Summer Indian Chaat Festival at Samar Deserves a Longer Run

samar1

Sadly, Samar by Stephan Pyles will close in a couple of weeks for three months of scheduled renovations to the office building that it occupies. Not only will this mean that we don’t get the regular menu, it will also mean that they won’t get a chance to reprise hits from their one night Summer Chaat Festival last night (where I was an invited guest). Chaat is Indian street food and examples are rare here, being confined mainly to the small cadre of authentic Indian restaurants dotted around Irving and Plano.     Continue reading →

Stop By Samar For A Chaat

chaatby Andrew Chalk

Samar by Stephan Pyles just announced a Summer Chaat Festival on Wednesday June 12th. Guests get a three-course menu for $35 ($55 with wine pairings) plus tax and gratuities. There will be live entertainment as well. Chaat is the term for Indian savory street food although its popularity has spread more broadly in southern Asia.

Samar will also have kebabs. The Chaat menu is served throughout the evening. Call (214) 922-9922 for reservations. This is the last event at Samar before they close their doors for a major renovation.

Celebrate The Persian New Year At Samar By Stephan Pyles

PNYFestivalFINALby Steven Doyle

One of my very favorite restaurants in Dallas that we do not hear a lot about in the media is Samar. This is Stephan Pyles fantastic restaurant that serves up mainly global tapas from regions such as Spain, the Mediterranean, and South America. This is the best first date restaurant as it has all the most romantic elements. You share an experience, the cuisine and the atmosphere.

A few times a year Pyles announces a celebratory dinner that is exquisite and priced perfectly so that anyone wishing to attend can easily enjoy the evening.  There is one such dinner coming up soon that you wil not want to miss.      Continue reading →
