I worked in Concord back in the late 80s, and would regularly eat at the Gas Lighter. That was a…read morelong time ago! I had recently been wondering how the Gas Lighter was holding up, and decided to take my wife there for lunch today. Boy, what a pleasant surprise! My wife is a second generation Greek American, and we both know Greek home cooking. We started by splitting a bowl of their Avgolemono Soup (chicken rice lemon); the absolute best we have ever had! We both ordered the Lamb Gyro, and it was delicious! The Tsadziki sauce was wonderful...loaded with garlic, and the Gyro serving was very generous. The French Fries were also good, crisp, but not greasy at all. My wife had Onion Rings with her Gyro... home made, lightly breaded, and very tasty. The desserts were next. They offered Baklava, Greek Rice Pudding, and Galatobouriko (a very special treat, made with crispy phyllo dough, and a firm custard, with a syrup). I had the Rice Pudding. My wife had the Galatobouriko. Both were delicious! The Owner/Chef, Soula, is very friendly, and the restaurant was very comfortable, clean, and inviting. Very nice staff! The Gas Lighter can lay claim to being the first Greek restaurant in Concord. Oh...and the beer IS the coldest in Concord! We'll be back!

Meat is not made on the rotisserie spit, it's chunks on the grill. Tasted great and the Tzatziki sauce is fresh made, classic style, and tasted good. Portion was smaller than other places I've been, but I am ok with that. Only downfall, for some, is a limited beer selection.

The mixed veg paratha, which I shared with my dining companions, was also excellent as I am told were their lunch specials. The sweet lassi was highlight - I get this often when I eat out and this version is a new favorite. Service was awesome - we were seated immediately and special requests (like no onions on the chaat) handled easily and efficiently. All around a great experience.

We are big fans of the chicken pakora, tikka masala & lamb curry. We have been trying different soups also, and haven't found one that we don't like yet.

Also has the best memory I have ever seen- if you meet her, you will see that for yourself! This place is a gem! Go get some Indian & enjoy the music of their culture.

I didn't get a picture of the soup because I dove in and made a mess before I thought of it. Everything was clean and the bathroom had warm water! I was so happy about that because so many places we go the bathroom is freezing cold and the water is like ice. Definitely will return!

N'awlins Bar & Grille is back open in NH after a 7 year hiatus, this time in Concord, in the former…read moreChuck's BARbershop space. N'awlins Grille was formerly located on Elm Street in Downtown Manchester from 2013 to 2016. There hasn't been a Cajun/Southern restaurant in the Concord area in 3 years, so N'awlins Grille fills that void. This Cajun restaurant & bar is a speakeasy bar located in an unmarked building near Eagle Square. Same as before, upon walking inside the front door on Low Avenue, look for the phone to the left in front of the mirror and pick up the phone to be let inside through a discreet door by staff. This bar and restaurant has a chill vibe with string lights across the ceiling, painted jazz musician caricatures on the walls, and exposed brick walls. The long full service bar lit up in pink & purple, booths and tables, and a small performance stage in the back corner with piano. They will feature live music on certain nights, including jazz and zydeco. Upbeat jazz music plays over the speakers. The food menu offerings include a decent variety Cajun style dishes including jambalaya, crawfish etoufee, po boys, red beans & rice, gumbo, okra & tomato stew, plus appetizers (fried frog legs, fried pickled vege, snow crab clusters, shrimp remoulade, hush puppies, alligator andoulle), burgers, chicken sandwiches greens salad, and desserts (beignets, cakes). The prices are moderate, most entrees in the $15 to $26 range (in 2024). The food menu 10 years ago seemed bigger, and the pricing in 2013 was about half, per my old Yelp posting in October 2013. I enjoyed their crawfish pie and alligator bites at the old Manchester location. The bar offers 8 draft beers, can/bottle beers, wine, and cocktails. After hearing that N'awlins Grille was back in open in a new location, I had to check it out. After I was let inside from the cold night, I took a seat at a booth directly under the heater. The staff introduced themselves and I was asked if I've ever been to N'awlins Grille when it was open in Manchester. I've been there a few times with my buddy back when he was still living in Manchester. We were also greeted with bead necklaces there. I took about 5 minutes to finally decide on the Jambalaya ($21 plus tax) served with skillet cornbread. The Jambalaya came out 5 minutes after ordering, nice and hot. The jambalaya "stew" had a mix of shrimp, vegetables, tomatoes, seafood, chicken, andoulle sausage and spices over rice. The dish had good mild spicy flavors, and the sweet cornbread balanced the flavors out. The shrimps were very soft to eat. For the dessert, I got the Beignets ($7 plus tax), which consisted of 3 fried dough pillows smothered in powdered sugar. This hot dessert was a great choice to end the meal. I haven't enjoyed Cajun food since last summer on my cruise. I'll try some of their other Cajun dishes and Po'Boys next time!

Salad- perfection Parm fries- literally best I've ever had. Hush puppies- ok here's where things get a little weird. They are AMAZING. BUT, they aren't traditional. They are lighter with a finer grain and crisp and I am absolutely sure there's room in my life for both puppies. I will be back to try the real food and review then!

Not a stodgy theater with little legroom and a see-and shut-up atmosphere. It is a living theater, one where you can bring your wine and cheese, one where audience participation is accepted, one where photo is not frowned upon. Besides Jordan's superb performance, the thespian-loving crowd was in rare form, making it a part of the uplifting show. The theater has awesome acoustics. And as well, there is not one bad seat in the house, as the fairly steep angle of the rows provides for superb visibility throughout. The large bar and sitting area upstairs compliment the Stage. Welcoming, comfortable, with a full bar and wine offerings. Indeed, the Bank of New Hampshire stage is a model for others to follow.

The seats are classic theater seats and not recliners, but that's fine with me. They're comfortable and in good condition. The theater rooms are small, which I also like. I love the fact that this is a non-profit theater right on Main street as well. Unless you really want to see something in IMAX, I would skip, the huge, noisy, chaotic and expensive theaters for this one. You won't regret it!

Our Mother's Day late lunch at Tandy's Pub & Grille was unforgettable and I am so grateful we wandered in. The chicken & lemongrass dumplings were genuinely one of the best appetizers I have ever had in my life - perfectly balanced, deeply flavorful, comforting and bright all at once. Every bite felt intentional. The rest of the meal was equally flawless. My Chicken Caprese sandwich and my husband's Club sandwich were excellent, but the dumpling appetizer just stole the show for me. My mouth waters writing this and remembering! We sat outside on the patio on a beautiful spring Sunday, listening to the nearby fountain and the happy sounds of families celebrating together. It was the kind of atmosphere that reminds you how special simple moments can be when everything comes together just right. What truly elevated the experience from excellent to exceptional was the service. Greg (and another gentleman whose name I did not catch) made us feel genuinely cared for and welcomed from start to finish - warm, attentive, welcoming, and effortlessly professional without ever feeling intrusive. Hospitality like that is rare. Perfect food. Perfect atmosphere. Perfect service. I'm already looking forward to our next visit where I will immediately order those incredible dumplings again!
