Urbano Cafe Lives On!

Since they announced our closure earlier this month, a buyer who wants to carry on the business has come forward and we are delighted to let you know that Urbano will remain open under new ownership.

What is particularly exciting is that the new owners are keeping the front-of-the-house and kitchen teams on board, and Kevan, who has been at Urbano for over a decade, will be promoted to general manager. That means you’ll still enjoy the same great food and see all the familiar faces that have made Urbano such a special place.

The new owners are local residents and experienced East Dallas restaurateurs, and they believe they understand what Urbano has meant to the community and want to preserve the essence of what it is. More to come from them as they take over next month.

They are accepting reservations through February 17 ( including Valentine’s Day) at 214-823-8550 where you will see Mitch and Kristen Kauffman running the restaurant until the transition, February 17th.

Kalachandji’s Offers A Cuisine Unlike Any In Dallas

kalachandjisby Steven Doyle

One of my first visits to Kalachandji’s was as a college student, and it was Thanksgiving. The meal included a visit to the Krishna temple escorted by one of the many devotees who live in the neighboring homes. With the meal we enjoyed a tofu turkey, which was actually much more delicious than it sounds. Although the spice level is very minimal, the repast was elegant and flavorful. We dined in the open air patio which is centered inside the restaurant.

During subsequent visits I was shown more of the cuisine, and always have a great sampling at the luncheon buffet which is excellently curated by the cooks, setting out just enough for the guests as necessary as not to compromise the quality of the food.   Continue reading →

The day has arrived for White Rock Alehouse & Brewery, a new brewpub bringing craft beers and great food to the community of Lakewood and beyond.

Founders Dave Kirk and Greg Nixon are friends and entrepreneurs with a love of the craft beer movement who created their concept to fill a gap in the market. They’ve witnessed the craft beer world evolving around the country and in Dallas, too, with breweries opening locally – but with few options in the stretch between East Dallas and Garland.
