At Ajumma, try Jjolmyeon, or cold spicy noodles, the perfect summer dish. A mess of noodles is served chilled and dunked in spicy red pepper sauce, surrounded by small mounds of julienned vegetables. Stir the veggies into your plate and enjoy. Ajumma’s atmosphere is distinctly old-fashioned; the restaurant’s founder recently opened a new spot, Hot […]
Akira Back opened in the summer of 2022 in The Colony with chef Akira Back at the helm. Many might remember the former snowboarder-turned-restaurateur from his 2008 appearance on Iron Chef America where he competed against Bobby Flay. That same year, Back’s Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant and Lounge opened inside the Bellagio in Las Vegas with […]
Al Biernat is the czar of the front door, the dining room sheik, and that’s all you need to know. Bred at The Palm where he held court as frontman for some 22 years, Al Biernat knows that great steaks and fine seafood vibrate beyond their requisite flavor profiles when jolted with charm. Al Biernat’s […]
For more than two decades years, Al Markaz has been an institution in the Dallas-area Indian and Pakistani communities. Some of the original employees are still here, and the lunch combo is still an outrageously good deal. That long history, and those low prices, are still a big part of the restaurant’s appeal, but there […]

The Alamo Club feels like it’s always been a part of Lower Greenville despite having opened in 2019. Owner Austin Rogers can often be found running food, taking orders and sometimes bussing tables at the classy Dallas club. The Alamo Club is billed as a cozy spot fit for any occasion, a quiet date night, […]
This Austin-based chain is known for simultaneously serving up booze, food and great movies. Alamo Drafthouse resides in an old Pep Boys in the Richardson Heights Shopping Center, and has 740 seats backed up with a full kitchen and 40 beers on tap.
Just up the street from Casa Linda, Alfonso’s – named after proprietor Peter Columbo’s father – has been pulling in the neighborhood crowd since 1991. The shiny black-and-white checkerboard floor, fresh flowers on the tables and colorful photos of Italian street scenes set the mood for a cozy, enjoyable dining experience. For starters, they’ve got […]
Ali Baba is one of Dallas’ best bargains for excellent Middle Eastern food, despite a cramped location with odd hours. We especially like the golden chicken, a half-chicken baked on a rotisserie and crisped under a broiler. Boston Market take note: Whatever they do at Ali Baba, this is how you’re supposed to make rotisserie […]

If you designed the diner of your dreams, and you happened to be from south-central Texas rather than, say, New York or the Midwest, the result would look a lot like AllGood Cafe. The food here adds gentle Texan touches to American classics, like the fat slices of roasted poblano pepper in the terrific grilled […]

Ame in the Bishop Arts District offers an upscale setting for Indian dishes backed classic French cooking. Think masala baked eggplant with a turmeric béchamel sauce. Lamb chops are cloaked in pistachios and herbs of a perfect mound of pistachio potatoes. Samosas have a surprising pop of heat. The wine menu is extensive and the […]
In a city that could use a few more casual Italian restaurants, Americano lands in the heart of downtown with a generous plate of spaghetti and meatballs. There are no red check table cloths, but the menu is decidedly Italian-American, with the simple pastas and braised and grilled meats you’d expect from the genre. If […]
Amici has a lot to boast about – great food, an intimate atmosphere and a pretty endearing location, considering it’s way out in Carrollton. But the best thing about the cozy Italian restaurant is the chef’s pants. When we visited, they appeared to be patterned with various types of peppers in a plethora of colors. […]
Amor y Queso is charcuterie and grazing board spot in Deep Ellum where you can pick up either an individual or party-size box of artisan cheese and other locally-sourced snacks. Think of it as box of happiness. Great for picnics, light meals or snacks for date nights or any special occasion.
