One of my favourite restaurants: SARKIS

Cheap and very very good. Yes, I mean it.
When I was naif, and people told me: go to this place, the food is excellent and the prices are very convenient!!! I used to believe. I Used to go to the suggested place just to find out that the combination of tasty, good quality food and a low price was inexistent. The food was disgusting, and I felt like I was overpaying for a plate full of crap.
So when I make suggestion, I hate to say "it`s good and it`s cheap" but in this case that`s the honest truth.
Try the mousaka, the tomates "willy" and almost anything in the menu cause everything is very tasty (sometimes spyce for the Argentinian taste). Oh I forgot to mention that it`s an Armenian restaurant...an the waiters are crazy. All of them 8and if they are not, they look like kusturica`s characters)
And one of the coolest things is that they have a fortune teller. If you drink a coffee, then take her the leftovers of your coffee and she tells you a lot of things (and she knows what she is talking about!!!)
You are thinking: ok, this place has to have something wrong.
It has. Almost every day (unless you go t 8 or a 11.30 pm) you have to wait to get a table.
And the decoration is not very nice but, who cares, just focus on your plate cause `that`s what matters.
You owe me big time for this tip. Go. Now!!!! (and then please tell me how it was)

i've been meaing to go to Sarkis ever since i read this review on Salthsaker:

http://www.saltshaker.net/20050728/kafta-esque

reading it again makes me so hungry... now i really have to go!

i probably will to do a review for my blog, even though it will be a little bit of pointless repitition because i am going to eat exactly what saltshaker did... it just looks so good and is exactly what i want to eat RIGHT NOW! :-)

Thanks for the added recommendation Diva... hope I can add mine soon!
