At Kitchen of Kuchipudi, look for a lunchtime bhojanam, with the choice of vegetarian or “non-veg.” This Irving restaurant specializes in Telugu cuisine from Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh, India, and the bhojanam is a massive sample portion, much like a thali, allowing you to try tiny portions of eight or nine excellent curries, stews, chutneys […]

Knife Italian

This highly anticipated new restaurant from chef John Tesar is now open at the Ritz Carlton at Las Colinas. Tesar, whose Knife & Spoon restaurant in Orlando was awarded a Michelin star in 2022 and 2023, has turned his gaze to Italian cuisine, and all eyes are on Knife Italian to meet the expectations set […]

K’s House

K’s House could be a gateway for non-Koreans to learn to love bulgogi or soft tofu soup, which is coming later this fall. On the other hand, it might not be such a gateway. It might instead serve as a substitute, much as sweet bowls of pad Thai have helped conceal the real depth and […]

La Bodega

La Bodega is a grab-and-go spot that serves a small menu of sandwiches, salads and rotisserie chickens. There is no dine-in here, but a few tables outside to eat picnic style. This is the work of Oak Cliff native and Dallas restaurant veteran, chef Skye McDaniel.

LA Burger

This chain specializes in burgers and fries loaded with Korean influences from the Los Angeles upbringings of brothers and co-owners Ben and Jon Lee.

La Joya Fine Mexican Dining

This is a truly distinctive Mexican restaurant that is essentially a collection of family recipes inspired by the cuisine of Cotija (for which the cheese was named), a small town in the southwestern state of Michoacan.

Lanny’s Alta Cocina Mexicana

Lanny’s Alta Cocina is without a doubt one of the pillars of the Fort Worth dining scene. Headed up by the great-grandson of the guy who founded Joe T. Garcia’s, Lanny’s turns out food that is miles away from the fajitas and margaritas you’ll find at that other institution. Refined and classy but never stuffy […]

Lola’s Restaurant & Lounge

Lola’s Restaurant and Lounge in Irving markets itself as Afropolitan restaurant providing authentic African cuisines. You can try delicious Nigerian dishes such as suya (a spicy meat skewer), jollof rice, goat pepper soup and designer stew made from palm oil, fermented locust beans and bell peppers. My absolute favorite is the whole fried fish that […]

Lola’s Saloon

Since 2008, Lola’s Saloon has been one of the top venues in North Texas, arguably the best in Fort Worth. Each week, local and national acts shuffle through the bar, which, perhaps thanks to the name, has a looser, more comfortable feel than its counterparts in Dallas. The d

Lola’s Trailer Park

From its chilled-out patio to an array of mouth-watering grub from local food trucks, you could easily spend an entire Saturday at Lola’s. It’s the type of place you can bring the whole fam for an afternoon outing, plus your four-legged friend, too. This stellar Fort Worth venue also boasts a stage that’s hosted some […]
