Central Market is Mecca for foodies, plain and simple. Whether it’s single-origin coffee beans, orange blossom water, 10-year-aged cheddar or $120-a-pound Iberico ham you seek, this maze of a grocery store has it all. A behemoth of a produce section offers no fewer than 10 different kinds of potatoes, not to mention fresh juices, pricy […]
Chennai breaks the mold of the stereotypical suburban Indian restaurant with clean, modern décor, and thali options instead of buffets. Every meal must be ordered off a sprawling menu that may contain significantly more dishes you don’t recognize than ones you do. This is a good thing.

A tiny gas station and market anchoring the outside corner of an otherwise nondescript strip mall has become a center of natural living near White Rock Lake.

Kalachandji’s, inside a Hare Krishna temple in East Dallas, lets its employees decide the day’s buffet menu.

This South Indian vegetarian kosher restaurant offers an extensive menu of vegetable dishes and even Indian pizza.

To try a sampling of dishes, order a thali, although again […]

Tucked into the back right corner is a small lunch-only buffet set up on a few tables like a catering affair. The food, however, is fresh and hot. Along with […]
