Butchers/best meat in Edmonton? Specific ethnic style meat preparation or items?
I have been going to real deal meats (its way on the south side), very friendly and they have just started doing lamb and goat, soon to have bison. http://www.realdealmeats.com/
Edmonton: where to buy kaffir lime leaves?
Just saw huge bundles of fresh lime leaves at T&T in West Ed on the weekend
Jasper, AB - Recommendations?
La Fiesta was really good when I went there last year, the wife and I had the 2 course special, the wife had the artichoke dip which we could have easily shared and I cant quite remember what i had for an appetizer, for a main we both had the Paella and it was a huge amount of food and all really good. Watch out for the sangria it is very tasty but had us swimming a bit after only one pitcher.
Edmonton RROTM - November: Zaika
Had dinner there on thursday with the wife, the drink special was any bottle $4 so we enjoyed a Singha and a Stella. We both decided on the buffet as it looked very good and fresh. The fish pakora was salmon and looked excellent but the flavor turned out to be pretty bland. The samosas were very tasty and the only complaint I have was i wish there was more dip selection for these as they were missing my favorite kind (not sure what it is called but it is kind of a jelly consistency that is sweet with a bit of spice). The butter chicken was very good, dal was very good, the nan bread was good but i like when they cook it in front of you (no oven in the dining room), lamb curry was okay, rice pudding was good they also had some traditional sweets that i can not comment on as i still have not developed a taste for these. The service was excellent, attentive but not to much so and the price was very reasonable. I definitely go back as this is very close to my house and its nice to see that the area is getting a few non chain restaurants unlike south edmonton common. (will try to work on my review writing skills as it does not compare to some of the reviews posted last month from others)
