Casablanca Couscous and Grill

Lamb Couscous

Moroccan food?  Yeah, I was totally clueless on that subject before I paid a visit to Casablanca Couscous and Grill.  I really found out about this place by driving by it on my way home from the gym.  Let's say, putting a camel on your store front sign will definitely catch my attention!

Casablanca has a very homey feel to the place since it's literally a house made into a restaurant. The food was tasty and well-prepared.  Since this was my first time eating Moroccan food, my opinion to saying its legit would have a 50/50 chance on it being correct.  It's like saying Panda Express is authentic.

The only small complaint I have was the dishes being individuals rather than family-style.  I read a review on b-4-u-eat.com and someone said there was one family dinner meal, well lets say the waiter had no idea what I was talking about.  Useless review!

The likes/must tries:
-Beef Tagines
-Kofta Tagines
-Soup of the day (the one we had was pretty good)

The reason why I didn't like the Lamb Couscous much was because it was extremely fatty.  My eating preference polluted my mind on my opinion towards that dish, therefore no review.

It's been over a month since I ate here, so I am not able to recall all the names to the dishes I had.  All I remember is the food can be a little bit on the heavy side.  Be warned!  No gym session right after dinner!

This restaurant is a toss-up (try it if you wish.)

So today I ate...

Breakfast

Started my day off with a butter croissant from Costco with a cup of fat free milk.  Very simple to the point I almost forgot to take a picture of it.

I have to admit that this blog topic will be hard to keep up since I forget to take a picture of my food before I dig it.  Oops!  I forgot to take a picture of what I ate for early lunch today!  Just to say it was just leftovers from the night before.

Orange Cream flavored ice cream on a sugarcome

After a day at the beach, I swung by Flavormania for an ice cream fix. 

Mushroom broth, beef tongue, rice stick, greens

For dinner I had Taiwanese hotpot at Sweet Home Cafe.  Lets just say I have never ate hotpot this way before.  I will blog a review on this place after my second visit.

So yay to eating today!  =)

Tandoori Nite

L-R:  Daal Makhni, ?, ?, Tandoori Chicken  -August 27, 2010

 My favorite nite of the week!  Unlike most food truck, this one doesn't involve a chase down.  Parked outside a Phillip 66 station is Tandoori Nite, a wonderful Indian/Paki food establishment in Houston, TX.  I know the thought of eating outside by a gas station isn't the most appealing to a lot of people, but you should just suck it up and give it a try because it is truly a gem.

I first read about this place at http://www.29-95.com/restaurants/story/all-indian-food-truck-family and recruited my foodie gang for a new venture that very day.  After that first visit, we all decided to bookmark this spot for future Indian food cravings.

The must try list:
-Tandoori Chicken (The chicken is moist and not dry!)
-Butter Chicken
-Daal Makhni
-The rice

Like most Indian food, it's really heavy and can't be the most healthy thing to eat in the world.  So I would recommend a trip to the gym the next day after eating this food goodness.

I don't like to hype up things to the point you would be extremely disappointed.  All I have to say is Tandoori Nite is a MUST TRY!
