Beirut Bites ("BB") has been on my radar since I saw the restaurant front near CCSU earlier this…read moreyear. I love Lebanese food and noted BB for a future visit/order. I noticed BB on DoorDash tonight. I ordered a chicken and beef shawarma platter with rice, a small salad and a green hot sauce that seemed homemade. The food was mostly good. The beef, chicken and rice had nice flavor and texture. This type of green hot sauce was new to me, but I liked it. The salad was the one area for improvement. The lettuce was starting to lose its structure to an extent that it seemed likely mixed well before my order. If the lettuce had been crisper, the salad would have been fine. Since I live in the general area, I likely will order from BB again. The DoorDash order was timely. It's worth checking out if you live nearby. Four stars

While in the mood for Greek food, we stopped by Adriatik in Glastonbury. When we first arrived,…read moreoutside the door was marked as "Adriatik's Catering" I wasn't sure if this is where Catering orders come out of, but it turns out it's all one place. The inside was entirely empty, a few people stopped by to pick up their orders, but no one was dining inside. On the wall they have awards they've received from 2011 to 2025, all for being in the top 10 restaurants. It was a bit awkward being the only ones here, but there are bigger issues in the world. Their menu offers pizzas, pasta, gyros, salads and more. We first got an order of their sautéed calamari. This had a nice tender and chewy texture. This is unlike what most places offer. The sauce was also very flavorful, we actually ate it by the spoonful like a soup. Their garlic bread was great for dipping into the sauce. Not a very garlicky garlic bread but not bad. We all got some variation of the gyro, with salad, fries or rice. Mine was with the Greek Salad. This Greek Salad was very fresh and the feta cheese on it sealed it all together. Unfortunately the lamb in the gyro was very overcooked and dry. It wasn't good at all. The tzatziki sauce is always a favorite. Overall I wasn't super impressed with my meal. I might stop by sometime in the future and try something else.

Central Connecticut. Glastonbury to be specific. Fifty pizza places in a three block area. (…read moreseems that way anyway). But as we know this IS the spot on the map for the best pizza, not the south end of the state, its up here in the middle. And Adriatik blends right in. Got that greeky crust going on, thicker than that lame thin New Haven stuff. A decent sauce, not too sweet, not too much 'zing'. You wont be getting heartburn from it. Works for me. You looking for a pasta dish, you'll find something worth checking out. Baked Manicotti was good. Prices are getting up there, as they are everywhere. Plenty of tables inside, has an old school pizza place vibe. Staff is always friendly and happy to see you. The place around the corner in the same mall ( starts with a G) always seems to have more cars, must be the booze cus the food over there sucks. Adriatik, go there.

This was outstanding and will be getting my grinders from Yanni's from now on.

I'm honestly very disappointed with my recent experiences at Yanni's Pizza in Newington because…read morethis has always been one of my go-to places. The first time, I went with a friend and ordered the lobster ravioli. While eating it, I started feeling nauseous and ended up returning the dish to the server. The next day, my friend contacted me and told me that she had become very sick after eating the separate dish she had ordered. I can't say for certain what caused either of us to feel sick, but the experience definitely left me concerned. I decided to give Yanni's another chance because I've always enjoyed going there. Unfortunately, my second experience was also disappointing. I went with my girlfriend and we ordered a meat lovers pizza. The crust had what tasted like a stale/refrigerated flavor, and the crust itself was noticeably different from what I was used to getting from Yanni's. My girlfriend also thought the pizza was terrible and told me we shouldn't go back. That's what makes this so disappointing. This used to be a reliable go-to spot for me, so having two bad experiences back-to-back makes me wonder if something has changed. I really hope the restaurant looks into the consistency and quality of the food because I'd much rather be able to recommend Yanni's again.

The pork gyro sandwich was huge- filled with a generous amount of meat and topped with tomato, onions, and French fries. I loved the tzatziki sauce - creamy and delicious.

Madani's is one of a few businesses in a more residential neighborhood of New Britain between downtown NB and CCSU. The inside is both a food market and restaurant. Although there are two tables squeezed between the kitchen and food display area, the atmosphere is not a selling point and it's safe to call Madani's more of a takeout place. In fact, when I ordered in person, they did not even ask me if I wanted to dine in. Service was professional, but not particularly welcoming. Based upon very quick internet research, ghallaba is a Lebanese stir fry with ingredients such as meat, poultry, onions and/or peppers served with basmasti rice. Madani's dish was served with slightly chewy Halal beef strips and sliced onions - sort of resembling steak fajitas. It was seasoned with warm spices, giving it a well rounded, mildly spicy and smoky flavor. It was very tasty and I would order it again, even though I would prefer more tender beef. The basmati rice was very good and had perfect texture. I noticed a cardamom pod, which I assume was part of the rice rather than the beef. I'm sure that contributed to the great flavor. The meal also came with a small acidic salad of lettuce, tomatoes and onions. The acidity was a welcome contrast to the spicy beef. The dish was served with two condiments. One was a seemingly homemade Green Hot Sauce that I believe is called Zhug (aka, Schug or Zhoug). It was tasty and medium spicy, and I used it in moderation. The second condiment may have been mayonnaise? I'm not sure how that makes sense culinarily speaking, but it looked and tasted like mayo. Feel free to message me if I'm missing something. I had a good first experience at Madani's and I'm sure I'll be back to try something different for takeout. Those lamb chops may be calling my name some night. Four Stars

Also, the Chick-fil-A drive thru which dominates the three restaurants in the building was jammin. So cars were coming and going like it was rush-hour on the Long Island Expressway. We ordered at the counter, and the food was delivered to us at our table. There were two televisions, going one with a football game on it from I don't know where or who is playing, and the Senate hearings were going on another television. In the background was music. It was a little busy noise wise to say the least. I ordered a lamb Gyro, , which which included tzatziki sauce, cucumber, tomato, and onion. Also included with this order, were shoestring french fries that were well seasoned, crisp, and on point. The fries reminded me of McDonald's. Also included was a fountain drink. The restaurant was slow, with one party of two just finishing up when we walked in. I saw only one other customer walk in when we were eating. So in other words, this place was dead. Jersey Mike's next-door was hopping, along with two doors down Chick-fil-A. Lunch was quite expensive at $32 for two. My friend had a cheesesteak with fries which didn't look big at all. All in all, I don't see the value here. The food was good, but really pricey. This was a destination to try once. On the way out, I did notice pizzas on the counter selling per slice. Those didn't look appetizing.
