It was our first time going into Coney Dog Cafe today, a very nice restaurant and a clean restaurant. The staff were friendly and greeted us with a smile. We barely had to wait 10 minutes for our food to come out nice and hot. Even with eating the chilli last it still was nice and warm. All the food was good, especially the onion rings I would say make the meal. We will be coming back for more great food next time!

2 slaw dogs n 2 sliders

Well..Hmmm Will never go again. Husbands food cold. Who eats cold sliders with no onions ?? Unless you order no onions. Cold slaw dogs. Looked like they weren't even cooked at all and tasted old and boiled. Hot fries and onion rings. Very nice waitress. Still kinda dirty looking . Old used menus on the table. Yeah wrinkled and dried food on them. Holy cow !! That's it for ConeyDog Cafe in New Haven. Sad.

9th year anniversary prices.

Coney Dog Cafe is one of the hottest restaurants in New Haven! A reservation 3 weeks in advance will still have you eating after 5pm, and even then you may get "bumped" by a celebrity patron. In our case, it was an employed person. In all honesty, these are not the kind of places that I am inclined to like very much, but this place offers up amazing food at a really affordable price's(see pictures), so like every mere mortal, I anxiously await my turn in the very short line to eat here. It really is worth the effort., That was a newspaper food critics type review. Now what do you really want to know? Is it really worth the effort to go? Depends, if you are looking for a typical dough nut type shop atmosphere. With newspapers laying out? No they don't buy any, a customer will have to leave one. The chief, was a young teenager. He was replaced by a very experienced type hot dog chief. This should tell you about the skill level of the employees that got (retired) here. The food is very well garnished, with fresh buns. But the hot dags are of economical meat? And had oil coming up my throat, after about a half an hour. Even with the bread from the bun. The french fries are also oily and did the same thing. All in all it is not that bad of a place to go to. *Note* If they went down to Wall mart, instead of the Gordon's Food supply. Then bought expensive "all beef" hot dogs. I would bump them up one star.

Chicago and New England dogs, slider

Visited today...and we ordered a variety of items. My kids are not huge Coney dog fans so we were glad to find lots of different options for them. My husband and I sampled the New England. Chicago and regular Coney dogs along with a slider for each of us. They were delicious! We also ordered two onion rings (go ahead and order the family size because we loved them so much we ended up eating another order!). The onion rings were nice and crispy and the perfect size - not too thin or fat. Our kids both ordered the walking taco which they gobbled down. They said they were better than the other ones I do at home, hands down. The service was also excellent - we had Cassie as our server. The foot came out quick so even if you I don't have a lot of time, you can pick something up fast. I noticed there were a lot of carry out while we were enjoying the dine in. So next time you are nearby either one of their two locations, stop in for a quick bite; you'll be glad you did!

Sadly the breaded pork tenderloin has changed to a lowly pork fritter. Big difference.

Aladdin Food Express - Lamb Shank w/ Biryani

Aladdin Food Express

4.1(14 reviews)

Why this place is so out of the way and receives so few reviews, I'll never know…read more Aladdin Food Express is a bit out of the way for most Fort Wayners (or... well, anybody, tbh), yet it's easily the best Indian AND Burmese restaurant in town. This is not hyperbole: The cantina serves two different menus, one Indian and one Burmese, each handled by a chef from their respective country. It's basically two restaurants in one. (One time, the Indian chef went on vacation while the Burmese chef was still working, so we couldn't have our fix of Butter Chicken.) The Indian chef also looks like he could be our prof. Eh, question his life decisions all you want. We have many profs, but only one Aladdin. So how does Aladdin taste? Amazing, actually. Even the fried chicken is good, and I heard a couple folks order the pizza. Y'know, just in case you brought that new friend from work along and they couldn't stand this ethnic food. This fried chicken is Indian-spiced so it's not as famous as Lee's, but you know what they say. All the bestest things can be found on the down low. So after having ventured this far across town to enjoy some American fare, you may now wonder what the Indian stuff tastes like. Y'know for dessert. Let me tell you this: The butter chicken is DIVINE, and the lamb shank dinners are about the cheapest price you'll pay for finished lamb shank anywhere, while still maintaining quality and an American portion of sides. Personally, I found the lamb shank a tad chewy and didn't have much meaty flavor, so I didn't enjoy it as much as the one at Halal Eats', but darn it is a good value. The biryanis and tandoori stuff are great as well. Only thing that would make it better is if they used a higher meat-to-rice ratio on the biryanis, but for the price they are charging in this economy, I really can't complain too much. So yeah, Indian chef's solid. You know what's not just Aladdin's, but Fort Wayne's best-kept secret though? Burmese cuisine. Fort Wayne is one of the VERY FEW places in the entirety of America where you can find Burmese food, and most of them advertise as Thai. That being said, the thokes (Burmese salads) provided at Aladdin are superb. The laphet thoke (tea leaves salad) can be used as an appetizer, dessert, side, or, since it's an American portion for $7, as a way to have your day's worth of food on a college budget. The ame ou thoke (honeycomb tripe) is normally hot as hell, but I think they toned the spicy down a notch recently. Since the biryani lacks meat and the ame-ou packs heat, I find combining the two to be a worthwhile experience. Asian Fusion, baby! Mohinga is always great and always out of stock, so I just have my friend's mom make it for me. Thanks (friend's) mom! TL;DR If there were more Aladdin Food Expresses, we could've achieved world peace.

I have been wanting to try this spot for months! Unfortunately it is located way in the southeast…read moreside and quite a trip! I have tried on two other occasions but to no avail as they were closed or not opened yet! This time I hit pay dirt! Or so I thought. The schedule posted on Yelp said they were opened at 11:00am. I had a couple of hours to kill so no worry! I was parked in the parking lot and was ready to pounce at 10:45 and the place showed no activity! At exactly 11:00 the staff pulled up and turned on the lights! I gave them 15 minutes to fire up the woks and by 12:00 I was eating tea leaf salad followed by lamb shank biryani! The lamb and rice were succulent and the best around! The Burmese hot tea was spicy, sweet and delicious! The tea leaf salad was tremendous! All the other diners were men and women dressed in traditional garb and speaking what I can only guess was Arabic or Burmese! Check the schedule or call before making the drive and don't be the first in line! But the place is da bomb!

Went for breakfast to this locally owned diner. The place is spotless a big plus for me. Husband…read moreAnd I had classic breakfasts which were just great. Everything was well prepared and served piping hot. When in their neighborhood try this unpretentious little place time well spent.

I love eating in New Haven because I grew up there. Manny's was pretty good. Unfortunately, there…read morearen't many front parking spots, but I think they have a side area. It's decent-sized once you get in, plus they have an extra party room. We went there on my birthday, which was kind of a letdown. My friend ordered the corned beef and cabbage, which I also ordered. But the waitress talked me out of it and told me I should order the enchiladas so I could share. So I did, but I told her absolutely no onions because I am allergic to them. I started eating my enchilada and pulled out a huge onion and then like ten more. After pulling out all the onions I couldn't eat, there was barely any meat, so I was basically eating tortilla in sauce. I told our waitress and she apologized and told me that she told the cook no onions. I told her not to worry about it. My friend's corned beef and cabbage was good. The corned beef was a huge portion and cooked perfectly, but the cabbage was a little overcooked. Our waitress was very nice, but did not offer to take my meal off the bill, so I paid for something that could have harmed me. For $38, I was really hoping for a better experience and food, but I am willing to give it another try someday because they have such a huge menu. Next time, I think I will try their biscuits and gravy.
