June 29, 2000Good Chicken Tikka Masala at the Olde Ship, But What the Hell is that "Naan"?
The chicken tikka masala at the Olde Ship in SanTana? Two moist, slightly grilled chicken skewers coated with a thick tikka masala sauce. On top of a large mound of succulent jasmine rice with peas. Ramekins of a curry sauce that worked this time and yogurt more sour cream than raita. As good as you'll get with Indian food in a stateside English restaurant.But...the naan. The menu stated that a buck extra would get me some of the subcontinental bread standard. What the nice waiter brought out th
June 1, 2009Death of a Food Court
It happened so slowly it seemed unnoticeable, but as one food stall after another called it quits, the writing on the wall became more obvious: Cafe Court was dying. If your office wasn't nearby -- like say within the area bordered by Redhill, Alton, Jamboree and Barranca -- you probably didn't realize a food court was even there (behind the Sam's Club on Von Karman and Barranca). Neither did I. And when I did, I wasn't initially impressed. Here's what I said about in a blog post dated Au

June 3, 2004This Week In Food
I channeled my inner cheapskate and grabbed surprisingly good dollar grub at Daphne's.Edwin became Sherlock Holmes for a week, unearthing a new pâtisserie/café and a BBQ joint. Proof that it's not all doom and gloom: new places are opening each week.And Matt brought us the good news that lard--bacon butter, for god's sake--might be back on menus before long. We live in hope, we really do.Gustavo, meanwhile, enjoyed the chicken tikka masala at Ye Oldye Shyppee, but when it came to the bread, he
June 5, 2009Can Anyone Beat Royal Khyber's New $10 Lunch Menu?
I don't think so. For just a tenner you get two courses: a starter of either soup or salad, then an entrée from a choice of five (including chicken curry, tandoori chicken and veggie options such as saag paneer). Plus rice, vegetables and proper naan bread! Stitch that, Olde Ship, with your pita-masquerading-as-naan! (And, to answer your question, Gustavo, like you, we Brits call naan naan and pita pita!)South Coast Plaza Village's Indian eaterie is offering other prix fixes too: a $15 lunch de

December 23, 1999One of O.C.'s Best Rice Dishes: Puliyogre at Dosa Place
Dosa Place in Tustin remains the best Indian buffet in Orange County, not just because it's a rarity 'round these parts (a South Indian dive instead of a focus on tandoori everything, although that's available as well) and all-you-can-eat but because the food is excellent on all levels. Although the chefs stick to tried-and-true subcontinent parameters (curries, rice dishes, veggie meals), the fun is in guessing what will bubble up on a particular afternoon. Will the curry be carrot? Beet? Squas

July 23, 2009Dueling Dishes--A Brace of Quick Curries
Suffering through a horrid cold, I thought I'd sample two healthy-ish frozen, microwaveable curries, to try to clear out the sinuses.First up: Trader Joe's Chicken Vindaloo.Now, as much as I love TJ's, I've had pre-packaged frozen entrées from them before, and, suffice to say, they were not a success. One, a disgusting concoction of chicken and blue cheese, was so vile it went from oven to trash almost without touching the plate. Yeuch!At least the ingredients are all natural, and, with 2
September 24, 2009Life on the Veg: Noorani Halal Tandoori in Garden Grove
Dal UradNoorani's Halal Tandoori Restaurant is a hole-in-the-wall type establishment that is pretty easy to overlook, particularly amid the clusterfuck that is Little Saigon's urban design. If you do notice, chances are you'll experience a moment of severe disorientation when you realize you're looking at a Pakistani restaurant in... well, Little Saigon. It may look like a fish out of water, but since it has been located on the same block for about 20 years, it's most likely that the outgrowt
