Delhi Dhaba

I went to the Delhi Dhaba for lunch today by Courthouse.  I got the chicken curry, goat curry, and potatoes with cauliflower with bread.  The Delhi Dhaba is a fast food Indian place, where they have a pre-made selection of food.  I think you can also order food too.  The chicken curry was very good.  The goat curry was also very good.  This is the first time I have had goat and it tastes similiar to beef, and a little fatty.  The potatoes with cauliflower was also good.  Overall, I really enjoyed this meal.  I will be back.

Chanab Kabob - Chantilly, Va

Yesterday, I decided to try a kabob for lunch.  I stumbled upon this place.  I ordered the chicken kabob sandwich.  I was not very good.  The chicken was dark meat, which was fine, except it had bones in it.  The french fries it came with were pretty awful.  On the plus side it was a large sandwich that I wasn't able to finish, but I just threw it out because I didn't care to finish it.  Honestly, it was probably the worst kabob I've had in a long time.

Rebel Heroes & Choupi

Today, I decided to hit two food carts for lunch.  These are probably the best deals in Rosslyn, but neither one alone would be enough for lunch.  At Rebel Heroes, I had the pork meatball sandwich.  It is a meatball sandwich served with Vietnamese style pork meatballs on French bread.  The sandwiches here aren't authentic Vietnamese sandwiches, the meat and sauces are a little different, but they are pretty close and good. 

I have actually decided not to go here for awhile since, I have gotten a stomach ache the two times I've been here.  Could be mere coincidence, but that's the chance I will take.

Choupi is a great place for a semi-sweet dessert.  I haven't had the savory or lunch crepes there yet.  I is a great deal for $3.50 a crepe.  The crepe is made fresh and is piping hot.

Halal Food Cart - Rosslyn

I decided to try this place again.  This time I just got the lamb on rice, since I didn't like the chicken the first time.  The first thing I noticed, was you don't get as much meat, when you just order the lamb.  The lamb was tender and quite spicy.  The salad was fresh.  Overall, I like this place much better this time.  Perhaps I was expecting too much for $6 the first time. 

TNR Cafe - Arlington, Va

I went to Court House for lunch again.  This time I tried a Chinese restaurant called TNR Cafe.  I had high hopes for this place.  The menu had many specialities you see in typical Hong Kong Style restaurants.  I was debating between several dishes and I got the Cha Jiang Mien.  It was pretty bad.  It was very salty and it tasted like it came the bean paste came directly out of a can.  The cucumber slices were translucent which meant it wasn't fresh.  They also had bean sprouts on the side which I have never seen in this dish.  The noodles were the best part of the dish.  Overall, I didn't like this at all.  I might come back to try something else, but this was pretty awful.

Cosi - Arlington, Va

Today, I went to Cosi for lunch.  First I will have to say, it took a very long time to get my food.  There were a bunch of people waiting in front of me.  I got the shrimp remoulade sandwich.  The sandwich was decent.  It had a little bit of spicy to it.  They shrimp was good.  I really like the bread at Cosi.  Overall it was a little better than average lunch.  I might come back.

Afgan Kabob House - Courthouse Metro

Today, I decided to venture out of Rosslyn for lunch.  So I took the Metro to Courthouse and went to the Afgan Kabob House.  I ordered the boneless chicken kabob, with a side of eggplant.  It came with bread, rice and a salad.  The chicken was nicely marinated and juicy.  They gave me a bigger portion size than I needed.  I would have liked more rice though.  The bread looked like it was made there, but it looked a little different, as it had holes in it.  Perhaps it was from a mold or something.  The eggplant was stewed and also very good.  When ordering there were several different types of rice to choose from:  brown rice with cumin, saffron rice, and a rice with raisins.  I got the brown rice and it had quite a strong cumin taste.  You also get a decent sized salad with different kinds of dressings available.  Overall, I liked this restaurant.  It had much more variety than most kabob places I've been too.  And it was nice to try something other than the usual in Rosslyn.
