Erik "Nicknames Are For Tools" P.'s Profile

If I could make love to an eatery, this would be the one.

The food here is superb and FRESH. So, so fresh. Think Will Smith before he got all Hollywood and started pumping out soulless action flicks. Seasons 1-3 of The Fresh Prince fresh. Like, before they switched moms and turned Hilary into a complete airhead.

While it can be a little tight when it's busy, it's well worth sitting inside. It looks like a set from Total Recall, but with far less annoying dialogue. Ambiance is killer, and makes for a very relaxing place to weep openly at the marvelous bounty laid out before you.

The hummus plate is a good place to start, though if your experience of hummus has been limited to store-bought mainstream brands, you'll probably be disappointed at how little it resembles the snot of a toddler. This is the real deal, and then some.

You can't go wrong with any of the entrees, though you're welcome to try. I had the grilled chicken pesto sandwich once and I swear I transcended consciousness and was able communicate with the dead for a few minutes. Your mileage may vary.

For those of you counting calories, F@#K IT! Grab some of the delicious vegan sweets under the glass and pig out like there's no tomorrow. Don't worry about your self-respect - the desserts are so good that you'll forget all about it halfway through the first bite. There'll be time to hate yourself for it in the morning, but for now... *gurgles*

I've never been to Thailand, so there's that.

This food, though? Makes me feel like I have. Like someone up and dropped an entire chunk of Southeast Asia into my mouth. But in a good way!

Much of my visits here are a blur of blissful devouring, but I distinctly remember loving the chicken satay so much that I may have asked its hand in marriage. Given that cooked chicken lacks cognizant functions such as speech, I left with that dream unfulfilled. I highly recommend you try it - the consumption of Manora's chicken satay, that is, not the misguided attempt at matrimony.
