetarian and various meats. They had a huge catering order of over 50 Nihari containers that smelled and looked really good! (I'll have to try that next time too!). The Mediterranean Grill items provide hummus, salad and rice accompaniments! I ordered the boneless chicken breast shish kabab which had a generous amount of meat. We also ordered the chicken tikka which came with 4 pcs (2 leg quarters). All the meat had nice seasonings, flavor and were not overly spiced. We ordered 2 lacha paratha's to accompany all the chicken that were really tasty. Even though we were full, we couldn't stop eating the rest of the paratha's! The chai and kheer was spot on and not to be missed! We plan on returning on a weekend to try their puri halwa. The owners are very friendly and make sure you are fully satisfied and happy with your meals. It's a great place for real authentic Desi food!

Our friends were visiting from Michigan and wanted to take us out to lunch, so we chose Beez…read morebecause it was close to home. It turned out to be a great choice for a casual, healthy meal. Beez is a small, counter-service restaurant--somewhere between fast food and a sit-down restaurant--but without sacrificing freshness or quality. The dining area is simple, clean, and pleasant, with a few tables for eating in. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the food was good. The portions were generous enough that we all ended up taking food home. My favorite was definitely the falafel. They were fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Everything we ordered was satisfying, fresh, and well prepared, making it a great alternative to the typical fast-food lunch. If you're looking for something healthier that doesn't take forever, this is an excellent option. Overall, everyone in our group left happy. Good food, generous portions, friendly service, and a convenient location make Beez an easy place to recommend for a quick, satisfying Mediterranean lunch. According to the restaurant, it specializes in Mediterranean cuisine along with Turkish, Pakistani, and Indian-inspired dishes, so there is a wide variety of flavors to choose from. (ubereats.com)
