The food is pretty damned good, generally speaking. I wasn't 'over
the moon' about the gulyas, but that was probably just me, and more
likely, it was the weather. The gazpacho was truly ... wonderful and
I'm not given to overstatement. The specials sounded really special
(!), and I"m sorry I was wedded to the idea of the damned gulyas! And
the desserts! Oh. Mein. Gott!! Go there for the desserts alone.
We were far too full (and it was so bloody hot) to indulge in dessert.
DO GO. And if it's a weekday, zap me an email and I'll meetcha :-)

Another great Davis option is the Afghani restaurant, Kabul. Food is
fab. So fab it inspired me to buy 2 (count 'em!) cookbooks, and I
think the Afghani dishes I whip up here at home are wonderful and are
by and large (although not universally) equal to those at the
restaurant. I just happen to like the owners so much that I continue
to go back to the restaurant, and to take friends/co-workers with me,
in the interests of helping to keep the restaurant going. Great food.
Tell Mustafa and Sara that Tammy sent ya :-)

I'm in South Natomas. Give me a yell sometime and we can meet up.
I'm tdmcniff at ucdavis dot edu I'd love to connect!
