Surati Farsan Mart

Submitted by lynn on 04/12/2012 - 11:53pm.

After I discovered this restaurant at one of our book club meetings, I've been raving about it! It's cheap, delicious and vegetarian!

I finally had a chance to return today and brought Dennis with me. After walking in, I got a bit confused because it was much larger with nicer dining tables/chairs than what I had remembered. It'd only been a month or two since my first visit and now this? One of the servers informed me that they had remodeled. Well done Surati because it looked great!

Anny's Fine Burger (Kearny Mesa)

Submitted by lynn on 04/11/2012 - 11:09pm.

The lunch crew decided to try out a new place called Anny's Fine Burger which replaced a thai restaurant they had previously dined. From the staff I found out it had been open for 3 weeks. From the internet I found an original location in Santee and NO information about the new Kearny Mesa location on their website. Time to update folks!

Back to the important part though... the food!

Burlap

Submitted by lynn on 12/14/2011 - 12:16am.

Burlap is Chef Brian Malarkey's second restaurant in the San Diego area, with his first being Searsucker located in downtown. 

The restaurant is relatively easy to find, in the corner of the shopping plaza off Del Mar Heights and El Camino Real. Parking was a breeze on a Sunday for lunch. After stepping into the restaurant, we saw a cozy lounge area near the hostess stand and very vibrant decorations adorning the walls. It was quite beautiful and reminded me of how nice Searsucker also looked.  Our server was super friendly and recommended us a couple of her favorite dishes from the menu! It was pretty hard to choose just two so we went with three for this visit!
