The populus of this forum are dotted all around the world and it may be useful to know of good places to eat if we ever visit cities by other users.

Last night i went out to the Saki Bar and Turkish Grill on Manchester's (UK) Curry Mile in Rusholme.

The resturant is a new venture on the property after a Carribean themed resturant went out of business late spring this year.

As i walked in the staff greeted me courteously and quickly directed me to a table for two. First impression was of friendly and adept staff. I sat down chatting and looking around, to my back was the Charcoal Grill. The coals were white hot but through intelligent design i was not subject to a sauna experience, a salad bar and selection of kebas were available for viewing but i did not parttake fo either. The menu was printed cleanly with descriptions and a couple of dishes had the Turkish names shown for the liguistically adventurous. Being a student i avoided the starter and looked at the main course selecting a shared "Saki Special" consisting of a selection of Kebabs served on a Pida bread. The Polish waitress had an excellent grasp of english and even entered into some light banter with me.

As an apetiser a loaf of pida bread was bought for us to eat. The food consisted of a chili kebab with just the right amount of spice not to flamethrower my bland English tastebuds, a grilled lamb chop and chunks of Chicken and Lamb. There was also a side serving of Chili sauce to add spice to our meal. A side salad and rice were also provided. The rice was done very well and not in the industrial manner which can leave it sticky and undercooked. For desert I managed to tear myself from the English ice cream and attempt a Baklava which consisted of thin pastry layers with honey and nuts.

The final meal cost including drinks (1 Beer & 1 Glass of Orange Juice) came ot £25, (40 Euros, $45) - not sure of exchange rates.

I would definatly recommend anyone who visits Manchester to have a meal here. 8/10

I've Gone To A Restaurant Called Farrouj Achkar ( Blonde Chicken ) And Ate a Chicken with parents

[Flying Tigers]

there's a lot of restaurants over here that opens at night and they serve pretty good seafood
It's called 'nasi uduk 89'
there's also a spicy food restaurant called 'sederhana'
but If you don't get used to eating spicy food, you're going to get a stomachache

[Moosy Crisp]

Good thing you went with the Baklava. It is delicious. If you eat anywhere in the United States, the first place you should go is to Ruby Tuesday.

[Nuke General]

No, Ruby Tuesday's ain't that great. American Cafe FTW!!

[BlackBob]

Ted and Jo's if your anywhere near New York cross the river and go into Hoboken its on the corner of 11th and garden st. Best Burgers. its an Irish bar and restaurant

[Moosy Crisp]

wtf are you smoking man? Ruby Tuesday is awesome. Their burgers are orgasmic. If you don't like their food, you need some mental help.

If you are in Minnesota anytime soon, you must go to BW3. awesome food, you can get some alcohol while you're there if you want, and they have awesome chicken wings. ATOMIC BAT WINGS FTW!

[Ascendancy]

If you're anywhere in Western Nevada anytime soon (but I'd see no reason why you're wasting your time out here), Carson City has a casino, called the Nugget, with a great coffee shop. If you're lucky enough you'll win the money to pay for it through the paper keno they play there all the time though it's still reasonably cheap. Gambling and dining FTW!

Dude, their burgers are fine, I love the triple prime but their service SUCKS, it may be just at the several places near me but it takes like 2 hours to get our food every time we go and the waiters are nasty. No need to have a shit coniption

Noooo, go to Texas Roadhouse. If you love BBQ, steak, or BBQ chicken, this place is a must. Traditional country-western dining. IMHO, the steaks are 100x better than Doc Holiday's.

Thats a good one right there, another one of my favorites is Bennigan's. As far as a plain old burger joint goes my favorite is Steak and Shake, there they actualy give you a hamburger instead of of a little beef with your salad on a bun.

And some local restaurants.

I also went to a restaurant in P.E.I. 4 years ago and they served incredibly good lobster and steak. TOGETHER! ON ONE DISH! WITH A SIDE OF BAKED POTATO! P.E.I. POTATO!

I was, during the late summer. The Ekeberg resturant on Ekeberg, overlooking Oslo. A great place. Futuristic, but still soulful architecture, great service, and a marvelous view over the city. I recall I had smoked salmon filetes with boiled herb-spiced mountain potatoes and traditional vegetables, plus some kind of wine-based sauce. It was great.
