The boys and I stumbled onto a new place we like to eat tonight … though it’s another of those “HOW MUCH?!” places that we will only be going to on special occasions, since it’s $30\/person.<\/p>\n
Tanoor Grill on Germantown Parkway between Trinity and Macon is kind of like a Middle Eastern version of Texas de Brasil, only without the outrageously huge salad bar. The service was fantastic and the food was really, really good!<\/p>\n
After we were seated and had ordered our drinks, the server brought us plates of hummus, tabbouleh, and babaganoush; a salad of romaine, cucumber, and tomato with small pita chips and a dill-yogurt sauce on top; a basket of pita triangles; and bowls of steamed rice and roasted potatoes. The hummus was delicious \u2014 not too much garlic, and a drizzle of some kind of chili sauce on top that turned out to be a perfect complement to the lamb. The tabbouleh was good, but a little sharp \u2014 a bit too much lemon for my taste. The salad was delicious. The dill sauce was not overwhelming and made a great accent to the vegetables. The babaganoush was one of the better versions I’ve had, not too smoky and nicely creamy.<\/p>\n
Then the skewer-bearing meat servers descended. We had filet mignon, bone-in chicken breast, boneless chicken breast, lamb, sirloin, roast beef, meatballs … they just kept coming. Caleb liked the filet and the boneless chicken best, while Isaac preferred the roast beef. I like the meatballs and boneless chicken best, though the filet and the bone-in breast weren’t out of the running. The lamb was good but, as Caleb said, a bit gamey. I liked it a little better with some of the hummus on top. (Which may not be the orthodox usage for hummus, but I liked it.) When we were all on the point of exploding, we found out that there was dessert! (By the way, they don’t let you box up any leftovers, not even of the salad. I understand why, but I hated to see the waste.)<\/p>\n
Once the entree plates and utensils were cleared, we were given small plates and dessert forks. And a skewer-bearing server brought us grilled pineapple! It was the perfect end to the meal, though we could only eat a couple of slices each. The caramelized finish on the outside contrasted nicely with the bright, crisp flavour of the center of the slices.<\/p>\n
We will definitely return … though it will have to be a special occasion, as a $125 meal is not something we can indulge in on a regular basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
