There are plenty of Ethiopian restaurants to choose from near the corner of Greenville Avenue and Forest Lane, but you’d do well to choose Sheba’s Ethiopian Kitchen. Now well-established, it still shines like a brand-new restaurant. The cooking stands out too, with strong flavors, quality ingredients and injera with a seriously sour bite. Start with […]

If the name didn’t clue you in to this bar and grill’s all-things-British theme, you’ll figure out the second you open the door and see the full-size red telephone booth and the walls, which are bedecked with rugby and cricket memorabilia mixed in with the typical pub design. Because Sherlock’s boasts far more easily re-arranged […]
Restaurant and pub chain offers nothing extraordinary this side of Chili’s. If you’re looking for happening live music, skip this place. But if you find yourself here for some reason, take advantage of the daily drink specials. A few cheap drinks can make even a generic cover band tolerable.
Shinsei has been providing pan-Asian flavors to the Lovers Lane set for over a decade, under the ownership of Lynae Fearing, former wife of Dean Fearing, and Tracy Rathbun, who is married to star local chef Kent Rathbun. Executive chef Carlos Capistran oversees a sushi-centric menu with the help of sushi chef Shuji Sugawara. But […]
Shipley’s glazed doughnuts are doughy and covered with the perfect thin layer of sugar glaze, making them an authentic alternative to those sugar-heavy air pockets made at other chains. Yes, Shipley is a chain – one of the few good imports from Houston – but the doughnuts are made in-house by people who love sprinkles, […]

The six-page menu here contains much more than what meets the nose. Starters like deep-fried onion and paneer pakoras are fried to an airy crunch. We began with the appetizers of simple potato-filled samosa pastries complemented by more modern renditions of Indian food, like naan strips with spicy hummus dip. Plates full of fried snacks, […]
Shug’s owner, Justin Shugrue, is a Westchester County native who moved to Dallas to attend Southern Methodist University. After getting his finance degree, the career didn’t suit him. That coupled with the fact that he not only loved bagels but also worked at bagel bodegas back east led him to open this spot near SMU. […]
The restaurant formerly known as Thai Express on Inwood Road moved to Oak Lawn Avenue and reopened in late 2012 as the considerably swankier Si Lom. The subterranean location is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it (psst: it’s underneath the Goody Goody), but seek it out and you will be rewarded. A […]
Don’t be deterred by the extensive menu. Owner Ildefonso Jimenez has trained his people well. Simple tapas such as roasted almonds or pan-fried blood sausage are things you can’t stop eating. More extensive small plates like cod croquettes are memorable. Classic gambas al ajillo (shrimp with garlic) is rich and pungent. The tapas remind you […]
This might just be the best Sichuan restaurant in the area, one that can dial up the numbing spice or showcase a more subtle side. After polishing off some superb spicy wontons, look for the dishes with Sichuan peppercorns, especially if they involve seafood, like the spicy fish. If you don’t want peppercorns setting your […]
While some bars are cozy and chill, Sidecar Social is anything but. It’s almost preposterously large, sprawling almost 20,000 square feet. The main bar is flanked on three sides by 18-foot televisions to catch the game. And instead of sitting around, Sidecar Social encourages friendly competition, with traditional bar games such as pingpong, darts and […]

Before ordering, each table is gets an order of papadam, a wafer-thin black gram bean flour baked until cracker dry. It’s served with savory green chutney and another, a sweet tamarind. We started with an order of the lahasuni gobi which is battered cauliflower glazed in a sweet and spicy garlic chili sauce. This plate […]
When The Grape closed in 2019, the heartbreak that Dallasites felt was palpable. Sister, which opened in the same space in late 2021, has filled the role of lower Greenville’s neighborly bistro admirably. With its menu of “loose Italian” and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, a visit to Sister is a delightful journey of pastas, proteins and vegetables […]
Sisu Uptown Resort is one of the few Uptown aqua lounges that does not require a club membership. Open to the general public, Sisu’s pool accommodates people looking to swim year round, and can easily shift from indoor club to outdoor party, depending on the season. A haven for Dallas’ least modest bikini-wearing socialites, Sisu’s […]
The name Sixty Vines comes from the fact that this restaurant offers 60 wines by the glass, but this is far more than just a wine bar. It has an efficient, high-quality kitchen, with good pizza and pasta to go alongside the drinks. Sixty Vines is an interior designer’s dream restaurant. This Plano hot spot […]

Located in the heart of Knox Henderson, The Skellig is a classic Irish pub with some Southern flare. Pop in for some beers on tap and stay for a European meat and cheese board. Or, catch the big game with some friends, and stay into the hours of the night. Throughout the week, The Skellig […]
Sky Blossom offers one of the best seats in all of downtown. The rooftop Vietnamese bistro and bar has a spectacular perch in the center of downtown with an open-air dining area offering a bird’s eye view the area. (The sky-high pool at The Joule across the street is a great conversation piece for sure.) […]
It’s the little details that make the cheeseburgers at Sky Rocket stand out from the pack. The sesame buns are so committed, they’ve even got sesame seeds on the bottoms. The beef patties, formed in-house, are given delightfully hard sears on the grill. No matter how many toppings you add – there aren’t many; just […]
