My favorite restaurants in Phoenix

This list is not going to be very long, probably because I'm always cooking and not eating at restaurants!  Maybe this post will have to be a work in progress as I try new restaurants now and then.

CHINESE RESTAURANTS:

1. Wong's Place on Baseline and McClintock in Tempe, across the street from Target.
2. Peter Wong's on Camelback just west of 15th Avenue in Phoenix.
3. The dim sum place I went to with Christie, it was in Chandler.

Both of these restaurants make really good Crystal shrimp with walnuts.  And try the Szechuan eggplant, hot and spicy with a little pork added.  For a good vegetarian choice, try Wong's Place Hunan Tofu, very yummy!  Wong's Place also has the most amazing Sea Bass with brown sauce.

DIM SUM:

1. Phoenix Palace at Dobson and Warner in Chandler.  The carts go by your table with huge piles of food on them.... Mmmmmmmmm!!
2. C-Fu Gourmet at Dobson and Warner in Chandler (across the street from Phoenix Palace!)
3. Golden Buddha at the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix at 44th St. and the 101.  It's acceptable!

Ok, maybe you won't find dim sum equivalent to what you can eat in Chinatown in San Francisco... but you can still have fun eating tasty dim sum!

MIDDLE EASTERN RESTAURANTS:

1. Haji Baba on Apache in Tempe.
2. Princess on Broadway in Tempe a block east of the 101.

INDIAN FOOD RESTAURANTS:

1. Delhi Palace at the corner of Rural and University in Tempe
2. Delhi Palace on McDowell at 51st St. in Phoenix, just west of the Papago mountain pass.

Both of these restaurants have buffet at lunch, with the most popular dishes; spinach with cheese, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, rice.... sooo fragrant!  Or you can go for a very elegant dinner, everything on the menu is delish!

KOSHER STYLE DELI FOOD RESTAURANT:

1. Chompie's on University in Tempe, between Rural and McClintock

There's really only one.

MEXICAN FOOD RESTAURANTS:

1. Adrian's #2 on Main St. just east of Alma School Rd. in Mesa.  Do not blink or you will miss it!
2. Filiberto's..... they really do have great carne asada burritos.
3. America's Tacos on 7th St. just north of McDowell in Phoenix.  Great tacos!  I haven't tried the newer location at Rural and University in Tempe, hopefully they're just as good.

GREEK RESTAURANTS:

1. My Big Fat Greek Restaurant on Mill in downtown Tempe.
2. Posidon Greek Restaurant and Deli on Main St. in Mesa, between Alma School and Extension

Try the Greek fries at either place.  Posidon also has a little market where you can get your feta, olives, grape leaves, and all your other Greek food ingredients.   :-)
