What is 'half the price'? I want to take my friend there for her birthday.

You might want to try Mari Luna in Pikesville. Original location is the old Carvel's across from Safeway and Rite Aid. Additional location opening in a week or so next to Jilly's across from the Pikes. Very good - always crowded - especially after 6pm.

I never heard of the restaurant until tonight when someone asked me if I'd like to go there for dinner. I'd love to hear if it is any good. Did you try it?

I just had Kaddo Borawni tonight at The Helmand. I had forgotten how much I love it. First thing I did when I got home was to search the internet for it. I would love to get the recipe you mention that was featured in Baltimore Magazine.
