Balans Restaurants
Happy hour heaven....looking for happy hour late at night? This indian owned British chain has 3 locations in Miami..the Brickell location has 3 - 8 happy hour every day and on mon tue & wed another happy hour from 11 pm onwards. Cheerful waiters, great appetizers, a highly repeatable experience.
Chu's Inc
Dim-Sum gem, tucked away around the big circle on Ponce. Huge space, about 1.5 years old. Good selection, check out the special menu if you want that authentic Taiwan feeling. Dim-sum is cheap, weekday lunch specials are easy on the wallet. The Taiwanese chef whips up a pretty delicious lunch. Hot pot dishes are excellent, the Peking duck at the next table looks like it just flew in from the old country....& that is a 2-course extravaganza for the entire table. Quiet space also for conversations
Clay Oven Indian Cuisine
Must try the Paneer Makhani, and I love the channa masala, and the Eggplant bhartha. If you happen to try the buffet, they are very friendly, kids eat for free, and for $10 you can eat all you want. One of the best take out/delivery choices in San Francisco, in my opinion.....perfect for foggy days in the city!
Cafe Gratitude
Yum vegetarian! Ok it's actually vegan and even I being just an on-and-off vegetarian was wary.... But the smoothie call "I am Luscious" blew me away, finally I know the taste of raw chocolate! Soups are tasty, food is healthy and the new age ambience is not too overwhelming, just right for a cold afternoon in June... And reasonably priced as well.
California Pizza Kitchen
We are waiting for some yummy thin crust pizzas - but the best part is: the last time we were here we got a "Don't open it" certificate, to be used on this visit....just opened it, and we got 20% off the entire check! Great food, even cheaper....wonder if we get another certificate this time! We're definitely returning!
