Food update #3

Afghan Kebab House (25-89 Steinway): The name says it all - this small, one room charming restaurant in Little Egypt serves great Afghan food and kebabs!  We got a combo of kebabs, which were each marinated in different sauces and cooked to perfection, and chicken quorma (Afghan stew), which was filled with chicken, veggies and a mouth-watering combination of spices.  The meals come with delicious basmati rice that is perfectly spiced with cardamon, flat Afghan bread, and salad.  Couple it with amazing Moroccan mint tea and you've got a perfect dinner for two!  We will surely be back to sample more kebabs and quormas!

Ovelia (34-01 30th Ave): This open-air corner Greek restaurant has a great atmosphere and serves an awesome and inventive brunch.  We dined with friends so lots of interesting foods were tried! For instance, the beet omelette, which, as the name suggests, is a beet infused omelette filled with goat cheese; the dish came with a side of sauteed fruit, which were delicious!  Another interesting twist on brunch was the greek yogurt stuffed french toast, which was a tasty combination.  Will definitely have to try other inventive menu items on our next visit to this place!


That's it for this time.  Stay tuned for more restaurant reviews in the next installment!
